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. :-)

Hah, I just realized I typed 'movie' up there instead of 'move.' *snickers*
Anyway. Gaeta thinks he's calm and rational and intelligent. He is. Until he gets swept away by a powerful emotion. Neck-stabbing with a pen, remember that? And I think he acts under the assumption that he's still calm and rational, even when he's not. Dee's death was a HUGE blow to the rationality. It's only been, what... less than a week? I don't know if we have a timeline for all of this, but he's still in mourning.

Hee! As if I can forget! Yes, I remember. And yes, he's still in mourning and his leg is gone and Felix has enough reason to hate someone. But the Cylons like this?
(What do you think they intended the 'secret' to be if there were no webisodes? I'm so curious!)
As for underestimating people, well . . . When Laird went down he knew what Zarek was. Boy's eyes are open now. And he isn't flinching.
Rose, I fear this isn't going to end well for him. Or any of them, really. But I still think it's great for him to reach his badassery point. Even if it dooms him in the end.
