Quote o' the week/month/season:

Some scattered thoughts on BSG Season 2.5, now that I'm done. Spoilers ahead. Cross-posted at Geek Rebellion.
- The finale was pretty sweet. I dug the jump ahead a year. It was a nice shake-up to the "on the run" scenario that encompassed the first two years.
- Just when I was starting to develop a smidge of sympathy for Baltar, he turns into the worst president you could imagine. That guy is all groin. So, Gada (sp?) is his aide now? Interesting.
- It seems like something happened between Starbuck and Apollo that really put their relationship on the deep freeze. I'm assuming it was something more than Starbuck being rude to Apollo about D.
- Either Apollo put on some real weight for the scenes one year in the future or they did some good prosthetics.
- They sure got complacent after a year of no Cylons. I like that the fleet was so ill-prepared that they had to jump away. Good dramatic tension.
- So, Apollo puts on some weight and doesn't shave everyday and his dad grows a mustache. It's funny the things that can be done to show that a year has passed.
- New Caprica City looks like a little slice of gray heaven. I suppose it's better than living on a ship, but not by much.
- I really dig the Dean Stockwell Cylon. Cool character and well-acted.
- Now I'm really not sure what the Cylon's plan is. Why are they just occupying New Caprica? What's their goal?
- So, the Chief and Callie are having a baby, eh? Good for them.
- Now, it's on to the webisodes and the terrible wait until Sci-Fi starts at the beginning of Season 3 in a couple weeks.

Yes! Just in time.... well, we have a few weeks yet for s3 reruns still, and it only takes about 1/2 hour to watch all the wevisodes.
This time I'm recording all of season 3 gorramit!
It's Felix "Gaeta" ;)
It seems like something happened between Starbuck and Apollo that really put their relationship on the deep freeze.
They've had a long building sexual tension, and also a strangely knit family history. You do remember when they "hooked up" back in season one or whenever that was. This 'something' has just been building, and now that Kara is traveling light years to save Anders, there is this mixed emotion for both Lee and Kara.. until Anders comes back - at that point, Kara is all about Anders, and Lee goes with Dee. This whole love quadrangle just builds up that much more in the coming season.
Now I'm really not sure what the Cylon's plan is.
LOL - Well obviously the fleet doesn't either. See, that's just it. The Cylons are alien in thinking, even though they were created by us, they obviously have developed their own twisted perspectives that don't mesh with humans. I think you're supposed to wonder about the Cylons at this point. Some things come up later that are pretty neat about the Cylons being on the same path as the humans. The fact that the Cylons are seeking revenge on the humans is only a part of the story!
