And who knew that the Colonies had dogs?

So, no need to build daggets, then?

It's probably like the last dog ever.... ::sniff::

BTW, hated Helo's hair. Hated.

Much too Spock.

And he kind of has the Spock job now too, doesn't he?

Yeah, I don't buy Starbuck really falling for the kid.

Speaking of, here's my theories on what the kid is, in order of most-likely to least-likely.

1. She's the kid that was born near the beginning of the series (end of mini or end of first episode, can't recall which) whose parents are now dead.

2. She is a human/cylon hybrid, but not Starbuck's.

3. She really is Starbuck's

4. She's actually a young version from the Six line.

The reason I'm finding the human kid idea most-likely is because the whole point of the Sharon/Helo storyline was that the Cylons couldn't figure out how to make a child in the lab. Of course, it's possible they've figured it out in the last year and a half.

new Torchwood promo.

So, clearly, what happened with Who was something like this:

Writer 1: We need to set up Torchwood.
Writer 2: Right. I'm saying Queen Victoria.
Writer 3: Yes! And...and...a werewolf!
Writer 1: A werewolf from space!
Writer 2: Who's allergic to mistletoe!
Writer 1: The Hell, dude?
Writer 2: Trust me. It'll work
Writer 3: Alright. So, a space werewolf who's allergic to mistletoe
Writer 2: And ninjas!
Writer 1: No. Not ninjas...warrior monks...
Writer 3: Scottish Warrior Monks!
Writer 2: Yes! And we'll give them big sticks!
Writer 1: And guns!
Writer 2: This is going to be the best episode ever!

So, clearly, what happened with Who was something like this:

Bwah!

Yes, this was a least-favorite ep. for me - which is saying a whole hell of a lot, because I hates hates hates like Gollum hateses Bagginses the sound of the voices of some of the most popular villains, therefore I have trouble watching Daleks or Cybermen doing their thing, no matter the decade.

The "Royal Family are werewolves" was fun, and I rather liked Rose and the Doctor's whole "OMG! Werewolf!" reaction, but Rose's failure to ever manage to dress era-appropriate, and the "wait...what?" were a bit much. I found it enjoyable, but that may have been the company I had over.

the mere fact that they could have built their city in a woodland paradise a mere hop, skip, and jump away, but chose instead the Slough of Despond means that humanity is doomed.

I don't follow. I have tens of thousands of refugees from a technological society. I need them to build a frontier town, which they have absolutely no training for. Are people going to set up homesteads on uneven terrain where they will first have to clear brush, or on a comparatively flat plain with enough space to land the ships, where they can take advantage of whatever tech they can cannibalize, but are still close to the timber and water?

I don't get why the Cylons should be suspicious of Gaeta, either. The only one who has any knowledge of him is Boomer, and she's not exactly down with the takeover.

And as long as I'm disagreeing... No, it wasn't surprising that Baltar signed the execution order. I thought it was surprising that he hesitated, and that he actually considered dying rather than sign. I thought that was kinda the point.
