See, I think that BSG had four lead - Laura, Adama, Lee and Kara and three supporting characters in Baltar (because he kind of played the villain too), Six and Boomer. Then you get Helo, Dee, Gaeta, Tigh, etc., as...recurring even though they recur more often than normal recurring characters. I do get that it was a very ensembly set up though that got far more so as the show progressed, which I liked about it. But I still insist Laura was a lead!

MY STAR WARS IS ALWAYS SHOWING SOMETIMES YOU'RE JUST NOT LOOKING HARD ENOUGH! PLUS I THINK MAYBE STAR WARS OUGHT COUNT AS A DRAMA.

...okay not even I believe that one.

Dramas are stressful! It's so much harder watching bad shit happen to people when it's NOT HAPPENING IN SPACE.

(that story can never be recced enough!)
