This is really about you

Mr. McClelland,

This article is really about you. It's about your injury, how great a runner you were, how great a runner you could have been, how great a runner you will forever aspire to be. Great. With all due respect, who cares? And who cares if Oprah runs in a marathon? She's got every right as does every couch potato who bettered her/himself by getting up and training for a marathon. You sound more jealous than genuine.

Ciao.

Original article: I Like to Watch

I enjoyed the premier...

What about the "...harbinger of death" stuff and Leobin running away from Kara after spending his whole "life" running after her. I thought that was fabulous!

I think we still don't know who the final Cylon is. Kara thinks it's her, doesn't she? Could it be Dee? Is it in fact Ellen? Or is it someone else?

If it's Ellen, it's just interesting that Tighe killed her for being a Cylon when he is a Cylon even though he didn't know it at the time, then thought she was not a Cylon and felt guilty again - and on...

The cheesiest moment in the show was Kara at the wall of photos saying "We did it kid." Blech!!!

Dee.

Heather think about this. How can those people on that mining or processing ship even go on one more minute knowing that earth is uninhabitable? Yeah, Dee could have been wearing the red shirt, no doubt. That woman is a terrific actress. The character has been very practical and fierce; a true soldier. She just wanted out. Who would want to be trapped in a tin can with no hope of ever getting out? I think it was a useful line to express the pure devastation and hopelessness that anyone would feel (especially after being told mission accomplished), and also to illustrate what people do in the worst of times. They go to the people with whom they have been closest and this set up the scene between Tighe and Adama.

I must be the oldest person reading this column. Thank GODS they are using a Dylan song! I would listen to Bob Dylan any hour of the day, any day of the week. What is wrong with you whipper-snappers.
