BSG Webisodes: Plea to my American Comrades!

[beccatoria]

So, if anyone hasn't heard yet, Amazon has entertainingly released all the webisodes (for some reason minus the ninth, but including the tenth) on their site here:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000128561

It's one of those hateful "You are not in America! You may not watch!" jobs, though. So I can't watch them.

Some kind soul has uploaded 6 - 8 onto YouTube, but no sign of the 10th (or 9th but that makes sense since I don't think 9 is up on Amazon either).

If anyone has seen the 10th webisode could you give me a summary or something? Pretty please?

(Obviously, fair warning, I am hoping for webisode spoilers in the comments!)

THANK YOU FAIR AMERICANS!

I'm not sure. While I'm worried about the Chief's mental attitude, later episodes do show him connecting again with his son, and Nicky is someone who will never abandon him just because he's a cylon and a relationship that is completely accepting on at least one side. Plus parent-child is kind of a bond you can't decide you're through with because it's difficult. So I think of all of them, he's the most stable right now in terms of connections to the realworld, even if not in his own head.

In some ways I also feel that he's been through his breakdown and come out the other side. And sure, that side's given us a weird, zenlike, I will laugh at the apocalypse version of Tyrol but he's not running around having existential crises anymore. He's at some weird sort of peace with his identity and whatever happens to him, and I really think he does love his son.

Which is why now I will snuggle him. When prior to 4x06, I would have patted him gently with an extended arm, nervously. ;)

Hmm, these are all good points. I was reading him more as having hit rock bottom and sort of soaking in the irony of it all. The knife from the Last Supper pic also worries me, since I have no idea how that may play out (if it means anything at all). Your take on him is making me a little less hopeless, though. And yeah, I think he really does love his kid, hopefully that will help keep him grounded. The parent-child bond is no small thing, like you said.

I'm really just worried about all of them at this point. I have no characters on this show that I just can't stand, so whoever doesn't make it will always hurt a bit for me.

(And I love your Anders icon!)
