NOTES:

I’ve been rewatching BSG lately, aaand I’ve been infected by a few obsessive trips to Wikifrakr, so sorry for the overuse of the word ‘Frak’ and its variations… but it’s better than the euphemism that I would normally use. And Leland can get really FRAKKING grating with his daddy issues, therefore the hate. Read On!
