I was expecting it to be sub-par as well, based on other people's reactions, but it was great on the whole. It's maligned a bit unfairly, I think.
I can see that they were sort of going for a Cold War with the Dominion in series three. It's just that they seemed to have forgotten about it for many of the episodes.
BSG is the only show in which I could imagine anyone having the soundtracks without having seen much of it, such is the genius of Bear McCreary. You should watch more BSG if you get the time. BSG's a show I think everyone should watch. And while the ending is very flawed and pretty much broke the fandom, the utter brilliance of its first two seasons and the majority of three and four more than outweighs the later fail (and heck, season 4.5's worth if for the soundtrack alone) Still, if it helps, it took me three years of saying I was going to watch it before I ever actually got around to watching it myself.
