Remember that time the Pequod met another ship that wouldn't let anybody board because they had some sort of plague and Starbuck was so pissed because he knew the other first mate and they were just mad at each other on principle? In my heart I believe it is because both first mates were clairvoyant and hated each other's guts about it.
Starbuck: wait u said this ship is the Jearum? Is the mate named Gabriel?
Stubb (yelling): HEY JEARUM WHO'S YOUR FIRST MATE
Captain of the Jearum: HIS NAME'S GABRIEL
Starbuck: oh my god i know that weirdo he's such a BITCH
Stubb: OUR MATE SAYS YOUR MATE IS A LITTLE BITCH
Captain of the Jearum: YEAH THAT'S CORRECT
Gabriel: hey fuck you AND FUCK YOU TOO STARBUCK I KNOW YOU'RE OVER THERE
Starbuck: YOU'RE A CHARLATAN AND I HOPE YOU GET THE POX

I started Battlestar Galactica and I think that Shepard and Starbuck would alternate between being being battle buddies and biting each other's heads off. I can see them giving each other pointers about flight and small-unit tactics. They'd get up to some bonkers Ace Combat shit and then almost come to blows on the flight deck arguing about one or the other pulling unreasonably risky maneuvers (And then Kara, whose recent bisexual awakening was prompted by a certain muscular redhead, would want to lezz out in a Viper cockpit after but Shep would be very profressional about it and insist they move their hand stuff to a maintenance closet at least).
I'm pretty sure Apollo and Garrus would become fast friends, and flyboy would fit right in aboard the SSV Daddy Issues SR2 lol. Evil Bashir is exactly the kind of morally bankrupt genius that Miranda or Liara would get off on dismantling lie by lie (and gab about ethically questionable science with). Chief and Cortez bond over being physically incapable of not working while Traynor and Gaeta are talking shop over drinkies and painting each other's toes.
It's also really funny watching Tigh et al get (understandably) mad about people engaging in and enabling fraternization in the ranks, meanwhile on the Normandy most of Shepard's subordinates are actively hitting on her and literally everybody on board knows about who's fucking who within a matter of days.
Because of a potential writer's strike, the mid-season 4 episode of Battlestar Galactica, "Revelation", was written such that it could serve as a finale if need be.
Having just finished the series, I wish it had been.
"Revelation" is not a great episode, but it is a good one. Throughout the series, Humans and Cylons refuse to see the humanity (in broad strokes) of each other. Cylon were enslaved (I think, the show itself doesn't dwell on their backstory and I haven't seen Caprica) and rebelled through war and a surprise attack which killed billions of humans. Because of this, Cylons think the violence is core to human nature while human think Cylons are all programmed to be treacherous and that their feelings are fake. Both side distrust each other, and it's only in that episode that a comprise is found. Lee make a lame speech about the cycle of violence, both side accept an alliance and then...
... and then none of that mattered because the action of the past destroy any hope of the present. All of this had happened before, all this will happen again.
It would have been a bleak ending, very fitting for the show, and unfortunately very true to life. "The past is never dead. It's not even past." wrote William Faulkner. Something awful happened, and the world became worst. Nothing can be done.
Instead, the actual final, "Daybreak", embrace what Gaius Baltar has been saying all season: Only God can give a clean slate. By trusting a higher power, humans and Cylons are born anew and can start over. It is the miracles of the divines that made this ending possible (I guess that make Starbuck the Christ).
The one drawback to my suggestion is that ending the show with "Revelation" would have left many question unanswered, but frankly, after watching the explanation, I consider this a plus.
