BSG: A disappointment felt in my Soul


BSG - Episode 75: A Disquiet that Follows My Soul
She Said:
I know this is my first post and all, but what a frakked up mess of an episode.

Let's rewrite history - Callie who was in love and fiercely loyal to the Chief forever was TWO TIMING him with Hot Dog??? Seriously??? Wow... I take this revision to mean the writers had not chosen the final five cylons until after Chief and Callie had their son. Then all of a sudden there is a second cylon/human baby out there - hmm, they don't seem to want that now, so let's tarnish Callie now that she is gone. This also tells me there must be some sort of plan/purpose for Hera and Tighs/6 baby that having another cylonish baby out there wouldn't be quiet as cool.

Don't even get me started with Tigh/6 cuddling and cooing over the ultra sound - blech.

Fine, President Roslin - kill yourself, but when you are living in a place with limited supplies is it really a good idea throw away a buttload of drugs that ya know other people who may want to live could use.

Am I supposed to be compelled by Roslin's running and Adama's Teeth Brushing? However , Roslin, I'll will give it to you, you masterfully delivered your mnologue...

The mutiny angle is weak to me. However, the previews look a bit more promising.

Remember how good the first two seasons were... I want funny sex crazed Balthar back. I want the undeniable chemistry of Starbuck and Apollo. I want to know how they are going to tie all this up in 8 more episodes and give us a satisfying ending...or at least keep it interesting.

I agree with everything you say here. I have a feeling things are going to get better before the show ends, but I miss the way it was. So when all is said and done, I'm guessing the majority of supporting characters will be dead and one or two principles. Just seems to be where this is all going. That's going to suck.
I miss Balthar so much. He's puts me to sleep when he's on screen now. And I mean that literally.
Was Adama's teeth brushing a PSA or something?. Why don't they do a tie in with Sesame Street like Happy Days did when Fonzie and Richie showed us the proper way to brush our teeth.
Every week this doesn't get better, I'm just going to remember fat Lee and smile.
