We said the same thing- she should have punched him :)

SO GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE.

He kind of deserved it. I mean, really Gaius. THIS is how you show her you've changed? ;p

I would point out though that someone's been needing to bitch slap Gaius since S1, so maybe the writers were getting it in there while they could.

Did anyone else laugh uncontrollably when Lee Adama strangulated "Gaius Baltar?" with his eyes going for the One-Eye-Tigh Medal of Bulge?

*high fives fellow almost-vegetarian*

Prolix Mommy: He's... not really the sort of guy that you punch.

HA! Maybe it was in the delivery, but that's pretty priceless.

Oh fine, it was the most romantic moment in the relationship. *sulks a bit* I want closure, this ain't it. :(

But yay! Boomer. :)

I'm glad I'm not the only who thinks it's hilarious! <3

No, it really isn't. Poor Sam! But it was awfully romantic. "Human or Cylon, it doesn't matter. You're just Sam. You are my Sam." <3

Hee. I LOVE that she slapped him, though. Starbuck punching Baltar would've just... landed his ass right on the floor, which might've given me an ounce of sympathy for him or something.

(I'm actually thinking now, has Kara *slapped* anyone before? Like, in her life? I think it's something special Gaius Baltar would bring out in people.)

Nicole, I was actually holding my breath during the Baltar/Six scenes. I BLAME YOU FOR THIS.
I FEEL NO REMORSE AT ALL. (Gah, Gaius, it's not that hard. Just stop crying and show her you can go twenty minutes without completely proving her point- oh, too late. *sigh*)

Kara trying to shoot Sam: most romantic moment in their entire relationship, y/y?
Pretty close, at least on her end. I'm so torn, because I AM NOT PLEASED about this Sam thing, but that was very fitting and sad for Kara. "My Sam." *sniffle*

Agree on the new Hera! <3 And yay, I'm so glad we didn't jump on the Boomer hate train last week, because she's clearly back on the redemption path again!

This is very true! And I'm a little irked that he outed her to everyone in the world! Irked and ... confused. Was it a grand gesture to show Caprica that he really can't be trusted after all? Because, um. Is he still pissed about her little Freudian slip? Was it really contrived writing so that everyone would finally learn her secret? HELP ME UNDERSTAND.

She did slap Lee that one time in "Scar." But I can totally believe that this is a trait Gaius brings out in people.

I still want him to get back together with Caprica though. He's such a woobie. <3

I couldn't avoid the promo spoilers for Sam's hybridization, so I'm glad I got the chance to be prepared. I guess. :/ I actually am starting to feel upset about it now that I've seen everyone else being so upset about it. Because I barely ( ... )

Right! *slaps own forehead*

I gotta admit, this is the ONE week that even I'm struggling to get Baltar's motivation, because I mostly think that was contrived writing to get the information out into the open dramatically. But I'll have to watch it again. I don't think he was actively trying to spite Kara with the reveal, just being completely insensitive to her feelings. It didn't occur to me he was trying to prove anything to Caprica, because that total insensitivity combined with his attention-whoring was not exactly ~*impressive*~. But it's possible, since I think when Gaius pulls crap like this, he's basically convinced himself that he's being inspiring and important.

I still want him to get back together with Caprica though. He's such a woobie. <3Yeah. Damn ( ... )

I had a lot of issues with this episode but I *squee*ed my heart out at the Sam/Kara moments. They had me sobbing like the little girl I am. And I HOPE Sam at least recognizes her once before the end...or he is restored to full health and they run off into the sunset to make little 1/3 hybrid babies:)

I would take either of these outcomes! Particularly door #2. ;)
