I tried sooo hard to watch BSG on Sunday night, but I only got through the previous scenes. I woke up to see some dude in sunglasses and thought I was hallucinating... thanks NyQuil! It was even harder to stay out of the forum on Monday and Tuesday.
There's nothing like being sick at work and feeling so crappy on the inside, but thinking that you may be pulling off a semi-healthy exterior. Until that a-hole co-worker comes up and says, "Yeah, you don't look so good," with that distorted-looking sneer, like the flu has taken solid form and is growing out your forehead. Thanks for making me feel a trillion times worse -- as if I thought I looked like Heidi Klum with a bit of a stuffy nose - I'm not that heavily medicated. Anyway, the flu sucks, but BSG doesn't... Monday I tried coming home and putting it on... nope, I was out before the theme music.
So here I am, a couple of days later - lots of pills popped, fluid drank, and soup-consumed -- I've mustered up the strength to watch the latest episode and write a few words about it. I'm hoping this week's episode is just as nasty (nasty good, not nasty bad) as last week's and I'm crossing my fingers about the Starbuck situation. I think we're mostly in agreement that Starbuck cannot be dead. Hopefully, she's just imprisoned by Leoben again on some cylon ship. Sucky for her, good for us... what's in store this week Galactica? Let's take a look...
The episode opens with Admiral Adama mourning Starbuck. Her thick file is opened and he's rummaging through award citations and disciplinary notices with a fatherly, reminiscent grin. He opens a tear-jerker of a card from her to him... well, actually if she were alive it would be funnier than any Hallmark card available in the fleet, but in her death, the vivacious Starbuck sporting an Adama 'stache and spectacles is just down-right depressing. Ugh, so sad.
Meanwhile, President Roslin is picking names out of a bowl for the Judge's tribunal in Baltar's trial. I'm hoping that she's not going to try any funny business with this one because we know from past experience that she's not too good at rigging things. But whose name does she happen to pull?? Admiral Adama, an ally and very convenient voice to have on the tribunal. The viewer didn't see the actual name, so it's possible that Roslin has a few tricks up her sleeve and improved her cheating game.
Over at Club Galactica - or is it just the hangar - Anders is drunk as a skunk, as any good grieving husband would be. He's a very coordinated drunk, somehow managing to repeatedly flip a coin while straddling a viper and ranting. I can only do one of those things at a time sober, never mind drunk.
Elsewhere on Galactica, Starbuck's (sometimes) friend and (part-time) ex-lover is carrying out her final wishes of placing her pic next to Cat's in the Hallway of Death. Before he could do the task, someone calls him in to diffuse the Ander situation. Can't you leave a grieving drunk alone to flip a coin on a viper? Is this a sign that Starbuck's still alive? He hasn't placed her pic in the final resting place yet - okay, I'm reaching, I know, I know...
RIP?
Why wouldn't they grab someone other than the dude, who at one point was boinking (sorry, just watched Road Trip) Ander's wife, to diffuse the situation? You know rumors are rampant onboard, everybody has to know everybody's business - Seelix looks like a gossip whore. Anyway, just the guy Anders wants to see comes to his aid. I don't know how much help Lee actually was because Anders wound up flat on his face. Poor Sam. I really hope he's not a cylon because I like him too much... which probably means he is... damn you, BSG writers, how you tug at my heart stings.
Even crank-tacular Col. Tigh misses Starbuck. He breaks the news to an unknowing Adama that he's been selected as 1/5 of the Judge's tribunal. I guess Adama didn't get the memo...

Good recap. I thought the same thing when she smelled the pen...could not have smelled nice! There's def. something up with this new attorney, sunglassses aside. I betting he's not a cylon though...too obvious and I feel like since they've kept the final 5 such a mystery, they have to be people we've met in the past.

Being a former Public Defender may make me biased, but maybe sunglasses is just a good attorney? No, of courses not. This guy knows too much about all the main players to not be hiding a secret.
