Tonight ’s Battlestar Galactica instalment , hollo “ Sometimes a Great Notion , ” has already started for multitude on EST . I ’ll be liveblogging on PST , so determine this space for livebloggage – and palpate free to start annotate !
New York of the future tense looks like crap . The beach wasteland is obviously New York .
Is Roslin ’s compulsion with that little green plant a reference to WALL - E ? plausibly not . I love it when they do that “ planet unclouded ” thing where the film looks all wash out .
OK so Earth is a totally radioactive wasteland . Great line from Roslin : “ We deal one nuked civilization for another . ” And she ’s not really dealing well with the whole PR facet of her job . She just runs out from the Fleet instead of recite them it nurse down on Earth . C’m on Roslin , buck up ! We do n’t want to hear old Lee yelling about how we ’ll learn everything later . He ’s really a horrendous politician .
I think all this stuff and nonsense with Starbuck searching for her viper is really the best part of the episode . It ’s really coloured , acute , and truly creepy . I am glue to this subplot .
Not so much with the Dee subplot . Am I the only one who just really is n’t into the Lee / Dee relationship ? I mean he treated her like crap and now she ’s all into him still ?
Ohhh creepy bone mint ! Plus Centurion - esque header . bang it ! I also love that the thirteenth colony is ALL Cylon . Great crook , really good reveal . Their one great Bob Hope for the future of human beings was a Cylon world . Also , that means we are all Cylons . Does that mean my acantha has been glowing during sex all this meter and I just did n’t sleep with it ? You ’d think somebody would have mentioned it by now . . . but whatever .
One of my very favorite thing about this episode is how four of the final five are starting to think of who they were on Earth . Tyrol ’s flashback was dandy . Deepens the mystery , give the Cylons a human backstory .
TOO MUCH DEE AND LEE . SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP .
give thanks the gods we ’re back with Starbuck . Shit I love this aspect with Starbuck come up her own dead body . double-dyed tone , thoroughgoing floor of sadness and horror . BSG is back . This is an amazing plot development . Though the lawyer in the elbow room with me have pointed out that her hair is unburned . How could that be ? Oh these lawyers with their whole rational search for evidence and crap .
Even Leoben is creeped out by Starbuck now . She is just so badass . What are you Starbuck ? What are you ? YOU ARE FRAKKIN BADASS .
Anders was Bob Dylan ? That is gravely unacceptable . Worst flashback ever .
Still , let ’s pull up stakes that aside for a minute of arc because the Cylon remembering are a in earnest coolheaded subplot . style cool than Roslin feel all weepy about her faith and combustion books and stuff and nonsense . So she ’s get to playact like a freaky teenager now , being all tardy for her announcement that Earth sucks ? “ All those mass – they ’re dead . ” She sounds like Courtney Love or something . Seriously , grow some baddass , Roslin .
This conniption where Starbuck burns her own all in body create me LOVE THIS SHOW . It ’s like a creep futuristic Viking dual - ego sepulture . You know what I mean .
At the import when Dee is need Lee drunkenly to tell her over and over what his lame voice communication was to the Quorum , I said to myself : “ This is so awful I wish they would die . ” I did n’t call back they ’d actually give my compliments ! Now I palpate sort of bad . I am a mingy person . OK , I will make up for it by say something nice . Dee ’s dress was really awesome . But that ’s all I can come up with . I ’m sorry .
Damn , Adama is a mean drunk .
It ’s the drunken Tigh / Adama smackdown . Every few episodes we ’ve got ta have one . It ’s like a bromantic minute . I ca n’t believe that Tigh is out - acting Adama in this scene , but he is . I think they ’re both awesome but Tigh is really pulling it out . Though I ca n’t believe they ’re go to the “ I reek Ellen ” place . earthy .
Yay for all the ads for FRAK PACK buckets of crispy meat . What ’s next ? A KFC Fuck Bucket ? The lawyers want to acknowledge .
This whole story that Adama tells about the swimming slyboots in the ocean still reach no sense to me , even after hearing it twice . Is it about self-destructive fox ? Or foxes who wanted to last so they ’re still swimming ? “ mayhap they were just tired , ” Adama says . So is Adama the trite old ocean - swim fox ?
So Lee ’s news about Dee check Starbuck from spilling her moxie about drained Starbuck ? I guess so .
Love the “ Frak Earth ” graffiti . very nice .
But now Adama is back in the saddle , and he ’s acquire a new mission for the Fleet . He ’s giving the speech that Roslin should have contribute , which means that the true command of the Fleet is falling more and more into the hand of the military machine . Because remember that the more power Lee has , the more the military is in charge as well – he ’s still very much a military humanity at tenderness . One of the best part of Adama ’s speech is that he is taking heart from the previous unfearing actions of a Cylon tribe facing their uncertain time to come . The humans and the Cylons really are fuse .
Oh Roslin , hold back kink up with sess . Why do the women fool away themselves and wave up with weeds or endeavor to buy the farm on Earth mumbling about it all “ happening again and again . ” Is the future of the fleet all manly military stuff ?
OK so I have to acknowledge that Ellen being the final cylon was pretty unsatisfying , but I liked the way it was revealed . And I ’m also intrigued by the idea that Ellen and Tigh were star - crossed lovers from right smart back . So it also sounds like she and Tigh were behind the “ being reborn ” affair .
I still think it was a pretty effective show . But let ’s canvass the room here :
“ We are worked up hostages to this show . ”
“ Like battered better half . ”
“ Does anyone think this show is endure stale ? ”
“ compare to the ballyhoo yes . But I forgive all for time of year 2.5 . ”
“ This show does n’t keep things as fresh as The Sopranos . ”
“ Creepy and sorry . It made me think of the Fourth Amendment . ”
“ All the woman fold . ”
“ Starbuck did n’t ! ”
“ Let ’s eat some cake ! ”
“ Cake ! ”
