A lot of people thought the same thing about BSG. Maybe the human race ISN'T worth saving after all...

If I miss House I really don't care anymore. The new team just doesn't do it for me and the jobs the old team have just aren't a good fit.

Yeah, let's have Cameron lord over House and see how that goes. Didn't last too long, did it...

Well, I think the original BSG ended with Galactica exploding, didn't it? Maybe they'll go the same way.

It seems really weird to me to have Cameron and...I forget the other guy's name just hanging around in other jobs.

Nope.

Chase! His name is Chase.

Oh how easily we forget. :P

Again I say, that BSG episode could have been shrunk down to less than 10 minutes. It was all just filler.

The actor who plays Bill on 24 (James Morrison) almost always seems to play a person with presence on screen--at least he did when he was the Colonel on Space Above and Beyond.

Very much so.

He just has that look about him. Glancing over his IMDB profile, he's played a lot of military commanders, which really fits.

I said one five-minute scene would have covered all the bases.

Outside of the thing with the Chief and the pronouns the rest of it really could have been wrapped/put in the two minute "previously on BSG" thing at the beginning. I really do dislike episodes like that.

I think BSG needs MOAR BALTAR CRAZYPANTS.

I concur that House needs way way less personal drama. The only interesting character on that show has always been House himself, so please, I do not care about any of these people, just the exploding eyeballs and unnecessary amputations. I've really stopped watching it with any regularity.

There are people (well, person) on my flist who's all up in arms about Martha coming back (insert comment about The Sun right here) but she's the only ex-companion aside from Jack that makes any sense being around (no, wait, scratch that, also Sarah Jane). I've always found Martha to be boring as a character, but she's still the Doctor's friend and I definitely do not want him regenerating all alone in the rain, as you say. So, bring it on.

I liked him better when he was crazy, but actually doing something instead of sitting around preaching.

I recently got hooked on it, so it's still fairly new to me. I haven't gotten to the annoyance stage of the personal drama part yet. Hopefully that won't kick in for a while. It's kind of nice having a full night of TV to watch for once.

This! I have an unhealthy love for Baltar, and even I'm getting annoyed by his preaching. I want the original, awesome, flawed-and-he-knows-it, talking to imaginary Six (or, hell, himself) Baltar back. The Baltar that Caprica Six sees. I'm tired of this religious crap. The old Baltar would be aghast at himself.

And the preaching is just...boring. He's not doing anything but sitting on his butt.

Jack and Chloe screen time! \o/ They so wanted to hug each other.

I almost saw Chloe move her arms and then forcibly still them, because of the situation of course.

I sort of remember Chloe being pregnant before - who's the father?

Isn't it Morris, her husband the Brit from last season?

I was happy that the President's hubby wasn't killed.

I wanted him to hang. What I found frankly unbelievable about this though was the fact that he suddenly regained enough strength in his hands to strangle the MUCH YOUNGER AND FITTER secret service agent. Yeah, right.

Bill is awesome. He has that magical power to make people believe him with sheer earnestness. He and Jack are the only two people on the planet with it.

They are obviously secretly brothers or something - the Brothers Earnest. Though Jack does it more through brutal honesty, as much as the earnestness.

I wonder how long the FBI agent will stay in hiding with them.Don't know. Renee Walker is a somewhat "eh" character (mini!Jack!wannabee), but I think she's a regular for ( ... )

Oh right! I forgot about Morris.

I know - that was really silly. Oh show. :D

And Bill will never say "dammit, Chloe!" as well as Jack.

Don't know. Renee Walker is a somewhat "eh" character (mini!Jack!wannabee), but I think she's a regular for the season, so I guess she has to finally talk to the FBI again sometime.

Yeah, seems like she's the regular this year. I'm...fairly indifferent to her character. Don't love her or hate her. She's just there.

They were MEANT TO BE!!

YES!

Well, it wouldn't be 24 without suspension of disbelief.

Though I do recall him saying it on a number of occasions. You're right though, nobody has the tone that Jack has.

I'm...fairly indifferent to her character.

I'm in the same boat. She's okay. Not someone to intensely dislike, nor someone to become a new "great character" like Michelle did when she joined the show in S2. She's just ... there. It's almost like one of those characters you know won't last more than a couple of episodes at most and so decide not to become attached to, only she won't seem to go away. I just don't like the fact that she gets more screen time than Bill and Chloe!!

He seriously is going to pee himself. But Renee won't care because she will have joined the Church of JACK IS AWESOME.

I am probably the only person who said: Do not want Martha. I also didn't lament her not doing Torchwood. Ah well.

I've been hit or miss on House for awhile now. I like it best when it's strictly about cases.

Next week looks to be completely focused on Thirteen. MEH.

I am SO OVER Thirteen. She's become the main character. For no reason that I can see!

It does strike me as a strange tangent. And this is from someone who only started watching a few weeks ago.
