The Resistance 3 & 4
It's Webisode time!
I've got here a double review for the latest two webbies. (Hmm, did I just coin that term? Because I was gonna call them eps, but they're not. They're webps. Maybe I should call them webppies. Nah. That's just not right...) Anyway by now you should know to find them at Skiffy. So if you haven't seen the ones for this week stop being a slacker! They're 2 minutes long!!!
We open this little installment in Duck's tent. Duck and the Misses are perfectly cozy. She's all "Aphrodite, grant me a child." And he's not too fond of praying to a little statue that can be found iat the local New Caprican Pottery Barn. In fact, he's not too fond of praying at Temple either. But he indulges her because, after all, they do have fun making the baby.
So then finally Duck confeses to wifey that Chief and Jammer tried to recruit him to the resistance. She knew all about it so I guess the whole thing is not a secret. So later, in the actual episodes, when we see the resistance getting wiped out and we see all the people collaborating, I guess it shouldn't be a surprise since everybody knows about it. But Duck tells Nora that he refused and they live happily ever after. Until the next 2 minutes of course.
Also, Tigh, Chief, and Jammer throw their weapons into the trunk in the Temple, cover it up with a table cloth and throw some candles on top. Now the trunk with the weapons looks totally incagneto. But Jammer's not happy about it. I love Jammer. Onto the next 2 minutes...
The next 2 minutes. Since Duck's wife is so super religious, she hangs out with Cally in the Temple. So now, it's time to discuss the Temple. I dig the Temple quite a lot. It's a tent with the incagneto trunk in the middle. Cally writes some sort of prayer on some paper (I think the paper had all 4 corners on it though!) and burns it in a dish. It's a great image to see the people we know so well for being all military protocol to be seen in this different light. But I must say, speaking of the light, it was a little distracting to see that the candles on the incagneto trunk were totally like the candles my mom had burning this morning. It took me out of it a little. I was like, "Hey! They got those at New Caprica's Pottery Barn!"
But I digress...So the important things that we learn in this installment are as following: Duck's wife calls Duck, Duck. That's kinda weird. I think the only person who gets away with constantly being called by his callsign is Helo. That's practically his first name (though I dig the sound of Karl Agathon). But calling your husband Duck is kinda weird. It's like if Hot Dog's wife was like, "Hot Dog, please open this can of rations for me!" That's just not right.
We also learn, and this is the most important thing...Celery is not worth your life!!!
So I suppose it's official. The first casualty of the season is Duck's wife. And so, it is my pleasure to welcome Duck to the resistance. Heh.
