I always just thought that Baltar was so scared that someone would find out about how he basically let the cylons hack us, that he was just super paranoid about everything he did. He wanted to lay low, but because he was so brilliant, Roslin and Adama kept leaning on him for knowledge. I think if it was a later season

I think Baltar is super terrified of 6, and is scared to say no to her. Terrified and aroused.

his delivery of the powerful bread lobby line is so beautiful

WorldCom man, WorldCom

Tracy: Bread is one of the worst things in the world, but we’ve always needed it—until now. By burning three different types of meat together, the Tracy Jordan Meat Machine takes bread out of the equation. Now your sandwich is all of the good stuff. (takes a bite out of a burger patty) That’s delicious.

I've been rewatching with the reviews and I cried so hard this episode when Kara and Adama (Sr.) were reunited. Uncontrollable crying.

OMFG there is a Tina Fey Nerdist ep!??! I just started marathoning this podcast (I know, forgive me, I'm late) and now I don't know if I should save it for last or listen to it RIGHT FUCKING NOW

as an alternative you can check out the audiobook version, so you can feel like Tina Fey is personally telling you a story (works great in the car. Road trip! With Tina Fey!)

I can't believe the amount of comedic relief that Gaius provides. Great character

there's an interesting chapter in Bossypants about how Tina Fey realizes that she was just treating her gay friends almost as props when she was young. Having them around to be bitchy with and make jokes, but when it came to them actually being real people (ie. intimacy) she was grossed out. She discusses her

I dunno, they're pretty hot. I'd be in love with either of them too.
but honestly, if it helps, Helo and Sharon were friends before they end up on Caprica together when she 'comes back' for him. At least that gives Helo a bit of a reason.

to be fair, Helo and Athena birthed us all via Hera

what about Liz's date from s1 when Jack thought she was a lesbian (those shoes are definitely bi-curious)? The misunderstanding was mined as a joke, and if anything Liz looked more like the idiot when offering to be her Plan B and to let her 'do stuff to me'. Gretchen was shown as a smart, successful, lesbian, that

almost every character on this show is a caricature of the 'group' they represent though.
If anything, 30 Rock was pretty racist, but in a totally self aware "no other show could get away with this" way

also, Liz's hipster cop gay roommate that she tried to scare into leaving their apartment

I'LL DO IT. BUT ONLY FOR THE ATTENTION

Black Tie and MILF Island are pretty bonkers.

I think I heard in one of the DVD commentary tracks that basically every line Dr Spaceman says in the entirety of the show is actually a joke. Not even setups, just actual jokes.

and it's always in the character's voice. She was never "the mom" to me on HIMYM, she was always "sexy baby"

When you consider the entire show and how it makes fun of all (young, old, nerd, wealthy, liberal, conservative etc.) I think the comment was meant to subvert the assumptions of what a modern women wants/should want and makes a sly comment on what feminism should not be
