It succeeded on many levels. It was a western soap opera and a sci-fi show. It was about a group of misfits who formed a sort of family and stood up for each other. It was about a group of underdogs who fought for a living against an oppressive regime. It was about a bunch of thieves who, unlike the non-thieves, still had a code of honor.
But the best things about it, IMHO, were the way you could empathize with the characters, and the great dialog. The clip of Wash playing with his dino toys is just one example of many.

I had no idea the Marines were responsible for digging the holes for the two oceans that separate us from the rest of the world. Thank you so much!
