vaznetti | BSG Finale

OMG! I loved that! I was a little worried because I'd gathered from some of the commentary that people weren't 100% enthused, but it was awesome!

Bad President Roslin! She got away rather lightly for a woman who tried to steal an election; after all, she still has her reputation, which is more than she deserves. And go Admiral Adama, for doing the right thing. I really did like the way the election was handled, and I like that Gaius won because he found an issue that everyone agreed with him on. (And regarding the demographic question -- if they're serious about increasing the human population, they have to settle down somewhere. I mean, obviously we as viewers know that this isn't the right planet to settle on because the show isn't set up like that -- but withing the context of the show there's no way to know that. They don't get the soundtrack music of impending doom, or whatever.)

I actually sat there during that whole sequence shaking my finger at the screen and saying "No! Bad Tigh/Dualla/Roslin! You must be punished!"

I was rather amused that the priest turned out to be a cylon after all.

You know, the thing about Anders is that he looks a lot like Lee. No wonder Lee is a little pissed off by that whole thing, although I have to say that pissiness is a state which seems to come pretty naturally to Lee Adama.

Poor Gina. I know that blowing up thousands of people along with yourself is wrong and all that, but she just seemed so... pained. Poor Gina. The Sixes are far and away the most interesting of the Cylons, and it's almost certainly down to the actress. Each Six is a little different.

I could not have loved the New Caprica set up more. The chief as a union leader, and Cally as his very pregnant white trash wife! Baltar as the sleazy, power-drugged president, with Gaeta as his loyal aide! (Oddly, I didn't see Zarek standing with baltar at the end; I wonder where he is?) And now, Starbuck as leader of the New Resistance. I wonder if she'll be any good at it. And Roslin really is a schoolteacher now! Ha! Poor Saul and Ellen hose a really bad time to jump ship, though.

Interesting, by the way, that all the ships in the fleet were still manned, and they all jumped away. So the Adamas have been taking their responsibilities to keep everything ticking over rather well. (OMG! The mustache! I am full of love! And Starbuck's hair, which is better than a clock!)

Basically, just assume I'm full of love. I'm a little worried about seeing what everyone else had to say, because I don't want my sheer insane joy to be spoiled.
