I KEPT WAITING FOR THE OTHER SHOE TO DROP RE: ~MEGA ANTHROPOLOGICALLY NOT PLAUSIBLE SCENARIO~ TO DROP
GUESS WHAT
I'M STILL WAITING
I CAN'T EVEN ENJOY THE FACT THAT A) CAPRICA AND BALTAR REALIZING THEY ACTUALLY LOVE EACH OTHER, FOREVER AND EVER AMEN B) SCENES WITH HEAD!BALTAR AND HEAD!SIX WITH REAL BALTAR AND REAL SIX AND EVERYONE SEES EVERYONE, BECAUSE THE LAST 30 MINUTES RUINED AN HOUR AND 30 MINUTES OF REALLY FUCKING AWESOME TELEVISION.
they didn't even explain daniel! there was NO ANSWER TO WHAT KARA WAS!
AND HELO DIDN'T EVEN DIE. WTF?!
ALMOST A WHOLE HOUR OF "HAPPY ON ACTUAL EARTH" AND NO DEATH AND DESTRUCTION ANYMORE BECAUSE CAVIL WENT "FRAK" AND SHOT HIMSELF IN THE HEAD?!?
(i am glad tory is dead.)
BUT. BUT. it's not right! it was supposed to be horrible and bleak and sad and NOT MATHEMATICALLY POSSIBLE FOR US NOT TO FUCK THINGS UP. i wanted everyone to die! or, at least, some people! like, what the hell? everything got sunny all of a sudden?
(but i did love baltar and six together. a lot. i love that he still doesn't know her name.)
THOUGH WHAT WAS THAT REFERENCE TO GOD THERE AT THE END? AND. AND.
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. it wasn't supposed to end HAPPY. maybe ambiguous. but not HAPPY LET'S ALL PAIR OFF IN COUPLEDOM.
(*responds today because last night I was fit only for capslock and drunky*)
NO SERIOUSLY: WHERE WAS MY BLEAK? I WANT IT.
IT'S AMAZING HOW ONE SCENE CAN COMPLETELY CHANGE HOW I FEEL ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE BEFORE IT. If it had just ended with Adama sitting on the cliff, alone, I would have been mega disappointed, but in my own way I could have interpreted the happy ending as not so much of one. That last set of flashbacks - Ellen/Tigh, Lee/Kara, Laura kicking her student out of bed (GO LAURA, LOL, BTW) - were all tinged with... I don't know. THINGS WERE STILL A LITTLE MESSED UP. Ellen & Tigh were together, but clearly there were fundamentals in their marriage still unresolved. We see Lee who is genuinely in love with Kara, and in the end, he can't have her, forever and ever. There's Kara, who was probably in lust with Lee, and maybe is in love with him if she tried, but she doesn't want to try. AND LAURA. IN THE END, SHE HAS ONLY HER POLITICAL CAREER. ALSO SHE IS DEAD (EPIC SAD) So: not so happy

I REFER YOU TO EDIT #2 OF THIS POST. It can't help the Pilot situation, but it might, um, soften the blow? I don't know? I HATE BEING DISAPPOINTED. It's what everyone always is in this show, and now I'm like "SHIT! I WAS JUST BLIND."
SO BASICALLY I'VE RUN INTO THE OPEN EMBRACE OF BONES. After Doctor Who last summer, and now this... that can't possibly disappoint me, too, right? RIGHT?

( I KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. I SAW THE SIGNS, AND FAILED TO ACT. In a way, I did it to myself.)
