Basically I liked some of the visuals, the stuff with Baltar and Caprica except his weird preaching, the fact that since they didn't have good explanations for shit like the Opera House, the Song and Kara's Dad they mostly just vagued the hell out of it (I mean, I dislike that they didn't have good explanations in the first place, but since I knew that already, I like that they at least didn't wreck stuff more). I also liked Hera as our common ancestor and the fact that Head Baltar referred to "god" as "it" while Head Six went on about math and patterns so I am just GOING TO BELIEVE THAT GOD IS A ROBOT.
Oh, also I liked that Laura was hot and wearing very little.
That makes it sound like I liked quite a lot. I think the problem is the same as ALWAYS in S4.5.
Good ideas completely screwed by shitty presentation and focusing on the wrong, if not the opposite things to the things that they need to focus on.
So like, the loss of their technology as the herald of reverse-colonialism as their entire culture fades because they committed genocide on each other and as they become subsumed into primitive tribal lifestyles while simultaneously becoming more and more literally machines themselves, even though they can't even freaking work out how to make a bow and arrow...? That story? The story I wish I'd seen?
Not there because, I dunno. Focus. Bullshit. *sigh*
We're totally gonna kick its ass with Prelinger though. And possibly the fic I'm about to write about how their entire civilisation disolves.
