Nice Suit, Lee

3x 19 Crossroads, Part One

They must have some pretty rockin’ tailor in the fleet. Anyway, how could I concentrate on Lee’s awesome suit when this is the second to last episode of the season? We’ve been building up to this point all season, and piles and piles of questions left to be answered in the final 42 mins of Season 3. I’m guessing it’s going to be one hell of a cliffhanger. And of course, we won’t see BSG until next year or so. This is the time when I wish they didn’t waste all the episodes on filler materials such as the Chief’s union thing, Helo’s racial discrimination thing, and Lee and Starbuck’s affair thing. That’s three episodes right there. Not to mention last week’s, which wasn’t bad, but wasn’t great either. We wasted half the episode on Baltar’s lawyer, for fuck’s sake. Not that he’s not a cool guy or anything. I just wish we could’ve seen some progress in the people we already know, and all the hanging questions.

So, Laura’s sick again. Oh no! Maybe I was spoiler free for this, but I really had no idea and was muchos surprised.

It does fit with all the previous storylines:- the whole setup of the scriptures and why all those religious freaks like Roslin was because she was supposedly the (namely sick) leader who will lead them to Earth. Ever since she was cured by Hera, Roslin no longer fit the description. But voila – she’s back as your cancer ridden president. Pure heartbreak from that one line – “Please don’t do this” to Lee – I’ve always liked their relationship; he was the first person of the military to give a shit about her and her presidency, and now Captain Apollo no more, but Mr. Adama. Certainly doesn’t have the same ring to it. I still don’t buy Lee’s sudden interest on Caprican Law. It feels forced, and as I’ve said on last episode, it’s just to force the Adama vs. Adama thing. But Dee gets a point on finally leaving her husband. (Though out of EVERYTHING he’s done, Dee decides the worst thing is he revealed Roslin’s secret? I didn’t know Dee was so close with Laura. Heh.)

Btw, how funny was Laura, telling Tory to comb her hair? We haven’t seen Tory in a while, and I think I agree with Laura. Why’s she so unnerved all of a sudden? It’s nice to see Tigh still reeling from the loss murder of Ellen, since we haven’t been seeing much of Tigh. I love that Tigh was the one to talk with Six, and the slapfight they had. So what’s with the I killed my wife music emitting from inside the walls? Given that Tigh, Anders and Tory (what’s with the long glances?) all heard them. What does that mean? Are they all Cylons? Heh. Frak.

And speaking of the Cylons, they’re back! At least we know now that the Cylons have been following the fleet, albeit less closely, but WAY more in numbers. What are they planning to do this time around? I’m wondering who the Cylons ‘leaders’ are now. With Three boxed and Six on the Galactica, it makes for a strange inner circle:- we have Boomer, still pissed off at the humans, Cylons, and now Hera, Leoben with his strange ties to Starbuck, Brother Cavell, and Kevin Spacey. Doesn’t look like they’re going to give the humans a hug, that’s for sure. And though that doctor Simon seems to deal with nin military things, I find it annoying that we never see him or his copies at all on the base stars. But yes, the Cylons ARE back. I hope it means some fantastic fight scenes and showdown next episode. This half season have been pretty action free, and I’m ready to see some ass kicking action.

Finally the trippy dream sequence. It’s already established that both Laura and Sharon are incredibly concerned with baby Hera, though from this dream sequence it would appear they come from different directions. Anyway.
