I think it is implied that Baltar gave him the note. At least the editing makes it seem that way.

Ugh
Okay, ABC, you seem to be desperately trying to mimic BATTLESTAR GALACTICA with FLASH FORWARD and now this thing called V. But unless you have brilliant writers and plenty of time (such as a four-hour miniseries) to effectively set up intriguing characters and make us care about the events that happen to them,

Familiar plot point
Just recently, I've gotten into the BBC sitcom THE IT CROWD. It's amazing. Couldn't help but feel the "relating to 'real guys' through football" plot was a little too similar to the one in TIC. I know it is a standard trope of nerdom, but the TIC handled it in much cleverer fashion.

Huh… price has dropped to 62… Still too rich and nerdy for my blood.

The BSG toaster is a real thing and I want so more than you'll ever know. Oh if I only had 100 extra bones floating around.

Raid works on everything. Except for pesky PR nightmares and self-aggrandizing album covers.

I dug how Rashida Jones' co-workers all loved Andy.

Strongest of the four tonight
Great plotting, tonally on-target, fantastic one-liners, and amazing performances. I know Louis CK will have to leave this show eventually to go do his own on FX but damn do I love seeing his mug pop up.

was one of the weirdest thing I have heard all week. Also one of the funniest.

The save the day shot and him on the roof brought this episode into new territory.

I loved how the writers played with our perception of Jim (the angry Jim in the first scene giving way to the vindictive Jim who lets Michael humiliate

Totally thought she was going to reference the flashing Michael at the Christmas party from way back when.

She is fantastic. She really shone through in the wedding but little moments like asking Pam to hand her the faxes upside down were brilliant.

Favorite line (paraphrased): "Jim is his own worst enemy. So if the enemy of enemy is my friend, Jim is my friend. But if Jim is own enemy then that means…"

I also missed that. And I missed the gag where Ellie said she was an orphan.

Where does RAPE STOVE: THE STOVE THAT RAPES PEOPLE fall in that scale?

she's buoyed by a shrewd eye for self-promotion
That ain't all she's buoyed by.

I decree
Roman Polanski is now John Ringo.

Who the fuck is The Goose? I have a feeling this will become another "That ain't no Shepherd" intriguing line _meant_ to have all sorts of story but will run into the Great Wall of Cancellation and explode on impact.

FASTLANE, was it? Also known as SILK STALKINGS with lens filters.
