Battlestar Galactica: Daybreak (part the last, ever)
So, my interest plummeted around the fifty minute mark for reasons that I'm sure y'all can guess.
Oh, baby, they really set you up for a horrible fate no matter what. If you didn't have control and tried your hardest, people were cold. When you didn't have control and unwillingly committed a terrible crime, you were never forgiven, despite the ability of people to later forgive those complicit in genocide (which you weren't). Any time you tried to do good, it all went wrong, but when you gave up and went bad, it still went wrong. You never got a chance. And I never stopped loving you.
*sigh*
The flashbacks were also made of a lot of awesome. Enjoyed those (especially Lee actually articulating my frustration at Adama -- the writers do know. They don't seem to care, but they know). I'm not a big fan of shoot'em'ups, so that part was pretty lost on me.
I was pleased at the Caprica/Gauis reunion and Lee has very amusing hair.
Interest rose slightly when Helo got shot (am vindicative, apparently) and Hera ran off.
And again when she ran away from Roslin. Didn't the dream have her end up with Caprica and Gaius? Oh, look, there she is!
The Opera House stuff was really enjoyable.
Okay, I loved Gaius' speech.
When Tyrol snapped and started killing Tory for killing Cally and then the entire bridge broke out into shooting, I giggled.
When Cavil shot himself, I flat-out laughed. That probably wasn't the desired reaction, but I can't be sure. Maybe it was.
The Kara-music-Dad thing was sweet, though, and interesting. Kara Thrace, congrats, I still care about you and want you to succeed! This is better than the majority of the characters right now are doing.
Yay, more flashbacks! I'm really enjoying those, actually.
Really, all the trailers being shown are almost my favorite part -- the new ST trailer showed McCoy introducing himself to Kirk!
And, thankfully, there was a trailer for Kings. I'm got my fingers crossed for that ratings boost. I want my new show of awesome to live!
So, I kinda spent the first part of the ending rolling my eyes at the sap and wishing that the planet would blow up for some excitement. Probably not the best response.
Also, does this mean we get to blame the BSG crew for making the human race fuck up the environment?
And the flashback reveals that Adama has always been just this self-righteous! A test that countless other people have taken, but Bill Adama is too good for it.
Tyrol going off all by himself made me want to give him the biggest hug. And his little bemused noise, since he's well aware that Tigh, you know, killed Ellen that once.
Ellen and Tigh got a happy ending, it looks like. I'm happy for them, I truly am. They're dysfunctional, but sweet.
I was amused by Adama declaring that this is so Earth. And I'm glad that Roslin had someone with her as she died (much as I wish their relationship had started when they weren't the two heads of government).
The Adama/Roslin-Lee/Kara goodbye was actually kinda sweet... and then Lee reminded me of what a cruddy father his dad always was. Lee's hair remains amusing.
And then Lee went all adorable and... huh. Okay, Kara = angel, then? She did die back then, really and truly. I'm actually surprised, show, good job!
Really enjoyed the Roslin flashbacks.
Um... the wedding ring thing kinda creeped me out, I have to say. If you want to marry someone, ask them before they die, don't shove the ring on afterwards. I know that it was supposed to be touching, but... creeped out!
The trailer for BSG: The Plan made me crack up. Seriously, laughing so hard, because they so did not. At least, not a coherent and consistent one.
Wow, my investment in the Helo-Athena happiness is pretty much nil.
Caprica and Gaius ending up together was pretty sweet, though.
Angel!Gaius and Caprica were cute, as well. If a bit anvil-y.
Have to say, though, I didn't end up caring about exploring this universe any further. It feels done. Finished.
