BSG 411

[smiley_b]

Just finished watching this.... thoughts (largely incoherent) are behind the cut

Holy Mary Mother of God.


Still stunned. Completely and utterly floored. Have to say that I was convinced that Dee was going to turn out to be the Fifth Cylon. Convinced. She's done very little the last season or so, now all of a sudden she's all over the ep? And especially when she walked into the officers racks humming. So when she picked up that gun.... oh wow. Never saw it coming (and I sceamed so loud my mum called up from downstairs to make sure I was alright).


Actually loved the Lee and Dee scenes in this ep - I was rooting for those two!! And when Gaeta looks up as she comes in, so happy, stars in her eyes, you could just see him thinking "here we go again." They (Gaeta and Dee that is) are actually one of my favourite pairings, and AJ just broke me when he's kneeling there, barely able to speak. And the look he gave Lee outside the morgue.... oh, my poor darling!!

Moving on.... the 13th colony were Cylons? That blew my mind...

Loved the scene where they got back to Galactica, and Laura's standing there in front of the fleet, totally unable to say anything to them. Mary McDonnell knocked that scene, and all the others, out of the park. (Although the book burning actually HURT me to watch!)

Kara finding her own body.... that was freaky (and as I just read on another LJ post, when something freaks Leoben out you know you have problems!) So if she's not the original Kara Thrace, who the bloody hell is she? How did she get back to Galactica?? I have a feeling this is going to be one of those time tracel things that makes my brain bleed out my ears...


And the ending... Ellen is the Fifth Cylon?? REALLY??? How on earth does that work, seeing as Saul killed her on Caprica and she is dead dead (as opposed to soap opera dead)? My is very confused!!!

Am sure there's loads of stuff I'm forgetting... I keep coming back to "Holy Mary Mother of God"!!!!

Great article of recounts from when they were filming!

I was so impressed by this episode and amazed that half the people speculating on who the final Cylon was, were right!

For some reason though, I thought it was already known the 13th colony were Cylons, no idea why.

Btw, I can't remember, does everyone now know who the final 4 are? I couldn't remember! I mean, obviously Adama knows about Tigh but seriously, no clue on the rest!

I'm fairly sure everyone knows about the 4 - there was the bit in the previouslies where you saw Sam and Tyrol being arrested (for want of a better term), so I'd imagine everyone found out then.

Possible that it was already known the 13th colony were cylons; I tend not to read a lot of BSG stuff online as I'm terrified of being spoiled!!

I thought this ep was just brilliant - as I said, I was convinced Dee was the fifth, right up til she picked up that gun! Last time I had this reaction to an ep was when Cally got airlocked!!

Huh I missed that, really I need to go back and watch the rest of season 4 again, I skipped bits I think.

lol I don't normally read anything either, apart from after you said who the 5th was had leaked, then I hunted around and couldn't find it anywhere! Glad I didn't know!

Same here, I really thought it was Dee when she started humming and then, wow, just wow.

I think I was more angry over Cally because I really liked her!

I think part of the problem is it's so long since s4 was aired... makes it easy to forget stuff!!!

I was indifferent to Cally, I could take her or leave her (though I know a lot of people didn't like her). Dee just hurts because it was so out of the blue and also because I really like Kandyse McClure going back as far as Higher Ground!
