no_takebacksIt has been a fabulous week, everyone. Thank you so much for coming along for the ride.
We've got the re-watch coming up tonight, so I'm taking the episode we're watching as my theme. Lay Down Your Burdens.
I get it. I really do. But they laid down the WRONG BURDENS! They collectively put down a lot of responsibilities and cares and concerns. But they kept ANGST! And GUILT! And SELF-RIGHTEOUS IRE! And GAIUS FRAKKING BALTAR! And.... **ahem** Okay, you get my point.
So! For today, I'm asking all you lovely shippers to help me work out how this episode should have gone.
Key points to remember:
1) Welcome to Chief's PTSD. Have sympathy for him or not. Also, meet the most completely insane "religious councilor" in the entire history of ever.
2) Lee & Kara's "I hope you find him..." (but not really, but I can't say that, because then I'd be letting go of my EPIC ANGST), "Thanks..." (did you really say that? I didn't actually want you to say that, I just can't tell you because then I'd be letting go of my EPIC ANGST).
3) Zarek iz twixy. I'm thinking not so much with the whole entrusting the future of humanity to him thing.
4) ZOMG! Tory named the episode! Foreshadowing of the supreme importance of minor and unmemorable background characters! Do Not Forget!
5) This could go any way you all want it to -- angsty, fluffy, whatever. All I ask is that you have fun.
So, I'll start it off with a couple questions:
Which burdens do you all think *should* have been laid down?
What would it have taken to keep Baltar and Zarek's slimy hands off the Exec

I think Sam could have been a character with a lot of possibilities, but the writers did a very poor job with him (especially in regards to his relationship with Kara).
