[QUOTE]Originally posted by bX: [QB] Me too FWIW. I guess I'm getting a little sick of this compulsive fixation the Cylons have with humans without at least a little more explanation about why or how this is. Like, f'rinstance, what compels Leoben to get recycled 5 times in order to make Starbuck his ladyfriend in his private crazy min/max security compound. Is it fatherhood? Because I wasn't getting fatherhood. Is it madness? That's so boring. I think around the second or third time I got stabbed in the throat with a fork I'd start to realize that maybe she isn't just playing hard-to-get. Basically in order for him to be (or possibly be) an evil, philosiphizing bad-guy, I need to know he really does have a nefarious plan (without necessarily knowing what it is) because otherwise yeah it's sort of annoying to have to watch Kara cry over her maybe daughter when I could be watching Roslin (I think it was Joss Whedon who called her President Stands With Fist) be ice-water veined/naive optimist lady about terrorism. Like MinutiaeMan, I'm also having some general issues with the internal dynamics of Cylon politics. We go from lambasting Caprica Six for her being part of the first Cylon on Cylon violence to shooting her in the head. Where I'd sort of had the impression that the other skin-jobs (from [i]Bladerunner[/i] n'est pas?) looked to her for leadership or wisdom or something. Anyway forcing Baltar to sign the death warrants is a very cool thing and not only because, hey, multiple Tricia Helfers (imaginary and otherwise), Grace Parks and Lucy Lawlesses. I do REALLY like Dean Stockwell, he is terrific in this. His manipulation of Ellen Tigh is nice and his nihilistic priest thing is always fun. Plus dude knows how to work a hat. I still have a hard time believing that the humans made so little progress in their year and a half on New Caprica. Did those trees in the canyon in which the raptors landed grown since planetfall? Because humans are pretty good at turning trees into all sorts of things, even with primitive tools never mind humans with lasers and space-ships. So despite the above whingings, I did enjoy this two-parter. I guess maybe I'd built it up too much. The in your face, on the nose Iraq stuff was distracting in much the same way as the abortion issue was earlier in the season and were a general let-down for me. Still, a frakkin' good show.
