I think that was the point, although the fucked-up-ness on the planet was definitely needed to give the whole thing continuity. It was about how much impact the discovery of nuked!Earth had on everyone, even on steady, sweet, reliable Dee.
Something tells me she won't stay dead for long, though.
I think she's pretty dead. But who am I to speculate? These guys are tricksy. *g*
The whole Adama/Tigh suicide scene was also confuzzling. I guess they wanted to show people crushed by the dissolution of the dream of Earth without knowing how to do it subtly? Er. Yeah, that scene didn't do much for me.
I actually liked that scene, but I wouldn't have liked it as much if Tigh hadn't refused the drink Adama offered. That to me shows real character development. Not that Tigh will never drink again--he's an alcoholic, it ain't that easy--but still. I thought it was kind of powerful, and that part was pretty subtle, because it wasn't dwelt on at all.
Kara's two bodies are also interesting!
I know! Talk about going on a journey to find yourself. *g*
I wonder, if she is a Cylon, would she have been able to reincarnate once she died on Earth?
I don't think she's a Cylon, but I'm curious as to what the hell she IS.
I'm also not totally sure it's not Tigh just seeing things, because as I recall he's done that before, yes?
That's what I thought at first, but according to TPTB, Ellen's the fifth. Apparently they decided that between seasons 3 and 4.
Maybe EVERYONE'S a Cylon!
sdwolfpup has the same theory here (http://sdwolfpup.livejournal.com/483934.html?nc=6). I really like it.
I'm curious what Leoben knows that he isn't telling, because it has to be something.
Leoben always knows something that he isn't telling. This time it looks like he was wrong about a lot of things and it's freaking him out (and I think the way it was done was great because it shows that the humans aren't the only ones having meltdowns over everything). But I think you're right, he knows a lot more stuff. Screw the Caprica prequel; the new series should be Leoben Explains it All.
