Mark here... Laurel and I are watching the next episode of Battlestar Galactica, "Final Cut". I've made us some Bow Tie Carbonara courtesy of Jamie Oliver. Laurel has made some garlic bread and Broccoli Almondine.
This episode has Lucy Lawless guest starring as a reporter in the fleet covering a story of an incident that happened while Col Tigh was in charge of the fleet. The episode plays out as a "filler" episode at first. It's still interesting but we are lead to believe that D'Anna Biers (Lucy Lawless) is simply an overeager reporter in the fleet. In the footage she shoots we see the overworked soldiers on Galactica and how Roslin and Adama want to show a "warts and all" view of them, no matter what. At the same time we see the guilt Tigh feels over the incident. The catch though is that Biers can't show the pregnant Caprica-Sharon. We think all is good as the end shows Biers' report as a inspirational portrait of Galactica's crew. Fake out! D'Anna Biers is another Cylon! The end of the episode shows another D'Anna viewing the footage back on Caprica with the other Cylons!
Hi Laurel here...nothing to add really, but what a twist! We think Lucy Lawless is a sympathetic human reporter showing the human side of Galactica, but it turns out she's a Cylon?!? She has clearly built some trust with Roslin and Adama by making her piece show Galatica in a positive light, I wonder how she will use her newfound trust?

Mud Bowl
Mark here... Laurel and I just watched the next episode of Friday Night Lights, called "Mud Bowl". Laurel made us a delicious Lasagna with a side of garlic bread and I made us a caesar salad to accompany it.
This episode was a bit slow to start with, picking up some of what's been going on. To start with, there's an accident or fuel explosion near the field so the coach is forced to find a different location for the team to play the next game. They chose a nearby cow field to play on and it ends up raining the night of the game, which is where the title of the episode, Mud Bowl, comes from. Smash is still dealing with his bipolar girlfriend, who has struck up a friendship with Lyla Garrity. So far not a lot comes from this except his girlfriend is upset when Smash discloses her condition to Lyla.
Landry convinces Tyra to let him tutor her and promptly misreads their relationship. Then unexpectedly at the end of the episode, he is late in meeting her and she is assaulted by a guy in the diner parking lot. She manages to fight him off just before Landry shows up and turns to him for support. It will be interesting to see how this plays out and if Landry further misinterprets things. Clearly Tyra is shocked and in need of a friend.
Tim Riggins has also continued his relationship with his older neighbor and it still feels like this won't end well...
Laurel here...I just wanted to elaborate on Tyra a little...she fights off her attacker in the most bad ass way! He pushes her into HER truck to try and rape her, she pushes in the cigarette lighter and he doesn't notice during the struggle. then she BURNS HIM IN THE FACE!!! so awesome. It gives her enough time to get out of the cab, when he tries to follow her out she slams his wrist in the door repeatedly. such a bad ass. Hopefully she will see it that way and not see herself as a victim.
Also Lyla is so awesome this episode. Jason is feeling sorry for himself about not making the rugby team, and bummed about the lawsuit with the Taylors. He ends up kind of taking it out on her, not returning her phonecalls and being super mean to her when she comes over to check in. She throws a glass of water in his face and basically tells him to quit being a fucking baby and do something about it. At the next law suit meeting he steps up and puts an end to it by making a compromise deal that both sides can live with. Which seems to resolve things in a way where the Taylor's are off the hook financially.
Also Jason works a lot with Matt Seracen on his QB skills to help him get ready for the big game, and Matt kills it. Panthers are going to state! At the very end of the episode Coach Taylor asks Jason if he has ever thought about coaching...is there a job in Jason's near future? I hope so, I know I am sick of seeing him mope around.
