Jane wasn't my favorite Buffy writer, but I did love "Pangs", the Thanksgiving ep. I think it was her first Buffy ep, and she had the characters down pat for her first ep.

Spike: You made a bear!
Buffy: I didn't mean too
Spike: Undo it! Undo it!

I think she did a good job with this ep given what she had to acomplish. I think you know my fellings about Madame President, so this made it extremely hard for me to pay attention. I kept turning away and then something would happen and I missed it. Same thing happened the second time I watched. Laura and Adama puppy love just doesn't float my boat.

I always enjoy Baltar. Does that say something abby normal about me? I didn't want the cylon scene to end. Someone on TWOP mentioned that Baltar has taken on the dying leader prophesy. Angel/Spike and Laura/Baltar anyone?

This was the first time I've seen Xena on BSG. I always forget it's her.

The promos we see here in the states have been giving the next week's episode in a condensed version for weeks now. Not sure if the final cylon will be revealed, but it looks like Tigh will be outed.

I have some bad news. Not sure if you know or not, but next week will be a mid-season final. We won't see the second half of the final season until next year. Yeah, I know, it sucks. But on the other hand, Dr. Who has been fabulous. I love the actress they picked to play the doctor's daughter.

I wasn't really thrilled by the episode. It has its moments but I couldn't help feeling that it was too easy. The jump-induced visions that made Laura's journey, the destruction of the hub, the final reunion...Besides I am not a big fan of Laura/Bill, it looks cheap and cliché. I was moved to tears by Saul/Ellen but Laura/Bill doesn't work for me.

I found Bill's waiting for Laura, alone in space, less convincing than Leoben doing exactly the same thing for Kara, a few weeks ago.

However I loved the Baltar/Roslin scenes from the beginning to the end. They work wonderfully together. I enjoyed the fact that after the last vision in which Laura had her "love someone" epiphany, she genuinely wanted to save Baltar and called him "Gaius". I think that the Laura/Gaius dialectics is much more interesting than the Laura/Bill romance.

And Baltar sounded more than ever like the hybrid: "don't do this to me, don't do this".

But my favourite scene ever was the Baltar/Centurion one. Priceless! I just love the Centurions.

Helo barely even blinked. In fact, I got the distinct impression he kinda does think he's married to the entire production line. This could actually be potentially fascinating, but I also got the impression they have no intention of doing anything with this, it was just a way to buddy up Helo and an eight for an ep.

I don't know...they seemed to set something up, especially now that Athena is sort of insane and in the brig. And there's the fact that Boomer escaped. I would be extremely disappointed if we didn't get a final Helo/Boomer scene some day. It must happen.

I though that line about being married to the entire cylon line by Madame President was rather cruel. She really can be heartless. I wonder how she will react when she finds who's been playing president.

But it made sense concerning her journey. She hadn't had her epiphany yet and Helo embodied, so she thought, what she was fighting against. She called him a sentimental and probably saw him as...a fool for love.

Of course eventually she herself turned into a sentimental !

In a way Elosha was her First Slayer providing the "Love is your gift" message...and it worked, she gave, forgave and loved.
