Where Sci-fi and Gothic Romance Meet

No, not in BtVS.  In my head.  

Last night I watched Part II of Jane Eyre and Battlestar Gallactica.  I enjoyed the first greatly, and was more or less "eh" on the second.  It wasn't until reading some of the blogs this morning that I realized that there were some strange similarities about these radically different shows (and reasons why I enjoyed one more than the other).

Both shows dealt with infidelity, passion vs. repression of personal desire, and generally screwed-up/co-dependent relationships.
