Previously on Battlestar Galactica: Shit got real. As in, not only was there tearful reunions with sloppy kisses from everyone's favorite pilots, but there was also crazy pistol shoving at one another's faces. While Papa Adama speechifies at the media and realizes that they are more annoying than the PAPArazzi. Not!Boomer sits in a jail cell because she's got the DNA that reads "enemy" and Lee and Kara make faces of hot sexytimes at one another.
The pilots talk about the things they leave unspoken until Lee lets it slip that he loves one Kara Thrace. Shipper hearts flail as Kara so kindly points out that there are no takebacks. On the planet Kobol, Not!Boomer shows that she can kick ass with a Megaman gun while Lee lays on the ground in admiration. She's not showing the love.
Not!Boomer is also not impressed by the fulfillment of prophecies resulting in blood shed. Look at her face. Does she look amused to you? Didn't think so. Lee does his best "good son" impression helping Madam President to her business.
Meanwhile, on Galactica, Papa Adama has decided that they are going to Kobol to get the rest of the family together. Sexypants Gaeta is shocked at the awesomeness of the news realizing that his homegirl Dee probably distracted Papa Adama with a model of like the Black Pearl or something to get him to do her bidding. Uncle Saul thinks it's nothing but a G-thang. And we do the shuffle to the episode that follows.
In the dark, Lee has trouble adjusting to the snuggle times of Not!Boomer and Helo. Which is troubling as Starbuck is RIGHT FRAKKIN' THERE. I mean, seriously Lee, attempt to handle that.
While Laura is kinda bored of not having her BFF Elosha to speak with any longer and can't contemplate who's gonna help her with the hot mess her hair has become on this humid planet, Lee does his best pondering face. Which doesn't last long when he realizes someone's coming. Starbuck does her best "I'M READY FOR ANYTHING" face and proves she does sleep with her sidearm under her pillow. And a million fanboys jizzed in their pants. ♥
Proving that everyone in this story is a badass, they all point at the ~bad guy. And realize that both parties are STARING AT ONE ANOTHER! *bites fist* It's about to get emotional up in here.
Father and son stare at each other unsure for like the longest five seconds known to man. AND THEN THEY HUG IT OUT!!! Of course, we can stop it there and call it a day since old man Adama was trying his son for mutiny before Lee escaped in the crazy episodes leading up to this, but no. THIS IS BSG. When it feels good, it does it right. Adama is all "thank you, Madam President, for keeping my boy safe". AND MADAM PRESIDENT GETS A PRESENT IN THE FORM OF BILL-EH!!!!! AND IT IS GREAT BECAUSE HE IS ADORABLE. And everyone is going like \o/ right about now. But then Starbuck approaches Adama like a lil kid in trouble and he's all "MAH DAUGHTER!!!" because he's more of an emotional mess than I am, and totally loves her like his own. Please note the Chief and Helo in the background looking like I love them (HELO ARMS,
nowgold. I KNOW YOU SEE THEM). Adama and Roslin chat it up about forgiveness and Adama is all "I forgive you" and Roslin is all "I've seen you look at me, so I know you're trying to get with dis" because she's suddenly one with the street cred. Adama mumbles some shit about everyday being a gift and that's why it's called the present and it sounds hella less corny and leads to fist pumping in the air if you're of the nerd variety. And then he decides to get on President's good side and look for a tomb.
Not!Boomer chats it up with her babydaddy Helo, and then is interrupted because she HAS TO GO GIVE CHIEF A HUG. BECAUSE SHE HAS BOOMER'S MEMORIES. AND BOOMER LOVES CHIEF. And both Chief and Helo are hella confused right now.
See, I told you Helo was all like "THE FRAK WOMAN?". And she's all "Do you trust me?", and they climb aboard her magic carpet in search of the tomb of Athena. Which really means they're walking. Because in space, there are no fuglies. So they must maintain their frakworthy figure. Note the pretty. Shit goes down (doesn't it always?), and Helo can stare at Not!Boomer with admiration and love and we're all like \o/.
And there's all this talking and like, nerdery, because they are about to go into the Tomb of Athena. And it's clearly magical, because Pythia said so. So there is smirking from Space!Mommy and from Starbuck, and Papa Adama is all like "Chief guard the door please, Me and the Mrs and the kids are gonna go exploring for like a moment". And there is door watching, and probably awkward moments between Chief/Not!(but with Boomer's memories)Boomer/Helo. But no one sees it but Zarek, and he doesn't count because he had the hair of a woman in the 70's.
And once inside the Tomb of Athena, Kara uses the Arrow of Apollo (not to be confused with Lee's peen), to activate this planetarium like thing that seeks to transport the core family of the saga of Galactica to their destination: Earth. And it's awe inspiring. Because what this entire series has been about - finding a new place to hang their hat. No, not a coat rack. Home. Their home. Unscathed by their wars, unaffected by their shortcomings, and unbiased to their past. And in that Tomb, I like to think they had a chance to reflect that while they were trying to get to this promise land, home, their real home would be found standing right next to one another. Because they were a family. :)
