No weekly Ashes to Ashes review, if you're wondering, because I want to wait until next week's episode before writing it, for plot-related reasons. Also, business strikes again, so should I owe you a reply, forgive the delay.

The multiverse5000 stories have started, and I was delighted to discover today's was encounter between Tosh (from Torchwood) and

I was, actually...

I completely understand -- my eyes were glued to my computer screen on Monday night, just riveted.

That I can understand. The plot suddenly went into overdrive.

You are most definitely forgiven. Don't rush to reply to me because we're off on holiday soon and then I would feel immensely guilty about not having time to reply to you *g*.

You were guessing that Chris would die: did this week's episode change that or do you think there's worse to happen?

[selenak]

My thoughts, in the order they occured:

1.) Okay, this is the Chris catastrophe I felt was coming, so that means he won't die. Phew.
2.) Oh no. They're going to make him atone by a heroic sacrifical death, are they?
3.) No, they won't, not after giving Gene the "you get to live" speech.
4.) On the other hand, Gene was even more hubristic than usual in that speech with the "I am your judge, jury and executioner" conclusion, so...

In short, I have no idea.

I'm inclined to think that he will die heroically. I have all sorts of thoughts about Chris which I won't bore you with, but basically I think that both Gene and the show let him off easy, and allowing him to redeem himself by dying would be the logical extension of that approach.

I have many thoughts as well, partly influenced through lingering Adama issues about the "my people/ I am the law" approach, but it really depends on the follow-up for me. Hence no review until next week.
