even though I remember the episode from the first season where it took explosive rounds at close range to take them out.
This bothers me every time I see them going after the Centurions. I fanwank that Pegasus had immense explosive rounds in storage, but... even then. It's annoying.
Why skip another four months ahead, when the populace will be back in space in four episodes?!?!
This is truly bizarre, isn't it? And so many vital developments were glossed over in this mad rush: Sharon's inexplicable transition from enraged mother to devoted Colonial being chief among them. I need more than a hand wave to explain that one. I just... four episodes? Really? What a strange decision.
Ellen was always wrongheaded. In her death she became deeply tragic.
Sigh. Ellen was just about my favorite character on the show. I am really going to miss her. Also, the actress ROCKED her last scene SO MUCH. Oh, Ellen.
That whole scene was so incredibly hot that I could only stare.
I know! Their dynamic is so horribly WRONG and ABUSIVE and ICK and yet, um, well. It's Leoben and Starbuck. They're really hot together. Really. I can't help holding out hope for those crazy kids. I mean. You know. Maybe one day? ::cough::
then comes the Pegasus to save the day!
I can't help wondering just how powerful the Pegasus was. From the beginning, I was given the impression that the Basestars were overwhelmingly superior to human Battlestars, and certainly far superior the aging Galactica. But the Pegasus seemed so much more effective than even two or three Basestars. I don't know if the show has contradicted itself anywhere or not, but I still wondered when watching those battle scenes. (Which were spectacular for a TV show. The best I've ever seen outside of a theater, and better even than many of those.)
Hera, the lost hybrid returned to Cylon arms.
When they first introduced the hybrid baby storyline, I winced. I've seen this done so many times, and never well, but BSG's treatment of it has me genuinely intrigued. I honestly have no idea where they're going with it, outside of some really vague, long-term conjecture about the re-uniting of the two species. If that's even possible after all that's happened.
Anyway, great review! I always greatly enjoy your take on the episodes.
