I'm worried for all my little Battlestar Galactica friends

Wasn't it brutal enough to lose both Kat and Ellen? Ronald D. Moore says no -- but don't click until you've seen tonight's finale. Really!

Agreed. No one wants to see Grammer shirtless and in BSG world, actors must at one point or another get naked.

Still there are some characters (Starbuck and Tighe) who are so different (Starbuck and Tighe) that it really would be a lesser show without them (Starbuck and Tighe). For instance, I'm quite fond of Starbuck and Tighe.

Seems like they're going for a little of the "Lost" cred: kill off a character or two just to show how badass you are.

In this case, the fact that it was one of the show's most irksome irritations (cough*Kat*cough) is just a happy bonus.

Also, thanks to the miracle of flashbacks, I don't think we've seen the last of Ellen.

Kat was irksome, wasn't she? But this was largely her purpose -- irk Kara Thrace in such a way that she'll reveal yet more vulnerabilites. But that deathbed scene? That "you know I'm not gettin' outta here?" line? I cried my little human eyes out.

I do hope that Chief is spared. One of my Christmas presents was an autographed photo of Aaron Douglas -- signed in metallic ink just like the sorority girls use! He thanked me "for lovin' the Chief." Sweet!
