Oh, Bagelstar. I want you with cream cheese.

Tori, Sam, and Saul are Cylons.

Starbuck is totally on the radio. And in the ship.

TKMom: Dude, why is Lee such a drama queen?
That said, I actually enjoyed Lee's arc this ep, because I didn't feel like the writers were trying to make me take his side or sympathize. He was just being Lee, and that's fine with me, as long as I don't feel people are asking me to stroke him.

The Saul/Six scene was the shit.

With the Lee/Bill strife and Roslin going all cancerous, it feels like the show was trying to get back to some of its beginnings.

WHERE IS SHARON? WHERE? WHERE?

Who was shipping Roslin/Tori so hard, for a moment there? WHO?

Overall, I'm actually ambivalent about this ep. I still feel that BSG is jerking my chain with the "They have a plan" line, that things won't get resolved, that they are bound to go tits over JJ Abrams from here on out and I will be stuck watching this show even when I really don't want to any more. For the most part nothing happened here, just like nothing's been happening forever (even Starbuck dying didn't feel like anything happening, because most of us guess she's coming back, which means we don't know any more than we did before!) I liked parts and found other parts boring, but I am still cautiously optimistic we may find out something. Anything. And maybe see Sharon?

Was that dream!Hera how big Hera is supposed to be in BSG!reality, 'cause she looked awful big.

Did Tory hear the music? Tigh and Sam explicitly did, but I'm not sure about Tory. She certainly was acting very weird, though.

For some reason I trust this show a humongous amount, and have faith that it will pull through next week something massive. That said, it would be nice if it were awesome at times other than during season bookends. I've recently concluded that this show shouldn't HAVE mid-season episodes. It doesn't do so well with anything resembling fillers.

That's a good point about Lee. I don't particularly like him, but the show isn't asking me to, so it's not a problem. I hadn't thought of it like that, but it's true. Well played, show.

I was certain she did, for a moment when Roslin was addressing the press about her cancer. Might've dreamed it, though.

I don't have faith! I wish I could. But I'm trying to remain optimistic, too!

The thing is, I *liked* most of the filler eps in S1 and 2.

Oh yeah, and about Lee:

I liked him at first. I thought his starry eyed idealism was a pretty cool counter to Roslin's and Papadama's realism. But eventually, the fact that he needed to make such a big show about it, be so selfish about it, make it All About Him, put me off of him. But the thing is, I feel that's realistic, and I appreciate that realism, those flaws. Even if I started disliking him as a person, I appreciate his function as a character.

But as soon as these flaws started really emerging I felt like the show was trying to make me take his side, instead of see him for the self centered (albeit yes, idealist) brat he was being. I dislike that intensely, when a show/book/story is pushing my sympathy for a character/issue/side with which I disagree. I'd prefer the decision be left to myself, thanks. I felt like last week they expected us to see Lee's point and Feel His Manpain. This week, I felt much more like they were just showing us both sides of the situation, which I much prefer. I can actually see Lee's point, and actually even sort of agree with where he's coming from, while still thinking he's being selfish, idiotic, and a bastard. *That* kinda character makes me happy.
