So do I need to be on guard against every new character? Because yeah, I liked one of them in the most recent episode I watched and BAM. Cylon. I'm zooming through Season 2 at the moment.
Loving Starbuck's character (she gets a lot of development and heart, doesn't she?), especially loving the Kara/Lee interactions ("No, you love me. You can't take it back. There's no take-backs!"/"You're dreaming it!"/"You love me!"/"Dreamer!"), and I enjoyed the imagery when they finally entered the tomb of Athena and all the constellations providing the map to Earth. Roslin/Adama also have a wonderful dynamic. I'm wondering though, am I the only one just not loving Sharon/Boomer/Whatever-Incarnation-She-Is-At-Any-Give-Time? And Helo's okay, I'm not crazy about him, I mildly like him and sometimes really like him, but mostly he's just okay. I did like how Sharon tricked Tom Zaren's man when they were on Kobol, but beyond that I just have oceans of distrust for her. The fact that she could stage such a demonstration merely proves how dangerous she is and is not to be trusted--also, mothers can be scary. Seriously don't wanna mess with a mama.
Oh, and I can't stand Tigh's wife. Seriously, I've been zoning out those scenes where he's drinking and she's pestering/nattering/goading him on. Those scenes are so unnecessary to my enjoying this show--are in fact a deterrent to my enjoyment.
Gaius Baltar's crazy egomania is running a bit thin for me now. I need some more scenes of him being ridiculous like back in Season 1 when he chased Gaeta in the restroom to plead his case that he wasn't a traitor while they were in adjacent stalls. Hilarious! Also, I love Gaeta. I love how he covered for Dee when she helped Lee and President Roslin escape Galatica--he so could've thrown her under the bus but he didn't. Oh and Dee! I loved her confronting Commander Adama and telling him it was time to heal the wounds. She's awesome. And Billy. They're adorable.
Okay, that's my ramble. Back to watching SHOW.
