Are the previews with the Tyrols making anyone else dread this episode?

I ain’t zactly jumping for joy, that’s for sure. Oddly enough, Battlestar Wiki seems to think this episode will be about Adama remembering his wife. Yet another relatively boring episode is not what I want to see. More 'splosions and gratuitous nudity, less touchy feely crap. Do they still have any vipers on Galatica? Then let’s see em fight something, dammit.

And give up some naked Callie already. We’ve seen her sweaty, with those bangs and the nice eyes. Time for side boob and hip action 😃

I really, really want to see Callie die. She’s gotten annoying, and I think it would be interesting to see the Chief suffer more. Who’s with me?

She can’t die until we see her naked, dammit 😃

God this episode is gonna suck. Callie’s character is so boring and upappealing. But I’m going to watch it anyway. Even if it sucks, it’s better than what else is on TV.

I second the “Callie nekkid” demand. I don’t care if she gets blown out an airlock the next scene, but I want some nuditity soonest!

Well it’s nice to see that families are getting some nicer quarters. Did anyone else interpret “daycare workers” to mean old women who can’t do anything else?

Ninety-nine cents to vote on whether Baltar should get a fair trial? Are they that fraking desperate for money?

Boo Hiss!

Next week: Lee Adama as Atticus Finch.

So far, an _extremely_ underwhelming episode, TPTB really need to frakkin’ space the whole soap opera angle, NOBODY CARES about the familial issues of the Tyrols, the Adamas, the Anders-Thraces, the Agathons, NOBODY FRAKKIN CARES!

get back to the Toaster-Busting!

and no, the “Engineering Failure of the Week” won’t cut it either

\<YAWN!\>

…never thought i’d see the day i’d find BSG _BORING_, i’ve actually been contemplating dropping the show, it’s just not grabbing my attention anymore

and with less than a half hour, looks like Baltar’s got a reprieve until next week, trying to squeeze his trial into less than a half an hour of airtime, when there’s been minimal setup, wouldn’t work either

I don’t want to be the first one to bring up the subject of jumping sharks, but…

You’d think the Colonials would have some sort of federal law to deal with crimes like treason and genocide. And what criminal law have they been using these last two years? I just assumed they’ve been using a modified version of the Colonial Fleet’s artices of war for the civilians.

I tune in every week hoping it’ll get better.

You know what would be better than the Tyrols dying? One or both of them suffering severe brain damage from lack of oxygen. And has Mrs Adama always been named “Carolanne”? Wasn’t she just “Anne” is other episodes?

“See you next year.” An intereting literary device.  
Much better than last week. 🙂

Better episode than what I had imagined. It sort of did some character advancement. NOT MUCH, but a little. Next week looks to be descent.

Did anyone notice that Helo was at the meeting? Does he not have an assload of refugees anymore? Did that go away? Just curious.

I had wished Callie died though, I was just praying for it. Not sure why 😃

I’m surprised at myself. I didn’t realise how much I disliked Callie until this episode.

When Lee walked into Adama’s quarter and was asked how Tyrol and Callie were, I thought “yea! Lee’s facial expression means Callie’s dead.”

Later, Seelix asked Tyrol how Callie was. I thought “yea! Tyrol’s facial expression means Callie’s dead.”

Then Tyrol walked over to Callie in the hyperbaric chamber and I thought “yea! those bloodshot eyes mean she’s not got long!”

And I was so disappointed every time.

I just kept thinking, “Nicky sure has his daddy’s physique!” That has to be the fattest infant I’ve seen on film. Are the daycare ladies not dilluting his formula correctly?

For some reason, this comment cracked me up bigtime.

Who said, in the last thread, that they wanted to see Tyrol and Callie get airlocked? You got your wish!
