"Final Cut"

A few of my disjointed thoughts about "Final Cut":

All in all, a very different episode than we’re used to. I enjoyed the “media” style, but the grainyness of the camera did get to me a little.

One question: where is Tigh getting his alcohol? There’s a finite supply of the stuff (unless Cally and her pals managed to set up that distiller some episodes back, but that’d still be alcohol of questionable quality). It would make no sense for the colonials to waste their food resources making alcohol, anyway.

Lucy Lawless, a Cylon! Aaah!! I love how the creators threw that at us at the last second. I honestly hadn’t thought of that until I saw her with the other Cylons at the end.

I liked how, through the interviews, each character was given a little background. Everyone is more flawed and broken than ever before.

Lee Adama half-naked.. yeah, that was unnecessary.

In a battlestar of that size, the crew don’t even get small cubes or something to call their own “room”? So it’s one massive dorm-like atmosphere? Craziness. I’ve never served in a military of any kind, but I can tell you that kind of existence would drive me insane very, very quickly. (Well, that combined with the constant threat of attack by Cylons.)

I wish they would not have had that micro-scene with Sharon. It was in the preview and the episode had nothing to do with her. I hope, at least, they follow up in the next episode.
And she wasn't pregnant very long! If she was human and was going into labor, her baby would definitely not survive, being too premature. But who knows what breeding capabilities the Cylons have.

An alcoholic will drink whatever he/she can find. And the Colonials are human, after all. A good number of us tend to rely on alcohol, at least to destress. I'm very sure there is more than one distillary, plus some of the fleet are a bit more luxurious, so there's got to be some stash somewhere.

Lee Adama half-naked is only as unnecessary as the majority female fanbase says it is. You and I would be in a very small minority -- most of us are [straight] men.

The bunks of the pilots are very much like military sea vessls of today. They need to be all packed in, and approachable all at once in an emergency. Especially in these circumstances, they don't get time off to speak of.

The scene with Sharon ties in to Lawless' report to the other Cylons about the health of the baby. If yafah is right, then the Cylons don't know what's really going on.

You didn't note the background music for the reporter's finished piece??? It was the old BSG's theme music!!!

The music, yes! That was hilarious!
I read somewhere that it's supposed to be the "national anthem" of the colonies now. (???)

I dunno about that, but that would be kinda funny.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was a miscarriage and that Cottle was able to stop it from happening. I, too, hope we get more about that in the next ep.

You guys are right about the miscarriage. I don't know why I said "labor"; I was thinking something along the lines of "baby distress thingie" when I typed.
