Sumi, I think the bullshit consensus in B'cracy was no white-fonting once it's aired in the east coast.

Yeah, I like that theory that Boomer shot Adama in a less fatal place because she was fighting the Cylon condition. Loved the look in her eyes at the end. Poor G!Boomer. I hadn't really cared for her very much since the mini, but she really won me over in the last two episodes.

Lee's action in Colonial One was v. reminiscent of what he did in "Bastille Day". Interesting that Roslin maintained a hard line until Lee got involved, then folded. Why? She's a determined woman and a hella shrewd politician, religious fanaticism or not, so I don't buy that she did it out of tender concerns about messing up the father/son Adama relationship. Hmm.

How much did I love the two such vital missions were carried out by women without anybody making a big deal out of it? THIIIIIIS MUUUUCH. Also, the spooky miracle child in the crib (well, maybe she's not there yet as I think the whole temple scene was a vision of future to come) was a girl! For once! Neat.

Becase theirloveissopure! No. I have no idea. I do remember thinking, "Huh." But then, honestly, I got distracted by the arms pretty much right after that, which is probably shallow but is also true.

Oh, so much.

And, oh lordy, I am so happy to have the Caprica storyline intersect in person with the ragtag fleet stroyline at last.

Becase theirloveissopure!

Heh. I have to admit my brain went there immediately, because my dormant Lee/Roslin 'shippy tendency was near death by starvation and wanted to leap at what little it was given.

(But then, honestly, I got distracted by the arms pretty much right after that, which is probably shallow but is also true.)

Arms!

And oh so nice to see Starbuck hug Helo. And the fight with Six! Wow!

Speaking of the music, does anybody know if the dame omposer worked on Firefly? Because this sounds like the direction they were going in. That composer did some good work, and it would be nice if he's still working.

I admit that I was manipulated in exactly the way they were likely shooting for (ugh. I said shooting for, didn't I?) with Lee and his attempt to thwart what was, essentially, a military coup.

I thought it very ironic that Tigh would accuse Lee of mutiny while he himself was carrying out a coup.

It doesn't look like I'll get a chance to watch BSG until Monday. I couldn't resist reading the reactions. Can't wait.

(also so tired I hit the OK button for jump to date instead of Post, ugh)

Hmmm, the miraculous birth of the scary little girl?

Not seeing any connection of Greg Edmonson's name with BSG, but his IMDB profile (for what that's worth) lists his further work. I find Richard Gibbs for the BSG mini and some of the S1 eps (it may be all of them, I don't know).

Also, the BSG mini has a CD soundtrack available according to Amazon. I did not know (or at least remember) this. I think I may get it. I hope they keep up the trend, because I really want the stuff from the final two eps especially. Also the opening theme from the UK airings.

I'm still hoping for the Firefly TV series music to come out on CD. Is this a pipe dream, do we think?

This is part of what I'm enjoying - people staking claims (for leadership, moral rectitude, power to decide future action) on grounds of shifting sand. Or quicksand. Whatever - insert your visual of choice. Shaky ground. They're all on shaky ground while trying to continue with an old model of how things are done that seems pretty fragile in practice, and it's freaking them out. (Not all that different from real life some days. Ick. I just depressed myself.)

oh so nice to see Starbuck hug Helo

Yes! I loved this, and it was weird, because neither character up to that point had grabbed me. Put them together, though, and they sparked -- not shippily, just two friends who can finally let out their breath in each other's company. It was a great scene.

I share this tendency, too, and I hope they feed it more in S2.

Ahem. dl is not my friend. I bottle too much up, apparently, and then it explodes all over the posting box.

So I snaked Daniel Jackson. Can't say he didn't deserve it. [link]
