We've already had enough Shyamalan intrusion on this universe, thank you.

I'd like to see Wu learn enough over the season to realize that he's totally unqualified to rule AND that hereditary rulers aren't a great idea. When he gets a real coronation, his first (and only) official act will be to announce that he is forming a Parliament.

Maybe Wu takes Mako's last speech to heart, tries to turn himself around, and starts to gather supporters? That could indeed make him a threat.
More importantly, any enemy of Kuvira's would be able to use the "supporting the true king" line as a justification to oppose her.

I'm personally rooting for some sort of supernatural Manhattan Project analogue.

I'll take half of them never showing up again if the other half are at the level of Root.

I had forgotten about that random caller. I hope the show runners have too; he was boring.

I must admit, I was really hoping Dominic would actually turn out to be Samaritan, even if it wouldn't have made any sense.

Fitzsimmons eventually grew into a likable duo, it just took most of a season. Hopefully these two can get there faster, because stoner inventor dude is really getting on my nerves.

Eh, I usually just open their crappy player in the background, mute it, the watch the downloaded version. I get a good experience, they get ad views. Everyone wins.

Yeah, in the real world that would end with Uncle Nolan reading a news story about the cop who kneecapped 4 civilians in a week.

I'm guessing we'll have the Machine's view for "irrelevant" episodes and Samaritan's for episodes where it is somehow involved.

Gladius would be the appropriate term, I do believe.

You humans are all racist.

Covert Affairs didn't really get good until Season 3, where it jettisoned the boring characters and became a lot more serialized.

(SPOILERS)
I still feel like they totally dropped the ball with Starbuck at the end. The finale wasn't terrible, but the resolution was a bit mediocre. Maybe I don't hate it as much as I probably should because I'd been warned it was crap before I watched it and was able to get my expectations down.

There were some bits of The Plan that were actually decent (The bits about Simon, and some of the insight into Cavil's mind). The parts where they filled in the blanks of the earlier episodes were complete and total shit, however. These questions didn't need to be answered.

I think BSG: The Plan eventually revealed the truth about "Shelly." It was rather disappointing. Much like the rest of that movie.
