[BSG] Blood on the Scales
a.k.a. Adama gets his ship back.
Well, there was so much going on in this episode, I was almost overwhelmed and have to totally rewatch. Also, the dh watched with me for the first time in 2 years and asked questions every 2 minutes, "Who's a cylon now?" "Why is Adama under arrest?" "Who the heck is Romo?" (when Romo showed up, I had said, "Romo!"). OTOH, he totally remembered Kelly, and Helo being with Sharon.
Zarek shot the whole quorum! Didn't see that coming.
I still don't think the mutineers were absolutely wrong, and Narcho (the jackass!) got to be the flip side of Lee's comment last week. Oh show. You make everything in 1000 shades of grey.
My absolute favourite, favourite scene of the episode was Kara totally headslamming the guy while he was peeing, casually catching his gun belt while he dropped like a stone to the floor, and wordlessly handing it off to Lee who was standing with his hand out, waiting. SO PERFECT. And then almost - but not quite - outdone by the continutaion of that Pilots! scene with Lee perfectly plotting the takeout of the Marine guard, pilots shooting marvelously and perfectly in sync, and totally teasing Kara about the grenade fakeout. LMAO and an AWESOME illustration of our Pilots! characterizations over the run of the show: Kara's answer to everything is almost impulsive brute force and power; Lee's solutions are more thought out, and hinge on plotting and accuracy.
Must have more Pilots!
Oh, and Sam gets shot. Well, if he dies then both Lee and Kara no longer have spouses. La la la la la. Just saying... (DON'T SPOIL ME)
Oh, and Tricia Helfer is absolutely stunning as any version of Six other than the platinum Caprica type.
Oh, and Tyrol discovers his beloved ship is really falling apart (cool engine room shots, by the way. Reminded me of similar shots of the Titanic (James Cameron movie version) engine room. Who wants to bet 100$ that now that the FTL is offline and the ship is damaged, that this is the perfect time for Cavill & Co to jump back into the fray with a battle?
I won't miss Gaeta (someone please tell me why - I asked this 2 years back and don't think I ever got an answer - that Gaeta wears pilot wings on his uniform? He was never a pilot.) but I will miss Zarek. Oh Tom. Bastille Day and Kobol. Ah well.
Will anyone be left standing? (DON'T SPOIL ME)
Only 6 hours left. ::SOB::
