My favorite moment by far was the "paper shortage" hysterical laughing. It was pitch perfect.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That it was, Laura.
I'm with Vonnie on this episode. I...don't even feel like posting about it. It just doesn't seem worth it. For frak's sake, Jane even tried to win me over by pushing my Identity Issues button, but it was clumsily done with Kat. And I abso-fucking-lutely disagree that she didn't put any lives but her own in danger by recklessly returning to the fore: she was putting the lives of everyone on that civilian ship in danger. They were her responsibility, and she was likely to vomit in her helmet and die at any time, leaving them stranded.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
she didn't put any lives but her own in danger
I don't even know why that was made into a point. Besides how not-true it is (and what P-C pointed out), all the other Raptor and Viper pilots are in that same position all the time.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Count me in as pretty underwhelmed with the episode, paper-shortage aside (which was great.) And I actually liked Kat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The paper shortage issue addressed how Jane was going to be Jane in BSG. I didn't think it was funny--but totally understood how it was the most hysterical thing in the world for Tigh and Adama.
Had there been any hints of food problems, or was it "And this week, they're hungry!"?
Dislike Kat, remained untouched by her sudden backstory (though passingly curious about Fifth), and in no way sorry she passed. It wasn't a Mineary execution, one where I suddenly end up liking the character before they get splattered all over the walls.

What is even happening?
I don't understand why they went with Jupiter as the husband of Hera. I mean, if it's Hera why not Zeus? And if it's Jupiter why not Juno?
The closed captioning said Zeus. I'm wondering if they changed it to Jupiter, for the planetary considerations.

Nope. It just happened. I had been wondering when the hell it WOULD happen because, come on, where is all this food coming from, but it's never been brought up until now. I actually didn't mind the conceit that much; the Kat thing was a different story.

Art Crawl!!!
Why couldn't there be a planet called Zeus? I mean, are they supposed to be in our system now?
BTW, I hear that there was a fun promo for Heroes after the repeats on NBC last night. (I didn't see it though.)

It wasn't so much this week they're hungry as this week their food supply has been contaminated, so they're hungry. Seemed reasonable to me.

Oh, right, they did suddenly have a reason. Good point.
