BSG 4.5 DVDs: Deleted Scenes!

[beccatoria]

Okay y'all. I got my 4.5 DVD box set today! Cus it came out today in the UK.

As usual it looks like the UK set is missing at least one awesome thing - and no I'm not talking about the webisodes, which, yes, it is also missing.

There's no extended cut of Islanded in a Stream of Stars. Which is weird because I was sure I saw a website's

Thanks so much for these recaps. I was torn between wanting to read and wanting to wait, but I read some and skimmed some and it was fun -- and it will still be fun when we get the goods here in the States.
Thanks, much, Becca, as always!

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed skimming it and I hope you enjoy the extras when they're released where you are! :D

Awesome recap - thank you! I really want to see that Baltar/Roslin scene RFN, you know? :P And I'm all torn over "yay, more Helo for meeeeeeeeeeee" and "oh, thank god they never put that crap in the episodes" because I just couldn't have taken all the renewed Helo hate.

[beccatoria]

You're welcome! :D

Also your icon is hilarious.

To be honest, the scenes didn't make me hate Helo at all, they just made me want to write endless reams of fic about him becoming the first Vicar of Baltarism and blissful home life with his lovely wife and daughters, Six and Hera. o_O

Seeing him be all welcoming to random-Six-who-might-really-be-Caprica-I'm-not-sure only gives me EXTRA, EXTRA LOVE for Helo. But that's me.

[beccatoria]

Dude, wait it probably is Caprica. O_O

Like, I didn't think it was because a) it doesn't look like her - I know that's ridiculous but...it doesn't it looks like a random Six and b) I'm not entirely sure what I make of it being Caprica in the context of this scene.

Mainly because there are all sorts of incredible overtones to this, not least the idea that Caprica has lost neither her religion nor sorrowful love of Baltar. And it seems somehow right that it's Caprica Athena is able to stand up in defence of.

That said, I have no idea why, particularly, she's there. If it's her own fear and disappointment - probably - or...well anything. I do wonder if this is partially a negative reaction to her later characterisation, but I think even if this hadn't been the case, Six in this scene is very much an object. We get one later shot of her watching Baltar intensely, which is lovely, but...in general, it's not from her perspective. And so again, I'm at sea as to her internal dialogue and either through context or through it

Hi! *waves... coughs* School is going to murder me.

However, I felt like squeeing here really quickly! The Laura scenes in particular (I hope you get the missing things soon). :D

Actually, I was curious about what you thought of the deleted scene with Caprica getting those tea/herbs for her nausea (because I know of your fangirliness lol). My first thought upon seeing it was - was that the thing that killed Flipper? (;_;) Perhaps, it's because I am a highly suspicious person.

[beccatoria]

Honestly that thought had never occured to me! I was mostly thinking, oh, so that's why she's in Dogsville since I thought her having to go down there to get food was pretty weird since she's the like, fake wife of the XO. Surely she wouldn't be getting rations from Dogsville.

Hoenstly, I think it's just cus you have a suspicious mind, or it'd be in the actual episode, but ARGH CYLON HATING DOGSVILLIANS! :p
