We love "Battlestar Galactica." But sometimes, love hurts. And that's what happened Friday. Our fears of an unsatisactory end, they are growing. Here's some of our thoughts about the latest, non-greatest episode.
Raoul: Yeah...
So...
Shouldn't there be some action in a show?
I also think it would be nice if we felt like we were moving toward resolution of some major storylines.
Raoul: I'm not a professional script writer, but I think it's about time to have, you know, stuff happen.
I mean, there are only 90 frakking minutes of this show left.
Raoul: At some point we have to stop with the atmosphere and get to some meat and potatoes.
I'm afraid the show is going to end with a whimper, not a bang.
Like, maybe a lesser member of Baltar's cult somehow vents everybody on Galactica into space?
Raoul: Well, let's try to judge the show on what it is.
There were lots of little pieces but in terms of an overall show....
I don't even know if those pieces satisfy. We're given the possible explanation that Starbuck is an angel.
Kate: I think Baltar was being sneaky there.
Raoul: He's sneaky everywhere.
Kate: He tested her DNA, but why didn't he carbon date her dogtags...how long has she been dead?
Also, assuming he's not lying.
Because Gaius Baltar never lies.
Raoul: I assume they think that he thought she could only have been dead as of when she was spotted going into the maelstrom thingy by Lee.
Now if Baltar had watched sci fi, he'd know all about temporal rifts and things.
Kate: I realize that the funeral scene was supposed to be a parallel to the pilot, but it left me cold.
Raoul: I'll give it some props for showing that the ship isn't united the way it was back then.
Kate: Whatever, that's Adama's fault. He needs to stop listening to so much Morrissey.
Raoul: I'd be a little emo too if a) my woman was dying b) my ship was dying c) Earth is dead d) a good portion of my troops joined a mutiny e) I have to depend on a Cylon faction to have any chance of survival f) somewhere out there there's a bunch more Cylons looking to wipe us out.
Kate:But your girlfriend is the President of the Colonies! And so is your son! Ride that thing, Kato!
Raoul: Doesn't make it better.
Although I'm curious how he plans to have Galactica go out in style
Kate: Use it as a decoy to get Hera back.
Raoul: I think I'd worry about any plan that's inspired by primo Caprica weed. That stuff's killer, man.
Kate: That scene was pretty funny. I forgot about it.
Raoul: See...if you could forget that there's only a few episodes left, it wasn't that bad an episode. Lots of little bits.
Ohmigod, why can't Starbuck punch somebody in the face?
Or shoot somebody?
Raoul: But damn, they need to start building the action now
Kate: I would have so, so preferred an episode or two dedicated to the aftermath of the mutiny in place of either of the last two episodes.
Hell, I would have preferred to see Tyrol getting drunk and hallucinating a girlfight between Boomer and Cally.
Raoul: That's the trouble. I think they could probably dedicate a whole bunch more episodes more exciting than what we're getting.
Kate: Also, why the frak couldn't Adama give Helo a viper, or better yet The Demetrius.
Raoul: because that would be too easy.
What do you think is going on with Lee's hair?
It's like a comb-over everywhere but where a bald spot is.
Raoul: Hadn't noticed it.
Kate: It's like mad scientist hair...but not. It's so strange.
Did anything really happen in this episode?
I mean, sure there was the potential re-humanization of Boomer via Hera. Potential.
But I'll be bummed with a "Boomer sacrifices herself for Hera and lo, all humanity" ending.
Raoul: I think that if you completely missed this episode, you probably would have been fine.
You probably would have spent that 44 minutes of your life doing something more awesome, that's for sure.
Raoul: Not that it was bad, but man...was so much forgettable.
Kate: I think it was bad.
I actually had the thought, about halfway in, that if this wasn't one of The Last Episodes I would just walk away.
(And I could have.)
Oh, but bright side!
No creepy sex!
Raoul: At least until next week.
Kate: Maybe they won't make us watch any more creepy sex ever. A girl can hope.
Raoul: You keep that dream alive. I'll dream of the big-ass space battle that we need to have.
Kate: No kidding. I think that has to happen, right?
