I am brain-dead after staying up all night writing, and we're apparently not leaving yet for the final cleanout/scrubdown of my apartment, so you get more on last night's BSG. This is flailing, but it is dignified flailing! There is even a poll!

[Poll #1357117]

Also:

1. How NOT to Respond to an Overwhelmingly Sweet Gesture of Friendship and Loyalty That Took a Lot of Effort: what Kara did at the beginning of this episode.

2. Were the Chief's parents first cousins who were also really gullible?

Just kidding.

(BUT SERIOUSLY. I KNOW WE WERE ALL, OHYEAH, THE CHIEF AND BOOMER, THAT WAS HOT, AND IT WAS, BUT SHE SHOT ADAMA AND THEN SHE KILLED A BUNCH OF SIXES AND EIGHTS. AND TWOS OR WHATEVER. AND THEN SHE PLOPS ELLEN TIGH IN A RAPTOR AND WE'RE SUPPOSED TO SHOWER HER WITH REDEMPTION? Has Boomer ever not thought about herself ever? Boomer is like a cross between Regina George and Hitler.)

(And Chief, GET OVER IT. JESUS CHRIST. I know how it is when there's a small dating pool, really I do, but that doesn't mean I beat up innocent people and break the law. As Patrick Verona once said, "What is it with this chick? She have beer-flavored nipples or something?")

3. Can Danny Strong guest star next week so he can take Athena out for coffee and fix this? "Athena, I don't think you're angry with Boomer. I think you're angry with your husband."

(I just want to get Athena really drunk and then cuddle her while we watch Legally Blonde. Or, you know, something that won't remind her so much of Six.)

4. BSG writers, you owe me a dozen of these because I trusted you not to waste my time with lameness. AND THEN YOU DID. FAIL EPIC FAIL.
