Really, he told me he wants it! It's not for me, really!


Season 2 isn't as easy to bullet. Season 1 ended with the Galactica finding the 12 Colonies' home planet of Kobol. Laura AND Lee were in the hoosegow because of mutiny; Adama was mighty peeved about the whole thing and Starbuck was out gallavanting around in her hotwired Cylon Raider. She got back to Caprica, found the frammis to the hydrospan that Laura wanted, and got the living snot kicked out of her by a Model Six Cylon. She also found Helo and Boomer 2.0. Helo was trying to deal with Boomer's toaster ancestry and Starbuck wasn't dealing at all.

Boomer 1.0 had shot Adama in the belly right at the very end of season 1. So: season 2 bullets -


+ Colonel Tigh is in command. It goes as badly as you might think. Props to Tigh for knowing he's a shitty commander and desperately wanting Adama to get better.

+ Laura and Lee escape and head down to Kobol to look for some clues to Earth's location. Hilarity ensues.

+ Adama gets better but Boomer 1.0 is Jack Ruby-ed by a pissed-off shipmate so he can't ask her why.

+ Starbuck eventually has to deal because Boomer 2.0 rescues her and Helo and all 3 go back to the Galactica.

+ Hilarity *really* ensues when everyone gets a gander at Boomer 2.0. She is not blown out of an airlock (Laura's favorite method of Cylon removal) because both Starbuck and Helo vouch for her actions plus you know, she's knocked up.

+ Adama hates the way the fleet has been fractured by the "follow Laura" and "follow Adama" factions so he heads to Kobol to kiss and make up with Laura. They really do make a cute couple. Starbuck gives Laura the Frammis that open's Athena's tomb, where they find a huge honkin' map of Earth's location. So with Laura being vindicated everybody loves each other again. Hey, Apollo even mentions to Starbuck his love for her though it's kind of a fraternal admission. That didn't stop the Shipper fans from going nuts.

+ Except for Chief Tyrol and Helo, who are way totally confused about this Boomer business. They even get in a jealous fist fight even though technically they didn't date the same woman. Neither of them can look at what they feel too closely.

+ Lee is still a tight-ass, although his willingness to go against his commander (who is also his dad) to do what he thinks is right is an interesting wrinkle. Now if he could only get laid. And parade around in more towels.

+ Baltar is still a nutbag.

+ A few new human-looking Cylon models show up, including one who suspiciously looks like a blond Xena, Warrior Princess.

So most of season 2 was spent wrapping up season 1. More to follow.
