Indeedy!
I'm not terribly happy with the way the Starbuck character has developed, but she was pretty messed up on New Caprica once the Cylons took over there. In the initial mini-series, when she clocked the XO during a card game, I just cheered.
The writing of Battlestar Galactica has been mainly outstanding. The arc of the New Caprica episodes tacked the issue of terrorism straight on. The show has dealt with a lot of very adult and very difficult themes in a way that few shows outside of HBO have dared to do. If you have not seen this show because you have bad memories of the cheesy 1970's version, do yourself a favor: Go rent the 2003 miniseries and then start watching the shows from the beginning of Season 1.
