Let it be known for all times there were once two planets in this system. The planet Lister made great television shows. The planet Liber made crap
They had to fake the ratings

While I loved the miniseries, BSG as a weekly show is just too pathetically predictable for my liking.
Apollo and Starbuck hooking up? Predicted it the second they annouced she was a woman and the BSG wasn't creative enough to avoid it.
Adama and Pressie hooking up? Predicted it at the start and from what I've been told, those two are almost there and getting closer with each episode. Again, boringly predictable.
And I truly loathe the over-the-top and in-your-face camera style BSG uses. The camera is supposed to convey the story, not be so glaringly obvious that it's difficult to actually see the show itself.
I suppose my biggest gripe with BSG is that it has no sense of subtleness to it at all. It has all the subtley of a 2x4 to the face.

A short resume for BSG:
S1: A couple good episodes the others filler and waste of time.
S2. The Razor episodes were okay, the rest boring and predictable.
S3. Two episodes are interesting, filler,filler,filler,filler and then the last episode where I knew Apollo will do the same thing he did in the first two Seasons: The Voice of goodwill and etiquette.
1.Cylon story is crude and unappealing. Same old cliche. We build robots, robots get irked, we flee for our lives.
2.Caprica 6? Don't know why she shoots with her clothes on. She's bound to take them off in every scene, so don't give her clother.
3. The Gaius story? Boring like a flat table. "He gets caught, he does not. He is a cylon, he is not, hang on...what if we missed something and he really is a cylon? Oh, noes, we did not miss anything, he is not a cylon."
4. Starbuck? I've never seen a more repelling character. Arrogant, selfish, self-centred, superior to everyone and of course, "monogamous".
5. Lee Apollo. Shaw described him perfectly. Daddy's boy.
****I am just warming up ****

I haven't seen the last half of BSG S3 but up until then I loved the show but at the same time I can't figure out what the hardcore BSG fans see that's so great.
Every once in a while there's a good space battle and the stuff on New Caprica was ok but at the end of the day what sticks out the most from BSG (IMO) is Baltar whining "Oh my god am I a Cylon??!!?!" and that one really really aweful scene where Boomer starts whining "I'm a frakking Cylon!!!!!!"
Basically what I'm saying is that the characters on SGA (and SG-1 for that matter) are a lot cooler than the drama queens on BSG.

I thought it caused problems with BSG

If the BSG characters were real people, I would find a good remote place to live where I would have nothing to do with them. Whereas if the Stargate characters were real I would want to interact with them. We have enough negative stuff going on in the world without adding to it which is how I feel about BSG."Embress your life, find what it is that you love, and pursue it with all your soul. For if you do not, when you come to die, you will find that you have not lived."

We get that in Stargate true but at least we get it with a smile on our face not with a straight and bored face."Embress your life, find what it is that you love, and pursue it with all your soul. For if you do not, when you come to die, you will find that you have not lived."
