. . . twelve killed-off characters

Nothing says Christmas like the mention of a dozen (or so) characters that met their maker this past year. Here they are, in no particular order.

• Ellen Tigh, Battlestar Galactica -- Ellen meant well, of course . . . sleeping with one of the Cylons occupying New Caprica to ensure the safety of her husband Saul. But, she went too far to keep her husband safe and paid for it with her life. To make it even worse, Saul was the one who killed her by having her drink a beverage filled with poison.

(S02E04) "Noo!" If you caught tonight's episode, that's most likely one of the reactions you had toward the end of the show. In the interest of not spoiling things for those who hadn't seen the episode, I'll leave my comments about this event for after the jump.

This week we're back to following T-Bag, Tweener, and Abruzzi as well as Michael and Lincoln. No sign of Sucre or C-Note this time, though it looks as if we'll see at least Sucre next week. If you couldn't tell already by the title, by the end of this episode we're less one member of the cast. And this is where I have by beef with the show.
