Despite the BADFIC aspects of Andromeda I still get more enjoyment out of it than I did out of, say, Enterprise.

Interesting BSG -- when the Chief confronted Boomer at the end I was sure that he was a dead man.

I think he may be anyway, Sumi. (Which is just as well, as I'm not terribly fond of the actress playing Boomer, but maybe turning her evil will help.)

Well, given that it looks like Boomer is going to kill Helo you know, anytime, now I think that is a given, isn't it? Plus, the whole, she's a Cylon thing tends to make her evil first. Are there going to be any non-evil Cylons, do you think?

Until she knows she's a Cylon, she's not evil yet, I think. I mean, the one on Caprica is, but not the one on Galactica.

You mean that the things that she is doing w/o knowing she is doing them (I suppose it's like sleepwalking) - what the ultimate reasons for them - she (human part of Boomer) is not really responsible for ? That she didn't make that choice consciously? But that when that happens she will be evil?

I think we're talking about two different things here. Right now, Boomer unaware that she's a Cylon and acting basically scared and confused all the time is boring. When she's activated, and consciously sabotaging things, she may get interesting.

I liked Captain Adama's dissolution of the tribunal. Basically the same thing Picard did in TNG, without the long speech.

It was a trope, but a well-handled trope.

I thought the dissolution of the tribunal was a little tidy for me. Much the same way the resolution of the hostage situation was too tidy.

Still, I liked the episode, and loved the way Adama walked out of the room.

I like Boomer, but I'm crushing on Grace Park, so that may have something to do with it. What I want to know is, what's the point of stringing Helo along, back on Caprica? It's not like he knows the location of the Galactica, or where they were headed. What's that plot all about? (Not that I dislike it, I'm just trying to figure out what's going on over there)

Also, my roommate was asking -- did they establish a solid reason for Baltar seeing Number Six all the time? Like a chip in his head or something?

Also also? I thought we weren't whitefonting episodes that have been broadcast.

Sorry.

I've been wondering whether one of the Boomers will have some sort of crisis when she is at the point of having to do something to whichever person who cares for her she is with. Caprica!Boomer -- I'm a little bit sad that we didn't see her becoming aware of what she is -- but maybe this Boomer always knew -- where Galactica!Boomer has a split between the cylon stuff and the human stuff. (You know -- in her programming.)

did they establish a solid reason for Baltar seeing Number Six all the time? Like a chip in his head or something?

I remember a scene where Six was taunting him about that. She said it was because he has either a psychotic break or a chip in his head but she's not telling which.
