Episode Review - Battlestar Galactica - Passage

[yharel]

Let me start off saying that there wasn’t nearly enough SQUEE in the episode. And yet, it still serves the Squee. We’ll get there. The premise for last night’s episode - the food shortage? That’s dumb. It was a good strong episode for characters, but with one exception (which, of course, I’ll get to), it was dumb and did not lead the plot anywhere

Except for Gaeta. Dude could have fried him with that glare. What crawled up his ass?

I think he's still pissed off at Tigh for, you know, trying to murder him.

I know but it's been a couple of weeks, get off your high horse.

[ingridmatthews]

First off, there's no need to be rude to me and frankly, if someone tried to murder me in a kangaroo court, it would take more than a "couple of weeks" to get over it.

By these standards there's an extremely short expiration date on all character angst and if long-term continuity is something a viewer values in the show, then Gaeta being still being pissed off is proper and perfectly within his fictional "rights."

I'm pretty sure this particular thread has not ended yet and I'm glad for it.

I meant "plot thread" not LJ thread.

Probably the fact that Tigh wasn't in jail for trying to murder him for nothing. :)

I dunno that Gaeta should be falling on his knees to give Tigh a blow job from sheer joy over Tigh's return. Not after Tigh basically ordered his murder, slurred his manhood during his near murder, and then had the gall to not apologoze when proof is provided that Tigh's sorry ass is alive because of Gaeta.

Yeah I know, I wasn't ignoring that fact. I'm just thinking that it's about time he moved on like he did with the others, and the others with him.

It's kind of like asking him to move on from being raped by having sex with his rapist. I mean... not to be shippy and arguementative, but under this logic, Kara should be well over her horrific childabuse and therefore not allowed to cite that as a valid reason for her to be a complete cunt to all around her.

Oh hell don't get me wrong, I think he has every right to be pissed, I just don't see how glaring at Tigh in CIC is going to help his cause, especially if he's going to have to work with him every day.

grooviness. thanks for all that film class insight. ;)

[yharel]

And I get to watch every episode at least twice!

Except for Unfinished Business. I watched that about 12,000 times. If not more.
