salineaEpisodes 3x11 to 3x16 (The Eye of Jupiter, Rapture, Taking a Break from all your Worries, The Woman King, A Day in the Life, Dirty Hands)
The Eye of Jupiter & Rapture
The religious treasure hunt is back on, yay! It's cheesy, kinda kitsch but it's load of fun and intriguing as well and I'm enjoying it ^_^ And there was a SUPERNOVA! How cool is that XD
However it does beg a few questions. The Final Five, how come they're such a myths to the Cylon societies if they, like themselves, evolved recently? Beyond the part where it's important to us watchers for plot reasons, why is seeing their face so important to d'Anna?
If all of this has happened before, who were the Cylons the first time around? When were the Cylons created by the human society, in fact? (How did their society recover from the sudden lack of that manual labor when they rebelled, too? XD)
I suppose if the Five are a whole independent faction they might be the ones behind Baltar's Vision!Six (and Six's Vision!Baltar) and the other stuff.
More people getting vision/intuitions like Chief and Starbuck, that's interesting. No Chamalla needed anymore (I need to look back at the S2 DVDs for Starbuck's paintings).
I suppose d'Anna's apology means there's one of the Five among the Galactica crew... and with them being separate from the other factions, there's the plot reason for no reveal previously. Apart from Adama, Lee, Roslin and Tigh (age and family reasons), it really could be anyone, I guess.
Otherwise I'm happy that Dee and Anders are back to having a personality, yay! I'd miss you Dee. I could live with more of Anders and Lee facing off while they are all sweaty and shiny, too :D
Wow, Boomer's impressively bitter and angry.
And Roslin's big second mistake is biting her back in the ass. Adama didn't know, fancy that.
It's funny how Baltar still doesn't get that everyone hates him.
Taking a Break from all your Worries
Baltar's back ♥ Loved the episode mindfuck and Baltar analysis. Roslin still utterly doesn't get him, expecting him to admit responsibilities, it's kind of hilarious. Gaeta's anger at Baltar is a thing of beauty.
And for all that I actually like the Lee/Kara's trainwreck of angst and shippiness, I was frustrated anytime they came onto screen, GET BACK TO THE BALTAR DAMNIT!
The Woman King
Subtlety, motherfuckers, do you write it?
(I'm not sure what it says about me that I partially liked this episode even if it was cringe worthily unsubtle)
(also, where the hell is Zarek? wasn't he from Sagittaron like Dee?)
A Day in the Life
Wait, that was an episode that was supposed to make me like Adama, right? I mean, it wasn't supposed to make me want to gouge his eyeballs out and rinse them with bleach, right?
Don't you flirt with him, Roslin, go and flirt with Zarek. Or Lee (do you remember when you used to talk to Lee? Those were the days), or Tory,or Baltar. Anything's better than the guy who tells his son to shut up when he's trying to tell him about being abused by his mother because he wants to keep a nice memory of her.
(I guess it was a pretty good episode, in terms of craft)
Dirty Hands
How very cute. I want to puke.
Never mind the manufactured for the express purpose of this episode problems, including the cute kid working in the factory.
Chief, I love you, but the right answer to Adama was "okay, shoot Cally and me and the others and then see who else you can find to fix your ship, vipers and raptors since we're so short handed we were just forced to keep Seelix", you imbecile. And don't be surprised that Roslin's so happy to deal with you as a Union leader what with being so fluffy, and nice, and salt of the earth guy which they know will bend for what they're asking. And of course they're willing to negotiate once you corrected your tone and asked very nicely instead of demanding from a position of strength.
(also the part about telling Baltar you're still in democracy might have been more convincing if Roslin had ever been, you know, democratically elected. Never mind that the democratically elected guy was such a trainwreck, it still shows the obvious flaws of your argumentation).
And where the fuck was Tom Zarek?
On Baltar's (supposed?) farmer upbringing I have only thing to say : what? O_o
Did the show managed to make me hate both Adama and Roslin in just two episodes? Right, I believe it did.
