I hated that. Actually, I hated her playing the role, however briefly, of The Girlfriend. Ack.
Like for instance I actually liked the awesome way Laura called Adama out on his passive aggressive behaviour.
One of the best A/R moments EVA! And soooo relieved it wasn’t Adama, as I feared, but Lee who snapped her back to reality and made her realize she has to save her people!
you have no idea how much of a relief it is to see Baltar going back to being All About Baltar instead of being All About Being Your Saviour.
I do, I really do. And it was like a (good) reset had been hit and all the characters were back to being the people we know and love and being their awesome selves…accept, of course, for Adama. ;)
One of my fondest hopes for next episode (although I'm sure it will be dashed) is that Caprica will break out of the brig using only hear DEADLY STILETTO HEELS
That is the only reason for her to be wearing four inch stiletto heels. IT MADE NO SENSE!
her capture might have shed light on where she was living. I mean, I assume with Tigh, but who knows.
I wouldn’t assume with Tigh, but I would assume not in the brig.
I didn't even mind the kiss. Kind of like their previous S4 kiss I felt it was completely appropriate and intepretable in numerous ways. For those of you who think it was romantic, well, I agree that was the authorial intention, and don't even have a problem with that, really. I just think that the way in which it was loving also plays into the whole best-friends-grew-up-together-adrenaline-rush-cus-we're-alive dynamic they have that I also love.
I’m shocked! We read the scene the same way!
Racetrack helped save Roslin because she believed in the civilian government or in Laura's visions, not because she was in any way Cylon-friendly. Racetrack was actually - once I thought about it - a good reminder that, like Lee, you can be very, very anti-Cylon without being Connor.
I agree. In many ways Lee and Racetrack are on the same side – they both want civilian rule – but Lee is trying to work Laura and the system to ensure that happens and Racetrack and others have grown impatient waiting for the president to lead them.
And we are meant to be shocked by Racetrack’s choice because, really, you just never know about people. You think you know them, Lee was reeling form the thought of his friend standing by while he was about to be executed, but even though Racetrack accepted Athena, has flown missions with other Cylons, and has been the person you can count on to have your back, she’s lost as much as anyone else to the Cylons. And to suddenly be told that you are not just going to have to live with them, but they are going to be part of your government, they are going to have a hand in making laws that dictate how you live, and it’s all being foisted upon you seemingly by one man, well, it was more than she could take.
Racetrack, again, is committing mutiny because she wants to restore the person she sees as the rightful leader of the people to a position of power.
And with Laura resigning the presidency without actually resigning the presidency, leadership, to the minds of the mutineers, falls to Tom Zarek. He’s not a good choice, but he’s seen as their only choice.
