Yeah, it's my favorite show, but...

Oh Battlestar Galactica. I wonder what the writers are smoking when they write.

Hahahaha! This show is so crazy. The Chief mumbles about hot fudge planets, then goes off on a 'nature walk' in which he finds The Temple of Five! At the same time D'Anna Biers is trying to find out the identity of the final five cylons! And much later in season three we find out that Chief is one of those five remaining cylons. Whee! It's all pretty frakking crazy.

Standoff at the O.K. Corral aboard Galactica, with Boomer staring down Sharon, Three staring over Adama, Laura not staring at Gaius and Cavil giving a playful wink to Adama before he leaves.

The seven cylons argue in their version of the CIC, with bonus Significant Glances between Leoben and D'Anna as well as Leoben and Caprica Six.* Cavil's all set to Kill.All.Humans.

There's also quadrangle stuff on the algae planet, blah blah blah Lee fighty Sam fighty Kara fighty Dee... sweaty dirty yadda yadda yadda.

Then we move on to crazy hybrid babbling about the 'Chosen One,' which D'Anna interprets as being her and Gaius interprets as being him. *snerk* Then Caprica Six interrupts with a "But I thought we were connecting with our crazy threesome hijinx!" speech. Heh. Oh Six, you are so delusional. Actually, Oh Cylons, y'all are all so delusional. (Baltar is too, but everyone knows that.)

More on the planet now:
Sam: I'm gonna save Kara 'cause she's my (unfaithful) wife!

Lee: Yeah? Well I saw her first! So when I say we're not gonna save her, I mean it!

Sam: Oh yeah? Well I'm like a foot taller than you, so feel free to stop me from trying!

Lee: Well... my gun's bigger than yours!

Jean Barolay: (stays in background, pulls out measuring stick)

BTW, my second public post on LJ was about this same episode. My first commentary on Battlestar Galactica, just over a year ago! (it's here)

*CKR apparently doesn't like being given a lot of boring lines, 'cause he sure plays up the little screentime he gets. I was expecting him to mime "Hey baby, call me" from the smoking looks he and D'Anna were exchanging. *g*

Hee, the non-shippy brain is funny!

Aren't subtext (though this was basically text) scenes fun! And I love Jean. It's like "Boys, please. We have a situation here."
But dang, they were sweaty hot sweaty!

And disco!basestar! The lights, the shirt, the angst!

You really gotta love BSG. ;-)

I think I was way more critical of the whole quadrangle for this rewatch because I was specifically paying attention to the cylons. Not to say that the quadrangle doesn't deserve my eye-rolling reaction, though... it does.

Oh, and they were sweaty. The glistening beads of sexiness which somehow is magically sexy on TV but not so much in real life. Hee!

Ha! Yeah, I couldn't decide how much of me felt tragic about not having more Leoben and how much I just lamented everyone's wardrobes.

That?^^ Is actually a pretty good episode recap. :P

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

*g* Thanks!

It's a good thing that the actors sell the show as well as they do. Because some episode just merit the eye-roll.

Not a bad episode recap *g*

Yeah, it's one of those episodes there I start questioning why I think this show is so good. Because if you sink your teeth into it and start analysing it just a little the whole thing comes undone in seconds because the storytelling is a worse mess than usual. I know many of the shippers, especially the L/K shippers, thought they'd died and gone to shipper-heaven, but much as I can appreciate the visuals (Hey it's BSG so we get a lot of pretty people touching or itching to touch) the episode just doesn't work for me.

We shall not speak of the character assassination going on all round in this episode, because then I shall lose my composure and start behaving like the crazy unstable fangirl that I'm not.

Oh, definitely. BSG is fortunate in its cast, because without the actors selling the ridiculous plots as well as they do, those inconsistencies would be much more obvious.

Unfortunately this episode wasn't the worst at character assassination in season three. Ugh.

Season three makes my head hurt. And I haven't even watched all the episodes yet.

Sigh.
