The Captain's Blog entry for this episode is interesting.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Oh, they so totally planned to get caught at some point.
It's only "getting caught" if you don't want anyone to walk in on you.
And while I agree that Rhys keeps Gwen grounded in a real world, he needs to realize that she isn't working a 9-5 job. And that she can't know in advance when 5 will be 7, or 11, or next Wednesday. Though she should have called him so he could make other plans.

but her job may prevent her from doing that. Better way to deal with it would be for her to call to confirm plans. If she doesn't call, then it's off and he can make other plans.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Re. BSG: Bear McCreary is still doing the music on the show, right? I've noticed at least two distinct pieces of music that sounded new to me -- the disconcerting (and vaguely Middle-Eastern-sounding, which is an interesting choice) dark string theme played when Tigh was hallucinating his assassination of Adama, and the tinkly theme played when Baltar first sees his Camp of Acolytes. One episode in, I'm already chomping on my bits to get the soundtrack.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
(and vaguely Middle-Eastern-sounding, which is an interesting choice)
Well, the version of "All Along the Watchtower" he used was vaguely Middle Eastern-sounding as well. Did you catch that he incorporated snatches of it into the score during the scene with the four of them discussing the Raider's retreat?

Sitar - he's using more sitar.

You can buy a dinner date with CKR - part of a Canadian charity fund drive.
And Bear McCreary blogs about the music in 4.1.

Did he? I didn't catch that. Neat! Must rewatch for that bit when I get home. I like the way Bear incorporates all kinds of different influences into his score. Although my favourite is still the Passacaglia used in the teaser of "Kobol's Last Gleaming, part I" (and the variation on that during the opera house scene in part 2.)
Because I was in the middle of "OMG I'm never taking you seriously again!" flounce-off after the last season finale, I never bothered learning which version of "All Along the Watchtower" he used. Was is specifically recorded for the episode, or did he use a pre-existing version?

He recorded it for the show. (His brother is on vocals.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm all kinds of amused that while Vonnie's saying all kinds of smrt about Passacaglie and suchlike, I'm looking at this
Sitar - he's using more sitar.
and thinking "hehhehheh, that's just like more cowbell. But with culture."
