smiley_bOK, this is in no way a detailed post; (a) I need to time to process.and (b) I direct to you my last post where Ireland won the Grand Slam and I split a bottle of wine with Dad!
But I really did enjoy this. I was expecting them to Blakes 7 it, instead we got a finale that had HOPE in it.....
The bit that got to me most was when Anders flew the ship into the sun, and they played the original Galactica theme. That got the tears going. Boomer paying back the Admiral also made me weepy... one of the things I loved most about all the flashbacks was that you could see how far all these characters had come (they made much more sense than in last weeks ep!!)
Loved Laura's line to Cottle early on: "go light a cigarette and be grumpy"
I shrieked my head off when they shot Helo, I was so glad he survived and that the Fighting Agathons lived to fight another day!
The Tory reveal was BRILLIANT. As soon as Ellen said they'd know everything there was to know about each other, I knew exactly what was coming. And it was just electrifying. I loved when Tigh told him he would have done the same thing. The Chief's story ending was sad, but it did make sense in light of everything that had happened to him .
"Nothing but the rain" KILLED ME. Almost as much as Adama putting his ring on Laura's finger.
Kara disappearing was like a punch in the gut, though as soon as Lee turned his back on her I knew it was coming. I kinda like that it was so ambiguous as to what she was... and Katee just acted the hell out of all her scenes. Kara Thrace will not be forgotten.
And this post was way longer (and more detailed!!!) than I meant it to be... there may be more thinky thoughts in the morning when I've processed everything, but for now my bed is calling me.....

Date: 2009-03-22 01:29 am (UTC)Now I know your not a shipper so this isn't gonna effect you the way it did me. But that scene just pissed me the hell off. I wasn't asking for happy or for them to be together. I knew that wasn't going to happen. But to have her just leave him mid conversation. They deserved a better ending then that. I think I realized for me BSG hasn't been BSG since Kara died.
When Tory brought it up I was trying to think what the frak Tory had done. Then they started flashing and it hit me. The Chief killed in these last couple of episodes.
Had to wiki Blakes 7 for the ending. Damn that almost as bad as St. Elsewhere. Okay nothing is as bad as St. Elsewhere. Anyways my point I had a point. Them finding Earth ruined it for me. I loved the first hour and a half of the final. But find Earth just ruined it for me. I'm not sure what I wanted from the final but finding Earth was never really something I saw in this shows future. For me this show was about the fight and yes a good deal of my love for the first two seasons where wrapped up in Kara/Lee.
I've always been a Boomer fan from day one, and knew that somehow she would do the right thing. And Grace Park kills me when she plays Boomer off Athena.
The only bright spot for me in the last thirty minutes. Cause The Agathons had to make out alive.
Like I said I think for me BSG died awhile ago. I just didn't know it until last night.
