This was an awesome second episode and really makes me hopeful for the series. It actually was as good as (at least) the first.
I hate That Boomer is a Cylon - but if she is - why is she resisting it? Very interesting here. Did the Cylons program her as a human TOO well? And if she's human, why was she having such difficulty seeing and saying what was on the monitor when she found water?
Are we supposed to like Starbuck? Cause I'm not there yet.
;D

Cause I'm not there yet. ;D Responded to your first question on the other thread without thinking; but, to paraphrase, only the writers know for now. Starbuck is a tough read right now. She doesn't particularly fit the mold of the original beyond the surface motivations that survived the character's re-imagining. Overall, I like her. She reminds me of some of the best qualities that have existed in my prior relationships. That and she's kinda cute  |

The push and pull between them, being friends while so different, each simultaneously bringing out the best and the worst of each of them. Lola |

Apollo was just so . . . Apollo in this one. When he's got the guy at gun point and is all . . . you're gonna tell your men to drop their guns and volunteer to earn their freedom and then . . . we'll have elections.
And the other guy is just totally flabbergasted. I love a good flabbergast.

I think he had lost all hope and really did want a blood bath. Apollo was just so.....just. Loved it. Loved it. Also loved the friction between Lee and his father. I'm going to love watching their relationship. But how about Starbuck and that older guy. (I so need to study up on names.) Some sparkage, do you think? I gotta tell you, for some reason, that's hot. And did I see some kind of relationship beginning between the president and Apollo? I like that! You go Madam president! Poor Boomer. I think she is really going to need that connection to her boyfriend in order to resist the Cylon programming. What's going to happen now that she has been ordered to stay away from him? Still very confused as to what's going on with that couple on the planet.  And the doctor and his hallucinations? Yee! Loved Billy and the crush he has on the black girl. Of course they have different philosophies -what fun would it be if they thought alike? |
