Cylon love

Caught up, in almost-real-time, with this week's "Battlestar Galactica," and I'm still intrigued by the Cylons' deep, apparently aching need to feel love -- as evidenced by D'Anna's obsession with the baby and Leoben's overwhelming desire for a human kiss. (I was also surprised that Kara was actually in the detention center; just in a cell decked out with Crate and Barrel furniture and modern art.)

I was a little disappointed to see the occupation storyline play out so quickly, but the rescue effort was satisfying, if mildly predictable. Future episodes, I know, will deal with occupation-related themes. And I guess they can go back to their old set now.

Oh -- and there was a moment, during the long Edward James Olmos shaving sequence, where I suddenly thought, in horror, "He's going to turn out to be a cylon." It must have had something to do with the flashing scissors. But no. He was just removing his Year-Has-Passed Moustache.
