On the Baseship....

So is it safe to assume Baltar isn't a Cylon since he didn't catch the cyon-plague? He better be human or his character is worthless....*grumbles*

Interesting about the projection though - Head!Six said it would be important to know about...hmmm...any ideas? It certainly makes the We!Hate!Epileptics!Walls less menacing for the cylons...and still irritating as hell for us mortals. 

Baltar strangles a Six? That seemed to push it a little for me - I mean, seriously, he could have just walked away - she wasn't going to chase after him. Although it was worth the freakiness to see Gaius go from the attempts to comfort and help her to choking the life out of her.

Question: What pills were Baltar taking on New Caprica? When I saw him popping them with the booze in 2.20 I assumed he was either abusing a) some form of tranquilizers or antidepressants  - which I could see him getting a legitimate perscription for....or, b) heavy narcotics with the outright intent to get stoned fast...I ask because Gaeta's comment while going over Baltar's work to find Earth that 'at first I thought he was off his meds' makes me wonder if he was taking antipsychotics for the hallucinations. It looked like he hadn't seen Head!Six for awhile when the Cylons attacked in 2.20. But then again, the Cylons gave him his pills back and he's still hallucinating.


and Galactica....

Kara was so mean to Kasey! What a heartwrenching scene! I'm so glad she went and made friends again in the end. She should grovel to Anders next.

I really liked it when Papadama went down to the mess hall and threw down some smack. Stupid Kara and Saul - everyone likes to think that their tragedy is the worst, that anyone who tries to compare sufferings is dissing you or lessening the tragedy. Yes, you had it worse on New Caprica - when Kat said she et al had sacrificed too she wasn't aiming to diminish you but empathize. Jeesh. People.

Man, whoever wrote those admonitions towards Starbuck and Tigh - ouch, esp Kara: calling her a cancer and a malcontent, saying she's not his daughter anymore. Woah, he was pissed. Didn't work so well with Tigh though - I was seriously afraid he was going to blow his own head off when he told Adama he wouldn't see him again.

What is Tigh gonna do? He said that Sane!Tigh was dead. I hope he doesn't turn completely evil and crazed, because that would suck. More Tigh emo angst is fine - but where's it going to lead? He's so haunted by Ellen - I can't blame him for that - I think it was a big mistake to kill her: that's what you get Saul, when you listen to what the others tell you to do (ie killing Ellen): empty quarters and a mouthful of ashes. And on top of it all, he's got no more depth perception. 

Oh - and I don't like Sharon's callsign. 'Athena' - goddess of war and wisdom - is a little broad and doesn't really fit. She should have something more specific, like Prometheus. 


I'm a total comment whore - let me know what you think :)
