Who the hell plays Roslin's Campaign Manager? Sorry for the lack of composure here, but she's hawt.

An excellent episode. Baltar for sure pulled a fast one on Roslyn, one worthy of U235's Ice Burn emoticon. Oh, and now Lee is the commander of Pegasus! Fuck yeah! Him taking the conn on Pegasus, commanding the crew and fixing the Colonel's frackup was beautiful. I dare say one of the better moments of the season.

The battle was pretty nice and salvo fire on the central axis of the basestar was very nice. The prow of a Battlestar is a very dangerious place to be if you're an enemy.
The Colonel's last scene was good, he died well. Fixed with a fuckin' wrench, indeed.
Also, I second your first statement. Sorry, Billy. I'll fondly remember you, but I like the new girl's legs better.

Good episode. Pegasus kicked some ass, despite its incompetent commander.
The Apollo / Dee thing is still stupid, but I can deal with it.
Apollo suddenly making Commander; seemed too fast, but again I can live with it.

Fastest promotion ever. And so, I propose that to avoid any confusion in discussion, Apollo continues being called Apollo or Lee and not Commander Adama, and former Commander and current Admiral Adama gets called Adama. He can't be called Bill anyway because only Col. Tigh and Rosalyn are allowed to call him that. (Ellen Tigh does also, but she's not allowed to, because she needs to die but won't because she has to frak everyone over again and again).
Still, Adama always had a blind spot in regards to his kids (Apollo and Starbuck, Starbuck being like a daughter to him). It isn't going to be looked at too kindly by a lot of people that Adama made his son the commander of the Pegasus so quickly. Just a year ago he was barely a captain. If Lee screws up at all, in any way whatsoever, there will be bad repercussions.
Maybe it won't be a bad idea. Maybe Apollo will become his father's son, and command is where he's meant to me. The battle did start becoming less sucky when Apollo, Starbuck, and Commander Garner were in their 'proper' roles of command, flying around and blowing shit up, and saving the ship in the unsexy mechanical ways.
Maybe it'll essentially kill the Apollo/Dee thing now except for angst on Dee's part (you know they're not going to drop it completely). It's not like Lee will be going off duty much anymore, if at all, and they'll be on separate ships. Unless he stupidly asks for her to be transferred to Pegasus.
On other notes:
They need to stop showing deleted scenes in the "previously on" part at the beginning.
Damn, Pegasus took a beating. How many nukes hit it? Three, or four?
I actually hope that if Baltar wins, Zarek ends up being the one in control. We don't need the crazy Cylon collaberator running the fleet. Doesn't he remember that Number Six wants him to cause the extinction of the human race? Zarek at least doesn't have a half-naked Cylon chick running around in his brain golf-clapping as he stares into space with the crazy look. At the very least, though, Baltar is not getting the Galactica vote:
"I'm not voting for that nut. He's always talking to that tall imaginary friend of his. We don't need a lunatic as president."
"Yeah, I once saw Dr. Baltar slam his head into the wall."
"I saw him start to strangle himself with his tie in the middle of the corridor. He wasn't alone, either; there were twenty of us staring at him."
They're increasing the spacing between episodes. They used to go only a few days at most between them, and now months are going by. They're probably pacing it so Sharon's baby can be born at the season finale, when it will Suck To Be Everyone again, all hell will break loose, and they will attempt to top Kobol's Last Gleaming. I can't imagine how, but they will.
And next week, from the previews, should be really cool.

Yes, I believe it was, in fact, four. Two in the initial salvo, then another impacted... I believe Lt. Hoshi said the engine pod, and another after that, after they had rolled the topside away from the Cylons.Mayabird wrote:Damn, Pegasus took a beating. How many nukes hit it? Three, or four?
I had always found it very impressive that Galactica could survive a direct nuke impact in the Mini, but this showed that a fully armored Mercury-class Battlestar is fucking tough as nails.
Oh, and I do hope they finally do get Apollo and D seperated. I'm a little tired of rolling my eyes every week.

Ah, but now they aren't in the same command, so Lee and Dee can fraternize without to many regs getting bent.Ra wrote:Oh, and I do hope they finally do get Apollo and D seperated. I'm a little tired of rolling my eyes every week.
