DPP: Confession





Monday of us who confessed to not liking Maelstrom, despite it being a Kara-centric episode. So I was wondering what other deep dark confessions we have.

I’ll go first. I find Scar absolutely painful to watch with exception of the scene where she and Lee drink alone together and when they make out. I cried the first time I watched Kara in the film room and have only made it half way through that scene since.

Now it’s your turn…

I agree with you about Roslin; I thought it was a really good study of the journey someone goes through under such conditions, making those kinds of choices. Adama had already been through the trial-by-fire and had settled his leadership style long ago, and so much of their headbutting to begin with has to do with Roslin only just beginning that trial. By the time she's been through as much as he has, they're pretty simpatico. And in love, but that's by-the-by.

To me, Baltar got more interesting the longer he went on, like ... how much more weaselly can he get? But I ended up liking that about him, that he was a survivor without being a fighter. I think because the rest of the real "survivor" types are all also fighters, in one way or another, we hold it against him that he isn't and that his method of survival is so radically unethical and passive. And looking at it from the survival perspective, he was right, because if he'd tried to be a fighter he would have probably died.
