Gaeta and Zarek May Be Right, But I Still Want to Shank Them

First, let me apologize for not getting this up earlier (for all two of you who read these), but I had a little too much champagne last night, slept until almost noon, and woke up dehydrated. Plus also, it's really kind of intimidating to write these things, because so many other smart and ( Read more... )

I loved all the little backstabby stuff that was going on. Gaeta and Zarek. Tyrol laying down the law to Adama.

The one thing that seriously pissed me off, though, was the whole Cally thing. (A totally biased rant follows.) Killing her off was one thing...yes, it sucked major ass, but I could get over it since the series is almost over. But, now to posthumously turn her into--what? a slut? an adulterer?--that's just really lame. Correct me if I'm wrong, but she never showed the slightest interest in any guy on that ship other than the Chief, right? (Here endeth the rant.)

I don't think it means she was a slut. We don't really know what was going on in that missing year, and RDM says that she was kind of in a relationship with Hot Dog, and he imagined that Chief just randomly popped the question to her one day, and she was kind of in a corner. I don't necessarily see it as a bad thing, and while Cally isn't a favorite, I'm certainly not a hater.

I thought it was said that Cally all but proposed to the Chief after he beat the crap out of that one time. And RDM did confirm that the Hot Dog thing happened right before she and the Chief got together. I'm glad they cleared that up because I was always confused by how Hera was special but Nicky wasn't.

I'm pretty sure they had to ret-con the Nicky thing. Like, they were all, "Hey! So Chief's a Cylon now, cool?" "But what about his kid?" "Eh? It ain't his kid?" "It totally ain't his kid." "Cool?" "Cool."

Well, RDM *would* know. I guess.

And, no, we don't know what happened during the missing year, although I thought those two crazy kids got together before the time jump.

Guess I just lose all objectivity when it involves a cute girl in grease-stained coveralls.

They like her, too. Don't worry.
