My favorite was how Jacob and TWoP put it, at the end of his A Day In The Life recap:
"He smiles to himself, and thinks about how in fifteen years he's so going to make his move. Once the war's over, and Nicky's grown, and Hera, and he has enough time, he's so going to get laid. Or ask to hold her hand, or accompany her in a turn around the garden, or something."
Truly, Jacob's wonderful recaps have informed so much of my BSG writing. Others mock my Big Shy Boy Bill characterization, but that paragraph just captures it perfectly. :D
I went there for that small paragraph, but I found myself wanting to copy and paste the whole thing, particularly, "The whole point of you is that it wasn't about you, which either turned you into an asshole or was because you're an asshole, but we're betting on some admixture of both considering that William Adama is incapable of having a family smaller than Every Single Person There Is, which is the point of this episode, and the series, and every Lie About Earth he's told since the show started. Put it away, Bill."
sure! sure... rehearsal, lots of practice makes perfect! billy had a preview and totally approved, but you can see the technique was still lacking the ardour and the don't-give-a-shit-about-you-son attitude of later performances u,u
