Fun, yes, but it is a soul crushing kind of fun. And as I was human in #27 I know that feeling; but we had a good run, despite the almost sure loss. For me, BSG shines the brightest when there is tension. In the situations where it gets lopsided this tension disappears.
I agree with a lot of what has been said above. The tricky thing with removing any uncertainty is that it removes a core part of the game, part of which it the tension I find fun. I am not sure there is any good way to fix it that doesn’t cause more problems than it solves.
