I ended the work week on a high and was feeling pretty good on Friday. After watching Collaborators, I feel depressed. The pain+rage Kara and Tigh are going through are just too much. Their story line is so powerful and their pain palpable, my brain has been eaten. KS and MH really are fantastic.
Have people overestimated K+T's "recovery" after being libertaed from NC? That they could go back to being "normal?" No one seems to realise that they need help. Isn't there a mind dcotor who they can talk to on board on of the ships? Ugh. I would think there would be some protocol to treat soldiers/civillians for post traumatic stress. Certainly our all caring Madame Presient would have thought of this????? It is like they are walking around bleeding to death in front of everyone's eyes and no one gives a frak.
I also saw SciFi's exclusive materials and it showed a few scenes from next week's "Torn." Poor Kara -- it looks like it only gets worse with Adama being so tough on her. Not to mention Kat is back being her usual obnoxious self, and this cannot be good. The clips showed the lead up to the hair cutting scene and it looked very powerful. She carries a knife strapped to her leg(!) and is going to use it to hack off the hair.
Surely Kara cannot be "cured" when she recommits to the miltary, but I hope she gets back a purpose to live. Cos right now I think she would rather be dead. (Once again in those few scenes Katee's face communicates more than a bazillion words ever could.)
