Roslin: her nutty behavior this episode, super stupid right?
Not sure why they keep marginalizing the characters I actually care about (Helo and Athena, Baltar, the Sixes, etc.), and are spending all this time with like Zarek and Gaeta, except they degayified Gaeta, which is annoying.
I have the horrifying suspicion that they don't think those characters are interesting anymore, or can't figure out how to say what they want to say in the plot with them. I feel like that right there should be a BIG RED WARNING SIGN that your TV show has driven off the rails... if you can't find stuff to say for half the main titled cast, you have problems.
Oh! And I loved CrazyAss Baltar and his ever-changing CrazyAss relgion. That ruled.
I like getting to see him, but it annoys me that the rules of his crazyass religion have never been spelled out or made sense. It's like this thing they twisted his character to do - be a preacher, Gaius Baltar! - but didn't really know what good it was to do it.
