I love Ellen as the sekrit schemer of 2000 years ago if she STAYS DEAD
I really, really love this idea. Not the least because we will get more flashbacks from the happy Cylon society where Tyrol has awesome glasses and Anders is a rockstar. I need more of these as soon as possible. :)
But, really because bringing her back just doesn't make what happened on New Caprica sit right with me. I've been wanting the Fifth to know who and what they were all along, but now that it's Ellen? I don't. If she comes back it affects my emotional reading of her death and I'm really and unreasonably attached to that scene.
But she has potential as the Fifth, yes. Especially if she goes wandering the radioactive desert with D'Anna. I don't think this image will ever cease to be endlessly entertaining to me.
I have hit a point with Adama where I find him utterly ridiculous. I don't know what he could possibly do to win me over now that we've reached this level. Does laughing help? I think my character appreciation mission over the hiatus has failed spectacularly with him. Lee was good here though, and desperately needed that hug. He's going to have to shoulder so much now with Roslin quietly breaking down. She was in here for such a short time, but she was just so heartbreaking on the raptor.
For such a short scene, D'Anna brought up some of the most interesting questions of the epsiode for me when she opted out of the merry go round cycle of destiny. I'll miss her if she's just gone.
I do wonder if one of the reasons I'm not more concerned is that they're still asking questions rather than giving answers.
This was one of the things I liked most about the episode, though I'm a little scared what will happen when they finally have to show their hand. But I like that all of the reveals (especially Ellen) didn't make me go "Oh, well now I understand everything." It's been a long break and we deserve some payoff but the questions are still just so interesting.
