The podcast was kind of depressing this week, because I think their original idea for the episode was much more interesting than the Racism is Bad, Especially The Eugenics Kind ep they ended up with. If the Saggitarons aren't going to be an ongoing plot, why not trim down that side of the ep, and leave in more Helo character development moments?

I did like the scene in the bar, even if the "Boy, Saggitarons suck, don't they? Did we mention that they're the colony we all think SUCKS?" dialogue was pretty heavy-handed. It was the first time in forever Dee's had a scene that wasn't about being married to Lee Adama.

I just wanted so badly for the doctor's storyline to have some kind of twist to it. Even if it was just that he was experimenting on them (instead of flat-out poisoning), or that he was giving them the right treatment, but the interactions with their own herbal remedies turned out to be deadly. Something. Anything.

I'm listening to the podcast now.

Part of me thinks that they didn't just ditch this episode because they got Bruce Davison to guest in it.

Dresden Files: Folks over at TWOP are wondering what I was -- is Heather the Werewolf INSTEAD of Susan the Vampire ? I guess we will see.

Fay makes me laugh.

Actually, Fay, there's a small assortment of messy painful noncon involving demon possession in the show. Check out Destina on LJ, and the WIP that Kroki_refur is posting to supernaturalfic. Destina's is really good; I'm sort of witholding judgment on KR's until I can tell where it's going (if they end up in a happy pile of Wincest I'm going to be cranky).

That was the first episode of Dresden Files I've watched, and never having read the book(s?), I enjoyed it, and didn't care about the lycanthropy canon.

I liked BSG, but I kept thinking, "I think this line's mostly filler." Still? Helo pretty. Like Helo.

Well, Harry was particularly hot in this episode - what with the power sharing thing and the sniffing.

Hey, maybe that was Scifi's Valentine's Gift to us: Hot Harry; Shirtless Helo.

Oh, and if these civilians are from the ship's lost during The Passage -- wouldn't they already be on Galactica? Because my understanding is that the passengers on the ships were transferred to Galactica for the passage and then moved back to their own ships afterward. Except where their ships were lost.

I didn't understand what the hell all those people were doing on Galactica in the first place. Because they yet again put a scene in a Previously that we NEVER SAW IN AN ACTUAL EPISODE.

I know racism is bad, but I thought the episode was pretty good anyway. At least the A plot was more interesting than the last episode's focus on the Quadrangle of Doom.

I thought that the scenes with Sharon and Caprica and Head!Baltar was excellent. Also - the people watching Caprica interact with Head!Baltar in the security monitors. . . I suppose that means that they are going to see the extent to which Baltar interacts with Chip!Six on the monitor as well.

Did you guys notice Hera's Viper Mobile? (Because I didn't and I must see it.)

I suppose that means that they are going to see the extent to which Baltar interacts with Chip!Six on the monitor as well.

I get RDM's reasons for not including a line about that from Roslyn, but personally I would have loved a throwaway exchange between her and Tori to the effect of "You know, Baltar's been talking to himself in his cell too." "Huh. Freaks."
