Once (ok, maybe twice) a year, I HAVE TO rewatch Battlestar Galactica (2004).
Everytime I get hyperengaged and sometimes even emotional about the amazing stories, characters and the relationships the writers put together episode after episode. Even the "fillers" are great.
I find myself coming back to it, rathar than watching some random new, probably unfulfilling show (but I do watch many anyway - it's not like I reject new shows).
I am rational enough to know that it was a great show, but probably not THAT great to be so stuck with it.
For the record, when the show was on TV I was studying in Tokyo, so basically I missed it, and I didn't get to watch it until years later, when I was quite past (so I think at least) my "formative years". Meaning, I don't think it's "teenage infatuation" (I have other shows, music and movies that cover that section).
I wonder why.
PS: this last bout of "galactitis" was triggered by watching the Mandalorian, obviously featuring Katee Sackhoff, aka Kara Thrace aka Starbuck, as Bo-Katan
