You are right about Kara, but I think that’s exactly why we love her!!

I think one of the characters missing here is Helo. He is one character who is not afraid of what others might think as long as his own conscience is clear. Marries Athena, has a child with her, Kills an officer aboard Pegasus for the woman (cylon) he loves, kills the cylons when he hears of the plot to annihilate the entire race because of his convictions, helps creates the stealth fighter and is father to the mitochondrial eve what more do you need?

I find Laura Roslin very annoying, i find myself willing her to shut up and leave the screen, her monotone voice, and dull poker face drive me to boredom, i find Gaius Baltar and Number 6, the most entertaining, really i find the cylon characters far most interesting then the good guys.

Kara Thrace is number 2??? Ugghhh! She’s the most annoying character in the whole series. She is arrogant, immoral, careless, irrational, and worst of all… impulsive. She never stops to think her actions through, which most of the time consist of nothing more than instinctual reflexes. She’s nothing more than an animal. Which, I suppose, allows her to excel as a pilot. Her competitive nature is admirable, but her other shortcomings outweigh whatever little good there is.

Wrong. She falls in love with Adama, have you not seen the entire series?
She’s a major part of the story. Perhaps you’re just disgruntled with the writing.
Can’t quite figure out your logic.

Laura Roslin is not only an annoying character but is also poorly acted out. Did you notice that her facial expression never really changes? She always has that same disingenious and condescending smile, she moves her eyes without turning her head and takes her glasses off from time to time in a cliche attempt to be emphatic. That sums up the acting. Her role is also very inconsistent. I got the sense that at the outset they tried to set her up as a very principled character on the show, but she turned out to be more of a cold-blooded utilitarian…..with bizarre spiritual tendencies. What the…? Most annoying character on that show for sure.

Nice list but when you add up everything Gaius is obviously the #1. The talent behind the role is staggering.
I loved his up and downs, especially the moments caught in unusual acts of pleasure.
I loved when they gave him Ibogaine (although they don’t say it, its similar in some ways). Very psychedelic that is how it is.

Uggh… I think Starbuck is so, so annoying starting with season 3. I enjoyed Balter’s scenes most.

I was able too handle how annoying laura roslin in the first 3 seasons.

But come the 4th season she is so annoying I wish I knew where she lived so i could slap her in the face and swear at her for ruining one of the best sci fi series ever with her presence. Its so annoying that someone doesn’t punch her right in the mouth at some point in the series and shut her f’king mouth up.

There is no way a harpy of a woman could scream the shit she says for that long and not have someone try too get her too shut her fucking trap.

I wouldn’t even put Lee in the top 15. I’ve hated Roslin at points but the acting was so superb that I always saw her point and even when I disliked her, I was intrigued by her. Lee had promise but man….was he self-righteous and boring. Maybe in the hands of a stronger actor, the character could have been interesting.

Laura Roslin is one of the most annoying characters in this show. Everyone applauds her for grudgingly accepting the role of President and preserving democratic ideals, but that isn’t the case. She’s nothing more than a plot device. At first, she’s overwhelmed by the pressures of the office as well as her impending death from cancer, then she starts to hallucinate and–after one talk with the priestess–immediately turns into she-Moses. The rest of the time, she just throws out Hallmark one-liners and precipitates conflicts which Adama has to resolve. Her only purpose is to spout civil rights jargon and mess things up with her drug-induced paranoia and poor planning skills.

The only thing that could have saved this character would be the revelation of her as a Cylon, at which point she would be thrown out the airlock.

Dee is boredom re-imagined. ;)

Thank GOD Dee waasnt mentioned in this list. Ive seem people talk about how she was such a great character, and I almost gag. She was a complete waste of space. First, it seemed like she was this caring girl who fell in love with the Presidents assistant, sweet little love story. But then, FOR NO REASON AT ALL (except to backhandedly create more storylines for Lee) she DUMPS him out of nowhere – falls in love with Lee and proceeds to do nothing but kinda smile and be ‘sweet’. Then Lee, realising that she is in fact devoid of … anything of interest – completely loses intrest in her. Then she is like all… ‘you wronged me! and Im gonna be all stoic about it!’ Then, she like… kills herself. Of the entire show, Dee was the most useless element and (no disrespect to the actress) the show would have been better off without her sidetracking storylines which ment nothing to anybody and, with every second, relegated the awesome “What the hell is going on with(the quite awesome and badass) Balthar, is he mad or is he somehow connected to God… or has he a computer chip in his head controlling him” storyline with which the show became epicly wonderful. (Yes, I also think the Adama/Roslyn storyline has taken away from what made the show really great – Balthar. Im done.
