Hey bb, I'm here! Just pressed play..

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

Me too. I just pressed it.

[winegums.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, miniseries flashbacks :(

And bb!Felix announcing the Cylon attacks, and Chief looking so young...

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

I love the mini.... hmm, I think that I'll rewatch it soon. for like the 1000th time

[winegums.livejournal.com]

I really like Tory here, I keep saying it but she's so cool (and I LOVE her sarcasm), like a younger version of Laura. And I like that she's a mature young woman, in contrast to Billy, who was basically an idealistic boy.

I think this is the first time we see Laura wear her hair at least partially clipped back. It looks good on her too.

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

Yes - Tory was really cool (and good at her job) before the whole FF idea which was the worst idea ever.

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

Strange for Laura to find that folder after all this time. Don't they clean up from time to time?

[winegums.livejournal.com]

Papadama is taking AGES to give that 'hold your fire!' command, Kara or Kat could have blown Bulldog away in that time.

(and Felix's 'WTF!!!!!!!!' face when he hears just where the voice is coming from and hears the order not to fire, lololol)

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

And to top off the strange now this guy appears fro nowhere.... and he looks like he just escaped from Alien or something.

[winegums.livejournal.com]

haha yes, he really does! Complete with the slime and all.

[winegums.livejournal.com]

...and now we get our first look at Kara's cleaned-up haircut, I know it's a big moment but my priority here is.....her hair.

(and I love Kat's weapons drawn stance and Kara's look of 'wtf is going on here'+suspicion, Katee is SO GOOD and I am jealous of everyone who got to go to Dragon*Con and see her)

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

I am jealous of everyone who got to go to Dragon*Con and see her)

just don't get me started on my jealousy regarding D*C. *sigh*

[winegums.livejournal.com]

Doc Cottle <3

and I like Bulldog's sarcasm too. He could have been an interesting character if they'd kept him around longer.

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

This could have gone places. some of them pretty good. but no - let's kill all the good stuff and do the strange stuff.

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

Why is D'Anna looking so strange? she's looking really really bad.

[winegums.livejournal.com]

apparently the Cylon virus is bad for your skin?

[winegums.livejournal.com]

I really like Laura and Tory here, hyper-competence and no-bullshit ♥♥♥♥

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

Poor, poor Saul. but he should stop feeling sorry for himself and do something.

[winegums.livejournal.com]

Ok, so D'Anna is Final-Five-Finding....makes sense to build towards it for the whole season/most of it, but it's such a disappointment knowing what they did with it.

At least this episode is marginally more interesting with the Cylons than most of S3 is.

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

Yes, Lee - they knew. and did practically nothing about it.

I like this scene - which is no surprise since I like most of their scenes.

[winegums.livejournal.com]

No wonder he's so extremely disillusioned with the military, but he really looks like a kicked and horrified puppy when he finds out the truth.

And you are so right, PapAdama and Lee's relationship is one of my favourites on this show, and this scene really is fantastic. Jamie's face ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[winegums.livejournal.com]

Lee looks REALLY good this episode. Well, he always looks good but he looks especially pretty in that scene where he's talking to his dad.

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

Well, he always looks good

you know - the funny thing is that he looks really good here but in a very different way from the way that he looked last week.

[winegums.livejournal.com]

I feel so bad for both Saul and Bulldog, the conversation they're having is equally applicable to both of them even though Saul only addresses it to Bulldog.

[winegums.livejournal.com]

Poor Lee, this is a rude shock for him even as he's trying to make sense of what happened.

I love how there is so much going on with him at once, and him trying to reassure PapAdama while working through his own horror has me wanting to tear up.

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

And of course Kara is the one who puts two and two together.

[winegums.livejournal.com]

She's great this episode, it's good to see her properly back in the saddle.

[winegums.livejournal.com]

Cylon baseship stuff is boring when it involves Cylons other than D'Anna this ep.

[winegums.livejournal.com]

Kara!!!!!!! I love her newly recovered fire even more than I love her sassy new haircut ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

she is really cool here. she is almost back to normal. YAY

[winegums.livejournal.com]

Poor Bulldog :(

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

this scene with Adama, Tigh and Bulldog breaks my heart in so many ways.

and now Adama wants to resign. like that's going to happen.

[winegums.livejournal.com]

I know, it hurts :/ I don't know who to feel worse for here, between Saul and Bulldog. Even Papadama, I feel bad for him :(

[winegums.livejournal.com]

Damn, Papadama's men really are everything to him, in some ways I think he had a better relationship with many of them than he did with his own kid.

No wonder he takes it so hard when he fails professionally.

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

I LOVE Laura here. it's so nice to see that she understands Adama so well.

[winegums.livejournal.com]

I know, she's a perfect statesman and politician, and it's amazing.

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

They really know how to organize a ceremony. and they all seem.... proud (?).

Well, except Adama and Lee.

[winegums.livejournal.com]

yeah, one can't help noticing. Though I think it's sweet that Laura knows and is equally proud anyway.

[winegums.livejournal.com]

Poor Bulldog, I do feel bad for him - too bad we never get to see him again after this. Though I do like this scene, and that there is at least some resolution for him and Adama here.

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

I hate when they do this. They do a story and then nothing. it's like never happened.
