Only problem is, Boomer's been close to Adama before. Multiple times. There's got to be a specific reason they wanted him killed now, as opposed to any time over the past months.

My guess is, it has to do with what's happening with Baltar on Kobol...

I was thinking after the Base Star where she killed multiple Sharon's she flipped ... I blew up my sisters, now I shoot you for ordering it .... she cracked, I don't know if the cylons will still be able to use this particular Sharon or if she'll end up helping the fleet out ... or just ruin everybody's plans (so far so good, downed a Base Star and the Colonial Admiral)

Keep in mind, he fought against them, in early Cylon/Humans wars....so revenge is bitter sweet. And if that is true, it is not a cold emotional response. But then again, who knows?

I find something interesting in all of the characters. I would like to see more of the Chief - he's not been featured much since he broke up with Boomer.

I LIKE Starbuck, and I think she's been one of the more interesting characters. I agree with others that Apollo has been rather bland, though he got better toward the end - first with that mission blowing up that station and also with his reactions to the politics and Starbuck's antics.

It is also interesting to try and figure out Boomer(s) - I think even Boomer(s) don't know exactly what they are all about.

I can't wait to see more. IMNSOHO, it is the best sci-fi show made to date. July is too far off. I now understand what it must feel like to be addicted to crack.

I like everyone that has been portrayed in show, even the secondary actors...but like all new shows, the trail and errors have to be ironed out, first...and I do see, that they are getting there.

Starbuck's illustration has been fun for me, to see a hot-shot know-it-all, taking down a peg or two. And that everything around her, that she believes in, has to be reavaluated. That is a great blow in my book.

As for the Chief, he's planetside for a while, so expect to see more of him, the Raptor pilot, doesn't seem to know how to command people or the situation...well heck, after that crash, anyone's mind will not be in the right place for that moment.

Apollo's growth, from the meek, and have other ideas mindset, to I can make my own stand has been great...especially, in the last three shows of the season.

Grace Parks aka Boomer(s), have done a great job of playing all the angles, yet seen so far.

Well, July it will be, and only for 10 shows, and next year, early...the other ten...*sigh* -taking anti-addiction medicine, and giving a whole supply to the poster that was quoted-

I just assumed that the timing was because Adama was needed to bring Baltar to Kobol, but now that he's there Adama is considered a danger to the Cylons and needs to be eliminated.

Add me to the "Me Likey Starbuck" list.

She's fun...and the last thing I wanted to see was a Dirk Benedict carbon-copy.

I didn't want to see a Benedict copy either, but the potential Apollo/Starbuck romance is something I didn't want to see either.

Not only that, but it'd be blatantly illegal, too. He's her commanding officer. That's FAR worse than an affair between a rookie pilot and the ship's chief petty officer.

I think we can expect that to be addressed next season. What comes first...the needs of the species, or the needs of the military?

As the Chief is a reasonably experienced noncom, and the pilot dude apparently is not, if they have to stay on Kobol for more than the season opener, I kind of expect the Chief to start taking control in a diplomatic fashion. It looks like he already started.

Well given what Apollo pulled in the season finale that little problem may be resolved - he may be a civilian next season.
 

Considering what happened with the relationship between Boomer and the chief, and all that will likely happen when it comes out Boomer is a cylon, a Lee/Starbuck relationship would be a painful thing. Thats not even taking into consideration Starbuck's history with Lee's brother. While I have no doubt that is the direction they are going, I could see them together a couple of seasons from now. The problem is is that it will likely happen NEXT season, which is way too soon no matter how you slice it. I only hope they turn it into some sort of secret, angst ridden tragedy, with both of them either denying their feelings, or deciding not to follow thru with them. Following thru with some sort of romance anytime soon would be the first bad story arc of the series.
