BSG S3 3x01 & 3x02 thoughts...
Well, well, well.
Well.
Loved the Kara thread; thought playing the munchkin was an unbearably apt and cruel thing to do. Am interested in where Leoben gets his hardon for Kara – Stockholm Syndrome? I don’t get the little hand hold at the end – this is not the act of a woman who has killed Leoben five times in a row over four months.
*loved* Sharon and Adama. Loved it.
Not too keen on Lee. He is a deeply moral man and for him to just give up and be someone who can only function when he has a war doesn’t do justice to the person I thought he was.
Love Tigh, he’s hard and obsessed and utterly focussed. I don’t like him as a person but the character is great.
Interested in the Cylon take on what their mission is. It sounds like Boomer and Six managed to pitch the end of immediate hostilities but didn’t in any way manage to convey a vision where humans and Cylons actually talk to each other. The Cylons turned up as an invading force and seem to have no concept of humans as potential equals. In which case what on earth are they trying to achieve?
Is the vision of human/Cylon relations where humans behave like Centurions?
They need Adama desperately.
Feel a lot of the war commentary is a bit on the cheap side. We already know this, guys, we’ve watched the Americans doing it for years. We know people are stupid and pretty and short-sighted and that it doesn’t work.
Loved the Roslyn/Zarek exchange

Re: Comments on Comments
As people, the Cylons are very young and represent a wide range of human behaviours. What I see in Leoben is him getting so hooked on Starbuck's response to him in Flesh and Bone that he has fixated on her.
He's recognised there was a connection and has translated that in his head to there HAVING to be a connection now and always. Ironically, in trying to force it on her he's denying her personhood in exactly the same way she did, right down to the psychological torture.
Darn I love this show.

In their youth they are still quite primal. Denying the Kara's personhood goes beyond Leobuck. In ordering the execution they don't see them as people but as things. At any moment, they could go back to the original plan and kill them all. Cavil's suggestion that reducing the human numbers to make them more manageable is scary.
Human's are things, pets even, and some of us
Leoben really love our pets.
I totally love this show too, as well as this conversation.
