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

I worry that Zarek has just completed his redemption arc, though, and stepped in front of Roslin as the firing squad came, thus saving her at the expense of his own life. I will be cranky if that has happened, but...

That would piss me off! I don't think he's quite that self sacrificing though.

If Roslyn wasn't an utter, utter hardliner before, this will nail it. As the survivor of a mass execution order [signed by Baltar no less] she is going to have so much moral credibility she can hate the Cylons with all her icy heart.

You know, I've started to find Baltar sort of sympathetic, actually. He's so clearly in over his head and terrified of everything, you know? I mean, he has to feel so out of control. It's pitiful, in the sense of 'inspiring pity'.

Ellen Tigh is another one who's really grown on me, incidentally. I've liked her since early on, but it's only just recently that I've started actively finding her sympathetic.

Noooooo! Don't even think it!
Bad Sushi!
