SHOW OF MY SOUL, THOU HAST RETURNED TO ME

[sophieisgod]

That was so strange. Like, the whole episode just felt like everyone was reeling from the shock of OH SHIT EARTH IS FUCKED AND POST-NUCLEAR and falling apart and it was almost disorientating. OH SHOW, I LOVE HOW YOU NEVER LET ANYBODY BE HAPPY EVER (except the Agathons! Tickling! ♥).

OHH, DUALLA. I was never a huge Dualla fan, not so much because she was the Lee/Kara obstacle but because SHE BROKE BILLY'S HEART, DAMMIT, and also should probably not have married Lee when he was obviously in love with someone else (she and Cally will definitely be having coffee mornings in the afterlife, methinks). BUT OHHH. When the previouslies were so Dee-heavy I was pre-emptively pissed off in case she was the Final, but I like this much better. In that special, BSG, rip-out-your-heart-for-no-reason way. I LOVE MY SHOW. And it was even worse because she and Lee had been so lovely together, and poor pale secretly-doing-it-with-Hoshi Gaeta (♥!) was all "you're glowing" and MEEEEEP.

KARA, KARA, KARA. Kara and Leoben, gadding about the nuked out planet and discovering her corpse, HOMG. And LOL at Leoben freaking out and running away. Douche. And Callum Keith Rennie is still looking fucking fine, I'm not even ashamed about my filthy Leoben!crush anymore. AND WHAT THE DEVIL IS GOING ON WITH KARA? Fuck it, until the canon explicitly contradicts it, she's fucking Aurora.

Right, I'm still trying to get all the Cylon backstory straight in my head. So the Five are different from the rest of the Cylons, right? And it's only the Five who came to Earth 2000 years ago. But Cylons-as-we-know-them (the other seven models) were only created about 50 years ago, during the timeframe of Caprica? BUT ALL THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AND WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. And Anders with a guitar! And Chief buying fruit in a market! Tigh and Ellen being time-and-death-defying soulmates because ELLEN IS THE FINAL, HOMG I HAD NOT EVEN CONSIDERED IT. Tigh's faaaaace when he realised. Oh you two crazy kids. I actually quite like this, although I still irrationally wish it was Gaeta. Gaeta!

AHAHAHA, I have far too many tags for this show. And this isn't even all of them!

ELLEN OMG.

i was seriously expecting it to be gaeta. especially with that website thing that uploaded something new every week or so with CLUES. and now i can't remember the website which sucks D:

I KNOW I AM SHOCKED! SHOCKED!

I avoided all sorts of spoilers/clues like the plague, but I really, really wanted it to be Gaeta. At first because I thought it would be amusing for him to be all LOL I AM THE FINAL, MY HAIR AND I WILL BE SMUG NOW, WORSHIP ME BITCHES because I love his fleeting moments of bitchery, but then LEG HOMG, AND THE SINGING, and then I started seriously hoping. Since the Dylan Four I make all sorts of crazy connections with Cylons and music, thank you Bear! So then when Dee was humming I was like OH FUCK NO DO NOT GO THERE SHOW and then... she shot herself. So.

ELLEN AND TIGH JUST BECAME A BAJILLION TIMES MORE AMAZING TO ME.

I JUST FINISHED THE EPISODE LIKE, A FEW SECONDS AGO AND I AM SO CONFUSED AND FRAKFRAKFRAKFRAK. WHAT DO I USUALLY DO WITH MY HANDS?????

AHHHHHHHHH. Okay, thoughts.

Dee's suicide... I think I figured something was up right when she took her wedding ring off. Of course we find out what happens a split second later but it was a preemptive warning. SHOW, YOU HAVE A MAGICAL WAY OF MAKING ME SAD ABOUT CHARACTER DEATHS FOR CHARACTERS I'M USUALLY NOT WILD ABOUT. (It probably had something to do with it being really in your face. Way to be harsh Ron, splattering it like that.)

(Dude, Leoben did look hot - a little p.o.ed that he ditched Kara right when she was going through that crisis.)

SO SAD THAT D'ANNA'S LEAVING. I LOVE THAT CRAZY LADY.

Besides Dee's suicide, I was really disturbed by the nuclear shadow that Tyrol left on the wall in the marketplace.

FRAKKING ELLEN. SHOW.

SINCE BSG'S BEEN GONE FOR SO LONG I KINDA SAID IN MY HEAD "OKAY EARTH IS A WASTELAND GET OOOOOOOOOVER IT ALREADY" BUT THEN I REMEMBERED THEY'D JUST REALIZED IT. AHAH. OH SHOW.

EXCEPT THE AGATHONS YES YES YES OF COURSE THEY WERE LIKE PLAYING GAMES AND THEN MOM AND DAD WENT OUT FOR SOME ALONE TIME WHILE HERA IS BLISSFULLY OBLIVIOUS ♥♥♥

GAETA TOTALLY CHECKED DUALLA OUT DID YOU SEE????!!!! AND THEN SHE SHOT HERSELF. OH GOD.

KARA ISN'T A CYLON. THIS MAKES ME REALLY REALLY REALLY RIDICULOUSLY HAPPY :D :D :D :D :D
