orangerfulSo....we just finished the finale of Season 3 of 'Battlestar Galactica'
Oh. My. Gods.
First of all, THANK YOU to the flist for not spoiling that moment for me at all. I was blown away. I had this feeling that something weird was going on. I had this moment of "Oh wouldn't it suck if they were Cylons". And then when they were all going to the room, I was like "Ho-ly Frak!"
So, I assume it was something in the nebula that set them off, something perhaps *left* by the 13th Tribe on their way to Earth? (Also, does this mean that Bob Dylan is, in fact, the final Cylon?) Perhaps these Cylons are meant to protect the humans, in case of an event like this? And they are being activated now to help save the human race and get them to the 13th tribe?
Starbuck is ALIVE!!!!!! Huzzah!!!! And grinning like an idiot! Smiling!Starbuck that is not also Drunk!Starbuck is so rare. I hope she rejoins the crew and is a new, somewhat happier Starbuck. She's clearly all zen now. Though (as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jimithingy just said to me) she better still have spunk.
Poor poor Sam. You know, I started out pretty wary of him. Didn't really get him. But when Starbuck "died" and he was in that hanger, flipping the coin...ugh, poor poor guy. And now this!
So, in the visions - I think that Gaius only existed for Caprica Six. Otherwise Laura and Shannon would have dragged his sorry ass in for questioning too. Plus, wouldn't he have been experiencing the visions? Or are we to assume that the camalla extract (BSG's metaphor for medical marijuana?) is what allowed Laura to share these visions with the two Cylons - that it put her on another plane. Because the Cylons are connected to the humans in some way...
Oh yeah, the trial. haha. That was some courtroom drama. Well played. Totally unrealistic, but just like Dualla said to Lee - it's time to take it apart and put it back together so we can fix it. And I think that was what Lee was trying to say (apart from turning all his subtext into text).
I gotta agree withdemonqueen666 - Gaeta? What were you thinking? Why? WHY DID YOU LIE LIKE THAT! I mean, I guess only you and Baltar know for sure (and your hair stylist?) but now that Baltar wants to publish a book, will he expose you? Will he tell everyone what really went down that day? Will anyone care?
The scene with Laura and Adama that started the whole episodes was hilarious. Who hasn't had a day like that?
Also - Laura can be very scary sometimes. When she puts on her "angry eyes"...yikes!
So, now that I've seen this episode...I sorta understand why Season 4 will be the last season. I think it's a wise decision. The show is awesome. The writing is strong. But how long can they keep it up? Why not have an awesome last season, knowing from the *start* that this will be your last season, and wow everyone with your awesomeness. I hope that is what Ronald D. Moore and the crew are thinking. Because they could make one amazing year of television, go out with a bang, and guarantee BSG a place in the TV hall-of-fame of shows that managed to not suck. *glares at X Files*
So....the special is in November? How many months/days/hours/minutes/seconds until that airs?

Date: 2007-06-13 05:49 pm (UTC)I KNOW, RIGHT? It only occured to me just how REALLY TRULY bad that was, even, after the TWoP had his take on it: that was quite possibly the one and only times Gaius Freakin' Baltar ever stood up for something, and Felix TOOK THAT AWAY FROM HIM. OH MY GODS, YOU TWO.
(Random PS: I less than three my icon ^_^)

Though, now that Gaius is free, I'm hoping they can fit in our Drunk!Gaius episode now. ;-)

Date: 2007-06-14 05:50 pm (UTC)Fingers crossed, though you have to admit the dark direction the show has gone for the past season and a half makes that kind of unlikely. Though maybe they'll feel the need to lighten the mood for an episode of two?

SERIOUSLY. Gawd, they are so made of UST. I mean, uh...what? *innocent face*
