Woman, I totally feel you. I watched it when it originally aired and was just kind of meh about it except for loving a lot of the characters -- the aforementioned Adelle, but also Topher, Sierra, Victor, et cetera. I enjoyed a lot of the missions, and I thought the arc as done well enough.
I hate Tahmoh in BSG, too, so yeah. He's basically playing the same person. SUPER SELF RIGHTEOUS NO SELF DOUBT I KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT AND THERE'S NO GRAY AREA. Ugh.
BUT, yeah. It's not my favorite. And the second season mostly irritated me. Except for the first episode, which was interesting? And I wish they'd just picked it up from there?
Re: Vampire Diaries! Yes! I don't know if I can recommend it to you in good conscience. But once you get past the first five episodes, it's mostly very smart and well done. Great plotting. Fabulous characters. I would recommend watching the pilot (which be warned, is awful), then skipping ahead.
