Sci-Fi Friday, part two.

Dude, this sharing of actors b/w the three Friday lineup shows is getting too weird. Major Lorne! Very, very shortlived, but Major Lorne!

...I can't help wincing through all the cloying Lee/Dee scenes. Billy! Plus, the rhyming of their names hurts me. A whole month between eps, too, that's odd for this show.

It's very unfair that the Chief got to show up only for finding the girl in the container. More Tyrol, plz.

Dude, that's John Heard! Looking older and much more rotund these days.

Roslin looking at the picture of her and Billy made me all sniffly again. At least she remembers him.

I totally thought Zarek was practicing his speech in the mirror until they revealed Baltar.

As to the rest...erm. Not really sure. I loved the return to the 1st season style of storytelling, and all the Lee/Kara interaction was superb. Baltar's public backstabbing was a thing of beauty and really, Roslin, you should have seen this coming. As for the rest, I'm still stewing about it, mostly b/c it's an issue I really hate discussing b/c I can't agree with either side.

Despite the overhanging nepotism (good lord, jumping two ranks in a few days, that must be a record), I think Lee will make a good commander. His little moment of panic - "I have the con..." - was beautiful, as was the way he got over it and started making the good tactical decisions he needed to make. I felt bad for Garner, as he was obviously a good man and a good engineer who simply wasn't suited or trained for a command position. Poor Pegasus, though. Three dead commanders in as few months; if I were Lee, I'd worry.

Really, really looking forward to next week's ep. Really.

*nods lots* Yup, pretty much agree with all that. I can't wait for next week.
