pirateygoodnessOkay. I'm going to be up front about this, because it's the final half-season, and whatever. There are three characters on BSG that I completely nothing. I don't dislike them, I just. . .nothing them. One of these is Laura Roslin. I'm sorry.
I do have lots of other thoughts on BSG, though! I thoughtfully wrote them down for you all.
bsg 4.11: sometimes a great notion
My baby cylons! I LOVE my baby cylons! Gaius Baltar and his crack team of sex-robot archaeologists! Tyrol used to be an avocado-buying dandy! Anders was apparently some kind of white robot Hendrix!?
Kara! Jesus. When your crazy destiny visibly freaks out Leoben, the captain of crazy quasi-religious ramblings, you know you are fucked. I liked that moment with her and Lee, but I - well, I'm a little sad that Dee's death was, in a way, a means of delaying that ridiculous "BTW, I found my own corpse and all the cylons are scared of me, what should I do?" revelation that is going to be FUN, UPLIFTING TIMES.
Which brings me, of course, to Dee! That was - actually really really brilliantly done, but I'm going to miss her. A lot.Also, I am petty and shallow, and now resent having Gaeta in scenes because I'm all how's your bisexuality, toolbag? Visible? Fuck you. But aside from me being a crazy person and resenting Gaeta existing in her death, it was - yeah. Subtle and totally believable. I kind of loved how everyone's response was "I don't know why she did it," when literally everyone in existence is about three steps away from being in that same state of mind.
(If anyone wants to recap me on what happened in his webisodes, feel free? I watched the first one and it made me too cranky to continue. Pretty much all I've picked up is "Gaeta is bisexual and maybe one of the Eights was a serial killer and he nailed her.")
*sigh* Also, Ellen Tigh is not the fifth cylon. I take this as clear evidence that the final fifth is female, but pretty much nothing else. After all, man - Tigh's trips to Ellen Tigh Hallucination Towne are what were responsible for my favourite storyline EVER (where is Cylon Crack-Baby Pregnant Caprica in all of this? Why isn't Tigh comforting her and her scary mystery fetus in this time of need?). I have no reason to believe it'd be any different now.
