So. Escape Velocity.
Ellen! God, someone give Michael Hogan some sort of award.
Oh. I kind of forgot Cally died.
Now - normal Colonial funeral - does the spose usually conduct the -
LEE AND TORY ARE SITTING NEXT TO EACH OTHER. WHOOOOO. HOOK UP, YOU TWO. Because I still feel it would be AWESOME. Also Lee's hair got long fast.
- anyways, does the spouse usually eulogize? Hmm.
Calandra. Pretty.
Oh Laura. "I wanted you to know what I like." Kinky. (I AM GOING TO HELL. Toodles.)
Ok, seriously, where are they getting all of these clothes?
Annnnnnnd I think Tyrol just got switched on, what with becoming Mr. Grabby Hands with the OTHER SECRET CYLONS.
Wait. Hera's on the Galactica? Do they have some sort of daycare where she and Nicky hang out and trade "yeah., we're hybrids, we're cool" glances across the room?
To quote Tigh - Whoa. Ellen.
Oh. Tigh with Nicky!
This confrontation between the remaining cylons is important, I think. Why'd they take Anders away?
Tory's hair looks better. Did she get Lee's leftover hair product? And what, other than murder, has Tory discovered she can do? Oh, I hope they can fly or something.
Seriously. I have questions about why Kara and Baltar are so sexually attractive to the cylons, and to each other. Is it a special pheremone?
Has Tory been pulling her hair out? Is that why it's less full?
Oh. EJO directed. I am amused at the thought of him directing Rekha Sharma and James Callis in that scene. "Okay, Rekha, it doesn't look enough like you're actually giving him a blow job, so get in there!"
Oh, please don't kill Racetrack. She's too pretty.
- Please don't kill her please don't kill her, please don't kill her, - hey have we ever seen pilots walking there, on the flight deck? Huh. Anyways, don't die! Oh fuck. I am pissed now. Jesus.
- OH! THEY MADE IT! How, I don't know. I AM PLEASED.
- Seriously, how did they survive that? Also, is Racetrack the Cag? Because that would be awwwwwesome.
I really like the idea of the 'old gods' fighting back. I always liked the Kobol stuff.
Jesus in the temple with the moneychangers, much, Baltar? And now that the Jesus beard and hair is gone.
That is not the most flattering tank on Tricia.
Reasons I always suspected Tigh was a cylon:
1. His name. Saul. Like Paul, in the Bible, before his conversion.
2. The whole D'anna "I'm so sorry" bit. Clearly Tigh and his eye.
Where did they get Laura's wig? From Lee's clothing shop?
- Also, she does look like Cain in Baltar's cell with the wig and without her glasses.
- Do you suppose the wig was Cain's?
"Hey Admiral" ? That seems a little informal.
Oh. Chief. Ouch. OUCH. OUCH. Good god, Galen.
- Can we assume he actually did love her, because they made Nicky? Or is that theory out the window? And are he and Boomer proof that even if two Cylons love each other, no baby?
- Still hung up on Boomer? Makes sense.
LEE. Hello sweetheart! I've missed you! Your hair is so long!
- Captain Apollo, remember that? And the Lee/Democracy OTP! Whoooo.
Also, must google Mithras.
Where is Six getting lip gloss in the brig?
- Also, Michael Hogan is breaking my heart.
- Oh, ew. Eye socket.
They're really going through a lot of fake blood this ep. I do not approve.
WHOA. Gaius can fly!
Oh. Rumpled!Lee! Also, who thought he and Baltar would ever sort of hug? I love this Lee moment!
"He;s doing what he thinks is right."
"Well YEAH. He's Lee." HA.
HA again.
Man. These books are handy little metaphor poppers, aren't they.
Ew. I'll say it: Six and Tigh? Ew.
Os that Lee behind Baltar? In the shirt and tie?
Anders and Kara - OH IT WAS LEE. Huh. Huh.
Huh.
No, really, huh. I need one of my more knowledgeable Lee friends to explain to me - was that look disgust? Intrigue? Lust? (Kidding mostly with that last one. Mostly.)
I miss my pilots being together. I do. Sorry. I 'ship. What can I say?
And now, I will discuss the promo for next week.
I really, really, really hate Leoben/Kara, or Leoben and Kara, or Leoben and Kara in the same room, the same space, breathing the same air. I hate it to the point where it almost makes me want to be sick. He held her prisioner and likely raped her and fucked with Kara in deep and fundamental ways and it all just makes me want to throw up. I don't care if it was important to getting her to the point she was at in Maelstrom, I don't care if it's part of the bigger plan, I don't. I hate it. And I don't know if I can sit through an entire episode or arc of it. Seeing him touching her in the promos just makes me angry and ill.
Just my two cents, likely to be unpopular but that's ok.

Yes to everything you said about Kara and Leoben. Oh man, does that pairing give me the heebiejeebies.
I miss my pilots being together. I do. Sorry. I 'ship. What can I say?
ME TOO. Cry.
As for the Tyrol and Cally thing, I think he really did love her. Do I think it's possible that he's still hung up on Boomer? Sure. But he and Cally had Nicky, and seemed to actually be happy for a time. So I think that rant he went on was partly fueled by his honest feelings and partly to get himself kicked off the ship before doing something Cylon-y.

He looked up toward the end, and I kinda like to imagine it's because he'd stopped reading and was just talking as himself.
LEE AND TORY ARE SITTING NEXT TO EACH OTHER. WHOOOOO. HOOK UP, YOU TWO. Because I still feel it would be AWESOME. Also Lee's hair got long fast.
While I'm somewhat amused by the idea of Lee/Tory, right now I'd be very, very scared for him.
And Lee's hair was sad tonight. It reminded me of UB, where the hair/makeup crew freaked out about Jamie's longer hair, so they moussed and blowdried it like crazy until he looked like he had a dead badger on his head.
Also, she does look like Cain in Baltar's cell with the wig and without her glasses.
She's also starting to act a teensy bit like Cain. Hmm.
And are he and Boomer proof that even if two Cylons love each other, no baby?
That'll probably be the answer the show gives us, but I'd much rather it be something simple like, "Uh, she was on the pill, and he used rubbers."
Your comments about Tigh randomly remind me of you totally squicking me out at D*C with your whole "Tigh and Kara must have slept together before the Mini!" Eeeeeeuw!
As for Kara and Leoben... I'm somewhere in-between. I love their dynamic in "Flesh and Bone", where it's all about manipulation and mysticism and fascination. And I kinda liked him in "Maelstrom", even though it wasn't the real Leoben (though now that I think of it, he appears to be one Kara created in her head, which is problematic.) But I also really dislike them as a pairing for the reasons you gave above. So I'm hoping next week will be more like F&B and not at all like New Caprica... but I'm not that hopeful. Yikes.

Yeah, no shit. Seeing as how their relationship coming out could've gotten them both in serious trouble with their bosses, they'd have been nuts to be TRYING to get pregnant at that point. I thought the whole point was that they were going to muster out together and then start a family.
But BSG logic is not my Earth logic, so what do I know?

I still find Baltar's entire storyline incomprehensible. I can't help feel his followers are kind stupid.

Adama/Roslin are soo cute. She wants him to know what she wants for her funeral. Mom and Dad discussing the errant son. Dad carrying Mom's bags. Awwwww.
I'm unsure of where to come down on the whole religious division. People are not perfect. People are fallible. People make mistakes.
Oh. EJO directed. I am amused at the thought of him directing Rekha Sharma and James Callis in that scene. "Okay, Rekha, it doesn't look enough like you're actually giving him a blow job, so get in there!"

I wouldn't say I'm a Lee Scholar or anything, BUT, I do spend an awful lot of time looking at his face, which is what you're asking about, which makes me feel like I might be able to help.
SO.
Probably it was disgust.
Lee is not having any of this "We are all perfect" shit.

Is it wrong that I had that exact same thought?? Anything dealing with blowjobs and EJO gives me the creeps.

It seemed like disgust to me, especially since he quickly put on his jacket and got the hell out of there. I think that moment was also there to point out that Lee noticed Tory there, which should have repercussions for her and Roslin. Lee would totally throw that in Laura's face at the next Quorum meeting.
