BSG 4x...something? The back half season premiere.

[jaina]

Okay, we finally got to watch Friday's BSG premiere. Here are a bunch of random comments, no deep thoughts whatsoever:

- Nice glasses, flashback!Aaron. Heh.
- "Bible's broken." Tell me more, President River.
- All I could think when they found the Starbuck-skeleton was, I bet Bones could help her with this. (Finished S1 want S2 now!!!)
- Why is Dee acting so *weird*? Wait, what the hell-- did she just SHOOT HERSELF!? WTF?
- Um, you guys. The writing. It is-- non-stellar. Decidedly so.
- Ohshit, Dad is drunk. This bodes poorly. Rogue has a good point-- where is the alcohol coming from!? Algae alcohol?
- Um. What the hell is going on? People are punching each other and Dad has a loaded gun and that totally looked like Claire in her cheerleading outfit he just passed.
- SERIOUSLY WHERE IS THE ALCOHOL COMING FROM.
- Haha, if I was going to make a BSG scrapbook I would cut the corners off all my pictures.
- Rogue comment: "The episode is called, 'Everyone Goes Fucking Nuts.'"
- So...why is everyone sprawled all over the corridors? Don't they have, y'know, quarters that they could be angsting in?
- "Ride the tide out to sea..." "Nice dissolve." /Spaceballs
- ELLEN TIGH WHAT. Well...that's a letdown. All that buildup and it was Ellen? Uh...kay.

I had actually thought Ellen was one for a long time. Only I thought she was going to end up being an older model. Like a prototype of the Sixes.

Oh well.

The writing. It is-- non-stellar. Decidedly so.

Yeah, no shit.

The dialogue especially, it was so weird and wooden and clunky. Bleah.

Huh, yeah, Rogue mentioned something about that...like how Ellen/Six kept morphing into each other in those weird visions of Tigh's.

I pretty much agree with everything here...especially the alcohol. I was watching with a friend and both of us kept going "do they have stills on board?" Because the alcohol is never ending.

Yeah, the writing wasn't impressive, but then again, this was a pretty depressing episode all around, because yes, I've dubbed it 'The One Where Everyone Loses It.'

And yes, the Ellen revelation was blah. Didn't do much for me except to go, "I wonder if it's a red herring." All that build up for Ellen? Just doesn't seem right.

btw, regarding the alcohol. One of the first things we saw in BSG 1st season was Chief Tyrol with his hidden still. So, yes, they have stills, they have alcohol and I'm sure in that desperate society, alcohol would make it to the top of the contraband must-have list.

Sure, but weren't they completely out of food and they had to go to that nasty algae planet just to get enough to eat? I mean where are the raw materials coming from? Can you make alcohol out of algae? (I think way too much about this.)

Haha, you know what, I bet the Cylons totes bribed them with alcohol.

Comforting to know I'm not the only one thinking these things. ;-) I hope Mom snaps out of it soon...I need her and Dad to do their kick-butt thing!
