In a move completely out of left field, Dee committed suicide by blowing her brains out last Friday night in the mid-season return episode.

Nope just trying to be one of the girls. #6: Hugs a nuke and set it off (Gotta give her points for style)
Lucy Lawless: (Can't remember her number), Kills herself over and over again do find out who the final five are.
#8/Athena: Blows her brains out in order be reincarnated on board the cylon mother ship.
Roslin: Contemplates killing herself due to cancer suffering, but is pulled back at the last second.
Cain: Stands there passively while her lesbo-cylon girlfriend blows her brains out.
Dee: 9mm Divorce.
Ellen Tigh: Drinks poison (Possible murder) and blows up a planet with herself on it.
Cally: Trys to flush herself out an airlock with her kid, Cylon saves the kid, then flushes Cally.

They should change the theme song to the theme from M*A*S*H.

Oh and lest I forget Starbuck deliberately crashes her ship into a gas giant.

Lucy Lawless: (Can't remember her number)(she's a #3), Kills herself over and over again do find out who the final five are.

#8/Athena: Blows her brains out in order be reincarnated on board the cylon mother ship.

Since these Cylon women are/were essentially immortal as they are/were capable of downloading their conscience into a new body on the resurrection hubs, can their actions truly be defined as suicide?

Roslin: Contemplates killing herself due to cancer suffering, but is pulled back at the last second.

Roslin, like many cancer patients, and other terminally ill patients, contemplates ending her existence to end her suffering. That she didn't is a testimony of the spirit to want to live,

Cain: Stands there passively while her lesbo-cylon girlfriend blows her brains out.

Cain was a pathological b*tch, and re. her girlfriend, see comment about Cylons above.

Dee: 9mm Divorce.

As poster dilvish noted in another post, Dee suffered from chronic depression, and while suicide can be devastating and unexpected, the possibility can not, and should not, be ignored in the chronically depressed.

Ellen Tigh: Drinks poison (Possible murder) and blows up a planet with herself on it.

I think Ellen was killed, but after last weeks big reveal, we can't even be sure of her current status.

Cally: Trys to flush herself out an airlock with her kid, Cylon saves the kid, then flushes Cally.

Cally had just discovered she had mated with a Cylon skinjob and had had a child by him. She was confused and distraught and wasn't thinking at that point, just reacting. Cally didn't commit suicide, she was murdered by Torie(sp).

Given my reasoning above, I would have to disagree with your assertion that Dee was just trying to be one of the girls. But, I can understand your point as well because women in sci-fi/comic book material are never treated as real people. They are either lionized, ala the Wonder Woman syndrome, or victimized as seen on the website Women in Refrigerators.
