Yeah sorry, I don't think I was clear what I meant: Last season I agree was intended to be more dramatic, but the acting didn't really hold up. Therefore even though this might be less true to life, it's still better TV.

This entire show's concept stopped making sense to me after the Thayer incident.

Can we please have more debating on who's making it debate-y?

Yeah this was unusually weakass as reviews go. I normally don't complain much about review style but the summary just went onnnn…

Trent was on fucking fire in that scene. I love that guy.

I don't think "Eddie" is really capable of carrying the drama of that kind of story so let's just go to "kids say the darndest things" mode. It's actually working out pretty well.

Pumpkinhead for life.

Went back to check. That is weird and great :)

Look, if you think your thinly veiled excuse to brag about your sex life is gonna earn you an upvote, you've already got 12 so nevermind.

This is one of those cases where they've really learned to write so that his awkward delivery really works for them haha.

@forg:disqus I don't think any of the kids are particularly good actors, except Pumpkinhead, but their biggest flaw as characters and as people is that they like hanging around Eddie.

'Inspiration for the "keep 'em separated" lyric came from Dexter Holland's experience in a laboratory cooling Erlenmeyer flasks full of hot liquids.'

Kirodo I like theoretically because I like the two actors, but physically I never really felt any spark there. Dax and Worf did have that pretty sexy "time to come to bed" scene that one time, but on the other hand, their relationship is responsible for that trip to Risa so…

And now that I've rewatched season 1…

Then it's still a deus ex machina, just not a SURPRISE deus ex machina :P

Even in her like 2 minutes of screen time in the season premiere, Ellen manages to transparently stroke his ego and passive-aggressively pressure him to SEIZE THE REINS OF POWER and shit. While Tigh is changing into a uniform without Adama's blood on it. So slappable. To his credit he's weigh too distracted by the…

All of this has been reviewed before, and all of it will be reviewed again.

I was hoping I could think of a single counter-example to prove you not-ENTIRELY-right about Trek. My brain failed me, so I turned to online lists like http://trekmovie.com/2008/0… . Nope. You're right, even the best of it is shit :(

You know, rewatching this, I think the fact that the writers never quite know what to do with him translates pretty well to Apollo not quite knowing what to do with himself. There's just something slightly off about him, he never quite seems to be at peace with who he is. He tells Tigh in these two he doesn't feel at…

Edit: God dammit, it's always the very last possible comment that beats you to the punch.
