Just started Battlestar Gallactica...

I have skipped reading Eddie's post in the other thread, as I have just started the series. So far I've made it through the pilot and the first normal episode (jumping every 33 minutes). I am curious... is the entirety of this series as grim and full of dread as what I have watched? I appreciate suspense and obviously I am no Pollyanna, but it all seems a bit long on despairing at the moment. It doesn't help that the pilot was three hours long I guess, and featured the end of several worlds.
I am very interested in the philosophical/theological questions raised by what I've seen, I just don't relish sitting through five or six seasons of the futility of running from an enemy that has had 40 years to prepare its assault.
