What's with the lack of discussion on Battlestar Galactica?
Anyway, this episode was pretty good. Not the greatest, but I was still sad to see Kat go. The more she acted like Michelle Rodriguez the more I disliked her, but I was glad someone would stand up to Starbuck. And she totally redeemed herself in the end by picking Helo as the one she wanted to save.
It's really unfair to the other cast members that Edward James Olmos gets to be such a great guy and all his mistakes are forgiven because, well, he's Admiral Adama, but others are stuck with problems like drinking (Tigh), being a bitch (Starbuck), and eating too many pork rinds (Apollo) that keep them less than perfect. But even though Adama may have started the war, he's still a god. But seriously, Adama kicks ass.
Speaking of gods, what was up with D'Anna's crazy portfolio of sketches? It reminded me of the drawings in The Ring where the kid scratches out everyone's faces and then obsessively draws those huge, black rings. I'm also glad to see that the threesomes between Baltar, D'Anna and Caprica are now nightly occurrences. If Baltar can't talk his way out of trouble, he always manages to fuck his way out.
Did anyone else think Kat and that hairy Isaac Mendez dude were two of the five unknown Cylons? I hope I wasn't the only idiot led down that path. But then again, this show breeds Communist-era panic, and every time I see a stranger, I'm convinced they're a Cylon until proven innocent.
I'm dreading next week. The final episode on Friday, with the exception of the Survivor finale, is the last show left for me before the dreaded mid-season break. And I have all my final exams the week after, and no new TV shows to reward myself with after I'm done! And God knows I'm not going to do anything outside. Blech!
