You know, I feel kind of stupid because I forgot about Nicky, too. As a viewer, I'm allowed to forget about the child: but his father isn't. So, yeah. I'm suddenly much less sympathetic to Tyrol.

I finally caught up with BSG!

Nicky doesn't really color my view of Tyrol very much. I have it in my head that Nicky was a mistake of the writers and the Hot Dog affair was just writing Nicky out of the plot. I think they would have been better off to not have Tyrol as one of the FF and avoided the awkward Nicky problem.

You know, Tory could have airlocked Nicky and Callie at the same time. You would think she would know he wasn't half-Cylon (the reason I'd assumed she saved him in the first place).

I dunno, do you think they would want to do something dark like that on BSG?

See - I almost said something about how dark that would be but on BSG it would just be another event. Plus, it would make Tory really bad.

Heh.

I think they wanted to preserve Tory as somewhat morally ambiguous, so no airlocking of toddlers allowed.

I am definitely on the same wavelength. Maybe I repressed how utterly annoying and entertainment-sucking I found his character in the previous run, but it took me by surprise in the season premiere.

He was already getting on my last nerve at the end of last season, but the introduction of some mythology compensated for the drag. This episde felt like back to square one.

Also, so very tired of Sam having to constantly coddle and apologize to Andi, something I'd hoped was a thing of the past once she knew about the existence of the supernatural and its role in his life.

This also. At least it looks like they potentially finished that trope off. If they bring back the gay demons and anti-Satan conspiracy, and the attendant plot possibilities they brought the last time, I may stick with it. Also, they've got the stuff with Sam's dad out there hanging.

I'm glad I read the comments here before I watched Reaper. I looked much more critically at what they gave Sock to do and was more offended by the circumstance than the character. The whole 'hot sister' thing was so incredibly overblown. I'm not sure what else the character could have done sort of confessing a labotomy.

Perfectly predictable behavior from the beginning of season one. I wonder who told the writers that his evolution into a smarter, less oafish character would be bad for ratings (or whatever), because it really didn't work. I loved him a little there at the end, but now? Eh.

We had annoying interference on that channel that seemed to go on for at least the first 15 minutes, so I couldn't stand to watch Reaper last night. I'm thinking it wasn't any loss.

Blood Ties - season one is coming out on dvd in June.

Woo hoo! British LoM to be released on dvd in the US in July!!
