I don't really have much of an opinion on tonight's BSG seeing as it felt like so much of a build up for next week's ep.
Reading my flist, it seems people believe Lee is the root of all evil (duh duh DUN!) (discussion question TM
wisteria_.) Huh. I thought things were quite clearly written so that we were (for the most part) on Lee's side. But maybe that's just me. I've always been a Lee fan.
- Anyways, I was torn as to whether Lee's big revelation was that Laura was back on the chamalla or that she and his dad were doing it. And my heart just broke a little when she pulled her "Captain Apollo. Remember that?" Oh! Ron! You remember that she and Lee used to be close!
- I, like Lee, also didn't assume she was back on the grass (or whatever form it takes. Pills, I think) because her cancer returned. I just assumed that because they were getting nearer to the nebula, she thought they might need some visionary guidance or whatever. I always liked that mystical crap back in the day, so I say bring on the chamalla!
- I also (likely mistakenly) took Lee's resignation with a grain of salt. When they need him back in the cockpit, they'll hand him back his wings I think. The man has committed mutiny and then 6 months later was the commander of a battleship. Speaking of which, Helo's the XO again? I laughed at that. And his ability to smell cylons.
- I did worry Racetrack was toast there for a minute. (or maybe bread for the toaster? *rimshot*)
- Dee's reason for leaving seemed to be sort of flimsy. I can't decide if it was just shoddy overall storytelling or if her and Lee having more trouble was cut, or if it was supposed to be clear that they were both just looking for a way out that wasn't Kara.
- I thought, though it may just have been me holding my breath, that there was an extra long space where Katee's name was supposed to be during the credits, but it was hard to tell because no normal credits. Is that the first time they've done that?
Now, the shallow:
- Lee! In a suit! Quite the natty suit, actually. Where did they find it? Or, better yet, how did they find one to fit the arms? And the white shirt! Hooray! Let's keep Lee a civvie so we can see more clothes!
- Sam! In uniform! Would have been nice for someone to mention that, yes? Anyways, he and Seelix, eh? Hmm. Oh! Hey! Remember when Lee told him he'd make a good officer? And now Sam's in the military and Lee's not.
- Oh! And Laura's snap about Tory's hair! As I said to the cat, "It's not bad enough that she's questioning your professionalism. Now she's questioning your hair." I just giggled and giggled!
I apparently had more to say than I thought.
I spent part of this weekend watching the first season ('33' through '6 Degrees of Seperation'). Man. It's almost like watching an entirely different show. You know what I miss? Baltar's house.
I'm currently feeling quite bleh, but I have work to do, so I should get to that.
In conclusion, I love this new Avril song.
