geebsTV Commentary:
Okay, that was a confusing ep of Terminator: SCC. So, it ends up that the whole sleep center place was the dream, and she really did get captured by that one guy who shot her? And all those sequences with them talking was for real? So what, they really did grab him and patch him up, but only after Sarah managed to get away and drive herself to the hospital (I assume so, otherwise they would grabbed her when they grabbed him) but before Weaver showed up slashing throats and blowing the place up?

On FNL, did I see that right? How could Tim, Lyla, and Buddy meet her siblings at the gate?! You're not allowed back there without a ticket! Speaking of Tim and Lyla, its interesting to see them all civil and hanging out with Jason. I mean, its kinda weird, isn't it? She basically moved from one guy to the other, and I would think that would make for some awkwardness in tender situations like when Jason made Tim that highlight reel. So Jason will prolly move to NY to become a sports agent?
Oh, and Tim closed the curtains on Jason, Herc, and Billy arguing, but hey, it might've worked in their favor, people hearing about poor cripple Jason just wanting to have enough money so he can see his son, and Billy about to get married and all that. Then again, it just might make the customers realize how desperate they are.
JD's dad is a dick. And I can't believe that fullback kid's parents did not know he was on the football team! That's un-possible, as they even admit football is pretty huge in Dillon. Especially if he's vital to the team even though we've never seen him before. Where do they think he goes Friday nights? And what about practices?
Ah, and poor Landry. He misinterprets Devon's cheering up as an interest in him. So he kisses her and she doesn't freak out, so he's in. And then he goes and asks Tyra if they can be friends again and that he has a new girl now. Boy, will he have egg on his face if she brings it up. But yeah, Devon is apparently a lesbian. Even worse, the reason she didn't pull away in disgust when he kissed her because she thought he was a nice guy and see if maybe it would work with him. Nope. So the hot girl who was way out of league dumps him, and now a girl basically says, "I wasn't sure I was a lesbian, but after kissing you, I definitely am!" And gag me, Tami actually gave him the whole "your life is just starting, you're smart and get so much ass in college while these dumb jocks will be working at Mickey D's!" I mean, she's correct about it being the beginning of his life and he shouldn't let that crap let him down because all that stuff that seems important now will be ridiculous and meaningless after college. But he won't necessarily be having to beat the girls off with a stick after he graduates!

Whoa, that was a crazy ep of BSG. Interesting, so I guess they did lose a number of pilots to the mutiny. Are they just sitting in the brig or something now? And how weird is that, that they have 6s and 8s in the briefing room, running patrol with the humans. And weird, it looked like there were multiple 6s there, but they would refer to a "Six", but wouldn't that start to get confusing?
I figured they were going for a whole Starbuck was hallucinating the piano player thing. But after a while, I thought maybe the guy was there, because even though no one interacted with him, she was reacting overtly to him. Although maybe Gaius got them used to that sort of thing. But once it seemed like the guy was very much like her father, then I was sure it was definitely her imagination. Interesting, so Kara's dad used to play Watchtower on the piano when she was a kid? So is he possibly Daniel? Though they have a pic of him on that album cover in the end, if it was him, you'd think Ellen would be all, "That's Daniel!"
But now onto the meat and potatoes of the ep. So the Cylons get representation on whatever new version of the quorum they have going on, a six named Sophie. And her first act is to request extradition of Boomer. At first, the Prez and Adama think its because they want to protect her since she was gonna be put on trial for putting a couple of bullets in Bill. But nope, they wanted to try her for treason for siding with Cavil.
But wow, what a frakking krant!! She totally had me fooled. I mean, I fell for the whole, "I'm so broken, why won't anyone love me!" thing. I did not expect what happened at all. I mean, she starts projecting with Chief, of them living in their dream house with a family. So he knocks out some random Eight working on the Galactica repairs, and switches her with Boomer. Boomer quickly jumps Athena in the bathroom, switches clothes with her, then ties her up and makes her watch while as she fraks Helo. Isn't that a little over the top? I mean, I don't think she actually did that part on purpose, at least not initially. I think Hera was her main mission, and Helo cornered her in the locker room feeling all frisky (the horny bastard!), she thought what the hell? Obviously, she's not a big fan of Athena, given that she replaced her in the fleet, and everyone loved her.
But then she grabs Hera. Like when she started hauling a box to a raptor, I was all, "Holy crap, she did not just do what I think she's doing?!" But nope, Hera was in there. So, they can't shoot her down when they figure out she's Boomer, so Adama tries to trap her by retracting the flight pods, but its too late. Boomer manages to barely squeeze out, damaging her Raptor. Then she jumps, the backlash ripping into the already damaged Galactica. Meanwhile, Rosalin somehow sensed Hera's kidnapping and collapses after Boomer jumps away with Hera.
And how is the Chief not frakked? I mean, who else would've been able to pull the whole switcheroo? And they would've figured out the one chick wasn't Boomer, where did he think she could go, was he gonna hide her? And I'm confused, when Boomer did show up on the flight deck, he knew it was her, right? So didn't that mean he had to know she did something to Athena? I can understand him knocking out some random Eight, because its not like he knows her (and I realize how much of a sociopath that makes me sound), but he knows Athena. When she was disguised as Athena, he had to know something bad happened. Oh, and who the frak is he to be asking personal favors from the president?! They're not exactly friends. I dunno, it seems to be a weird thing to ask.
Ah, but the Galatica is in really crappy shape now, and while the show is ending, it never occurred to me that Galactica would end up falling apart/being destroyed at the end.
