BSG "Hero" - Running Thoughts
- Oh god, Baltar's painting. So bad, lol.
- Wow. Roslin cleavage. Yay!
- I love Helo. And I'm also really happy that Dee is still wearing the blue uniform, instead of the pre-Pegasus green one.
- I think this episode is going to suck. It's just a feeling I have. I mean, how convenient is it that this guy would find Galactica after all the jumps they've done? It feels way too contrived.
- I want Helo and Gaeta to be BFF. But also, why are they so confused? Can't they make that deductive leap and figure out that hey, if Starbuck could fly a raider, maybe there's a human in another one? Come on! You're both smart!
- Hey look! It's the Chief! Hi, Chief. I've been missing you. I wonder if you get any lines in this episode?
- So, this guy was sent to spy on the cylons or something? And what, it still came as a big surprise that they looked like humans? Is this going to be some rewriting of canon history, something that Enterprise seemed to do all the time? If that's the case, I'm going to be annoyed.
- Clearly, I am setting myself up to hate this episode.
- How come Starbuck is suddenly all normal and emo pain-free again?
- You know what I hate? How we get like 2 minutes of 'Last time on Battlestar Galactica'. I would rather have two more minutes of actual show, instead of a recap that I don't need to see everytime. Wait? What? Are you telling me that the cylons look human? That they blew up Caprica? I didn't know!
- God, I love Doc Cottle.
- Do the cylons need to eat? I really want to know. Oh, wait. We know they do because the Six on Pegasus did. I wonder what kind of food traditions they have. And where they get the food. Do they have hydroponics bays?
- Ah, Three. You're just psychotic, aren't you? Tormenting a man in a cage. Good times.
- Oooooh, you rebel Tauron colonists! Sweet.
- OK, so he wasn't sent to spy on the cylons. I feel less annoyed now!
- Gosh, I feel like maybe Adama is pushing Roslin too much lately. Is there going to be a break between them? Damn. I hope not. And haha, maybe Adama won't be getting his party.
- EEEEW GROSS THREE AND BALTAR. And Six? Wow. Kinky cylon/human threesomes? Weird. I mean, really, what is so damn hot about Baltar? Nothing. I just don't get it.
- Tigh is a mess, and an ass. Can't live with your actions, Tigh? Doesn't mean you should crow over other people's mistakes. Where's your class? Oh wait, you've never had any.
- So. Was this Bulldog guy actually was sent to spy on the cylons after all? Well, not spy, but get caught or something? Was he supposed to be a trap that even he didn't know about? No. That's too damn complicated and dumb.
- I'm having this mental image of Tigh losing it so much that he starts dressing up as Ellen. I can just see it now, him drunk and stumbling along the halls in her lace camisole and her pink suit. I bet he finds a wig somewhere (maybe he tracks down that woman with blonde hair who he mistook for Ellen and shaves her head and has one custom-made). Hahahah.
- Where to people get their near-endless supply of cigarettes? Was there a cigarette transport in the Fleet?
- Tigh is such a jerk.
- I don't understand why Lee is so shocked by the revelation that the Admiralty (how lame of a name is that?) were doing recon on the cylons. Isn't this to be expected? Did people really think that the Fleet would just ignore the cylons after and blissfully assume that there would never be hostilities again? This issue seems rather overblown (not the part about shooting down Bulldog, though, that doesn't seem overblown. Just the 'OMG YOU WERE SPYING ON THE CYLONS??' bit).
- Tigh, I feel no sympathy for you.
- I would have liked to have seen Bulldog's reaction to Sharon.
- Oh, please Adama, do you really think you started the hostilities? That cylon plan would have been in the works for longer. Didn't Six say she'd been on Caprica for a year? They wouldn't have just thrown her in there without planning as a 'OMG REACTION' moment. And to destroy all of the colonies because one ship crossed the line? Over reaction, much? Get over yourself, Adama, you are not that important. This is just lame and overblown and stupid. Bad writing, writers, bad writing. Season 3, you are beginning to disappoint me.
- Why would Starbuck go to Tigh instead of Helo? Helo is the acting XO, and Tigh is a drunk - I'm really not impressed.
- Thank god that the convenience of this 'I found Galactica!' storyline is being pointed out. Some of my faith is a little restored.
- Oh good, Roslin is pointing out the stupidity of Adama's belief that it's all his fault. That's some nice thinking on what a hero is (and isn't).
- Is Bulldog going off to join Anders on the 'rejects from the show' ship? I'm just asking. P.S. - I miss Anders. I never thought I'd be saying that.
- NO. I don't want Tigh to go back to the CIC. I like Helo as XO.
- Hmmm, looks like Chief didn't get any lines after all. Damn. Chief, I want to know what's up!
In conclusion: This episode pretty much bored me. It seemed too contrived in many ways. Oh well. Also, the Three storyline continues to annoy and bore me. Why is she getting all the visions etc that Head!Six used to get? It's just pointless. And what's going on with Hera?
