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

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 :)
