I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood OF EPIC FLAIL
UM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What. (It's Friday. It must be time for capslock and large fonts!)
THEY DIDN'T JUST KILL LAURA AND HERA IN ONE SINGLE ACTION, RIGHT? edit: NEVER MIND? SEE BELOW.
FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIL. I YELLED AT MY TV. FOR REAL. ALL "BOOMER, NO. BOOMER, DON'T YOU FUCKING DO IT," FOLLOWED LATER BY, "WAIT, WHAT ABOUT LAURA. GUYS, WHAT ABOUT LAURA. WHAT. ABOUT. LAURA."
(Boy, that Helo/Boomer sex was mega explicit! SciFi doesn't exercise its ~cable~ status too often, I'm glad it could rise to the occasion. [/Michael Scott])
(Speaking of Boomer, that part where Tyrol asks her to project their ~dream house~? YEAH, CRYING. BASICALLY. I had... almost forgotten that they used to be something ["something"] of a bright spot, way back when. OH KIDS.)
(Way to fake me out that the ~song~ was going to be "Someone to Watch Over Me," when it was "All Along the Watchtower" which is like the asjfhaksjf most obvious answer. I think too hard!)
(Was Kara's dad George Gershwin? There was some serious "Rhapsody in Blue" going on in that tape she played at Anders' bedside. Which: OKAY. IS KARA A HYBRID? I FEEL LIKE THIS IS TOO OBVIOUS - AND - NOT RIGHT. Kara is... I don't know, a conduit of some kind. I STAND BY MY THEORY THAT KARA WAS WHAT WARNED THE FINAL FIVE IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU KNOW, THAT THING ANDERS TALKED ABOUT. THE WARNING WAS KARA. HARBINGER OF DEATH.)
UM. BUT SERIOUSLY. NOT THAT, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT ON BOARD THE "LAURA HAS CANCER, LAURA IS GOING TO DIE" TRAIN (OBVIOUSLY), BUT - NOT LIKE THAT. NOT LIKE THAT! SO SHE'S NOT DEAD, RIGHT. SHE JUST, YOU KNOW. FAINTED AND STUFF FROM GRIEF?
RIGHT?
right?
Oh, God.
I'M GOING WITH: LAURA FAINTED IN A FIT OF GRIEF BECAUSE SHE KNEW (SHE KNEW, OH GOD) THAT HERA WAS DEAD. WHICH - I DON'T KNOW, SHOW, WHAT'S WITH ALL THE BABY KILLING LATELY? BECAUSE LET'S FACE IT, I WAS JUST EARLY CONTEMPLATING HOW ~LIKE BILL ADAMA~ I HAD NOT YET COMPLETELY COME TO GRIPS WITH THE FACT THAT, LIKE, LAURA IS GOING TO DIE. LIKE, IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE SHE HAS CANCER AND STUFF. SO I NEED MY SPACE WITH THIS STORYLINE. I KNOW WE'RE RUNNING UP AGAINST THE WALL HERE IN TERMS OF TIME, BUT OH MY GOD DO I NEED MY SPACE. I'M NOT SAYING IT HAS TO BE SENTIMENTAL AND ~SPIRITUAL MARRIAGE~ LIKE IN "FAITH," BUT COME ON. HAVE WE SUCKER-PUNCHED BILL ADAMA THAT MUCH THAT HIS ~WIFE~ DIES OFF-SCREEN AND BECAUSE OF BOOMER? LAME. LAURA ROSLIN IS NOT DEAD. I NEED AT LEAST ONE TEARFUL SICKBAY SCENE, THANK YOU.
edit: Oh, my God. Alan Sepinwall, you wonderful bastard, I TOTALLY MISREAD THIS EPISODE. Boomer scammed Tyrol the entire time, because the ~whole point~ of letting Ellen escape was to GET HERA. IT'S ALL A GAME.
HERA'S NOT DEAD AND NEITHER IS LAURA.
WIN.
