Battlestar Galactica

Does anyone have next week's teaser????



I have a question, was I the only one that felt like they missed an episode? I've watched all the episodes but I saw some scenes in the opening -catch the audience up with what's going on bit- that I didn't recognize....but I guess it's good they did that. I mean in this show so much happens I wouldn't be surprised if I did forget a plot point.

Anyway, on with the my mini-review. Basically, I loved this episode. I loved that Starbuck was being herself, and while I hated how the crew reacted to her presence on the ship, I thought it was consistent with how the Pegasus presented itself in earlier episodes.

I absolutely loved the interactions between Starbuck/Apollo, each scene with them together was brilliant (okay I'm easy to please) the hug at the end was perfect. :)

I can always watch a space battle or two. Gaius, I love him when he's not too crazy and being really smart. Intelligence really is sexy. :)

I'm okay with the choice the president made on the abortion issue (which is odd for me because I'm strongly pro-choice) however....with less than 50,000 people left to repopulate the human race....they need babies. I figured what they should do for people who don't want the kid is find another family willing to take care of the baby. IN such a small enclosed population it shouldn't be that hard to find people willing to take a child. (especially when there are so few of them left) Basically, in their situation I agree with the president.

In America 2006 I think abortion is okay. It's not like the world is close to running out of people. If anything we have too many people to maintain our current standard of living.

I know other people in the scifi.com board complained about a lot of other stuff but this episode worked for me on all levels and I'm really loving this show.

You probably didn't miss an ep, they put deleted scenes in the pervious recap.

Yeah I figured it had to be deleted scenes because there was no way I missed an episode unless it was aired out of order. The funny part is the scenes I didn't remember seeing confused me more than the actual episode. :)

I agree something had to be done. But I disagree with the execution of it. As I said in my LJ, even if the law to outlaw abortion was the end goal, it should *not* have been implimented in the manner in which it was.

Those people are fucked up enough, and 6 - 9months of talk about birth rates and encouraging people to settle down and build families, adding small incentives to encourage child birth, etc, things like that. See how teh numbers start changing, prepare the civilians with teh fact that their race is on the line. Let it sink in. Because you can *say* it, but that's a pretty damned big concept for a group of people to reall grasp.

And THEN if it really isn't starting to show signs of improvment, yes, repeal the law.

With a *timelimit* on the repeal.

This way? Is just going to lead to 'backalley, coathanger abortions'.

I know what you mean. The thing is we don't know if they had already tried other methods...it says another month passed. Anyway, I agree they probably should have eased into a big decision like this instead of just throwing it at everyone without warning.
