[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] I'm disappointed. We keep saying "they're not going to do so-and-so, it's too obvious" but what happewned in this ep seemed really quite obvious - or rather the word is, easy. First off, I agree that maybe Cally having to deal with the reality of her husband's identity over a longer period wouild be more interesting. But as someone said, they're probably preferring to do that between Starbuck and Anders - but that pales next to the real biggie, Adama discovering his closest and oldest friend is what he's spent his whole adult life fighting. Next, there's who they chose to use to be the Evil Final Four Member - the seductive temptress, so to speak. Why, she even look middle-eastern! Although I'm sure that wasn't a consideration, it's gonna tick a lot of boxes for the wingnut demographic (those that didn't leave in protest over the Abu Ghraib allusions, anyway). It couldn't be Anders because he's off panting after his ostensible wife, but can you imagine if the hand on that Eject button had been one of the two most popular second-tier characters in the show - Tigh, or even the Chief himself? Getting Tori to be the one is a cop-out. While on the subject of obvious/easy, wouldn't anyone faced with what Cally had discovered try to warn the authorities? Or is her immediate course of action more realistic for someone in her mental state? Not even the tiniest little bit of internal dialogue about how the Admiral would never believe the Colonel or his Chief Engineer were Cylons, or the President would never believe her Chief-of-Staff was one? I dunno, maybe it's just me. As my reaction in the past has shown, I'm very sensitive to children being in danger, and this also had a child losing its mother, a fear I've had to confront quite recently. I wonder if Zarek manipulated Apollo into revealing that leaked report, so Roslin could then say that since it's now out in the open, they can now proceed with it? What is going on in her head?
