BSG301/302 Notes
Warning: Spoilers Just a couple notes of interest that I hadn't mentioned previously: Lee Adama is wearing his old pilot's wings instead of the "senior" pilots wings (the one that looks like Adama's wings) seen in LDYB I & II.Helo and Hoshi obviously now have the same hair stylist. Heh. The makeup artists and costuming need to be a bit more careful in the make-up for Fat Lee. There was some questionable parts here and there that looked kind of bad.Lee's hair. Heh. 'Nuff Said.Adama's hair. See Lee.So we have a dog on New Caprica, presumably more. Not be disgusting...
BSG301/302: The Cylon Edition
Warning: Spoilers Again more ramblins on the characters in 301/302 The Cylon Edition Okay I was going to list them as I had in previous editions until I realized that in and of itself might be considered mildly spoilerish to some. So they're all under a single cut. Gaius Baltar Baltar, Baltar, Baltar. I don't know which emotion holds more sway over me with regard to Balter: pity or disgust. I'd feel more sorry for him being in the difficult position he is in if not for the fact that he knows terrible things are going on but tries to...
