No Podcast makes Willravel go crazy!!!!

Stupendis episode. John Heard's Commander Barry Garner did a much better job than Bill Duke's Phelan back on Black market. Note to Battlestar ppl, if you're going the b list celebrity route, be sure your b list celeb can act (and don't write him into a corner). With Apollo as the new CO of the Beast, I doubt we'll see another dead Pegasus Captian. Does this mean Starbuck will be promoted to major over both viper wings?

Ahhh Baltar. Is there a better character in modern entertainment? I doubt it. The only problem I had with it is he didn't take any steps to hide the fact that he was back stabbling President Roslin. Baltar is a coward. Frankly, either his character has grown a great deal of whevos in a very short time, which is possible considering the bomb, or this is a trick. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Spoiler: "Luckely I made the initial calculations on these figures over seven months ago when nobody seemed interested or concerned. All I had to do was factor in the numbers from the Pegasus crew, took me hardley any time at all, and I didn't mind. Look, I'll save you the bother, you neednt read the report. If we continue on our present course, withing the next 18 years the human race will simply be extinct.

and then

Spoiler: "It is true in light of recent events the president may have lost support in some quarters. I would ask the people to understand that if this is an extreme decision, we live in extreme times. The decision has been made with good faith. I, however, cannot in good conscience support it. I am so sorry, madam president, but the cylon have no understanding of the meaning of freedom. How could they? They're programmed. Machines. Every time you take away one of our freedoms, every time you restrict of curtail one of our rights, we take one step closer to being like them. As the Vice President, it's my responsibility to follow the administration. As president, I shall have no such strictures. Given the current situation, I'm afriad that I have no alternative to anounce that I am, as of now, a candidate for the presidency."

That was the quintessential Baltar moment.
