Battlestar Blogging: I Nominated My Cell-Mate For President

"The Farm" is, by far, the best episode I've seen. Pretty intense. The most captivating characters on display. The least compelling playing the back. No Baltar. No Six. No Ellen Tigh (Thank God). No weak-ass Callie (Sorry, she needs to take some tips from Wee-Bey on how to be calm when you bout to murk a fool.). Adama back at em. Starbuck in effect. The Prez blessing felons. Helo and Sharon doing the rescue thing. Pretty ass-kicking, I must say. Also the doc did a really cool acting job.

It actually reminded of this great GI Joe episode, where Shipwreck is brainwashed by Cobra, and then given the life he always wanted. They even bring back one of his lost loves from another episode. Eventually he finds out it's all a fraud. Dark as hell, and arguably the only Joe episode (short of the great Serpentor movie) that stands up. Don't know why it made me think of that.

Alright boys and girls, I'm rolling with you. If this ends badly. I know who to blame. Cobra-la-la-la-la!!!!111ONE
