First of all, it's unbelievably awesome, as an old-school BSG fan, to see the flashback to the first Cylon war, with the old-style vipers and FREAKIN' OLD-STYLE CYLONS YAY. It's just... Bill Adama freefalling after ejecting from his smashed viper, I can accept. Cylon that smashed his ship also frefalling, I can accept. Blaster-fight in mid-air while freefalling? Um. NO. Hand-to-hand combat while still freefalling? OH HALE, NO. It's waaay too over-the-top, and I went from squeeing over the original-style Cylons to sort of scowling at my screen at TPTB for, obviously, pandering to the young-male 'love the kickass fightin' and the 'splodey' contingent.

Oh, and? The idea of Admiral Hardass What's-her-name -- who chastized her X.O. for having her uniform tunic unbuttoned after spending 48 hours at her station after the Cylon attack -- getting all smoochy with someone while she's in uniform, in the presence of all of her officers? Is ludicrous. BSG usually does such an excellent job of reflecting realistic military situations, and I can't see how they'd make such a glaring mistake.

*grumbles and hopes it gets better*

Also? I'm imagining what Supernatural (which gets about the same ratings as BSG, I think) would look like if we had BSG's budget, and trying not to be ill with jealousy. *g*

Not at all related, but less than 24 hours after rejoining Freecycle groups in my area, I'm remembering why I left. The multiple offers of puppies, kittens and young lab-mix dogs is downright depressing and, really, people, wtf is up with posting that you're looking for a 27-inch PLUS TV set? And laptops? And working treadmills? And complete sets of furniture? Greedy asshats. *leaves groups again*
