Um...Lee/Dee.... I sure didn't see that coming. Hot like a hot thing that is hot, eh? Plus, it makes for a very funny ship name. Lee/Dee, leedee, leedah, leedoo . . . . ;D *snortle* Poor Billy. He and his suit don't have a chance against Adama's charms.

Yeah, me neither. But it'd be good for Starbuck to be jealous of someone showing an interest in Apollo, as usually it's the other way around. Yep. But it looks like they're going to let that hang there for a while, because Kara looked clueless as to Lee/Dee attraction. That she did.

Ok, anyone else thinkin' that the Cylons are good at playing the long game and that they don't care about sacrificing their own fighter ship people and that therefore the fight went just like they wanted? Also - effectively icky scene with the humans just wooping and fireing on the cylon raiders that were floating - all the exploding bloody cylon bits. They are trying to have us be more sympathetic to the cylons and I am suspicious. yep and yep It was a blood bath, and Adama's - 'take this thing to the brig' had me confused, too. Was he trying too hard to continue to believe Sharon is a 'thing'? Anyone else upset by the way they had Sharon trussed up ?

Speaking of The Beatles , 'Blackbird' lyrics were flitting around in my brain. Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free.
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to ariseDo you think the writers had that song in mind when they named the chief's new ship? ETA: And what significance to name the first blackbird ship, Laura? Speaking of Laura. And I'll soon shut up, I promise. I couldn't help draw the parallel between her cancer and the virus that was taking over the Galactica. One of the treatments to kill cancer cells is to wipe out the bone marrow and sort of reboot with stem cells. Don't know if this will be tried on Laura, but something has to be done and soon.

They are trying to have us be more sympathetic to the cylons and I am suspicious. Well, you know I believe the Cylons most likely have a long-term plan. But I'm torn as to whether or not what happened was part of their scheme--and if it was, whether that means Sharon of Nine was in on it. And I honestly presumed the Cylon raiders were being piloted by the drone robots, so I saw that whole fish-in-a-barrel scene like it was a bunch of kids smashing up their Matchbox cars. I was under the impression that the Cylon raiders were actually alive. Hmm. The whole thing just came together too nicely, didn't it? But who was playing whom?

While she does nothing but continue to prove why she should be trusted, Sharon is also a creature who has been programmed by their sworn enemy--I think they'd be very foolish and short-sighted to forget that. We know the recently deceased version of Sharon had absolutely no desire to shoot Adama, yet she literally couldn't stop herself from pulling the trigger either. As for how Adama referred to her, I'd wager he's fearful of letting himself trust her too much--of letting her into his heart, only to be betrayed by her again. Referring to her as a "thing" reminds him to keep his emotional distance.

I want her to be a good Cylon, if there can be such an animal - and not just one who is interested in just her survival. Like you said, tho, the pre-programing of the trigger in the Cylons is worrysome. It makes it hard to ever really be able to trust them.

Anyone else upset by the way they had Sharon trussed up ? **nods** It was very hard seeing Sharon chained like that - but at the same time, she's got that Cylon trigger just waiting to go off - and I think even she doesn't know when it will. I think that's a big part of Adama's reaction to her. He keeps being pulled in so many emotional directions. Not to mention Chief and Helo. It's why I was suspicious of the whole plan to use her. When she first saw the code, I was afraid that her "trigger" was being activated just by the sight of it! I think I'm also concerned because she talked about how her baby is a liability for the Cylons now, yet we know that Six thinks the baby is really important and the other Sharon was very excited about seeing that she was alive and was wondering about the baby. So either Galactica Boomer is lying about the Cylon reaction to the baby, or she just doesn't know. Frankly, both of those choices worry me. ;D

Especially since we know that Baltar plans to raise the baby as his own.

It's a subtle undercurrent, but it's definitely there. Meanwhile, did you see that Ensign Ro apparently got one hell of a promotion? 'Cause she's an admiral now. Where the heck did those new characters come from? I can't believe that the finale is next week already. Only 10 episodes? WTF? This is what I'm sayin'. I mean, not to quibble, but the plot didn't actually move very damn far this season. And now they're gonna call it done until next season? Not happy, me.

That song is about the civil rights struggle here in the U.S...just musing "out loud"...if they did have it in mind, why? Also...I'm a little disappointed in the "terminal breast cancer" plot, just because...well, HOW far into the future are these people, and they can't diagnose and treat cancer any better than we can now?

So, my view of the Cylon Attack of the Week is this: the Cylons never had any intention of destroying Galactica. They want Boomer and the baby where they are, and if anything they're giving Boomer chances to prove herself yet more to the crew, so they'll believe her when push really does come to shove.
And I think she knows it.

I think their phrasing might be a little deceptive, 'cause it's my understanding that new episodes resume in January. And that those episodes are technically a part of the current season. Greg's heard the same thing as well. So who the hell knows.
