It does many things differently, but it can't be denied that they're trying to reach the same viewers (many of whom promptly turned the set off after an episode of BSG ended).

Yeah, I think that's why I didn't end up liking SGU. I love SG-1 and SGA but they were fun, light-hearted sci-fi shows and SGU is trying to be too dark and too much like a sci-fi soap-opera. I didn't like BSG for the same reasons.
