Everything you said here about Kara and Chief I was thinking on Friday! And damn it but Sam does need to wake the frak up and explain shit to me because every week I feel like I missing some intricate connection. I loved that the song her Dad taught Kara was The SONG.... I loved it!
I know that with only like 3 episodes left the writers must be starting to tie things together and giving us more details but I was annoyed on Friday because even though I know the info must be starting to trickle into the episodes I can't put much together yet.
Maybe because it's been so long since I've seen the first 2 seasons or maybe it's because I've only seen all 4 seasons a couple times but I feel like I'm missing something but can figure it out.
And Dude, where was Lee the last few episodes. It's like he's never around much anymore. I realize it's an ensemble show and they gotta wrap up everyone's storylines but come give him something to do...
I know there are only three episodes left but then I think of the last two season finales and HOW MUCH insane amounts of awesome exposition, change/revelation and action were in those one or two episoes and I think it will be okay.
There has been kind of a weird flip-flopping between the really intense episodes that move the shows mythology along in huge jumps, and the slower more emotional character episodes. But like I said, I like BOTH the mythology and the characters of the show so that is cool by me :)

haha, that is so damn true!
BSG puts us all through the ringer so much that the most heartbreaking moments can be beautiful and uplifting!
On the one hand, I don't think Galen deserves this kind of betrayal AT ALL. The poor guy has been in love with this woman for forever and she dangles a gorgeous vision of love and domestic bliss in front of him. BUT. He was willing to just kill a random Eight and lie/sneak to get her off the ship, so he's not exactly 100% innocent either.
I'm really curious about ship-hybrids now after seeing the preview. Maybe we'll get more insight into why they were created and what they mean?
Crazy admission: Every time there's a "Kara-centric" episode like this, I feel like I might not like it, just because how many times can she have an existential/parental crisis without repeating herself? And then I watch it and Katee Sackhoff *totally sucks me in* all over again.
Boomer is a master manipulator.Am I the only one kind of pissed off about this? I still don't get what Roslin was talking about -- I don't remember Boomer ever before "preying on emotions" or manipulating anyone the way Athena did. (And I love Athena like crazy, and I fully support her getting stabby on the whole world for what happened to her in this ep, but SHE WAS THE SHARON WHO LIED AND MANIPULATED PEOPLE. Boomer was the puppet Sharon who never knew what she was doing and got frakked over by the universe, at least in the time Adama/Roslin knew her
( ... )
True, Kara is quite the Queen of Parental Issues, but they've all worked for me so far. The girl can ride her guilt for hours, and if it were any other actress besides Katee that would probably get old for me, but Katee is so damn amazing.

Dude, you're totally right! I have to admit to completely conflating the two because of the way Roslin phrased it. Maybe the writers were trying to say that that's what the Eight model does, manipulate feelings? But even then that wouldn't be relevant to the original Boomer because she was seriously fucked over in S1. Maybe they're arguing that her experiences with rejection by humans on New Caprica--and her subsequent falling in with Cavil which I still HATE--are now the guiding force in her motivation?
Your ranting is totally justified the more I think about it!
Dude. I just read an awesome theory that it wasn't Kara's Dad at all, but that it was Sam, projecting at her from his coma, and that it started when Cottle told her she had to move on with her life. :D
Interesting! But have the cylons projected anyone but themselves into a ... well ... projection?
I'm thinking now that head!characters are projections from models of the type being projected, i.e. a Six is projecting into Gauis. But then again that doesn't explain how Gauis projected into Six.
I've wondered before if Gauis and Kara are siblings. NO I do not want that to happen but they seem to have parallels through the whole story.
I enjoyed the Kara moments as always but the Boomer stuff just blew me away. And for once it wasn't a Kara ship that was getting all trashed on! Athena had to watch the whole thing! That is so frakked up, yo! Arrgh! So bad. I was laughing/screaming/yelling at the tv, half hiding my eyes through the whole thing. lmao
What happened with the cylons leaving Galactica anyway?
I'm still thinking Kara is actually the first hybrid as well with Daniel as her father. I love the idea that she ends up being the first hybrid. Which begs the question do hybrids download and if so, how? When I saw the pic that Hera "Whatever happened to Baby Jane" Agathon did, I immediately thought it was a star map. I didn't even make a connection to musical notes.
It's getting so good! I can't believe it's almost over. *sniff*
