I like IO9's Best New Characters of the Decade, especially Gaius Baltar and Donna Noble:

And talking of people you can't rely on, Battlestar Galactica's Baltar may have been chosen by God/The Gods/Some Higher Power/Ronald D. Moore to lead humanity towards its new home, along the way discovering a spiritual side, falling in love and growing as a human being, but that wasn't why we loved him so much. No, with Baltar, it was all about the weasel. Whether he was trying to maneuver himself into even greater positions of power, trying to stay alive after surrendering the colonies to the cylons on New Caprica or just trying to seduce whatever character had caught his attentions that week, Baltar was never better than when he was being weak and giving in to his worst impulses. James Callis' performance was one of the best things throughout the entire series, giving us a character that we Loved To Hate To Love, as well as some of the few moments of genuine comedy throughout the entire run. You just know that he'd have given up that whole farming thing within a month of the finale, don't you?

She didn't fall in love with the Doctor. It's worth repeating: She didn't fall in love with the Doctor. After Rose and Martha, that fact alone made this particular Doctor Who companion feel like a breath of fresh air, but there was so much more to her than that: Her enthusiasm, and heart. Her ability to say the wrong thing in almost any occasion. Her self-confidence, misplacing in many ways, but making her feel like the Doctor's peer and friend instead of someone who believes everything he says and puts him on a pedestal (Catherine Tate deserves all credit for making that charming and irritating at once). Given her (intentionally) annoying first appearance in "The Runaway Bride," it's surprising that Donna turned into the companion I'll miss most from this new run, but it's definitely true; her exit was heartbreaking, entirely fitting and proof that Russell T. Davies loved her too much to kill her off. I'm selfishly hoping she survives "The End Of Time," too.

Ugh, I hated Baltar. Well, I kinda enjoyed him well enough at the start, and then things kinda started to slip when he kept the secret about Boomer being a Cylon. By the time he slid through mustache-twirling evil into pimp-cult-overlord I couldn't take him anymore.

It's a sadly short list. Agree or disagree, I thought there should be more people on it.

Oh, and Zoe.

I grew to hate Baltar. He just didn't make sense to me towards the end.

Loved Donna.

I HATED Baltar. I am still disappointed we didn't witness the character getting airlocked.

I liked the character and never really grew to hate him, but he was more interesting in the first season.

I think one of my favorite moments from BSG was Lee's defense of Baltar from the witness stand - that was some really impressive acting mojo he had going on, and it was an unexpected turn for me in terms of how they were going to resolve that trial.

I miss BSG.

We watched 33 the other day and I was shocked at how good it was. I miss early BSG. When Starbuck was awesome and Lee was a pilot. Although the trial was good.

I miss BSG.

I wasn't as gung-ho as many watchers here, but the finale cured me of any lingering fondness. I'm not sure I can watch the stuff I'd previously enjoyed without being mad.

Yeah, I am ita in this regard. I am infinitely retroactively mad, I think.

Just finished watching "BSG: The Plan."

I am now going to pretend I've never seen it, so as to not sully my BSG love.

I miss early BSG.

It did get mired in its own mythos, although I liked most of the finale. I think if they'd stuck with 13 episodes per season, it would have raised the average quality enormously. Come to think of it, there are still probably 4 or 5 episodes I've never watched in full, because I saw enough to know they were dreadful.

But I watched the Caprica pilot on Hulu the other night and was rather impressed overall. I particularly liked the fact that the Cylon religion is literally the belief system of a sulky, too-smart-for-her-own-good teenager.

And I talked to a friend tonight who's got 4 episodes of Galactica left to watch. Apparently he predicted that Dualla was going to die about a second before she shot herself (he didn't expect his prediction to come true quite that quickly). So he was pleased that he finally understands how the show works.

I should probably give The Plan a try, because everyone hating it might mean that I'll find it delightful in some inexplicable way. I don't try to be contrary; it just works out that way.
