Random commentary on Kobol's Last Gleaming

Yes, I was listening at work. Again. Whilst simultaneously letting the computer play both seasons' soundtracks...

Which caused, well, dueling Passacaglia, which made me laugh hard enough to almost fall out of my chair.


HAHAH. Now there was an orgasm that cut off a bit abruptly.

Also. Still. Hot. zomg. Pls can we have some Kara/Anders smutty moments for me to listen to at work?

oops. Dueling Passacaglia. *snerk*

omg. The banter, during the card game in Kobol 1.
(paraphrased, as there's about five people talking over each other)
Gaeta: I'm out!
Lee: It's not your turn.
Gaeta: Frankly, I don't care -- no, no, thank you, Doctor. I have watch later.
Gaeta: So, Crashdown, Ensign Davis?
Crash: What?
Gaeta: You know...
Crash: A little bit of this, a little bit of that.
Someone: There we are.
Gaeta: *something possibly derogatory*
Lee: C'mon, do you guys always play this slow?
Crash: What'd you say? Don't distract me from the Ensign Davis
Lee: Uncanny, uncanny, I know. Right, 20 I call. And I raise another 30.

You know, Gaius wouldn't mind Starbuck being the father of his child.

...and Gaius coldly, calculatingly, talks Sharon into suicide.

Hrm, Dad and Lee were BOTH pissed that Kara went to TIGH about her idea for taking out the base ship.

Again, I note that this whole "OMG Arrow of Apollo!" thing is really out of left field. FOR SHARON AND HELO TO KNOW ABOUT. wtf?

AND MOM PWNS DAD. Damn, Skippy, you should KNOW never to mess with a woman!

"This government survived a cylon attack, it will survive William Adama." *snicker* Mom gets good lines. (and people say this show has no humor. BAH)

You know, it totally is that Mom took Dad's toys away... "omg I cut you, bitch!" "I cut you first!" "You bluff!" "you lie!"

The Sharons say "you can't escape destiny".... and Kara "has a destiny". *snerk* Does this make her a cylon?


Also, I've been meaning to mention this, during Final Cut, D and Dee are talking about cameras and their specs. It's quite cute, and almost unnoticeable because the visual focus in the scene is Gaius.

And apparently there's a cut scene where it's made explicit that Dad was only going to blow up the raider in some kind of bombing attack ANYWAY. So Mom's "OH MY GODs WHAT THE FRAK ARE YOU SMOKING!? Kara, go do this." makes more sense.

*hug Mom* She pwns Dad constantly. You'd think he'd figure that out.

Well, yeah. That was Starbuck's plan. Use the raider to get close, jetison self, and let the autopilot take it in the rest of the way to go BOOM in the basestar.

Starbuck's crazy, INSANE plan, THAT SHE TOLD TO TIGH FIRST.

Mom: "Oh, HELL NO."

I LOVE MOM SO MUCH.

Mom: Starbuck, he's lying. You want to find Earth for the people, or you want to never get home? Also, I'm dying, and I want you all safe, damnit.
Kara: ... Hey, Dad, lie to me really well about how you know where Earth is.
Dad: We might get there?
Kara: ...shit. HELO. You're dating a cylon!
Helo: But, I'm gonna be a daddy!
Kara: Men. Are. Stupid.
Mom: Word. Let's take over the fleet.
Lee: Can I help?
Kara: You're already an honorary chick, Lee. Sure.

Billy: "...don't kill me I can organize things?"
Mom: "Of course. Billy, get your notebook."

Kara: Got any good sex tips in there?
Billy: *bright red* Um, uh...
Mom: Starbuck.
Kara: *smirks*
Lee: *bounces back in* I can get us a freezer to hide in!
Kara: Oh, great Lee. I always wanted to be a popsicle. Remind me again why you're here?
Lee: I thought you liked me.
Kara: Okay, so, you're pretty on the eyes. But, c'mon, Lee. You've got a stick up your ass and an inability to think outside the box without crashing your own little worldview.
Mom: That was articulate.
Kara: I've been reading my Freud.

Bizarrely, I have now caught up enough to know what the hell you're talking about!

Uh... why wouldn't sharon know about the arrow?

I find it highly convenient that, suddenly, instead of "Let's get to Delphi and get a ship and get off Caprica" Sharon is instead saying, "Let's go to the museum and recover an arrow I've never mentioned before, because it's important. Even though I was never planning on doing so before this."

I think in a podcast somewhere RDM admits the storyline of getting Helo and Sharon back with Kara was too contrived. I know RDM says at one point it was the actor who plays Helo who said that Helo didn't know Cylons looked like humans, which prompted them to hurriedly write the scene in the barn where Helo sees another Six. Of course, if you want you could chalk the whole trip to the museum up to the fact that Boomer would have known Kara jumped back to Caprica and therefore transmitted it to the Cylons when she was in the basestar. At least the museum is in Delphi.

It makes sense that Helo wouldn't know about humancylons. And I like the scene where he and Sharon are discussing it in Colonial Day (whether they're humans, or some sort of wierd clones).

I think it's mostly a sign that the cylons are setting the humans up.
