A Pair of Teal Deers
I am alive! Okay, so I’ve been stuck on dial-up for the last two weeks, which sucks (mostly because I really wanted to stream Doctor Who episodes), got sick a week ago (am better now!), and spent way too much of the intervening time playing Oblivion, now that my brother actually has a computer that will run it
( Read more... )
I’ll admit that I came to the show because Baltar and Six were just so pretty (before he stopped shaving last season, at least), but it’s just… so much more awesome than that. The ethics, the metaphysics, the theology, the poli sci… even the character studies. Especially the character studies. Because Baltar is one of the most fascinatingly human characters I’ve ever come across. Kara as well, in other ways. Romo Lampkin's comments about studying the worst of humanity to understand what we're capable of... so fitting.
And see, my immediate thought is that the human were the ones bombing the Cylon planet (if it was a Cylon planet).
Not stupid at all. Just as you said… considering the cyclical nature of everything, and how the roles are constantly shifting back and forth (and like the huge Kara/Leoben shipper I am, I’ll point to her holding him prisoner, and then vice versa), I can definitely see the humans being on the offensive in the last go around. And it would also help to explain why the Cylons saw the need for a preemptive attack this time.
The way they focused on how human the people on the planet were when we saw the gang wandering around I what I keep coming back to.
THIS. This is what I loved about first 15 or so minutes of the show. Because you get such a clear picture of just how each character reacts to the situation. Sure, it continues, but the close-ups right then… eeee. <3
