Oh, and did anyone notice Starbuck was twirling her pen the same way Val Kilmer did at a briefing in Top Gun?

So, I was just saying to Onjel that I wonder if Adama's visions of his wife are actually part of a memory house? I first heard about them from Foucault's Pendulum and Hannibal, and both of them refer to them as "memory castles" which is why I used that word. Mine looks vaguely like it was designed by mad king Ludwig. On one of his bad days.

Why don't Tyrol and Cally shove some tool into the breach, and melt some plastic around it for a sealant? Jesus, it's not rocket science, it's plumbing.
Crap, no, they aren't gonna do a vacuum catch, are they? I know you can survive around a minute in full vacuum, but it's HARD on the body...
"You're gonna do WHAT?!"
So there's repressurization time to fill the raptor back up with air after they make it IN, even...
God, this is brainless engineering.
Well, kids, pick your godparents and make a jump for it.
And he picked a set. But SHE doesn't like them. Christ...Pilot is going to be a prestige thing in a situation like this, even if you don't like it, Cally: Pilots are your reason for existence.
So Cally gets to pick the godparents. *shrug* they need counseling.
Aw! because he wanted to have her with him!!! how sweet!

As poignant and horrific as the Tyrol/Callie thing is, the bad CGI fog around their mouths is totally distracting me. Couldn't they have just made the room cold in reality?

My profuse apologies—I completely missed your mention.

I am moving this post over here: I am watching Battlestar Galactica . . . but . . . it's only the 2nd ep I've ever seen and I'm not following that well. Am I really to believe that Adama is Lee's father? There is a certain lack of family resemblance, though they are both attractive in their own (very very different) ways. Except Lee is , and Adama, not so much. I guess Mom musta been quite the looker. This is quite the amazing and desperate rescue plan they've got going here . . . I suppose I should be over in the BSG thread . . .

Oh fer.. the frimping DOORS blow off?! with no tether or anything? Jesus. The engineers need to be flogged.
NICE catch..
Daddy-son issues. Ah, Adama left HIS wife, because she was a raving loonball abusive mommy.
So that's one of the things he and Starbuck have in common..
And he's having a fight with the woman in his head.
NavyMillitary wife.. it's a hard-ass life.
Wonder what Lee is thinking of all this internal dialogue as Daddy stares straight ahead.
Sounds like he accepted it, if he buggered off on her.
Nooooo, bad logic, Bill. You can be a complete idiot in your personal life and do wise and proper things in your professional life. Don't let that brain avatar of her pull that guilt crap on you.
"I believe you. I just don't think she ever loved you"
*sigh* yeah, that's always fun to know about your parents.

Wait. Lee has a brother? Where is he? Zach is long-dead: Starbuck(Kara) was his flight instructor and fiancee, and she cleared him for full pilot status when he was a complete thumb-fingered flying dip: thus, he killed himself on a flight mission very early in his career.

Fire Serpent ad - yep, got the DVR set to grab that. On one of Sci-Fi's "all reptiles, all the time" days, it looks like.
Well, if he's not a Cylon, then all the things she's saying are either: A) things she actually said at one point, like he's replaying conversations OR B) perhaps more interestingly, are things he thinks to himself, or hides from himself by mentally having them come from her.
Laura and Bill, sittin' in a tree, K I S S I N G . . . nice flirting there, you guys.
The idea of putting Lee in charge of the legal committee is interesting. Also interesting is the way she describes why choose him "need someone who actually knows the difference between right and wrong".
So, of course we see Lee in a position of authority, chewing out the pilots. (**snicker** Helo moving away from the guy with the "weirdest rash" was funny). Apollo always looks like he's expecting to get yelled at everytime his dad walks up to him.
