Yeah, and Lee could start talking to that blond chick that probaby got blown up, on Caprica. Chief could start talking to Dead Boomer. Roslin could talk to Billy.

It bothers me that she's useless, because she wasn't in S1. She used to be an engineer in her own right, not just the Chief's main source of angst.

I still find it terrifically random how they got together. It is almost less plain to me than Dee/Apollo.

Seemed pretty straightforward to me. I mean, if you think, like I do, that she shot Boomer out of jealousy (which makes a lot more sense than anything else) and see the Chief as settling for the one who wanted him rather than the one he wanted. Who else is he going to marry? Roslin's aide?

That said, I don't like the character much and was hoping that yesterday would be the last we saw of her.

You know, I don't even know if the Council even acknowledges that Justin was evil.

I seem to remember Book!Morgan saying "we have only your word for that" when Harry reminded him that it was self defense. I thought of it as a situation where they had no reason to believe it wasn't, but also no evidence to believe that it was.

That makes sense.

I lent my mum the first book, so I can't give it another read to check (I'm rereading Full Moon and loving it, especially now that I've learned when to skip the "in case you haven't read all the other books where I describe my car, Murphy, my cat, etc." descriptions.)

I don't know, Corwood. Maybe I'm having trouble with the psychotic beating-as-ice breaker.

Never got Cally/Chief, never got D'Lee. It's not that they're both unhealthy relationships, there's just nothing there to make me believe that despite all the unhealthiness, there is a spark of love hidden beneath.

okay, you made me get up and check Storm Front.

According to the book, Harry says "my claim that I had been attacked first couldn't be contested by my master's corpse, so they put me on a kind of accelerated probation: One strike and I was out"

the other interesting thing about Book!Morgan is that Harry says that he's not very smart, and incapable of independent thought and rationalization, which TV!Morgan seems to be.

my evil plan worked!

According to the book, Harry says "my claim that I had been attacked first couldn't be contested by my master's corpse, so they put me on a kind of accelerated probation: One strike and I was out"

So basically what you said before. No evidence either way.

the other interesting thing about Book!Morgan is that Harry says that he's not very smart, and incapable of independent thought and rationalization, which TV!Morgan seems to be.

Which means that, unless this is Harry's personal perception that is wrong, Morgan, for all his law-abide-yness, can be directed and manipulated, so long as he thinks he's still working within the rules.

I think I remember later we learn (possibly Harry's opinion/perception again) that Morgan is burnt out, that he's a good cop who's done his job for so long that he's become somewhat jaded and hard. That even though he does his job to the letter of the law, he's lost some of his humanity, his compassion.

Which means that, unless this is Harry's personal perception that is wrong, Morgan, for all his law-abide-yness, can be directed and manipulated, so long as he thinks he's still working within the rules.

right. Which is unlike TV!Morgan, who says that the council is flexible with the demons. (or whatever, don't make me undelete and check)

I don't know, Corwood. Maybe I'm having trouble with the psychotic beating-as-ice breaker.

Oh, I get that. I don't like it, but I get it and it's part of my problem with Callie. Let me make it clear that I think the Chief isn't a person who would beat a woman without a nervous breakdown, but I think Callie is exactly the kind of girl who would marry the guy who put her in the hospital.
