Feb. 21st, 2006 10:23 pmThere are a lot of sins that can be forgiven simply by including Dirk Benedict in your show, but having an entire episode about a ship catching fire is a lot for even the Avatar of Bouncy to make up for. I mean, seriously, who thought that was a good idea? It's like, you're sitting there, it's Dirk, he's pretty, there's some evil robotic doom flying around, it's all good, and then:
"Oh noes, the Galactica is on fire! Curse you, Kamikaze Cylons!"
*ten minutes later*
"Wow, that sure is a bad fire..."
*ten more minutes later*
"I hate that fucking robodog. Oh look, more fire."
*ten more minutes later*
"Yup. That's fire alright."
*ten more minutes later*
"Oh God I don't care anymore, just evacuate the ship, throw everyone on the Rising Star out of the nearest airlock and commandeer it for yourselves. Admiral Cain would have wanted it this way."
*five minutes later*
"Huh? What? End credits? I must have dozed off. Oh well, time for some unicorns."
Also, what the hell was with Adama being all like, "Put your best people on this, Tigh"? Like Tigh is really sitting there going, "Oh hey, our ship is totally on fire, and if we all die the entire Fleet is shit out of luck... I think I'll entrust this misson to some random space-hobos I just found!" Shut up, Lorne Green. You're just not as awesome as Edward James Olmos.
