As soon as Lee grows wings and hides himself away in shame only to be coaxed out by Helo who tells him that, no, they’re beautiful – maybe then I’d believe you’re on to something.
'Till then? not so much.
WIngs? We talkin’ Dumbo here?
See, that’s where you’re wrong. Lee looked crazy hot in a suit.
cf. Wingfic – a genre of fanfic wherein a character suddenly grows beautiful wings that he thinks are hideous, only to discover that his erstwhile slashy lover finds them beeeyoutiful, leading to cuddling and to 13-year-old girls thinking that everything is right in the world and sigh they’re so dreeeeamy sigh.
It may not be the nadir of fanficdom, but it’s as far down as I’ve ever been shown and about the same level I’d have to see to think this was more than BSG drifting into sloppy writing.
Yep. Some of us keep holding out hope that the quality will come up again. My knee-jerk reaction after the season 2 finale was to quit watching, but I gave them another chance and was rewarded with the first few episodes of season 3. I’d hate to give up on a show that was so good for so long without giving it a lot of chances to redeem itself. If complaining about it in the meantime warrants a rolleyes, so be it.
I suppose the wing stories are better than the Bigfoot variation. AKA, “Hairy Sue.” 
Something’s been bugging me.
How was Imaginary Baltar able to give Six the info about Tigh’s wife?
I really hope someone has a plausible explanation for that. For quite a while, I’ve had a nagging suspicion that our dear Mr. Moore intends the noncorporeal Six and Baltar as actual angels. That suspicion has been lessened since the show ratcheted back the mysticism a bit, but it still nags at me from time to time.
If Ellen woke up in a tub of goo, she could have told them what happened.
He’s been catching up on the plot via Imaginary Netflix.
To be fair Lee looks crazy in (or out 
) of anything. If this were a British show we’d have seen all the male actors naked by now. Back to the show, RDM is clearly trying to make it so that if the tribunal aquits Baltar it’s because of reasonable doubt, not because they actually think he’s innocent. He’s being very sloppy about it and cramming "the prosectution’s case is going badly) down our throughts.
If you need some handwaving for it, just assume that Six (like Baltar) is capable of remarkable leaps of intuitive logic. She could’ve been cold-reading him.
Much of what she – and Head!Baltar – said isn’t too far off from what a fako psychic would say. He looked very much like someone who’d suffered a loss*, and when she got a reaction from her comment along those lines, she pursued it. I don’t recall her saying she knew about his wife, but about his loss.
- and kudos to Michael Hogan who’s acting has, if anything, improved this season. he has Tigh wearing his emotions on his sleeve, yet doesn’t need dialog to explain what’s going on in Tigh’s head. (unlike some of the other actors.)
There’s some ignorance I was probably better off having un-fought.
Except for in the fat suit!
And we’ve almost seen Jamie nekkid, back in the “towel scene” from Season One. I think we’ve seen more of him than of anyone but Grace Parks.
“All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again”
(Several Oracles have been amazingly spot on wiht the predictions… clearly something ‘larger’ is going on… if they end up in a cave on some planet dancing to drums, I’m gonna be so pissed)
On edit: I also like what the lightray said… about the leading statements and not being specifically “on target”, but close enough to make you think she knew.
—cough— Tricia Helfer —cough—
Yes, we saw her too. But there were more of Grace Parks. All nekkid.
When oh when will this show get back to the halcyon days of the BBBB? When, oh Lords? When? Your people cry out for justice (or at least some titty!)
Hey, we’ve seen Jamie’s titties – er, pecs – and Tahmoh’s too for that matter, and relatively recently. Most everything but the dangly bits, really.
And there was that nekkid Grace tai chi shot on the baseship.
It’s the bunnage that is in short supply, recently.
No, it’s just that far too many post and express bitching after every single episode.
I think Charmed is a silly show that exists strictly for the T&A factor. Therefore, I don’t watch it. I’m therefore kind enough to not post in Charmed threads with “wow, another shitty episode” comments.
YMMV, of course.

To be fair, BSG has had a streak of consecutive duds in Season 3. Criticism is richly deserved for some of the drivel foisted off on us.
That said, I hereby predict you ain’t seen nothing yet. If the spoilers are true, and it looks like they are, the thread next week will contain much snarling and gnashing of teeth. Some will like it, but I suspect at least an equal number will not. Even though I’ve read the spoilers…and much discussion of them elsewhere…I remain undecided as to whether I will like them long term. Next week is going to be a major shakeup anyway you slice it…
Exodus II, Apollo turning to the bridge as he leaves and saying, “Thank you.” Is one of the most killer scenes in space opera science fiction TV.
Feel better?
