More like DOLT-ar, amirite?

I watched a lot of Battlestar Galactica this weekend, clipping like a madwoman for my maybe-for-Wiscon vid. I had forgotten that the show could easily be subtitled "or How Gaius Baltar Repeatedly Failed at Life and Doomed Humanity." One of his few moments of non-fail -- helping Gina -- was really about him wanting a replacement for Caprica and eventually undermined by his pushy/rapey attitude toward her. Ugh.

Also, plot hole: Why did he give her the nuke, and why did she use it in that way and at that moment?

Postscript: the number of fucks given about Kara/Lee remains infinitesimal.

Ah, thanks! I know her! But yeah, don't think I ever knew her name.

Tbh, the end kinda spoiled it and I don't really want to go back.

Re-watching it is kind of theraputic. I can see where it really and truly went off the rails.

Oh yeah? Where?

I can't tell you when it started, but I do know that by the time you had a "final four" all coming together because "All Along The Watchtower" is an ancient pre-pre-Earth song of Meaning, it had well and thoroughly jumped the shark.

p.s. I MISS ROSLIN

'Round about the middle of season 3 for me. Despite my sick love for the damn torture-threesome plotline, it was fucking absurd and the writers should sit in the corner and think about what they did.
