BSG 3.20: Crossroads, Part 2

[icepixie]

- Heeeey, it's Claudia Black on The Dresden Files! I didn't even recognize her voice without the Aussie accent. But that smile is very distinctive.

- ARE ROSLIN AND ADAMA NOT THE CUTEST THING EVER?! AWWWWWW!!!

- So Anders is dealing with Kara's death by trying to have two girlfriends? Okay.

- Dude, they had all three of the remaining female characters in a room together. That should happen more often. That was far too brief.

- I knew Baltar was going to walk! Lee did make a good case on the stand, reminding everyone of the general pardon. But now that he's free, Baltar will undoubtedly find a way to screw humanity over one more time. That's who he is. If only everyone knew about the Harvey!Six in his head, and how she causes him to be traitorous, they might have a different outlook...

- Can we have an episode that consists entirely of scenes between EJO and MM? God, they're awesome together. Especially when they disagree.

- So Tigh, Chief, Anders and Tori are...especially adept at hearing radio signals from Earth? (BTW, thank goodness for closed captioning. If I hadn't had it on, I wouldn't have recognized that it was a non-original song.) I think if they really were Cylons, there'd be, you know, very little question of it in their minds.

- I liked having lots of scenes in CIC again for once. Felt like old times.

- Deus Ex Kara! I knew from the moment Lee saw a bogey on his dradis that it was going to be her. Didn't think she was going to show them to Earth. Kind of wish she didn't. Would have been much more satisfying if they'd spent an episode or two on interpreting the signs pointing to Earth and then finally, via their own intelligence, getting there, rather than having Starbuck show up all magical. Hmph.

- Well, from the placement of North America, it looks like they've hit Earth at some relatively modern point...

- Hrm. The trial ending was good, but everything else felt like yet more setup. Next season (OMG, in 2008) had better have some damn payoff. Trying to integrate the fleet into Earth society would be pretty good payoff. Hint, hint.

No kidding. I'm honestly a liiiitle bummed that he walked. Actually, I'm just more annoyed at how the whole motion to declare mistrial didn't end with the decision about a mistrial; it just ended with sentencing. WTF. I don't care what galaxy they're in, THAT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN. (Sorry. I'm a lawyer's kid.)

I'm not convinced they're cylons myself. It would be cool of Cheif and Anders were, I suppose. But Tigh? Well, that's irony, but it's almost too blatant, really. And Tori, I definitely didn't suspect that, so I suppose it makes for a good twist, but I'm just not convinced.

Agreed on all counts. However, I'm sure (or at least, I hope) they'll find a way to nonetheless make it interesting. There HAS to be a way.

And really, 2008??? What's with this 2008 business??? That's nearly 8 1/2 months away!

That's who he is. If only everyone knew about the Harvey!Six in his head, and how she causes him to be traitorous, they might have a different outlook...

See I'm not so sure especially after Caprica having a Harvey!Balter that it's anything more then Balter's insanity. Maybe it's how he deals with what he did back on Caprica. To let himself believe that he has this greater part in destiny.

It think we all new the minute Lee went out the Viper Kara would show up.

Didn't think she was going to show them to Earth.

Really didn't see the earth thing coming. Of all the things I thought she would say. I found Earth was the last thing on my mind.

Well, from the placement of North America, it looks like they've hit Earth at some relatively modern point...

Which makes things very very intresting for both humans and cylons alike. Almost Kansas like you could say.

Next season (OMG, in 2008) had better have some damn payoff. Trying to integrate the fleet into Earth society would be pretty good payoff. Hint, hint.

Trying being the word, cause I would just rather have BSG stay in space. I think they will learn that earth isn't the home they thought it was.
