Battlestar Galactica viewing update: Done!

BIG FRAKKING SPOILER ALERT

I've scooped my brain back into my head and I'm slowly regaining the ability to think about things other the final five (now down to possibly one) and whether Starbuck's real or just in Apollo's head the way Six and Baltar are in one another’s.

Everyone's right: the show is fan-frakking-tastic (yeah, I'm gonna use "frak," deal with it). Remember when Starbuck bugged me? Yeah, me neither. Love her. Love the hair, love the tats, love that she's a complete dude. Off shoot of my Starbuck love: Sam. Love! And you know what? Tory and Seelix need to step the frak off.

You know who I wanna be when I grow up? President Laura Roslin. Sometimes she makes horrible calls: "Let's pretend Hera's dead," "Biological weapons? Don't mind if I do!" but she's such a bad ass! Ooh... except I don't really wanna have terminal cancer or all those weird visions. They seem like a drag. Also a drag, being betrayed on the stand my Lee for the sake of justice. I agreed with his rationale, but when she quietly reminded him of the trust they once shared, Mary McDonnell plucked out my heart and slammed it to the ground. Then she took her sensible shoes and stomped the life out of it with the declaration that she's not a druggie, bitch; her cancer's back.

In addition to the cylon-mindfrak, you know what caught me off guard? The realization that Billy is Will from Nobody's Watching. Who frakking knew?

Okay, that was one too many fraks. I'll stop...

I nearly died when she was on the stand and she said in that small voice "please don't do this." Broke. my. heart. Then she went all I am woman, hear me roar on him and bitchslapped that Lee (who, unfortunately, I can't hate for making a sensible closing argument) with her "I have cancer, bitch". Why is it that for cable shows we have to wait so much longer for a new season than network shows? That's the one downside to cable, although on the flipside, the extra time could mean extra time to sort out the stories. Let's hope. TIGH, realy?! How does that work out?
