BSG 3x15 Thoughts
- I don't even want to make running comments on this episode. Do I care about Adama's inner, wife-related pain? Maybe he and Lee can get together for a pity party.
- I have this sneaking suspicion that the best part of this ep will be the cut Gaeta & Dee scene (that I already saw, and wow! It was awesome!)
- I think Cally is the most wet-blanket mum ever.
- I want to write a fic about the BSG Fleet knitting pool. They make baby hats like the one the Chief's kid has! And sweaters for Roslin! And they come up with new and exciting ways to make yarn. I'm sure that Gaeta is a member, and so is Tory (it helps her relax). Also the knitting pool has the best gossip in the Fleet.
- Soft glow flashbacks and voice-overs are lame. That's all I'm saying.
- I'm eating yoghurt. It's really good.
- Hey! Look, it's that deck hand guy we haven't seen since the ep when they built that ship. What happened to that ship? The Blackbird?
- I totally think Seelix is hot.
- This is going to end with Chief and Cally making up and being all cutesy and lovey, isn't it? And then I might feel ill.
- These flashbacks are really, really dumb! And is it just me, or is her bitterness/slight nastiness reminiscent of Ellen Tigh? Also, these are dumb.
- Are we ever going to see what's happening to Caprica Six? I never saw that cut scene with her and Roslin, although I hear it kicked ass.
- WTF? Hotdog and Helo are BFF? Wait. Hotdog had that crush on Sharon, right? I'm thinking - threesome. Hey! Gotta unwind sometimes, right? But OMG! He's brought space STDs into the relationship! That jerk! No more threesomes for you, Hotdog!
- Seal the hull breach with gum! That's what MacGyver would do! WHERE'S YOUR CHEWING GUM, CHIEF?
- I love that Sharon's the one flying the rescue Raptor.
- So. What exactly happens to kids on the Fleet when their parents aren't there for them? Because that sounds pretty ominous and horrible.
- OH YUCK. Chief was fighting with Cally because he wanted her with him all the time? What kind of fucked up relationship is that? Or fucked up excuse?
- Oooh, let's share our oxygen masks! It's so sweet it's icky.
- There is a strong possibility that I am an overly cynical person.
- I kind of feel like Cally will die.
- "I blame you for my unhappy childhood, Daddy Adama!" Oh, Lee.
- Hahah, so what's-her-name Adama was a drunk, just like Ellen Tigh. And unstable, just like Ellen Tigh. Wow, this is kind of easy and convenient writing. No new thoughts/characters need to be created! Just recycle Ellen!
- Hahahah! Hey Nicky, your mommy lives in a metal box!
- Oh, I am a bad person.
- But seriously, did anyone else kind of laugh when Chief was all, "Let's go see mommy" and then we say that pressure chamber? Or am I really, really a bad, bad person?
- Stop showing us shots of Cally's bloodshot eye. It's gross! I have to look away!
- Oh for god's sake, Adama and Roslin! Just get it on! You know you want to! Stop being so angsty and foolish. "Talk more about that night" better = "Have sex because we're so hot for each other".
So, this didn't suck as much as I thought it would. But I'm still not loving BSG. I'm rapidly losing interest. Oh, BSG! Remember the good old days, the days when I was swooning from your post-apocalyptic travails? The days of Sharon and Helo on Caprica, and mysterious cylon plans, and cool rescues, and less overblown angst? When there was plot? When Chief was interesting? When hey, even Lee was somewhat interesting. Yeah, those were the days.
Also I take it back - the best thing about this ep wasn't the cut Gaeta/Dee scene. Although that scene is pretty awesome. The best thing was the evidence of Helo/Hotdog/Sharon and also SPACE STDs. Helo/Hotdog/Sharon --> it's canon!
Well, maybe it's canon in my head, anyway.
