i ♥ robots!

→ Baltar and Roslin snark was the best ever. Just completely and utterly fantastic and giggle-worthy and so them. Though it turned so very not funny when Roslin tried to kill him. Honestly? I have been worried about her all season and in that moment? I thought all of my worst fears had come true. Elosha, at this point in Roslin's journey, was a sight for sore eyes, she told Laura everything she needed to hear and thank the gods it worked!

→ Baltar making friends with the centurion was also totally adorable. I seriously love James and I think he plays the comedic stuff just as well has he plays the vulnerable, serious stuff. It was nice to see a bit of both in here.

→ The Helo/not!Athena scene creeped me out from the beginning. I kept wanting to say "he does know that's not!Athena right? Please tell me he knows!!" And then when she went to massage his neck I just... wow. But, honestly? This was kind of an unexpected and welcome surprise for me. Giving some tension between these characters, giving Helo a bit of meat in his story. As creepy as it was at first, I ended up kind of loving the whole situation between the two of them. And Tahmoh was on point, and Grace as always. And god he looked so good. *nods*

→ D'Anna did... not annoy me for once. Three has always been my least favorite character, but I loved her in this ep. Way to go writers! (JANE!) And way to go Lucy for an outstanding performance. Also, the scene where she goes to Baltar was actually kind of sweet. I'd almost forgotten about their history.

→ The Adama/Roslin thing, I guess he said it best. It's about time those two crazy kids made a go of it. I'm happy for them. But mostly? I'm happy that Roslin has her soul back.

→ Where the hell is Leoben?






→ MINOR WARDROBE SPOILERS FOR REVELATIONS PROMO He must have been shopping! Damn he looks good in that black shirt, it's all tight and gorgeous and... *drops dead* Next week? BE HERE NOW!

AHAHA. I saw the black shirt, too. Leoben dresses better when he thinks he might get laid (see: New Caprica eps) so maybe this means he knows something we don't. >:D

Also, no love for the Threes? Cry. I love D'Anna, but I was a Xena fangirl way back.

Hee! I like that theory!

Yeah I dunno she always bugged me for some reason... *shrug*

I know! Gaius. I have grtown to not hate him. I used to hate him lots but I am still not a fan. I'm ok with him for now.

I agree. WHERE BE LEOBEN?

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I have always had a soft spot for Gaius. Even though he can make the most idiotic mistakes. He has always been fun to watch, always. And James just... I think he is so adorable, just... *pinches his cheeks* lol. So yeah I dunno. Baltar's not my favorite but I've never truly disliked him.

ITA. Baltar and Roslin's bickering was awesome. So glad she came back to her senses and didn't kill Baltar. He's grown on me. A lot.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Wasn't it? So cute. And me too. I mean not only because she didn't kill Baltar, which whew he lost a lot of blood I was so worried! But just for the sake of Laura's own soul. There would be no coming back from that, killing a man? Just... no.

Good ep. Needed Leoben in a flight suit, though.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Massive agreement there.

HOLY SMACK, I went to leave a comment on someone else's journal and it ended up here..WTF?? your entry isn't even near the one that I wanted to comment about NINE INCH NAILS ABOUT.

Damn LJ, but I did want to tell you, I was flipping the channels the other day and whose face did I see...CKR, and you know he may be a sweetheart in real life, from what I've heard from those who have met him, he is...but he still scares me...but I'd want him on my side..he could kick anyones ass!!

I thought it was sort of hilariously inadvertantly appropriate that of the rebel Cylons, Leoben is the only model that apparantly never bothers with pilot school. He's a lover not a fighter, dontcha know?

I am *so happy* it's become easier to love Roslin again. Ecstatically so. Though it's heart-rending but oh so typical that it comes in the wake of Gaius pulling his usual shit, ie comparing himself to a force of nature and going so far into forgiving himself that he pins all the blame on God.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I missed him a lot. Haha. I really thought he'd be in this ep. Lover not a fighter. I like that.

I dunno, maybe Gaius has something there. The dying leader can't lead her people to earth if they're not looking. He's just playing his role right? All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again.
