Basestars appear in orbit over each colony....

... one; it was symbolic. Symbolic of what? Don't look at me, man, I just write the show. FUCK YOU RON MOORE. Ahem. Sorry. It still hurts. Moving on, then. After the cluster-fuck of the finale, I was left suddenly, mercilessly, without my weekly dosage of BSG. I comforted myself the thought of the long-delayed TV-movie they'd been working on, the Cylon-centric The Plan. The Plan was supposedly...

I just wanted to pay tribute to one of my favorite scenes from television this year. Battlestar Galactica was a great show. Its great weakness was the long arc. Ron Moore doesn't like arcing out a story over a few seasons and it showed. What BSG excelled at were the short arcs and characters. And, the latter is what this scene demonstrates. This scene is perfect in every way. Baltar's complexity...
