BSG reaction post (ever so reactionary, yes indeed)

This is inevitable, isn't it. Spoilers for episode 4.13 'The Oath.'

I was considering waiting and doing a thoughtful post, but after that episode, I have to get this part out of the way first. Maybe there will be something more analytical later. or maybe not. Dude. This was a total adrenaline rush.

jumping into reactions in totally random order:
OH LAIRD! I'M SORRY YOU GOT TAKEN DOWN IN MY BLOODTHIRSTY DESIRE TO SEE MORE GENDER EQUITY IN THE DEATHS ON BSG! (Though I never wrote him in fic, so I don't feel all that guilty. :-P )

Is Skulls going to live? 'Cause that kind of injury... it could go either way, depending on how soon he gets help.

Oh, Seelix. I'm really afraid for you. That was... bitchy yet understandable. And not very surprising, considering the role she played on New Caprica.

Caprica Six: please get some comfy flats. Those heels look a bit ridiculous. ;-)

That goodbye kiss is one of the few times I've totally been okay with the Roslin/Adama ship. Mostly because now there is ANGST as they get separated! (And we all know that ANGST is a great way to get me to like a couple.)

We all knew that Gaeta would be the Best Mutineer Ever. Indeed. Too bad he's so very efficient. :/

EVERYONE looked totally awesome holding their guns: Kara, Lee, Adama, Tigh... which is just weird, when you think about it. Guns = sexy on TV, but not so much in real life.

Speaking of which, HOW AWESOME WERE TIGH AND ADAMA RESCUING THEMSELVES?! So very awesome, that's how awesome.

Gaeta arrested Hoshi. Whoa.

Mah pretty pretty mens! They hit Sam and Helo! I actually shrieked out loud when Helo went down. They actually have me worried about Athena--which takes a lot, let me tell ya.

Racetrack! :/ I've written her, so she's totally on my potential death list (and Seelix too, FYI). Oh, Maggie, dear--I understand, really, but this is NOT a good idea. Mutiny never is. unless you're Leland Adama

Ha, a reason to appreciate Tyrol not being Nicky's dad: now he can go around and be totally efficient without me being panicky about who's taking care of his son.

Dear Connor: remember how this whole judgmental thing went before? Not well, Connor. Not well at all.

Gaius and Laura's conversation was fascinating. I love watching them onscreen together.

No need to comment here. Everyone else on Los Internets is making the same kind of WHEEEE/AAAUUUUGH posts right now. :-)

Agreed. I was just kind of mumbling out loud when I saw what she was doing in providing a distraction. Along the lines of "Oh no, Maggie. No. Maggie what are you doing? No no no no no."

I know! It's sort of a joke in my LJ that any secondary female character that I've written is doomed, because since season four started, they've killed off Cally, Jean Barolay and Dualla... and I wrote fics from their POV. But I thought Racetrack was safe until I watched this episode! Ack! I figured it was going to be Seelix next... not that I wanted that, either.

It really isn't that big of a shock, though. Racetrack helped in the mutiny that got Laura Roslin out of the brig. She has no love for the cylons, like many other pilots. And the mutineers really do have a point--at least, some of them do. I think the remaining Sunshine Boy (Gage? I'm not sure of his name) is just ready for anything that makes him feel like he's getting payback for real and imagined slights.

I wonder if Hamish is going to live?
