BSG: Escape Velocity

Two episode ago I went on a long rambling ramble about how everyone was moving sideways. This week, I'm struck by the episode title. Escape velocity. Not just the fact that they're escaping, but the pressures and angles and circumstances and speeds they need to achieve in order to escape.

I figured it out. This season is going to make me uncomfortable and confuse me because

1) it's not going to follow standard television formula and,
2) it's not going to do what I'd do if I were in charge.

( That might seem obvious and one might ask where I've been the last three seasons, so let me try to explain: )

I think it's in the acting choices, a lot of it.

( Take Roslin, for instance. )

Something inside Laura Roslin snapped, and she doesn't give a shit anymore. Something inside everyone has snapped, except for Adama. Who I continue to actually like as a character now that I understand everyone around him is falling to pieces and he's incapable of understanding why, "Nobody's going anywhere," isn't working for him any more.

( Something inside me snapped, too. Or, My Opinion on A/R. )

Others who are escaping:

( Tyrol. )

( Tigh and Caprica Six. )

( Baltar and how I wish he'd keep away from my childhood beliefs... )

I'm not even making sense anymore, see. This show broke my brain...

So I'll end with a quick thought about Lee:

He's soooooo going to bust Tory to Laura about being one of Baltar's "girlie groupie sex whatevertheyares." Hur hur hur...
