By the second hour, I got most of the main character\u2019s names. Their relationships I got immediately, but names take a bit longer. I wanted to complain that there were too many characters, but I\u2019m a huge Song of Ice and Fire fan and that series has a million and one characters and I know their names and their houses and their ranks and their crests, so I guess I can handle a shipful of characters.<\/li>\n<li>Kara Thrace &#8211; Everyone loves Starbuck. I mean really, really loves Starbuck. I like her so far, but I\u2019m not crazy in love just yet. It\u2019s just the beginning though.<\/li>\n<li>President Roslin &#8211; now her, I love. What a HBIC. She\u2019s 43rd in line and still becomes president. She was the Secretary of Education, she wasn\u2019t ready for this and at no point did she ever think she\u2019d become president. And then she just steps up to the plate and is amazing at it. Lee goes to stop her and then he\u2019s like nope not messing with her she\u2019s in charge yes ma\u2019am madam president.<\/li>\n<li>I like Lee\u2019s face. That is a nice face.<\/li>\n<li>I love the Earth myth. At first I thought this was some sort of post-earth world. That we screwed things up and humanity had to go out into the stars, a la Firefly or Doctor Who. But then we find out that humanity exists completely separate from Earth and that Earth itself is just a myth, a promise Commander Adama makes to placate what\u2019s left of the population.<\/li>\n<li>I also love how the Galactica only survives because it\u2019s outdated and was going to be turned into a museum. Those things didn\u2019t get the update and therefore weren\u2019t compromised.<\/li>\n<li>Fucking Gaias. Oh my god this guy. He\u2019s so narcissistic and dumb, but a genius and you can\u2019t hate him even though so much of this is his fault because he thinks with his penis. He\u2019s the Oh, Honey of BSG.<\/li>\n<li>Damn. Boomer is a cylon. That\u2019s such a cool twist, because she\u2019s been painted so far as the humane one. The one who decides to take refuges even though her ship can\u2019t hold much. The one who takes in the kid after his parents die. And she\u2019s the robot.<\/li>\n<li>I would watch a show that was nothing but Tricia Helfer talking to the screen. That is all.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>analyticaddict: I promised a quick post of my thoughts and comments on the miniseries\/first two episodes of BSG, so here goes.
