Totally agree about BSG and looking forward to the 4th season.
I still think it'll be all about the characters. The issue #10 preview seems to make that clear. And a lot of Joss's comments about the project suggest that he does care about where the characters are now in relationship to where they were. He's just not unfolding his story very well. And he seems to have lost at least a portion of his audience as a result.
I may only conjecture, but I've got the impression that he's trying to attract his initial audience - the teenagers. By the end of the TV show characters were adult persons with adult problems and issues. In comics they are teenagers who live in a fairy tale. (A castle. Zombies, elves and gnomes. Witchcraft, levitation, dreamspace. And - evil global conspiracy. It's basically a teenager's worldview.)
Interestingly, there is a lot of young posters on Dark Horse forums: when somebody used Buffy quote "What are you, twelwe?" people were pissed off because they *are* in this age group. :)
