Season 1 Episode 13. After he became Vice-President he got off with her at that party but she thought he was Lee (the guys all do look the same, but srsly) then Baltar got jealous and Lee told her off... Am I the only one who remembers?

Eventually I even forget the bag as I walk on through the crowded streets, going nowhere.

How did I get here? Well, it's a long story. It all started 20 years ago, back when people still cared that I existed. My name is, or was, not important. All that matters is what I represented: high society. In this city, that's literally high society: the penthouse apartments of the Upper City miles above the smog-filled labyrinth of the Lower City. Up there they tell us only the worst kind of human vermin can survive below the cloud of poison. But let me tell you: it's far worse up there than down here.
I'd done reasonably well in life. I even used to be married. Not to the teddy bear girl. No, her sister. Yes, I was different back then. I couldn't remember a woman's name for longer than five minutes, unless she was pretty - then it was half an hour. Let's just say married life changed me. Now, the teddy bear girl's name was...

A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE BY GEORGE R R MARTIN. That's it.
Dincrest, Twilight et al may be vomit-inducing drivel, but they could be worse if they were written by Garth Nix. They wouldn't be vampires, they'd be Greater Necromorphs of Khorne from beyond the 7,777th Dark Gate of Xel'lota'h and there'd be sex and fascist government atrocities on every page. Or they could be, y'know, Eragon....
Yeah, fantasy only ever seems to be good if it's for 12-year-olds.
