I did said over a year ago. I didn't hear anyone said anything as Athena was being attack in her cell. One think about beating up Sharons have been going on in this Show much more then any character, and for along time. If you remember"Download" Where was Cavil. It was Sharon that talk Six into stop killing. You better read that again I never said that and in New Caprica. Boomer never said more then two lines. It was like the writers gave all the line to Cavil, or Three. Its like Moore want his new people to get the good parts. Boomer and a time would stand there and just watch as Cavil would sound off. I even heard that the last show before this have Boomer talk with the Final Five was cut. You can't have Sharon, or Grace Park having a brain like Katee Ssckhoff!
Don't forget the one who got killed in the hull rupture and whose hand Ty didn't want to hold as she lay dying, that old racist skinjob!
You obviously haven't understood the show if all you can come up with is this stupid race conspiracy.
The Eights are some of the most important and interesting characters on the show (although it is weird to see them do menial tasks like that painter). But by virtue of their design, they are also getting into all kinds of situations that put them in harm's way. Eight is the empathic Cylon. The one who's consistently getting involved with the Humans in more ways than any other Cylons, save maybe Caprica Six. The one who is the mediator. The love Cylon. That all you can see in these great characters and their stories is race bashing is really pathetic.
Yes, there were a lot of shows where the Eights didn't do much. But there were also many where they were a center. They can't be a center all the time.
And regarding Starbuck's brains, that's a hilarious joke. This character is not set up for brains, but for brawn. Starbuck is not one to reflect much on things, she much rather uses her fists/gun/Viper. Unlike the Eights, who *are* thinkers. Which is why they consistently bridge the trenches and try to help all sides. Some people/Cylons exploit that (see the Hera abduction), but to me, that just makes it all more believable. I for one can't wait for Sharon's and Boomer's final role, and I'm sure they will be there for no other reason than Hera.
Starbuck has only recently changed, now that she's wondering who or what she really is.
And don't turn this into some stupid contest between the actresses. We are talking Starbucks and Eights here, not Sackhoff vs. Park.
