This week, we got the answer to a question that I believe almost nobody cared about: "Why did Lee Adama want to die?" Hey, we're not denying that it is tough having to deal with the responsibility of having to protect nearly 50,000 people from a possible death from the Cylons every day, but if you wanted to die that badly, there are ways to do it. Maybe with a little initiative Apollo could finish the job and save us his entire "I'm not like my father" attitude that all of us have to suffer through each week.

Anyway, as the episode opens, lee is pointing his gun at some random black guy. Now, not to get off on a rant, but I caught some episodes of the original Battlestar Galactica series this morning, and about half way through my grapefruit, I realized that this Battlestar Galactica has fewer regular black characters than the original. In the original, Boomer was a black guy, and now Boomer is a hot Asian Cylon (as an aside, while driving Sunset this past weekend, I saw Grace Park eating at a restaurant. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to pull over and stalk, but you know I wanted to). I'm not really complaining about that change, but in the first series, Colonel Tigh was black. Now he's white, and while I don't think it matters that much, couldn't they have found a black guy to do everything this current guy is? You can't tell me that Danny Glover or Yaphet Kotto would have turned it down. I guess we have added Dualla, who is also hot, and that one religious lady that got blowed up, but you think they could have fit another one in there somewhere.
