Mondak, I agree completely with you about the storyline. The good news is according to the latest podcast, the next episode is sort of a cap to all the current threads and story lines. So...new stories, new stuff...coming soon, I guess.
As for Kara...well, here's
my problem with it. First of all, I'm not some purist who thinks that Starbuck should only 'give her virtue to the man she is to marry.'
In fact, I love the tough, punch Apollo in the face, insult the XO, sleep with the doctor Starbuck. She just hasn't been around much lately. Glimpses of her in the 'hospital/farm, ' but not nearly enough.
If Moore had written it as 'two lonely people getting together to fill the void left in them....or two sexy muthas doing the freaky' then that's one thing, but he didn't. Instead Kara's giving the guy a dog tag and promising to come back through a shroud of tears after having known the guy for what..a couple of days? It just felt a bit forced to me.
Sultana, I'm counting the doctor in the number of skin-jobs. So, Aaron Doral (the reporter), Leoben, Six, Sharon and Simon (the doctor) make five. And by the way, I was wrong. It's not 8 different models...it's 12.
