vaznettiDude, and we say Supernatural is emotional porn? Because, ye gods and little fishes!
Although really, my reactions are limited to variations on Oh, God, Oh, no and Oh, fuck. it started hard and didn't really let up. Even the plot points you could see coming a mile away (like Lee coming back to save the day) were well done. And I love that they did lose a battlestar, but it was Cain's blood-stained Pegasus. I rather wonder if the loss of the Pegasus will serve as a kind of reset -- it's presence marked a division in what was left of humanity from the moment it arrived.
Saul. Saul and Ellen. I'm just -- she knew, she knew what was in the cup, and he gave it to her anyway and... Oh, Saul.
And Gaeta, and Baltar finding his backbone, and... there were just so many good moments here.
I really did love the moment when Kasey's mother came up to take her from Kara. Because you knew that wasn't her daughter, but I was worried that she'd turn out to be some Cylon plant. But instead she was just a human child. Lovely.
But mostly -- wow. This was a great episode. And at the end, when everyone was cheering Adama? I did get chills, because that's going to come back and bite him in the ass -- because sure, Adama came back for them, but Tigh was the one who made sure there was something left to rescue, and the way he was standing there at the end, utterly alone...
Oh, Saul.
It felt very like a reset: one Battlestar, with Bill Adama in command. Roslin back in Colonial One (although isn't Zarek president now?) We'll see how well that works out for them.
