BSG Liveblogging, spolieriffic version
Watching the BSG miniseries.
Will be edited as I watch more.
Okay, the people who didn't get to go on the shuttle off the dying world? REALLY hard for me to watch. Really upsetting. I know that's the point, but ow. Especially alongside the bit where they had to seal the bulkhead and leave the soldiers to die. People who watch BSG -- is it this hard throughout?
(Pava says that Mr. Overconfident Dickweed is good to have along, because he's a nice antidote to the overwhelmingly noble people left alive otherwise, but holy cow, I was so angry when Nice Pilot Dude gave up his place for him. I mean. I mean. He cause the destruction of his people because he was thinking with his dick! AUGH. Although he DOES get bonus points for not lying to the old blind woman when he could have, so he's not totally irretrievable, and he obviously feels awful for having thought with his dick, but still. I wanted the noble pilot to live, not the dickweed, but at least he's a dickweed and not a sociopath.)
And I kept having moments where -- okay, they had this bit where they noticed that the Cylons ships had, like, Cylon heads stuck to the ships. And they were like, "OMG, they don't have pilots! They ARE the ships!"
And I was like, well, yeah? You made them as tools. Now they're making themselves as tools against you. You're surprised? They are what you made them. You reap what you sow.
But I am liking a lot of the individual characters. Poor Apollo, for one, oh man, I like him a lot. And Starbuck, I really like her. But my favorite character so far? The Minister of Education, later the President, who is calm and compassionate and thoughtful and intelligent, and who stands up to Adama. Hurrah. I love her!
And I like the Asian woman in the shuttle with the kids and the old woman and the dickweed, but I have a fear that she's going to die in some noble fashion in the near future. So I'm afraid to get too attached to her. (I know that Starbuck and President Woman and probably Apollo survive at least a couple seasons, because I've seen Sci-Fi Channel previews featuring them for season two, at least.)
EDIT: I love the way it's unclear whether Gaius(?) is completely batshit insane, mildly insane and hallucinating due to guilt, or implanted with a Cylon monitoring chip.
Also, yow, more heavy 'you have to sacrifice people to live!' Wow.
This is reminding me of Babylon 5, but, yowza, more depressing.
EDIT 2: "They'd better start having babies."
"...Is that an order?"
LOL.
EDIT 3 and final: AUGH. I KNEW I shouldn't get attached to Boomer. But I like her so much! *sob*
