KPI reports? I think you misspelled TPS.

Or, you somehow forgot how NOBODY ACTUALLY KNEW IF SHE WAS BULLSHITTING OR NOT haha.

That warmth really helps resolve my complaints from part 1 where his grandiose speech about reunification felt like a pretty arbitrary plot turn.

Caption?

Adama's arc here was disappointingly weightless. It was at the same time too petty of a grudge to divide the fleet over - especially when it turns out apparently the entire crew has just been waiting for him to change his mind on this - and also not heavy enough when he changes his mind about it. One nice monologue…

You're not sleeping with it, are you Ray? …Ohh, *you*…you hound!

Don't get on the One True Santa's naughty list, Gaius.

Let's talk minor characters. Interesting reading the previous review's discussion thread on Dualla's storyline, when she has a couple nice scenes here. Her thinly-veiled-plotting-right-in-front-of-the-guards conversation with Lee was actually pretty fun, and I wouldn't call it completely lacking in chemistry. Then…

Well, I hope you've used these last 3 months to catch up like I did :)

You and Head Six should have a dinner party.

Wait, I thought the ending was the only part considered aggressively, mind-numbingly stupid. Unless you mean just some random one-off episode or two you don't like, which I have heard rumors of…

I liked that Pyramid seemed to have specific rules and moves that someone put some thought into. I disliked that it was a lot like basketball, a real-life dumb game.

I love the music right before that, but when it gets to the drumbeat montage I'm happy to just skip the whole thing.

The version I'm watching…that uh, my cousin loaned me, because he's an editor and was practicing editing…seems to have them cleanly missing from these episodes. I thought maybe the real show removed them for the "Tigh in command" arc, like davidcgc said, but I don't remember.

At the time it was kind of funny, she just kinda drops it in there casually, almost smugly, in the face of Baltar's incredulity. But when you see how frakked up she is later, you remember it different.

The difference between a spoiler-standard post and a non spoiler-standard post:

I can't help but compare Ellen to DS9's (avoiding title) Winn. Except I love to hate Winn's sugary sweet repulsiveness, whereas I just want Ellen off my frakking TV screen every time she shows up. I don't think it's an actress thing, I just see nothing at all interesting about Ellen's character at this point. Half her…

Similarly, I would never condone real spousal abuse, but her drunken scene badgering Saul makes me think "go for it".

I cannot in any way call her "fun". I viscerally hate everything so much that I also hate watching her scenes. That's not fun. There needs to be at least a shred of joy or humor in it for it to be fun, not a constant, grinding, whining, sapping irritation.

So, 15 years after the West Wing scene, the "Parable of the Flood"/"Drowning Man"/"God Will Save Me" story is now all over the internet, with several variations. I can't find a single page that had it published before this episode aired. When I first saw this episode, I assumed it was some Old Story. But I now realize…
