13thcolonySo what did everyone think?
I've been wondering: what did Starbuck use to kill Leoben (the first time)? It looked like an ice pick, but with 2 prongs.
Doesn't Leoben know that Starbuck is married? Wouldn't trying to seduce her mean he's trying to lead her to sin (adultery)?
D'anna calls Baltar's Six "Caprica" -- interesting touch.
Ellen may have some redeeming qualities after all. She obviously does not enjoy whoring herself out to the Cylons, but she does it to get her husband back. She is misguided into thinking that she can trust the Cylons to do anything, and it looked like she's going to betray them in order to save Tigh from being taken away.
Kat as CAG, Helo as XO - cool. It's weird that everyone is so out of their element though. The show has really gone in a strange direction. The writers and producers have taken a big chance on this. Now, I stay away from spoilerage, but I have heard that maybe they only stay on New Caprica for a few more episodes--by which time we would return everyone to their usual positions on Galactica (Starbuck in the cockpit, Chief on the deck, etc.), but the interpersonal relationships would still be all different.
It was nice to see the president's aide again. I like her.
Why does Baltar back out of the graduation ceremony? Did someone tip him off?
Isn't their whole "secret code" a little transparent? Wouldn't the Cylons be watching Gaeta's every move? Why couldn't they just check the drawer instead of watching for the upside-down food dish? Does anyone ever feed that poor dog? :)
If the Cylons really do think that the holocaust was a mistake, why don't they just leave the remaining humans alone? Why all the heavy-handed tactics (curfews, centuriouns)? Is it because they think they need to "convert" them to monotheism? Why the strong desire to "work together" and build some brave new world? They Cylons really are bizzare creatures--they are so religious and yet they killed billions of people, think it's ok to torture people, think it's ok to steal Starbuck's ovary, etc, etc. When you get down to it they're even more screwed up than the humans.

Date: 2006-10-10 05:23 am (UTC)I'm not sure what my point is except that the Crusade terminology has come to mean essentially that one side was bad in behaviour and started it (European) and the otherside was peaceful and didn't do anything (Arabic/Persian/etc; all the middle easterners) which is, well, entirely not true. So I dislike/avoid the term as example. La la la.
