bsg finale, g'night

[jaina]

Do Lee and Dad remind anyone else of Sydney and Jack? "You were a bad father and emotionally distant and I hate you! Oh no wait, you're awesome, I love you. No, changed my mind, hate you again! Oh, sorry, my bad, I actually love you. *hug* ONOEZ you have betrayed me, I hate you!" I mean really, guys, it starts to lose meaning after awhile, you know? At least Lee doesn't cry at the end of every episode. Yet.

Meh. I am distinctly underwhelmed. Of course Baltar was going to be found not guilty. Of course Kara was going to come back. I was unspoiled, but none of these were surprises. It's television, after all. And, er, the almost-final four? I'm not convinced. If Tigh wasn't among them, I'd be slightly more convinced, but-- no.

Also, what the hell is up with having them *actually speak* the lyrics to a freaking Jimi Hendrix song? The level of WTF on that was so high that it threw me completely out of the world of the show. Having it as background music would've been fine, even having it be the weird cylon music they were hearing, but speaking the lyrics, like in a bad songfic? Nuh-uh.

Ugh, it's midnight. Don't wanna get up tomorrow morning.

yeah.. the All along the watchtower bit was a bit.. odd.. a little non sequitur.. unless Jimi Hendrix is a cylon and was on earth.

while we figured that Baltar was going to not be executed, i felt they did a good job with getting us there. not a surprise but a good journey.

as for the Fab Four - i don't think they're cylons.. rather they are being tricked into thinking they are, in order for them to doubt themselves and be crankier than usual. the bartender is in on it (where all of them heard the music first). i think the cylons did something to them when they were on new caprica.. we know that Tigh was picked up and messed with, and perhaps the other 3 resistance members were also similarly chipped or tagged (although anders kept a low profile.. hmm..)
whitney thinks that perhaps they are incomplete.. that Kara is supposed to be the fifth member of their band. she also reminded me that from season one, the creators have been wanting a way to introduce a familiar music piece into the show. (but again to me, non sequitur).

i think it is Kara, not really dead. you'd think if she were really dead, they'd spend a little more time mourning her properly... like having a funeral or somesuch. nope, one week she goes boom, and next week, Lee's becoming a lawyer and Anders is a little drunk and falls down.

See that's what I was thinking too, since they were all the Resistance people, that somehow the Cylons were just screwing with them. Unfortunately it looks like that's probably not the case.

I feel like Kara can't possibly be dead. Her special destiny was to die in a fire? Mmm, not so much.

Anders is a little drunk and falls down

Whoops! Fellover.
