When the Rapture comes, this viper will be unmanned...

Yay! Netflix *finally* received my three DVDs. Funny they all showed up on the same day considering I mailed two on Tuesday and one on Thursday...

ETA: Oh, and I'm not liking this Sunday at 10 p.m. thing very much.



I made the mistake of wandering off a couple of times during the commercials and so I missed a couple of things like Dee finding Starbuck (I guess Dee hit her?) and how the Al!cylon got on the planet.

There was a brief glimpse of one of the final five's faces, but it was all glowy. Anyone tried to photoshop that yet to try and figure it out? Actually, when I first saw the face, I was thinking that it looked a bit like Kara. And then when they did the painting thing at the end... EEK.

Why didn't Dee kick Lee in the balls? Why? Here she goes on a solo rescue mission and Lee's standing there staring at Kara. Kick him hard, Dee! You deserve WAY better. (I know I've noticed this before, but she got a lot of closeups in this ep - Kandyse McClure has the most beautiful eyes.)

Did *not* see the Sharon death coming - didn't figure out that's what they were talking about. Even after, it took a few seconds to realize what just happened. Even though he knew she was on the other ship then, how horrible for Helo. (Side note - Helo reminds me *so* much of one of my cousins it's scary. They look a *lot* alike and their mannerisms are very similar. Always slightly weirds me out.) But I was actually yay-ing at my TV when Helo yelled at Roslin. She very much deserved that.

The cylons are starting to show massive cracks. They can't seem to agree on what they're doing, which fits since I've never been able to figure out what they're exactly doing other than following "God's will." They're a collective when they need a leader. I still think they may end up following the old series by having Baltar wind up leading them. Maybe some bad things will happen to Baltar while he's on Galactica, and that's where he learns to hate humanity/the fleet? And so will happily lead the cylons? Just a guess.

And finally, the toaster!cylons continue to freak me out. I'm thinking it's PTSD from back when I played a few FPS. (Probably nothing funnier than watching me play a FPS. Brother: You can't always run away and hide in holes! Me: 'Can't' is a funny word... *shoots at movement outside hole* Brother: That was *ME*. Me: Mwahahahaha.)

I'm responding without looking at what you say about Rapture. I jsut got it and won't see it till this evening. **damn not having cable anymore**

Sounds like you can have the same problems with NetFlix as I have with the library. things tend to not show up on the system properly.

This is the first time it's happened, so hopefully it was just a fluke as opposed to this being standard.

Honestly, I don't think it's Netflix's fault as much as it is the Post Office's. But then I don't have a high opinion of the USPS.

Dee hit Starbuck because Starbuck was zoning out (on morphine due to all the pain), and Dee needed her to help fix/fly the ship. Not that I don't think that Dee really enjoyed hitting Starbuck, of course. :-)

Honestly? I don't think whoever was standing in for the final five is actually who it'll end up being, so photoshopping won't help. I'm sure it was just some random crew under hoods and bright lights.

I didn't see Sharon's death coming, either. I mean, I knew it would be bad, from the way they were talking, but I was assuming some sort of betrayal. Instead, we got that. Wow.

Could be. *eyes*

HA!! If I'd been thinking, I should have taped the repeat.

Oh, so this "vision" could be total bullshit? Yeah, I guess that could happen. I'm still interested to see if anyone's tried to process that screen grab.

I'm glad it's not just me. I think I've asked my husband about 600 times why the cylons don't just go and do there own thing.

They never really explain how Cavill got to the planet. He was just...there. And dressed as an archaeologist. Which I found highly amusing.

For my part, I made all sorts of strangled noises when Sharon died because I was so. very. surprised/shocked/impressed and then it just got more awesome on the Cylon ship.

ZOMG KARA?! *freaks*

I totally forgot about the Sunday at 10 pm thing and went to bed.

*sigh*

Sharon and Helo broke my heart. You've always been the strong one...you believed in us when no one else did...be strong for us now...I am begging you to do this...I love you. And how he held her after he shot her. Gah. And thank you my beautiful Helo for standing up to Roslin. SHE caused this. And Caprica was there to welcome her home. Sharon was so happy to see Hera. I felt for poor Boomer too. She seems lost. And now Sharon, Caprica and Gauis are back on Gallatica.

Hey!

I'm glad it's not just me. I think I've asked my husband about 600 times why the cylons don't just go and do there own thing.

Yeah, it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense so far.

Weird...

For my part, I made all sorts of strangled noises when Sharon died because I was so. very. surprised/shocked/impressed and then it just got more awesome on the Cylon ship.

Yeah, totally. I love how this show manages to pull of *actual* twists instead of just contrived ones.

I don't know!! *freaks*

Awww. *pats* They'll probably repeat it sometime this week. Maybe?

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2007-01-22 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Helo - wow. That was pretty stunning. Really turned into the biggest moment of the episode.

And the contrast with Boomer was also insteresting. You're right - she seems lost or something. Or just really really angry and I'm not quite sure why. Maybe because Sharon was able to stay with Helo and Boomer wasn't able to stay with the Chief?

[identity profile] kammgirl.livejournal.com 2007-01-22 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Could be. And last season she and Caprica had this grand plan to redeem what happened when the cylons annihilated humanity. Boomer still loved Gallatica and wanted the two races to be at peace. Well that certainly went to hell in a hand basket.

Boomer just seems...broken. Which is odd and interesting -- after she started making the grand plans with Caprica, I was all "Okay, so now that she's got all the puzzle pieces in place and knows who she is, and what a great contrast with that lost, frakked-up kid who made the botched suicide attempt." And now it's like, "Hmmm, maybe not that simple. Maybe she's still missing some pieces after all."

Kind of ironic in light of the encounter between Boomer and Athena, where Boomer was all "Yeah, if you want to believe that..." about Athena saying she'd made her choice. And now it's looking like she's the one not doing so well at making her peace with where she's decided to be.

[identity profile] kammgirl.livejournal.com 2007-01-22 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes I agree. I think Boomer doesn't feel at home anywhere.

It's on again at 11 pm (est) tonight.

At this point, I'm not sure I care

She had so much invested in the dream of peaceful coexistence, of being able to have both families and feel whole. And now that's further out of reach than ever, poor kid. :-/

We are Central so get it at 9pm. But 10 would be just too late. Havn't seen all of it yet so keeping my eyes from looking at the cut. Had to study. :(

9 is WAY nicer. I'm tempted to tape it and watch when I'm getting ready in the morning.

I just assumed Cavvy came down with Baltar and D.

Really? Huh. That could be.

[identity profile] samkicksass.livejournal.com 2007-01-23 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
I just watched the rest and was able to pay attention. Last night I was trying to read and watch and that was too much. I actually like watching the tape so I can FF through comercials.

Dee hit Starbuck because Starbuck was zoning out (on morphine due to all the pain),

I like to think it also was because Starbuck was going through a "woe is me; I have to hurt all the guys who like me" moment and Dee didn't want to listen to it. Heh.
