misscamARGH BSG.
Those kind of cliffhangers should be illegal. ARGH ARGH. Even if I have read some spoilers and have ideas about what happens, ARGH. I just have to get that out of my system first. But this episode is fucking epic, so lets get to it.
Stuff I liked:
- Acting, really good in this episode. A lot of the actors turned in great stuff, but I must mention EJO especially this week, because damn.
- Laura just casually walks out in Bill's robe and gets coffee in front of Saul. Bwhaha. His reaction and her reaction to his cracked me up, as did Bill's whole casual 'why yes, I AM doing the President, you were saying Saul?' (And she's reading a book, I love this continued book thing with them.) The following 'domestic' scene with just Laura and Bill felt bittersweet - she shows she can't quite let go of presidential habits, he shows he knows it, and their affection for each other is clear throughout. They really do see through each other and she lured one of his rare laughs out too. Oh man, these two kill me. Also, I did note that Saul and Bill's conversation mentioned the tylium ship situation as happening a few days prior, so in my head, Laura and Bill spent those days reading and frakking and being happy. Shut up, it's real in my head.
- Laird's death. Not a huge or important character as so, but one fans would recognise and feel something for and fuck :(
- That not all those on Gaeta's side were total assholes (though some were), and that Zarek and Gaeta do have some good points at times. It fits with BSG's colour spectrum, where things rarely are black and white. It also shows that humans can do really bad things to each other over divisions that make sense - the most heartbreaking kind of conflict that can be the one you understand why happens, when it's very hard to find someone to direct your anger at completely.
- Kickass!Kara returning. I know![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lotus79 was verrah happy with this and the saving of Lee with following kiss, and really, Lee and Kara like that I can totally be fine with. It's not my ship, but I like the shift in balance they are. Kara gets to do all the stuff that traditionally the male will do in a couple and is hardcore. Also loved how they went to find mummy, as it were.
- Tyrol. Rocking it, organising stuff, maybe the one of the Five that can be be the bridge between the Cylons and humans. Saul doesn't want the job, Tory seems to have gone a bit too far the other way, Anders is still mostly being pretty.
- The anger in this episode, both Adama's and Gaeta's. I really felt it, and those two are not done with each other. But Gaeta, you're going to die horribly. Really, you are. Laura is going to kill you with brainpower alone if nothing else.
- Return of Pegasus crew and stuff from season two! Really reminds me how much has happened in this show.
- Tigh and Adama are so BFF. It really is love, just not romantic kind. The way the old men just kick ass in this episode as much as the younger ones just crack me up. Not to mention at the moment the epic romances of the show is Tigh/Ellen and Laura/Bill. It ain't all about the young 'uns. I like this.
- Baltar and Roslin cracks me up. The way she got use of his wireless was smashing, her speech was great, and Baltar's attempt to talk Gaeta out of it was so Baltar. Baltar just really wants to be a hero sometimes. It's too bad he's so crap at it and really good at surviving instead.
- President Roslin, please be here to stay again.
- Adama and Roslin suck face in front of everyone present, managing to be awesome, hilarious, sweet and heartbreaking all at once. I love how he puts his guns down and walk up to her very steady and deliberately, not looking away, and just goes for the kiss. She's obviously caught by surprise for a second, then is totally into it. Lee is adorably uncomfortable, Kara is all 'I'm not going to watch this, lalala', Baltar looks like he wants in on the action, and the whole thing is a bit 'Adama and Roslin show everyone how they feel about each other. WITH TONGUES'. Which I'm all for. Then they go and break my heart by Laura whispering to him with her voice just a little unsteady, her hand in his hair and kissing his head and the look on his face when he pulls back abd looks at her. GUH. I love how he doesn't really say much and still manages to communicate to her and to us watching how he feels. She knows he's staying, he knows she's going, because they're the President and the Admiral and they love each other and that is part of the package. I love how Baltar has to rush them, because they really don't want to let go of each other but they are who they are. Really, they kill me.
Stuff I didn't like:
- NO CLIFFHANGER NO
- It is also totally depressing so see people turn on each other. Oh Gaeta, what have you done?
- Racetrack :(
- Um, I will think of more later when my brain isn't overloading.
What should happen in the next episode(s), no concern for spoilers:
- Kara and Lee kick more ass and has adrenaline!frak, just forlotus79.
- Zarek goes out in battle like a revolutionary should.
- Helo, Athena, Anders and Caprica Six break themselves out and proceed to kick ass.
- Bill DOES NOT DIE.
- Tigh DOES NOT DIE.
- Laura DOES NOT DIE and also is awesomely Presidential.
- Gaeta does not get to die heroically in battle, but is instead captured and made to face the consequences of his choices.
- The aftermath of the mutiny is not black and white, and has people on both sides regret what went down.
- Bill and Laura has a reunion that kills me for all the right reasons.
- Cavil reappears, gets blown out of the sky, Galactica finds a lovely planet and they all live happily ever after. The end. Shut up, I can live in my delusions.
A week, how am I going to survive a week until next episode? ARGH.
