I have to say that it's about freaking time Battlestar Galactica started up again, because television was looking mighty bleak for awhile there. Although I have to admit that's because I have a low tolerance and have given up on so many shows that I used to enjoy (Smallville, Heroes, Lost). The only other show I watch anymore on a semi-regular basis is Reaper, which if you're not watching, you're totally missing out because it's pretty hilarious.
Anyway, back to Battlestar Galactica and some things I really want to see this season, because as you all know, it's all about me.
1. I want to see the four that have just discovered their cylonness do something that's almost never done with a big secret on a tv show and freaking tell Adama and Roslin that they're cylons ASAP. Because you know it's going to come out, and you know that there's going to be all people feeling betrayed and there's going to be the typical boring angst of "omg should we tell them? Should we not tell them? Angst, angst, angst." So why not do something that's almost never done in fiction and actually have the people with the big secret do the rational and responsible thing and be up front and honest about it from the start? I mean, come on... it's not like them discovering this will be angst free even if they're up front - so why manufacture extra angst that's typical and boring?
2. I want to find out if the chief's kid is actually his kid (which would make a second half Cylon baby) or if his wife was screwing around on him behind his back and it's not his kid at all. For some reason, I kind of want it to be the latter, because even though I like both characters, I want to see more of the two of them. She seems so hardcore against the Cylons, so finding out her husband is a Cylon should be pretty awesomely messed up.
3. I want to see more of secondary characters that got neglected the second half of last season due to the Kara/Lee wanky romance that ate up way too freaking much airtime. This includes Gaeta, Dr. Cottle and Tom Zerek (who is so criminally underused that it's shameful).
4. I want everyone involved in Kara/Lee wanky romance bullshit to move on. I like both of those characters but I think they suck horribly when they try to get together. Plus everyone involved has more important things to worry about than their horribly dysfunctional relationship. If it eats up as much time as it did last season, that's going to suck beyond belief.
5. I want more of the Quantum Leap Cylon guy. And more of Xena Cylon, who needs to come back because I miss her special kind of crazy. And they should deathmatch.
6. I want to know what the hell is going on with Baltar. He was much more interesting as a social revolutionary. I do find the Baltar is Jesus thing kind of fun, but the class warfare thing they were going for seemed even more entertaining and I'm sad to see that it looks like they've dropped that. I'm kind of hoping they'll find a way to tie both of them together.
7. I want the last cylon to be someone unexpected, preferably someone we haven't met yet and definitely NOT Baltar (because it would completely destroy the point of his character) or Starbuck (because that's just way too predictable). My guess is that the last cylon isn't with the colonial fleet, or the cylon armada, but is on earth - showing everyone that the cylons are older than everyone thought they were and that humans and cylons come from the same origins.
