Battlestar Galactica - 413 - The Oath
OH MY GOD WHAT THE FRAK PANSERBJØRNE.
Really, that's pretty much all I have to say. I mean, I do have thinky thoughts and shallow thoughts but mostly my brain's been stuck on STUNNED ever since I watched the episode this morning. And three re-watches later, I'm still going O_o at everything and can it be next Friday NOW PLEASE?
Okay. *breathes* Let's see if I can write some stuff down.
- OMG STARBUCK SHOOTING FIRST AND SHOOTING LATER. *girlcrushes* Do not put a gun on Lee's head, people, because then you have to deal with Kara. Oh yeah.
- And OMG PILOTS! With the kissing and "it's you and me" and being all buddy!cop and HOT and hey, Lee, thanks for the haircut!
- So Starbuck told everyone about the body she found on Earth, huh? That was unexpected -- I mean, I figured she'd tell Lee, but now everybody knows. Okay. I can see how that fits the whole "us" versus "them" thing they got going right now.
- Felix Gaeta. Laura is right, who woulda thunk?
- But the worst thing is that while Gaeta thinks he's doing what's right [or, you know, doing what he knows], I'm now 100% sure Tom Zarek is doing what can get him the greatest amount of power in the shortest amount of time. And if I would speculate, my bet would be the second the evil!Cylons show up he makes a deal with them? There's very little I hate in the world more than faux-revolutionaries.
- Although... they are really doing "big names in the credits" vs. "also starring low-paying people. And Gaeta", aren't they? Hee.
- Speaking of which, why hello whole bunch of minor characters we hadn't seen in for-fraking-ever and suddenly! You're all there playing for the other side. [Hi hi hi Ryan Robbins, ILU! I had totally forgotten you played psycho!killer on BSG? Hee. And Craig Veroni was back playing Maldonado, and o hai, Sebastian Spence, long time no see! Seriously, this episode was like an all-encompassing Vancouver-filmed!sci-fi-series crossover of DOOM. Specially when you add Jen Halley and Leah Cairns to the mix.]
- Speaking of which again: WHAT THE FRAK, SEELIX? WHAT THE FRAK, RACETRACK? Seriously, what the frak is wrong with you people?
- You guuuuys! The Chief told Lee to go get his father and I CRIED. Oh, Chief. You're so totally my favorite Dylan5 it's not even funny.
- Although: Dear Michael Hogan: the amounts of blinding deep abiding LOVE I have for you right now are unsurmountable. It's come to a point where the thing I look forward the most in each episode is to watch you ACT your socks off and make everyone else in a scene with you disappear completely.
- Alright, alarmist to-be-continued of doom -- you think you fooled me, but you totally didn't, because I've watch one too many cop shows/Stargates to know a stun grenade when I see it. So pfffft! Papa Adama and Tigh are totally alive. Blind and deaf and unconscious? Maybe. But alive. The end.
