Lisa Fary's earliest influences are Princess Leia, Rainbow Bright, Astronaut Barbie, and her 6th grade teacher, Ms. Palmer. She's angry that it's 2011 and she still doesn't have a hovercraft, but will accept a jetpack as consolation. That jetpack had better be pink with a rhinestone monogram. 5 Comments

There was a revelation in my household last night as we watch BSG. As my husband and son cried for crazy Callie after she was spaced, I sat not really caring. She’s always been a little unstable, what with doing the Jack Ruby thing on Boomer and being totally ok with it after Galen beat the shit out of her. They both looked over at me and realized…I am a cylon.
Wow…
@Nancy – good points I hadn’t considered before. I was kind of upset about losing Callie because I’ve consistently liked her and she always – until this episode, anyway – seemed like the sole bright spot of the show. (I didn’t cry, though).
I have to admit, I have been disappointed with the behavior of most of the characters on BSG this season, men and women. I can kind of understand about ‘The Four’ who just found out they’re robots; they have good reason to be acting a little weird. The rest of them don’t really have as much excuse. Sure, conflict is the heart of great drama… but characters acting out-of-character takes away the realism of the fictional world, and that’s bad TV.
Couldn’t agree more. Although, this has been happening gradually with the females in the previous seasons, they certainly stepped it up in spades with this one. I guess once good ‘ol Roz pretty much reduced them to baby makers (via her personal endorsement) there wasn’t much hope for more interesting aspects. They really lost their braintrust and respect when they got rid of billy. I am keenly aware of that right about now.
I honestly felt Condi was going to be one of the more standout characters, but that glimmer has since faded away. The real sad thing is, they didn’t do anything very exciting with the women skinjobs to boot…they either want skeevy DID baltar or pursuing the true love of an infant themselves. I was much more fond of Razor and the introspection being delivered there, seems the extra minutes gives way to much needed fleshing out and involvement. 45 min. is mired in the reveal > discovery > kill focus.
So all along, the male & female skinjobs could have been having superbabies…guess they should have hung onto Anders when they had the chance!
