Away FOREVER (well, 4 days) and a BSG-related Plea!

[beccatoria]

I shall be AWAY for the next 4 DAYS. I know, I know, as an internet-powered cylon from the future, this is a dicey choice at best, but I think I should be okay.

I'll probably get online for like ten minutes or something to check my email tomorrow, nominally in case I have Job Info from a Temp Agency, but obviously I have OTHER PRIORITIES.

I'd be really, really grateful if any of you could leave comments to this post after BSG tonight relaying any plot points that you think I'd find awesome/awful/interesting? I don't need extremely detailed blow-by-blows, just a quick summary of things that I'll care about would be awesome?

In some ways this is probably for the best: I'm horribly nervous about this episode so getting people to pre-watch it for me is possibly the best plan anyway.

I'm pretty sure you all know me well enough to know what I care about, but in case, I am specifically interested in the following:

- Cylon Intra-Familial Drama
- Laura Roslin's reclaimation (or lack thereof) of her own awesome.
- Starbuck and that whole thing about how she came back from the dead and whether I'm psychic.
- FLIPPER.

Thank you!

And the joy turns to tears. Caprica just miscarried. :( At the end of a rather strange scene in which we are meant to believe love can save the baby.

And Baltar has just convinced Adama, Lee, and Laura to let him arm him his people. Something about fears of a blended ship. I'll need to catch more on rewatch.

OH! Sam is waking up! I think!

Huh. The Cylons are putting pictures of Cylons that have died in the fleet on the memorial wall.

And maybe, conversely, that thinking he loves Ellen and/or Bill slightly more for a split-second could kill the baby.

It was very, very sad.

Jane Espenson wrote this ep so it actually makes sense that things don't make sense and characters weren't in character. She's fine taking a pass on a script, but they should not let her do the main draft.

I think we're meant to believe that the Cylons believe that love would save the baby, but it was set up prior that Caprica's stress was already causing trouble. Then Ellen goes and pulls that shit (loved to see Ellen return to her true form) and really, that was enough to take Caprica over.

Interestingly, it wasn't Caprica's pain that hit me over the loss of the baby, but Tigh's, especially with the big hug at the end. [Wil]Liam really did represent everything he loved. :(
