It’s that time of the week again. The dreaded hump day. As always, the Mad Madam M and I try to lighten your load by giving you pretty things to distract you from the fact that you still have half the work week to go. In any case, this week’s pretty men theme is Battlestar Gallactica, another evil, vicious, soul-and-time-sucking thing that M got me hooked on. And just in case you didn’t know, Jamie Bamber is the actor who plays Apollo. Apparently, it’s all the same to M. We won’t talk about how in touch with reality she is, but she brings us pretties, so do we really care? I didn’t think so.

Mad Madam M: Ladies and perhaps gentlemen…I give you the reason I began watching this program. Sure I was interested in the Stand and Deliver guy and the Dances with Wolves chick, but really…it was all about Jamie Bamber and his muscles.

Crystal: And his shiny, leather-ish pants. Don’t forget those.

Mad Madam M: Not sure I could resist one hot guy in black, but I know I couldn’t resist two. *pets computer moniter* I mean I had to physically remove my hand from petting a black clad Helo and Apollo. Frak! *resumes petting the screen*

Crystal: Dude, you know you’ve been drinking the Kool-Aid when you start using their fake and bake, made for tv ratings cuss words.

Mad Madam M: So I had to add a pic of Starbuck - having Apollo there doesn’t hurt the eyes either - since I have a total girl-crush on Kara Thrace. I don’t know how you couldn’t!

Crystal: Look! more shiny, leather-like pants! And Starbuck? I’d totally do her. Rrowr.

Mad Madam M: *drool* Pretty…oh so pretty… *drool*

Crystal: He should dress like that more often in the show. Like, every episode, all the time. It’s a good look for him. I think they were on to something.

Mad Madam M: I might be weird, but I quite like Felix Gaeta. Sure he seems a bit unhinged and a shifty at times, but I have to admit I am a bit enamored. Well, more than a bit…I mean the guy is smart and in this pic pulls off a sweater with a suit jacket. Got to admire the style skills…

Crystal: I’d do him, too. And Starbuck. At the same time.

Mad Madam M: Ok…so Anders isn’t really that much of a character (personally I call him Blanders and Crys hasn’t even met him yet), but the boy is pretty and deserves to be in this collection of BSG hotties. I mean he more than qualifies…

Crystal: I have no idea who he is because I’ve only made it through season 1 DVDs, but he really is quite pretty.

Mad Madam M: See…in my mind, I replace Sharon’s head with mine.

Crystal: Yes, but I get to keep her mini-me body while still doing it with the man in leather-like pants.

Mad Madam M: Oh Jamie…how I love you! I even loved you when you were a skinny British naval officer prancing around in loafers with Ioan Gruffudd trying to pull off really bad hair.

Crystal: Do not mock the Horatio Hornblower. I totally love the Brit Naval drama crap. It makes me happy inside.

Mad Madam M: This one goes out to the Persnickety Hooch…I don’t know what you see in Baltar, but I hope you enjoying gazing at this pic. I love James Callis in many other films, most notably Bridget Jones’s Diary and Arabian Nights, but I can’t seem to separate James from Baltar anymore…and I hate to admit it, I really kind of despise Baltar.

Crystal: I’m not a Gaius Baltar fan either, but I’m sure the Persnickety Hooch will drool appropriately.

Mad Madam M: I love this cast pic. I have no clue why. It could be the stylized look of the image. Or Starbuck fake speed walking while going for her gun. Or Baltar’s poofy hair. Or perhaps even the president’s expressionles face (she must have just got botox). Ah, who am I kidding? I love the Apollo/Adama relationship (even though I don’t buy that they could ever be related in real life) and this image of Apollo protecting his father warms my heart. Yes my heart…why do you ask?

Crystal: Right. Your heart. Cuz that’s what warms up when you look at Jamie Bamber. Right. And the dude in the middle looks dead, not protected. I think Jamie killed him. It’s like Oedipus Rex all over! Only without the marrying the mom part. Perhaps he’ll wed his brother’s fiancee instead. That might kinda work in the Oedipus of it all.

Mad Madam M: Okay…I just couldn’t resist. But can you blame me?!?!?! If anyone asks for me, I’ll be in my bunk!

Crystal: If only his towel would shift just a leetle to the right. Or just fall off. That would work too.
