I don't GET IT. We're getting NOWHERE.

1. This was a strange episode that I had no immediate reaction to. Okay, I was very saddened by the prospect of leaving the Galactica... mostly for poor Adama. Crying and throwing paint everywhere. But then again we know how I am with vehicles - I'm one of those people that does feel bad for the planes in Air Crash Investigation, and anthropomorphizes cars. It's probably why I like Cylons to begin with. Machines didn't ask to be made. And I share Apollo's yuck response to the other ship's wanting to cannibalize Galactica. Remember what happened when they took off the dead parts off Eastern Air Lines 401 and put them on other planes? Ghosts happened.
2. Starbuck trying to shoot Sam came the fuck out of nowhere, but the idea of Sam being "hooked up" to the ship through the organic resin is very, very cool. I like how Starbuck's clearly going crazy. Although the little aww moment of "I don't care that you're returned from the dead!" with Apollo was just... puke. Sorry. This is just not a couple I have ever liked or given a shit about.
3. I think Helo and Athena should just take a raptor and go after Hera. I mean, come on. They're clearly gonna kill themselves if they don't. Ugh, I really hope everything works out for them.
4. So is Boomer finally going to come to her emotional senses and rescue Hera from whatever crazy experiments Cavill has planned for her? Because she fits the type of the little girl she wanted to have with the Chief? Blah blah blah. Save Hera if you want, but she's not your daughter, bitch. Remember how you tried to kill her when she was a baby? Do the writers remember that? Boomer's character is getting fucked up so much she's barely a character. She's more like whatever-the-writers-need-her-to-be.
5. Tigh: "I had a child. He died." Ellen: "No, Saul. You had millions." EWWW.
6. Had to think about this one, but the bad-ass award this week goes to Starbuck, for being the only one on the show still committed to getting to the truth. I mean, I feel Adama's pain giving up on God and destiny and all the rest, but this is a TV show and the people need answers.
Speaking of dying flying vehicles... Air Crash Investigation started without me! Frak! And they're actually doing an Indonesian crash this season. About time. Indonesian airlines are banned in the EU (you know, along with airlines from North Korea and Liberia...), that's how bad they are. Truly it's amazing that people get in and out of that country.
