Battlestar Galactica - season cliffhanger

[anotheranon]

I liked the concept, but thought the "one year later" section was a bit compressed for time. Even so:

• Can we all just smack Gaius Balthar now? I always thought he was a pig, now he's a cigarillo-smoking surrender monkey as well. What the hell does Six see in him?
  
• Please, please let Starbuck not only get back in the cockpit but also CUT HER DAMNED HAIR! She's not made for on-ground civilian living! Am I evil for wanting Anders to die because Starbuck is more interesting when she's unhappy?
  
• I love the smell of subtext in the morning - I don't think the Kat/Starbuck standoff was explored, ah, sufficiently...
  
• What happened between Lee and Starbuck? Feel free to speculate away in the comments, 'cos I have no ideas.
  
• What became of the Sharon on Galactica?
  
• Damn, they better not pull a "Rome" and make us wait 2 years for the next season :P
  

Later this week I'll try and post something more substantial than What I See On My TeeVee, but I'm feeling lazy :P

Can this show GET any better?????

Oh, yes, those questions!!!!!!!!!!!!! Personally, I think Baltar is a Cylon under deep cover. How else did he survive the nuclear explosion on Caprica???????????? Can anyone else say Cylon reincarnation????? And President Baltar sure has screwed everything up, hasn't he? Egads. Someone assassinate this guy!!!

He's slimy AND untrustworthy x100!!!

Starbuck is indeed, not made for ground - she need to be in space for sure. I don't think she's happy, even with Anders around. She won't be till she gets back in a Viper.

Kat/Starbuck - this was an odd thing for me. I think Starbuck should have kicked her insubordinate ass from the start.

Lee and Starbuck? Oooooh, makes me toesies curl, that does! Were they really lovers????????? Or just good friends???????

And the Sharon on Galactica? Hmmmmmmmm...... I'll have to ask Mikey that one - I truly don't remember.

Frell, it's not like they don't throw everything INCLUDING the kitchen sink at you in every single episode, you know? What an AMAZING show!!!!

Kat/Starbuck - this was an odd thing for me. I think Starbuck should have kicked her insubordinate ass from the start.

So do I, but I think we may be operating on different assumptions ;)

I'm not sure what's up with Lee/Starbuck. In the last episode, I got the impression that he'd finally figured out that he was in love with her... just as Anders got back.

Also, I loved the election fraud at the end, because it makes all of the characters out to be impure in some way - even President Roslin. It would have been easy to have her be the miracle politician who kicked cancer and led everyone to freedom, but the writers had her stumble - I like that :)
