Dude I don't even know who Billy is? The... sweetly awkward guy who's always with Roslin? Who had the thing with Dee?
I think the action misconception is a realllly popular one. It sounds cliche, but Battlestar is just a political drama set in space in which things happen to explode now and then. I don't know that I totally agree with this (although I also don't know that I am far enough along to make these kind of judgements and equivocal statements) because so far it seems like there's been a looooooot of spaceships and spacefights and piloting through things and just... general actiony stuff. But it's like... it's like XF and the aliens. You cannot deny that the alien storyline is integral to the show, but "I don't have any interest in aliens" is a stupid reason not to watch the X-Files, becaaaaause it's so much more than the little green men. BSG is definitely actiony (and political and I'm sure eventually very character-driven), but that's not... a bad thing? And people who would claim it as such are dumb.
