Hello darkness my old friend. How awesome was it to have Battlestar Galactica back on your television? (Or on your PC, if you took advantage of the live episode streaming during lunch?) Rather than ramble on with my usual Faulknerian floridity, I'm going to try something different and turn on the Hemingway filter to capture my thoughts on "He That Believeth In Me." (And if you haven't yet watched it, A. c'mon, what's wrong with you?!, and B. SPOILERS).
New opening. "All will be revealed." Extended space battle. Best in history of show? Best in history of TV? I rewatched again this morning. Movie quality effects. Frak yeah. Tighe shoots the old man. Dream sequence. Kinda like when Chief beat the hell out of Callie. Except that was real. And Callie kept talking. And Chief married her. Anders is a nugget. Did he make nugget mistakes? Don't think so. Red eye knows who and what he is. Gaius is christ-like. And has a harem of worshippers. Delightfully slimy and opportunistic. Where do I sign up to be Gaius? And give Callis an Emmy. Hell, give everyone the show Emmys. Starbuck is back. Her ship is new. Viper dealership on Earth? Chilly reception. Difference between 6 hours and a few months. Unless you're in line at the DMV. Lee hugs her. Anders hugs her. Everyone else? Cylon, bitch. PhotoHut says her pics are of Earth. No flight records of anything else, though. Gaius says the gods aren't real. Feels hollow when he prays. Smart man, that Gaius. Six tells Roslin the Final Five are close. Four are for sure. That mean the fifth is someone we know? In the fleet now? (Weird theory: I think the fifth is Zak. Oddly mentioned tonight. Somewhere in the fleet? Doesn't know who or what he is?). Iron Man commercials. I'm so there. Roslin shacking with Bill. Adama tapping that? Or professional courtesy? Why did raiders recognize Anders now? And not before? Or recognize others? Like when Tighe misplaced his eyeball? Gaius gets a close shave. Horny acolyte kicks ass. Sick kid gets better. Baltar is so getting laid. Again. Lee goes into government. What job? Veep? Anders tells Kara he'd love her if she was cylon. Kara says she'd shoot Anders in the head if he was. Ooops. Kara wants to chat with Roslin. With a gun. "We're going the wrong way."
Holy frak was that good.

It really didn't disappoint, did it? I was so glad. If it had been bad, I would have wept bitterly after waiting so long.
ReplyDeleteJust a guess, but I'm thinking that Kara's going to regret the ol' late night visit to Laura.
This one certainly didn't disappoint, did it? I was so glad. I would have been crushed if it had been bad.
ReplyDeleteKara's going to regret her late night visit to Laura, don't you think? I predict much glowering from Bill.
As much as anything can be worth waiting on for 55 weeks, that was certainly it, wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Bill will indeed glower, and Kara will be sent to a time out.
And Gaius might move to an electric razor.
