BSG - Maelstrom

[circe]

First viewing impressions. 2nd viewing in 60 min.

Wiping the tears from my cheeks. I didn't think I would be affected like this. After all, I did read the damn spoilers for months now.

I am a VERY sad fangirl. I love your theory on how she's not dead. I will now cling to your theory as a possible hope. :( I don't want Kara to be dead!

I have to say that the only thing that made the end of the episode even slightly bearable was the little Ron monster eating RDM at the end. I love those end credit things.

I really can't believe she is. Lots of people are theorizing she is one of the Final Five. Who knows. But I think she will be back for season 4. I am sure that by summertime, we will have some clues/spoilers popping up.

I usually avoid spoilers like the plague. I desperately wish I hadn't been spoiled for this episode. I might be up for a definitive "she's not dead" spoiler though. No details, just acknowledgement of them not permanantly killing off my favorite character.

I'm hoping she's not a final five, but she'll be marooned on the planet ala old school BSG. Or even better Leoban picks her up in the heavy raider and things progress from there. More mind frakked Kara, is still Kara.

I love Leoben and Kara together. I think she was discovering that she is supposed to be reborn so to speak. I tried to pay more attention to the 2nd showing to pick up on what was said. Did you catch the definite 2001 music used near the end right before she went to speak to her dying mom in bed? Leoben was not Leoben, he was the one to lead her to the door to go to the place that hovers between life and death.

That is the same place D'Anna loved to hang out during in her suicide run. The place between life and death, where the final 5 are hanging out being all robey. So my take on it is that Kara knows this but only subconsciously. Head!Leoben was the manifestation of that subconscious.

Aside from all that, KaraLeoben paint sex was hot.

2001? The Space Odessy thingie? I never watched it.

I noticed the Kara/3 connection and I'm hoping there's something more to it... like something that involves Kara not being dead.

The 2001 music/sound that was used is the tone you hear when gazing upon the obelisk that was found. You stare into the blackness of it and it is like you are looking into the abyss, and the tone just adds to it. Plus, there is a starchild in it. heheh

You need to watch this sci-fi classic. It is absolutely outstanding.

I keep meaning too, but school basically makes me redefine "free time" as "time in which I could get seven hours of sleep, but don't." Eventually I'll watch it. Just like eventually I'll watch Donnie Darko. :)
