Um, spoilers for Friday night's Battlestar Galactica, in case anyone cares.

Okay, so I don't get Battlestar Galactica. Callum Keith Rennie was guest-starring on Friday night as a Cylon, so I watched it. And I figured, you know, I'm supposed to be on the humans' side, since the Cylons apparently killed most of the humans or something. (I don't know. It's not like I did any research or anything before I watched this.) But the humans spent the whole time torturing Callum Keith Rennie, because he said he'd hidden a bomb on one of their ships that was set to go off in eight hours, and they wanted to know where it was. So basically the whole episode was Starbuck having CKR beaten up and almost drowned. Then the president (of...the humans, I guess?) shows up at the end and acts all offended that Starbuck has been doing this. So she's nice to CKR, and promises to let him go if he tells her where the bomb is. He tells her he lied about the bomb, because they're too far away from the Cylon's planet for his consciousness to get transferred back there if he dies, so he was trying to buy time. And it turns out he's telling the truth this time, because nothing blows up. So then the president puts CKR out the airlock (in a really cheesy and fake-looking CGI shot, btw). Uh-huh. So the Cylons are just machines, except they feel pain like humans and don't want to die, like humans. Am I supposed to be on the humans' side? Because, just from this episode, I feel like being on the side that didn't spend an entire episode torturing Callum Keith Rennie and then killing him. I don't know. Maybe it's just because I like CKR so much. Maybe if someone else had been playing the Cylon I wouldn't have cared so much. But. They still spent the whole episode torturing someone who pretty much looks, acts, and feels human, and justifying it by saying he's only a machine. So then I thought, maybe this show is supposed to be this whole referendum on what it means to be human, or something. But then I went and read the recaplet at Television Without Pity, and the recapper seemed pretty happy with the idea that the president put CKR out the airlock in the end. So then I got all confused again. Stupid Battlestar Galactica.
