swatkatHI SHOW I LOVE YOU
Before I go ahead with my episode rambling, let me tell you about my BSG dream. It began with Adama dying because someone put a bomb under his pillow and then everyone cried (I did too. in the dream. I'm not sure why I was in Galactica). And there was something about Baltar and evil cosmetics dealers. Yes, I was horribly excited about this episode, can you tell?
First, LAURA ROSLIN OMG. Or, shall we say, Laura 'Scrooge' Roslin? She cannot love her people! Because she's so single-minded and determined to save their souls she has distanced herself from them! And then comes Head!Elosha, the Ghost of Christmas Future, and Laura Roslin learns to love again. Thankfully, if there's one thing the Adamas are good at, it's at loving people, so she's in good hands. Yes, it's going to end in tears, because I know they are both going to die. Yes, it made me happy anyway. 'About time', indeed. ♥
Also, I am glad that I was more or less right about Roslin's increasing Cain-like crazy: if she did let Baltar die, she *would* have been Cain.
"You're not married to the entire product-line."
"If you're my subconscious, then I've got to say you're a little full of myself."
I loved the Roslin-Baltar bickering. And Baltar, way to hit on Roslin when you're DYING!
"I was the one holding the child! Obviously I was the one protecting the child! Wasn't I? In the Opera House?"
"It wasn't all clear what you were doing in the Opera House."
...
"Obviously you've done this a thousand times before."
"I'm doing the same thing you are!"
"You're not actually. Because if you watch what I'm doing. I'm actually focusing on her. Alright?" (Yells at Hybrid)
"The only thing you're doing is yelling!"
I liked Baltar in an episode after a long, long time. He was almost dying, and I actually didn't want him to die, which is a very strange reaction coming from me. THANK YOU, TPTB, for the confession. THANK YOU. I'm still not on board the Baltar-is-Jesus plotline, though.
Although. OMG. Is *he* the Dying Leader?
The Eights break my heart. All the Cylons are love's bitch, but the Eights just never win, do they? They're 'passionate allies', as Cavil said, and they keep getting screwed over and over again.
Boomer, you used to kick ass. Cavil called you his 'pet Eight', and you LET HIM? (Boomer/Tyrol OTP 4evah)
Helo is a sweetheart. Admiral Helo, anyone? (Also, is he the final Cylon?)
THE CYLONS ARE MORTAL NOW OMG. AND D'ANNA IS BACK. MY FAVOURITEST CYLON IS BACK, AND SHE IS ALREADY KICKING ASS. MY CUP RUNNETH OVER.
Visually, the destruction of the Hub was beautifully done, with some added creepy background music.
In conclusion: Laura Roslin is made of awesome.
