Remember Dee? And how, once she knew she was going to die, she became superhappy and started having this perfect day and helping people and being flirty and delightful?
Oh no! Laura was making me really uncomfortable throughout this episode but I hadn't made that connection. I admit I was squeeful about the sex (I ship them because they only time I can stand Bill is when Laura is around to make him hot ;) But I hate her not caring. It's who she is. Your people!
I assume he was constantly brushing his teeth to get rid of the alcohol on his breath.
It wasn't till my second viewing that I got that. I was wondering WTF was up with the heroic musical score.
Kara's problem has always been that when someone baits her, and she knows it, she sees it as an excuse to let fly and not disappoint them because she was baited. It's still her problem, and it's still awesome to watch.
That was my favorite scene of the whole episode, even though they were both horrifying. It was so perfect for both characters, and I loved the Collaborators reversal.
Cally trying to deal with the fact her son was half what she hated, that she loved him so completely while hating half of what he was, that she could never actually get rid of that either because he's her son, just, all of it...
I hate that retcon for a FEW reasons, but oddly the implications for Cally's suicide are the part I'm most okay with. I love her and I loved that reading of her death - well, not loved YKWIM - but I wrote elsewhere that: some people really came down on Cally for almost killing her son out of "hate" - not me; it just made me want to hug her more. I have strange taste in fictional women. ;p But maybe I like that particular motive being off the table. Because I think it works anyway. She tried to kill herself, because in her mind, the terrifying world she already inhabited had just reached surrealist levels of horror - Tigh and her husband Cylons?? - and I think she just couldn't bear to live in that world anymore, where any smiling face could hide a monster. And I can understand that she just instinctively could not bear to leave her baby alone in that world with no one to protect him. Oh, Cally. :(
but I really don't understand why her instinct wasn't to tell someone.
Would anyone have really believed the crazy drugged woman who just had a public breakdown because she was convinced her husband was cheating when she said he and the XO were secret Cylons though? It obviously wasn't rational, but given how close to the edge she was even beforehand I can imagine she just snapped and thought that nowhere was safe. Or, you know, Cottle is totally lying to protect Nicky from his psychotic anti-Cylon medic. ;) Who had better keep her paws off Caprica, my god. That was terrifying.
And I start to wonder what RDM's obsession with romanticising relationships where the guy is mad faithful in love while the girl sleeps around is all about.
Carol-Anne was going to be a cheater too, per the podcast but they cut it. Even the main female character on Caprica is described as "a brilliant scientist and unfaithful wife." Grrr.
I really...I don't know what's gonna happen when the exact thing that happened with Baltar happens again but this time Gaeta can't console himself in the knowledge that he was secretly on the right side all along.
