That there Exodus sure is purty.
So, humanity breaks camp and heads back out on the longest road trip ever.
That was great. No fantastic. This show is just simply one of the best shows ever put on TV, bar no. And what’s even better is that it’s Science Fiction, but kind that doesn’t get bogged down with the science techno babble and instead concentrates on people.
Basically, this was the great big space battle, standard stuff in Sci-fi flicks, but like most things in BSG, it wasn’t point. There were tons of great little moments, little threads that just make it so much more than sci-fi soap opera. Tigh killing Ellen and him breaking down over it. J and the way he did it! AND SHE KNEW IT! He knew she would want a drink from him, so he just lets her take but you never saw him poison it. You’re just left thinking “Hey, why isn’t Tigh drinking, he ALWAYS drinks” and why is Ellen looking at him like THAT and then it dawns on you and then you think about all the shit he’s been through and that she's down and what’s happened to him (the limp and missing eye) and it just breaks your heart. Really great acting by Michael Hogan and Kate Vernon.
Poor Starbuck. After risking so much for Kacy and somehow, someway giving herself (if just a little bit) to Leoban and then finding out it was for naught: that mindfuck is gonna stay with her. No, Kara, that’s not your baby, Leoban was just messing with you. She’s going to kill him lots and since he can’t really die, she’s just going to be reminded of it all over again.
“I’m ready to go now.” says Laura “that’s MY ride” Roslin. Perfect, perfect way for the President to regain her power and ship. Or IS she President? Probably by default since Baltar is on a road trip and Tom doesn't seem to want it anymore. Still if she has to run, she’s got a great slogan: “I told you not to go the damn planet.”
Really great effects, but damn good cinematography to, like when Galatica jumped into the atmosphere and released all her fighters in blazing ball of wrath and vengeance or when she was going down for the final count, only to be saved by the returning Pegasus. Yeah, you knew it was going to happen, but damn it just looked good. We're talking movie quality award winning effects here
Heartbreaking though. Tigh and Adama’s reunion and the gulf between them as Adama is regarded as hero while Tigh is ...well, not regarded, hell not even noticed. Didi you notice Gatea in the background, just sitting down broken on a Raptor. Starbuck’s REALLY crazy now, the Cyclons finally have Boomer’s kid, Baltar is on the loose with a Six and the human race is on the run again, this time permanently.
Yeah, everything is back the way it was, but nothing will be the same again.
