I don't know who the heck is playing Baltar, but he's such a ringer for Alexander Siddig, I do a little double-take whenever I look at him.

I actually had to go IMDB for the actor, because I knew it wasn't Siddig, but... I just had to make sure. It's distracting. I think his name is James Callis. Something like that.

I thought 33 rocked. I think I remember liking the mini OK, but not being bowled over. But the first ep of the season? I really liked it. I was surprised how much.

I thought it was Siddig at first, too. I was disappointed to be wrong.

I like what I've seen so far, and I think it has a chance with talent like Olmos and McConnell anchoring it. I love the soundtrack.

Alexander Siddig should be added to the Stargate cast. Maybe Janet's replacement...

McConnell continues to shine, I think. She's just great. And while I don't think I thought poorly of Grace at any point, I think she does some good work in the later eps, so you may see that as an improvement.

Alexander Siddig should be added to my personal life.

Agree re: McDonnell. I liked her at the beginning, and it just keeps going. Gotta say, not all that much love for Starbuck yet. And, well, I love EJO pretty much always.

I love Roslin. She's probably my favorite character of the lot, which is saying a lot because I like most of them quite a bit. McConnell is doing an amazing job, and so is EJO.

I like Starbuck. Of course, I've never seen the original so her being a woman doesn't bother me. The bit with Lee and the stimulant pills was adorable, I gotta say. I'm not quite at the place where I'd want fic for these two, but gimme more scenes like that, and I might.

As for Grace Park--she's had a more substantial role in ep 2, and acquitted herself decently, but I feel like... I dunno, she should have been more desperate and tortured, you know? I think a large part of it is because the actor who plays Tyrol is (I think) very good--in the reunion scene during the mini, for example, there was such look of incredible relief and joy on his face while Boomer looked just kind of glad--that she suffers in comparison.

Also, I'm loving the relationship between Roslin and Lee. She's part his commander-in-chief, part co-conspirator, and part surrogate-mother, and there is such lovely warmth between these two.

Wahh. Want next episode now.

Wahh. Want next episode now.

The first ten or more are available via bittorrent.

I'm enjoying Roslin and Lee, and also Baltar and the blonde Cylon. Uh, for different reasons. I also like Roslin's assistant guy. I'm holding off final judgement on Starbuck. I mean, I've seen through 11, and I still don't love her. I'm not sure what it is. I don't dislike her in a Teyla way or anything. There's just... something. I can't tell whether it's the actress, the character, or the portrayal. Not because she's a woman, though. I didn't really watch the first one enough to be outraged by gender switches.

Speaking of Teyla. I saw the latest Atlantis. Her hair did not bother me.

That blonde Cylon has me captured. I dunno -- it's not that she's twitching my Kinsey, but I can't but think of feline strength and the resultant sexiness when I see her.

That blonde Cylon has me captured.

I just happened to get a link about her from a friend of mine this afternoon. Her name is Tricia Helfer.
