I love my depressing showauroramamaMarch 2 2009, 05:05:49 UTC
So I was like, "On what other show could a tired, confused woman curled up next to her comatose husband be the feel-good moment?"
I mean, I have to admire the show for letting me hate Laura (whom I love) so much during her scene with Tyrol and then having her be completely correct. Except... no, maybe there was no way at all to persuade Tyrol that it was OK to just hand her over to be executed. And Laura's patience has grown shorter with her life.
But man is that depressing. And what the hell did Galen Tyrol ever do to deserve this? Also, Cavil has so much less reason to be pissed off at Ellen and the Five than the Eights do. Imagine coming face to face with the people who apparently designed you to fall in love like falling on a knife. (Anyway, who says the Five knew how to design, say, optics that could watch a supernova *and* make the experience as sensual as The Swirl? Cavil doesn't just want to detect the amplitude of light at various wavelengths, he wants it to feel totally cool. The Hybrids may have something like that, but it ought to make Cavil think twice about the fact that they're all insane.

haha, that is so damn true!
BSG puts us all through the ringer so much that the most heartbreaking moments can be beautiful and uplifting!
On the one hand, I don't think Galen deserves this kind of betrayal AT ALL. The poor guy has been in love with this woman for forever and she dangles a gorgeous vision of love and domestic bliss in front of him. BUT. He was willing to just kill a random Eight and lie/sneak to get her off the ship, so he's not exactly 100% innocent either.
I'm really curious about ship-hybrids now after seeing the preview. Maybe we'll get more insight into why they were created and what they mean?
