exsequar*flail* All I want to do is talk about Battlestar! I haven't stopped thinking about it all day. Of course this happens just as a MASSIVE hiatus starts *SIGH* Perhaps I'll rewatch S2 during the break, because I haven't yet, and I really loved parts of it.
First of all: KARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
*falls over*
I am still completely overwhelmed with joy. My Kara is ALIVE! She's BREATHING! It feels like I got my best friend back. (Only not really. You know what I mean.) I know everyone was saying "they're not done with Kara! She's coming back!" but I simply hadn't allowed myself to hope. It was easier to be angry and resentful and sad, but deal with my grief, instead of setting myself up for possibly disappointment and getting my hopes up. And I'm actually glad I didn't assume she was coming back, because that made the end of last night's episode a TRULY joyful experience for me. I was just so, so happy to see her beautiful smiling face. Oh, Kara. My spunky girl is back! Starbuck! With her smartass attitude, issues up the wazoo, truly fucked up relationships, and dazzling flying skills. I MISSED YOU KARAFACE! *clings to her*
And even MORE than that, my hope for Karalee is back in full force! I mean, Dee just left Lee, and Kara's husband is a frakking CYLON - you do the math! I have this gorgeous scenario in my head (uhm, completely unrealistic since they're in the middle of a battle with the cylons, but hush) of Lee and Kara landing their vipers on Galactica and Lee just collapsing onto Kara, squeezing her with all his might and trying his damndest not to cry but failing rather spectacularly. That is my current happy place! *drifts away*
And LEE. God. That SPEECH. He was so fucking spot on, and I hope that people listened to him (obviously his dad did!) because they need to do some serious revamping of their self-perceptions as a society. They're not just a normal civilization on the move - they're a ragtag band of random survivors stuck together in a dramatic life or death situation. The rules have CHANGED, drastically so. They can't afford to go tossing all their most important people in the brig for years, so they don't. By Lee's logic, which I believe 100%, it was proper for Gaius to be acquitted. I understand reactions like Roslin's, but at the same time... Lee has the right of it. And how he spoke just made me flap with love for him, cause god - so eloquent. He gave me chills. ♥! That's my boy! And he BETTER get his wings back, omg. Because PILOTS. He can't not be a pilot! He and Kara need to team up again!
Err, sorry. It always seems to come back to them for me ^_^
Random side note - how CUTE were Bill and Laura? When she called him to get her out of bed? ADORABLE!!! My friend Andrea and I were squealing loudly, while Brad laughed at us *g* I'm so sad that there's a wedge between them now because of Gaius - but what else can you expect on this show? *hands*
Then of COURSE there's the HUGE cylon reveal. I mean, obviously, that's gigantic. There are so many consequences and repercussions to be explored.
My first question is - how/when are they going to reveal this new truth to the rest of the fleet? Obviously Galen, Torri, Sam, and Tigh have no desire to go announcing to everyone else that they're cylons *hands* So are we going to have this little conspiracy between the four of them trying to figure out what to do with themselves? I'm fascinated to see how that plays out.
Then of course there's the consequences of specifically who is a cylon. Galen's son is a hybrid! Also, what does this say about Galen and original Boomer's relationship? Did they gravitate towards each other because fo their unconscious shared nature? And there's the big question of Tigh - Adama and Ellen have known him for decades, so... has he been replaced? Was he replaced on New Caprica?? How did the cylons manage to swap him out for a copy with all the same memories, unaware of his own nature? It gives me the shivers just thinking about it. Then there's Sam - Sam, who led the original resistance to the cylons back on Old Caprica, before Kara found him. Was he planted there to be in charge of and thus keep tabs on the surviving humans? Was the plan even more intricate than that - was he meant to end up on the Galactica? Most importantly, have the cylons finally realized that their boy cylons can be smoking hot too? *g* And then there's Torri, who we know almost nothing about, but are obviously going to find out more!
Then of course, who is the fifth cylon?? I'm theorizing right now that it's Admiral Cain, since the TV movie they're doing for the fall is going to be focused on the past of the Pegasus. Who knows!
God, it's all so FASCINATING. I don't WANT to wait, damn you Sci Fi! *shakes fist*
*flops with a happy sigh* The irony is that I didn't even really LIKE this episode too much. The pacing was kind of boring, and I didn't get REALLY excited until Lee went into his speech. It didn't really feel like a climactic finale... but what it did do is successfully poise us on the brink of an extremely exciting new direction for the entire show. So, in that sense it succeeded extremely well :)
In conclusion, KARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! *BEAMS*

Date: 2007-03-26 10:28 pm (UTC)I don't really have any BSG folks on my flist (It's all SPN, lol), so you are making up for the squeeing I am missing out on. Thank you!!
I am so excited!! I mean I love this show, and there are moments when I watch it an jump for joy out of my seat because the writing or the action or the plot was so damn amazing. And the finale...I agree...it may have been slowly paced...but the questions it left me with...argh...will haunt me for the months. When is S4 coming out?
- Good point on another hybrid baby...and my mind went directly to Sharon-One and the Chief's love affair...did they somehow recognize their "sameness" in each other??
- And what are the Cylons up to??? What is their plan?? Sam led the resistance on Old Caprica! And Tigh on New Caprica! Wow. Just wow. And what will Adama do about Tigh???
- I am so fascinated about the 4 Cylons (Shocking reveal!) How is this going to play out??? Will they feel more connected to the humans they've come to see themselves as? Or will the programming dominate somehow? (And for crying out loud who is the fifth...please not Kara...please not Kara...bites nails nervously)
My Kara is ALIVE! She's BREATHING! It feels like I got my best friend back.
You took the words out my mouth. Oh, I join your Kara love:) And yes...Karalee...please get it together...some hot, angsty, romantic reunion at the edge of the universe...
::sigh:: I am happy to have come and squeeed with you. :)
YAY! BSG love:)

Mmmmmmmmm hot angsty romantic reunion YES PLZ.

Date: 2007-03-26 11:21 pm (UTC)And I love that they left us with the same sort of feeling as last year's finale. When half of the people I saw were stunned that they'd jumped a year ahead, and the other half were sure it couldn't be real. :D I've seen a very similar spread on the cylon reveal. And it's going to be FOREVER before we find out. ::joins in on the fist shaking::
I'm also hoping it's not Kara in the fifth spot, provided they are cylons. Her and Gaius are about the only two characters that I really really don't want to see turn out to be cylons. And oddly enough they both see cylons in their heads, heh. Now, what I'd *love*, is if Billy turned out to have been the fifth cylon. Especially since he and Tory held the same job. And he's been dead for so long it'd come out of nowhere without really coming out of *nowhere*. But I don't want to get my hopes up for that. ;D

Date: 2007-03-26 11:39 pm (UTC)Yes! They have a really good talent for those OMGWHAT? kind of finales, LOL. I have the feeling that this reveal of the cylons is real - I don't see what other direction they could go with it.
I really don't want Gaius to be a cylon either, mostly because he wants to be so bad! And I don't want him to get what he wants! *laughs* That would be pretty sweet if it was Billy, but I get the sense that the actor's done with the show - not in any bad way, it just seems like there was closure. But WHO KNOWS! This is BATTLESTAR, after all! *laughs*
May I reiterate? KARAAAAAAAAA! *beams*

Date: 2007-03-26 11:59 pm (UTC)I'm on such a huge BSG high! *twirls you*
Dee just left Lee, and Kara's husband is a frakking CYLON - you do the math!
I hear ya, honey! ;-)
I understand reactions like Roslin's, but at the same time... Lee has the right of it. And how he spoke just made me flap with love for him, cause god - so eloquent.
Oh, I know! I think I just wrote 1000 words or so expounding on my love for him. It can be precis'd as: I LOVE LEE ADAMA AND I DON'T CARE WHO FRAKKING KNOWS! :-D
have the cylons finally realized that their boy cylons can be smoking hot too?
Yes! Yes, they have! And that makes me VERY VERY HAPPY. It also makes me hopeful that Kara is not a Cylon, because what would be the point of having Anders waste his charms on her? Surely he should be out there seducing some real humans. *g*
The set up for next season is so incredibly exciting and I hope this spawns lots of fun hiatus activities and fic and vids and so on. I know it's got me madly plotting vids and I'm low on the creative, so hopefully the more creative among us will be just as inspired! \o/
Kara's back!!!

Date: 2007-03-27 05:18 am (UTC)I've heard that Katee's made the guarantee that Kara's NOT a cylon, and never will be. THIS MAKES ME HAPPY.
I think next season is going to rock my socks completely off my feet. So very very exciting! \o/
