BSG....

1. There wasn't nearly enough Starbuck in this episode. That is to say, there wasn't any Starbuck in this episode.

2. Ditto for Boomer, whom I rather like, aside from the evil cylon thing.

3. Crashdown is an idiot. Not sure he deserved to die for that, though.

4. Hail to the Chief for summing up Why This Isn't A Democracy in three sentences or less. Even though Crashdown was being an idiot, and about to get them all killed.

5. I do agree with TWOP on that part, though. He was just a little *too* competent. Baby birds, sandals, he could do anything! So why was he on Galactica in the first place? Shouldn't've he been on a better ship if he's so gosh-darn capable?

6. Cally wanted to become a dentist? I'm now officially frightened.

7. Everybody on this show is so frighteningly religious. What's very interesting is that apparently, religious beliefs have some connection to where you grew up - Geminons are just assumed to all believe in the literal truth of scripture. If this was a relatively open society, and people travel from one world to another, isn't it possible that at least a few Geminons don't think that scripture is literally true? Maybe some of them are even areligious! Gasp! Horror! Even in the Bible Belt, there are a few atheists.

8. I have no real coherant thoughts other than that I want the old theme song back. I looked forward to it, and now it's all gone. Sniffle.

Oh, and I've long since been developing these tiny pinpricks of blisters on the tips of my fingers. They're hard, and they don't act like blisters until I finally get annoyed and stab them with a needle. I don't feel it unless I touch the skin outside of the blister, and water dribbles out once the blister is stabbed. I wonder if I should worry about this.

Love Boomer. Like Starbuck a lot. Hate the new haircut though.

TWOP? Huh? Sorry, no coffee yet today. But I had the feeling that Galactica was the figurehead of the (old) fleet. Or IOW there wasn't a better ship.

I think Cally would have been a good dentist. Perhaps a pediatric dentist. I could see that.

Glad someone else agrees with me and [livejournal.com profile] mmaestro about the theme music. Apparently it was changed due to popular demand. His theory is that the demand came from people in the US who downloaded the show off the Internet when it came out in Britain, since it came out there way before here (you did know it's the British theme music, right?). Then when it finally came out here, they got upset because it wasn't what they were used to.

Right. But I thought that all the ships that they're using were the old fleet that was about to be decommissioned (one M or two?) and the Galactica was the flagship of that fleet. Well, the old battleships and some commercial ships, I mean—my point was that there aren't any of the *new* battleships now, are there? And it was a big deal that they were decommissioning Galactica, so of course all the big shots were aboard.

Not being someone who watches and re-watches every episode, nor someone with a good memory for insanely detailed plots, I could very well be mistaken.
