Again, spoilerage!
THIS is what BSG used to be! I am so glad it came back...even if only for one episode. Who knows, maybe I'm like Roslin, momentarily euphoric as my body recovers from Toxic Show. We'll see next week, although I am very hopeful for that episode (whereas I wasn't for this week, hmm...).
Gaeta sucks. I can't believe I picked him for Fantasy Battlestar again. *sighs* I'm probably just lashing out at him because he wasn't the Final Cylon, haha.
Some WTF's and eyerolls this episode included Hot Dog and Tyrol (seriously, the Quadrangle of Doom was enough soap opera, why did we need to add a 'Who's the Daddy' without much time for questioning?) and Baltar. Did Baltar even know what he was babbling about? BSG did the religion thing really well first and second seasons, but it's not doing it so hot as of late. At least he doesn't look like the Western conception of Jesus anymore. He *was* funny when Hot Dog and Chief were beating the crap out of each other, and he just ignored them and kept smoking. Definitely a Baltar moment, like the ones of old.
And I can now die a happy shipper. A/R SEX. CANON. WHOO. And it was very well done, at least I think so. My hopes keep telling me that she'll fall deeper in love and not want to give up, but the "prophecy" that the Hybrid/Elosha showed her, with Adama saying, "I'm not going to be selfish anymore" and his constant uttering of, "We need you" to her this episode, it has me worried.
Adama bluffing and winning over Zarek was priceless. It was a definite win in the episode.
Tigh wasn't in this episode much, he's bringing down my team! Also, where the hell are Tory and Sam? Have they fallen into a Pit of Despair or something?
Overall, definite smiley face for this member of
bsg_recovery.
