dangermousieGood episode, though I liked last week's better.
Dee, shame on you. Nothing wrong with falling for Lee or not wanting to marry Billy. But you shouldn't lead the guy on and let him propose if you are interested in someone else. You can't control how other people feel about you, but you can control how you treat them. So boo!
Hostage takers? Welcome to crazy land. You want a Cylon so you will hold and potentially kill some people? Great.
Also, Lee is so clever, with the dry ice and spotting the chick and everything. But he looks bettr in uniform.
I am very interested in the uneast but close alliance between Adama and Sharon. I love the fact that no matter how human she appears (baby kicking etc) she nontheless comes across as other. And I like that Tigh points out Adama's involvement. And the fact that Sharon is still not human nor wants to be, she is Cylon as her refusal to tell who the other models are points out. She will do things to save herself and her baby and Helo, but she has no interest in the human race.
I also love the fact that Kara's (she gets extra involved when she knows Lee is a hostage) tendency to go top-gunning half-cocked by the seat of her pants (how many catchphrases can I fit in?) really resulted in serious consequences this time: she shot her best friend. Something was bound to go wrong sooner or later after all. I love the look on her face when she sees Lee go down: she is stunned so much that it allows the hostage takers to get the upper hand. She looks like she is falling apart. And when she calls Adama and tells him Lee went down wounded by friendly fire and it might have been her: she says it like she can't hold it in and can't believe it and she is crying. And the incredulous look on Lee's face as he goes down? My favorite part of the ep. The scene at the end with Dee at his bedside and Starbuck in the background, not daring to come in is a neat reversal of the scene at the end of the ep where Lee confides to Kara about his death wish and Dee is the outsider listening in, unwanted.
Oh, and Bily died. Woe. I guess. I was never too invested in him. Roslin's reaction to his death was incredibly moving.
