And it's strange to me, because I thought Nine was a much lonelier man than Ten is, so I'm a little puzzled that this is the theme they've chosen to play up for Ten -- or at least, for this season.)

But I think Nine is all about the Dr.'s lonliness, whereas with Ten, they're exploring the lonliness of those left behind.

BSG: I just caught the episode and just now realized that Baltar has grown increasingly Jesus-y for a reason: he's right. He's going to engineer a reconciliation between the humans and the Cylons.

Also, someone (sorry, I forgot to write down who) asked about Adama knowing about Hera. I thought he knew, too, but his reaction says that he didn't. Finally, does anyone remember what Amanda Plummer's prophesy to Three was? Was it that she would find love but lose everything she held dear?

That sounds right.

According to Moore's slighty spoilery for the rest of the season interview with Mo Ryan at the Tribune (reg. req'd, blahblahblah), only Roslin and Cottle (ETA, and Roslin's assistant) were in the know about not-dead!Hera.

I was listening to the podcast last night, and found it interesting that Moore originally planned to have Adama find out about Hera's status from Roslin in his quarters and, instead of walking out, going to the bathroom, strip off his shirt, and start shaving, all while completely freezing her out. IMO, that would have given a more intimate shading to their relationship then he's willing to go for at this point, according to that interview. He says that the potential for Laura and Bill to hook up is always there in their minds, but they won't go there while they hold their current positions. The flashback ep from a few weeks ago showed them leaning towards a relationship since she was no longer president and he was just a ship's captain doing guard duty on the planet, but even then they didn't go past a certain point (beyond flirt and smoke pot).

This lj entry from wisteria has a link to what is (apparently) a spoilery interview with Katee Sackhoff. But it also recaps the non-spoilery parts of the interview.

Found at scifi's website:

CBS has given a pilot order to Demons, an hourlong drama from Barbara Hall (Joan of Arcadia) and Joe Roth, about a former Jesuit priest-turned-psychologist who performs exorcisms, Variety reported.

...I would rather have Joan back.

So CBS has branched out from police procedurals to priest procedurals?

Hey, they can't be any more fictional than some of the CSIs--I was watching the Spike rerun last night, and for some reason got really pissed that Catherine and Sara were the ones doing the suspect interrogation, with nary a real cop in sight! They've been doing that for the past few seasons (unless there's a reason for Paul G. to show up), and it's starting to grate even more than their refusal to turn on a damn light to look at a crime scene is.
