Don’t get me wrong, I love this show. I think the season and I started off on the wrong foot when I had to endure seemingly endless episodes of Lee in a fat suit and Adama sporting a stache. It’s still by far one of the best shows on TV, but the season thus far has been chock full of filler, and I’m not talking about a delicious, sugary cream puff center -- it’s been more like that “soy” burger filler: less meat, more crap.
I’ve been mulling over three things and wondering why we haven’t gotten any clues yet this season: Who are the five other cylon models?? Are they sleepers? Why don’t they walk around with the seven others on the ship, or on New Caprica?
We know there’s something very special about the hybrid baby, Hera… any hints? Where is she? Tease us, please! And finally… where the frack is Earth? I guess that one will be left to some sort of finale. It’s kinda a big deal.
Where did we leave off?? Oh yeah, everyone’s sort of safe aboard the Galactica. I’m not sure which civilian ships made it. Everyone only cares about Galactica anyway. That really sucks, because I would make my way to Cloud Nine, pronto. That ship looked sweet, plus that’s where everyone went, all hooched up, to get drunk and laid. Morale amongst the remaining citizens/soldiers will be VERY low if that ship didn’t make it.
Back on Galactica a secret group, headed by the most damaged of damaged goods -- Col. Tigh -- put those who served under the cylons on trial for crimes against humanity. I wouldn’t so much say that they all got fair trials, but they were definitely speedy. Most had the same ending: one way ticket into space city. Gaeta was finally spared after drawn out debate on whether he was or wasn’t the secret informant to the humans. He saved everyone’s butt, they should be praising him, but no one would even sit with him at the lunch table – it’s not like he slept with his recently paralyzed-quarterback-boyfriend’s best friend or anything like that – give the guy a break, this isn’t high school! Soon, Gaeta’s rep was polished and the secret group disbanded once newly (again) President Roslin caught wind of it.
Galactica finds out that Gaius Baltar is alive and still being a dick. Somehow, on board a cylon ship, he manages to go from a suspected and tortured cylon traitor to the meat in a cylon sandwich. It is now proven without a doubt (as if anyone had any doubts) that cylons were created by men. How else can you explain the reason why two hot cylon/humans would make Baltar the meat of their toaster sandwich? Baltar’s back to helping the cylons of course, using his knowledge to beat the humans in the race to Earth. What a dick. He’s also is beginning to wonder if he’s a cylon himself. That would be a little too obvious, and I’m really hoping he isn’t because I don’t want to see him resurrected again… and again… and again… you get my point. He’s little and hairy and bothers me.
Yuck.
Starbuck is being a first-class douchebag. Yeah, I know, she had a tough time on New Caprica… boohoo. Granted, being imprisoned by a psychotic obsessive cylon wouldn’t be my idea of a cool existence -- she had a freakin’ sweet condo, dinner every night, and a man who came home to her every night! Lots of woman would dream of that sort of thing...
Everyone else had to suffer through coughing up dustballs, living in crappy tents, and doing their business on the barren land that lacked plentiful shrubbery. Suck it up Starbuck. You have the hottest husband, you didn’t loose an eye, kill your spouse, and you got to poop in a pot. Instead of focusing on the positive, she’s got a restaurant-style tortilla chip on her shoulder, leaves her husband and is a general bitch to everyone.

I thought the season was pretty good. Albeit, they didnt really move the story along, but I also watch Lost so I'm used to it. Last week's episode, I thought, was awesome. I wont say too much because maybe you're recapping it later? (please?) and the premire of the next season looks great. How can dee forget she was once the object of billy's affetion!? stand up for yourself girl!! you got it!!
I somehow missed when the impropbable pairing of Gaius and Six turned into the improbable threesome of Gaius and Six and Zeena. how did that come to pass?

Didn't Gina (a Six) blow up Cloud Nine last season? I was sad to see it go...

Gaius can be the meat in my sandwich any time! i seriously love Gaius, he is my favorite character. what can i say--i have a thing for deeply damaged men--especially if they are little and hairy.
i'm pretty sure Gina blew up Cloud 9--which really bothers me because now they have no place to relax and unwind after taking a nice walk in the fake sun. and by relax and unwind i mean get drunk and hire prostitutes.
Helo is extremely hot and that makes him important.
i cannot tell you how much i love Donnie Darko, but its almost as much as i love Buffy--although i think BSG is a better show--add some space vampires and it would be perfect.

Yeah, Cloud 9 is toast. It was the nuclear bomb explosion that led the Cylons to New Caprica in the final ep of Season 2. But hey, there's always the access passages where Chief used to diddle Boomer...
