EVEN DREAM ADAMA DEATH IS BETTER THAN NOTHING! *criez*
But yeah, it was fairly obviously a dream sequence.
I also agree with you about Gaeta. I'm very glad that they kept him more human throughout and while arguably they could have made it more ambiguous, I do think that the show supports a reading of Gaeta having very good points.
It's an awful thing that Gaeta probably will be remembered as a mutineer rather than the resistance fighter he was on New Caprica. I think the way this mutiny is remembered both by the show and the characters in the show in the last run of episodes will be...interesting. And thinky. Although I don't have words for those thoughts yet.
I'm both relieved and saddened to know you think my reading of the A/R situation is accurate. Relieved because it means I'm not a paranoid crazy person but saddened because I want the show to be better than this. I want the old Laura Roslin back, dammit. The one who might say, "I love you," to Bill Adama but in the next breath was gonna tell him to blow the ship she is on to hell. :(
I agree with you on Narcho and Kelly. They were really well written here and helped show various sides of the issue. I hope you're right about the fallout too.
I think the thing that shocked me more than the mention of the numbers of ships was how SMALL that number is. 35? I remember when Roslin took a third of the Fleet with her to Kobol and that in itself was over 20 ships. I didn't realise they'd lost so many!
Thanks for the information about the Canada Gulf War II situation - I didn't actually know that. But very interesting.
Also, your previews are more awesome than the American previews, and DEFINITELY more awesome than MY previews which are...nonexistent! But OMG yes, I found the Space preview. *massive relief*
