I don’t join the [ ever growing mass of Cally haters ]. While I think her character was always a little weak, and that she wasn’t really a major part of the series, she represented something that I thought was missing with a lot of the BSG crew. For one, she was loyal to Chief Tyrol – physically, emotionally, even spiritually. A lot of the other characters on the show bounce from one connection to another. Baltar and Starbuck being the extreme examples of that. Cally always stuck with Chief, from the very first episode when it was made clear that she had a thing for him. Back then, he was with Boomer. I think, personally, that when Cally “Jack Rubied” her that it was largely in part because of the Boomer’s betrayal of someone she cared deeply for, Chief. I don’t think it had anything to do with Adama, or even the fact that Boomer was a cylon. It was simply a reaction to Chief being hurt by her.

I also think, that she always represented the fresh start that the humans where reaching for. She was the first “known character” to produce a child, that we were supposed to think wasn’t a Hylon (human/cylon).

Lastly, I like Nicki Clyne. She is very cute, and an excellent actress, and I for one will miss her on the show.

So color this geek… sad.
