Highlights/Moments of Revelation
- The close up of the Cylon bodies inside the resurrection ship just before cutting to the credits made me jump -- and make the title make sense.
- Adama speaking up against Laura's prediction that the Pegasus would win a fight between the two Battlestars. ("I wouldn't count on that.")
- Adama apologising to Sharon for "the attack".
- Six misses sports! (I enjoyed how this was referred back to in the next episode.)
- Why didn't the guards rush in to the cell and shoot the Six model on the Pegasus whe she started strangling Gaius?
- Did she (Gina) want to die so badly that she was willing to compromise the Cylon's plan by helping the humans destroy the resurrection ship?
- Tigh (of Starbuck): "Another one of her crazy ass stunts. Thank the Gods!"
Highlights/Moments of Revelation
- I loved how Sharon answered Adama's question about why the Cylons hated them so much by referencing something he said himself, and so far back as in the Miniseries, no less.
- So often in this show there's a space battle going on, with all the amazing special effects (and they really are quite impressive), but it's not the main or only focus of the story -- there are always personal battles between characters going on at the same time.
- I enjoyed the imagery of Lee drowing in water as a simile for what he was feeling in his leaking space suit, but given the ending, the "48 hours earlier" bit at the beginning was rather pointless.
- How very neat that Cain died and Galactica's problem of being under her command went away, despite what Starbuck said.
- I'm so happy for Laura and Bill! Also; note how right I was about predicting their relationship! However, this was their first on screen kiss, but they weren't acting like it was their first kiss ever, especially doing it in front of Billy.
- Why was Dee eavesdropping on Lee and Kara? Is she a Cylon?
- Sharon: "Where do we go from here?" (Whedon fans: you know why I picked this one.)
The battle as seen from Lee's perspective is perhaps the most enduring and beautiful pieces of CGI I've seen in recent times and it's a stark contrast to the filth and overall grim of the colonial fleet and it's society.
ReplyDeleteThe last few episodes have also been a landmark for Tricia proving her acting ability.
I completely agree about the space battle, Jarrak. As for Tricia's acting, at first I didn't get what you meant, but then realised that of course she played both Head Six and Gina! Her portrayals were so good that I almost forgot it was the same actor!
