Wow you're back to hating it, huh? Aw, sad. I like when Boppy is happy!!
I do agree that it was all resolved pretty tidily for Adama & Co., eh? I also loved the Gaeta/Baltar scene (although I still don't get whether it was for reals because how on Earth was Gaeta not restrained/in the brig for that convo? I mean Adama isn't that naive to let the leader of the rebellion just swan around untethered smoking cigarillos with Baltar in nicely appointed quarters, is he?)
Lee in the scene with the grenade?? ::DIES:: So hot and awesome. I haven't loved Lee like that in a long frakkin' time. Captain Apollo is indeed still in there somewhere.
Now let me defend my girl for a bit: Kara/Anders. Ouch. How shortlived was the Kara/Lee teamwork? Sheesh. As soon as Sam showed up, it was over. And then of COURSE he got melodramatically shot and bled all over her and she had to be All About Sam and abandon Lee again. There's only two ways this will end: 1) he dies the martyr's death I predicted and Kara never gets over it or 2) he recovers slowly and

I still don't get whether it was for reals because how on Earth was Gaeta not restrained/in the brig for that convo? Yeah... I thought at first it was a flashback. Now could it be a dream? I guess the show makes so little sense though it could actually have happened

I thought at first it was a flashback. Now could it be a dream? I guess the show makes so little sense though it could actually have happened. The writer's interview with Mo Ryan at the Chiago Tribune says it was supposed to be tricksy on purpose. Apparently it was real and in Gaeta's quarters (an RDM idea to make it tricksy. eh.)
the writing, which very clearly has wussed out on Kara making a clear decision or addressing any of the complex emotions between her and Anders. Ah yes. I think next week will be the end of the Kara/Sam romantic stuff. Just my spec.
Lee made it obvious he was there for Kara if she wanted him (in the brig scene). Ever since then she hasn't acted on it.Really? Hmm I didn't get that at all from the brig scene. I thought it was a "let me give you some confidence/kiss you goodbye so I can go play at destiny too." I wish they'd kept the extended bit with Aurora, that was a much bigger commitment between them I think and then I would've read it as Lee extending a promise of sorts to Kara. (But then the Lee/Dee

then I would've read it as Lee extending a promise of sorts to Kara. I read it that way from the very beginning. But then Lee was still in character back then and I always felt in tune with him and understood him at an instinctive level. I certainly wasn't alone in reading it as Lee saying 'I respect that you're still married, but if/when you want me, I am yours'. I loved it. It's the last L/K anything I have loved. I'll end my personal canon there, I suspect because everything after that stings.
And yes, you see how the Lee/Dee made no sense? That's why I was so ragey about the stupid contrived writing. It made no character sense. And yet, that's where you run smack bang into the wall of 'give up, the writers will do what they want'. There's no character integrity at all.
f/how they resolve this total dictatorship they've worked their way into. Honestly? I don't think the writers see a problem with it.

But it's Adama... what can possibly be wrong with him as sheriff Admiral?
