I don't think anyone's commented on Duala spying on Apollo and Starbuck... when I first saw that, I was thinking, "Do we really need even more intrigue at this point?" Then I thought, "Is D in love with him?" Then I remembered something from a Moore podcast - he said that D has a special relationship with all the pilots, as she's their connection to Galactica when they're in battle, etc. So maybe it's just that. Or maybe she's been put in charge of screening the pilots for depression, so they can administer the Space Prozac.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So, finally got around to watching SGA...about two minutes into the pastoral society, I turned to DH and said "It's a Monster from the ID!" Kind of disappointed to be proved right.
I want Roslin to live, but I don't think she should.

That was interesting. I wondered if one of them was going to say something about the assassination plan that would then get out, making people think that Starbuck really was the one who killed Cain after all.

Oh yeah, that crossed my mind too.
Am rewatching. Prettiest. Space. Battle. Evah! And something else struck me - Moore is a big fan of US Navy history, protocol etc. The scene of Apollo watching the battle while floating in space was evocative of the Battle of Midway, in which a US Navy torpedo bomber pilot was shot down during an unsuccessfull attack on the Japanese carriers. Minutes later, as he floated in the water he had a front-row view as US Navy dive bombers destroyed three of the four Japanese carriers (the fourth was destroyed later in the day). Of course, that particular pilot wasn't suicidal at the time. (He was the only survivor of the 30 or so men in his squadron.)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
All I remember about that show is Allyson calling it John D'oh!
And that it was bad. That and Fastlame were two bad Fox Friday shows to which I was exposed (mostly, commercials) while seeking out good SF. The things we endure!

He talks about this on the podcast.

see, i liked both of them. though i liked Fastlane more than John Doe. i've found that i don't have to be crazy fandom obsessed with all the shows i watch. i can like and watch them without any expectations other than filling an hour with some mindless entertainment.

Trust my rage
Why is Apollo feeling suicidal? I missed where that came from.
(on edit: I saw that he was suicidal. I just don't get why.)
Then I thought, "Is D in love with him?"
I thought this was what they were hinting at. Something about the way she was standing, I guess, like she wanted to be comforting him.

Yeah, off the top of my head I can't think if they've hinted at this before.
Maybe "suicidal" isn't the best word... but something similar, when you should be fighting for your life, but it's easier to just give up. Like a depressed rat that drowns more quickly than a well-adjusted rat.
