BSG
*sigh* Under the cut, ladies and gentlemen.
Helo lost me. Am I bloodthirsty to say that what they were doing was semi-right? I do say semi because it was going to weigh on their minds, as it should. But their duty is to keep this fleet alive. The Cylons whipped out billions of humans, and I'm not going to repeat everything Roslin said. But it stands to go that I agree with her.
It was a terrible choice, and if New Caprica had worked out, they wouldn't be having this conversation. And that's probably where Roslin lost any respect she might have had for Helo, myself as well. He sees things as so simplistic, it's unrealistic. Even his wife, who is a Cylon, was willing to let it happen, even if she was understandably upset about it.
I wasn't as gung-ho as Lee about it, but they had a point. Helo, to an extent, was wrong, especially in his actions.
But now, will future human murders by the Cylons weigh on him? Because he didn't let the plan go through, will it be his fault for any more deaths?
I found it interesting that Lee called Sharon by her name, and corrected himself, on the basestar, but later referred to her as "Karl's wife". From last week, and from the first name use, they seemed to have been friends. I do use the past tense because I don't think they'll be getting along right now.
And boy was Lee jumpy on that basestar. When that Six model woke up I think he jumped back, like, 10 feet.
But really, I want to get back to the conversation between Helo and Roslin. He really didn't have the right to bring up New Caprica. Because one, as she pointed out, he never set foot on the planet. People were killed and taken prisoner. Tortured, physically and mentally. I don't think he understands Tigh and Kara and the others. As much as I didn't like them mouthing off last week, at least they had reasons for their feelings. Helo is letting Sharon cloud his judgement, even she's not trying, and that's going to bite him in the ass one day. The Cylons are searching for Earth, as are the humans. Is Helo to think that they're going to try and live peacefully with us? He's naive, and I'll wait to add stupid to that.
You know when you're starting to like a character (again) when you're waiting for her to show up on screen. Why yes, I'm talking about Starbuck.
I really don't have much else to say.
Also, I think I would benefit from NOT watching the previews for the next episodes because they just give me a headache.
