About Battlestar Galactica: fascinatingly, I find myself disliking Admiral Adama and President Roselyn intensely. I especially like the secondary characters: Felix Gaeta, Sam, Calley, and others at that "rank" of character. The character I really want to see again is Scar.
Adama is an Admiral and his humanity, in the form of his "family", is fading away into their own human fates. His relevance is becoming increasingly practical.
Likewise, Roslyn is quickly learning to justify the means with an end—however hypothetical. Her Realpolitik is as brutal as it ever is.
Baltar's a knob, and he'll follow anyone who tells him he's important.
... you know, I can't think of any characters I really like right now. Cavil (#1) is interesting in the same way Roslyn is. Six alternates between pathetic and manipulative. Lee's trying to reassemble himself. Kara alternates between self-destructive and inhumanly driven.
But I'm sure enjoying them all flail around.
