;o)

I'll be back in a bit to answer about BSG as I've got to send off some work stuff first.
Just wanted to let you know I saw this.

"Sometimes I think it's almost as good as BTVS!"
**Almost, yes.

I'm with you on the "crimes against humanity" repurcussions.
I agree about the risk of humanity losing a part of it's essence and what it strives to be as a collective consciousness.

I think Roslin just wants the mistake corrected, as you've mentioned. She thinks the threat will end if the Cylons are obliterated.
Why can't she see it just won't be that easy?
I always have trouble with folks in authority who are so shortsighted they don't consider what may happen if a sweeping life-altering choice is made for the "benefit" of others. Or maybe they do consider it and just don't care.
Scary.
Drastic times call for drastic measures, that's true...but the ramifications of destroying an entire race in the guise of doing what is best for humanity won't sit well once humans only have each other to turn on and blame for all their troubles.
At this point, none in higher rank (Lee, Roslin...even Adama, though he's been pretty quick to sit back and wash his hands, letting Roslin suck it up and shoulder the blame) seem to recognize that the Cylon race plays a huge part in humans striving to be the best they can be.
Life is more precious to us when we think it may be taken away at any moment.
Why can't they see that humans will eventually turn on each other if they don't have the Cylons to focus on. How can humanity be so great and yet so foolish?
Ah, good stuff.



Where else on T.V. can we find such engaging characters and story arcs? Since the Buffyverse, that is.
:o)

And on a Baltar note...I must say wow. Just...wow.
I could go on about his narcissism but it has continually proven to be his life-saver. Why stop now?
And D'eana with the torture device probing his ear while he's basically getting off on (literally) loving himself...priceless.

That man could talk his way out of anything...and has!

One more very important thing.
Helo is of the hunky.
heh.

In a totally different way, of course !

A friend on Lj, aycheb, described him better than I could:

He has the look of one of those Easter Island statues, he's a rock, a bedrock, a Peter on which the church is built. And I don't think it's just that he loves Sharon, more he's able to love Sharon because he has that innate decency, that big, unshowy goodness which had him giving Baltar his place on the shuttle back in the mini-series.
