TV!

[redbrickrose]

Hi! I just got back from a night of drunken karaoke and so I feel like this is as good a time as any to talk about the television that I have spent my weekend so far catching up on. I'm not going to do homework tomorrow either because I am going to that inauguration concert thing. My excuse is that this weekend I am WITNESSING HISTORY and after

Ellen works for me as the last cylon mostly because I insisted to my roommates long ago that it was her and they didn't believe me and i was right. i like being right. But I don't know what that means for Kara.

I am with you in worry about them tying it all up well. I think it's pretty clear that they are going to leave some threads open (there is already a movie deal) but I really hope it's not too many thread.

I thought it was kind of amazing that the 13th tribe were cylons, though I think it's possible that cylons ended up on that planet some other way and the 13th tribe came and genocided them the way the cylons genocided humans.

re: Dee, I never considered Steph's idea that Dee might have realized she's a cylon, that's really interesting. I assumed it was because she was so happy that night and she knew that awful things were coming and she'd lost hope after earth so she wanted to end on an up note. I also think Steph's idea that everyone is a cylon is really interesting though i'm not sure the producers can work that appropriately in half a season's worth of episodes.

I agree with your thoughts about Dee. Out of all of that, she's always had this almost naive hope and optimism. Seeing those jacks, a symbol of her own lost childhood innocence I think made her decide that she just didn't want to continue anymore. She had nothing left but despair.

The idea of everyone being a cylon would be difficult for them to pull together in the time they've got left - though as I said, I'm worried about them pulling it together anyway. If Ellen really is the last cylon, I think it works for the story overall, I just don't like what it does to Saul's story, but I'm willing to reserve judgment.

I'm reserving judgment on most of it at this point (though WHAT IS UP WITH KARA I WANT TO KNOW). I'm willing to go along for the ride, but I really want the to pull it off and I am nervous about it.
