I quite liked Serenity. So does, apparently, everyone whose opinion matters, even people I dislike whose opinion matters. (Witness, Orson Scott Card writing that Serenity is the best science fiction movie ever made, and that he doesn't want there to be an Ender's Game film unless it can be made to be as good as Serenity.)
I also quite like the new BSG. As I put it to someone else, I'm old enough to remember the old BSG, and young enough to remember it fondly. However, I need to warn you: if the miniseries used danger to children manipulatively, the second season uses misogyny and violence towards women manipulatively. Doubly so in the last couple of episodes. The children thing didn't bother me so much, but I found the Season 2 closer to be extremely uncomfortable - only instead of feeling challenged by the discomfort, I was just pissed.
