I'm so glad I have someone to squee over BSG with!
Hee, me too!
OMG scary!bad!hair . . . I really wish they would just cast younger actors with a resemblance to the principles when flashbacks like this are done.
I so agree. Especially when the actors in question are older and flashing back so far makes it highly unlikely they'd look so craggy ;)
Yeah, it's gotten a bit maudlin, hasn't it? It's starting to sound like Xena singing at a funeral, but maybe that's laying the groundwork for the upcoming episode that Lucy Lawless will be in. ;-P
*snickers* Evidently this music is the UK version. I have to say I like the US music better, and the longer credits. They were just beautiful and I'm sorry to see them go.
Up until this episode, Tyrol just kind of annoyed me by being a stooge for Cylon!Boomer. But I was really impressed with his action here, even though tactically he allowed his little squad to blunder in oh-so-many ways at the crash site (sometimes being a hardcore wargamer just makes one throw things at the TV screen).
Tyrol is my new TV boyfriend. It's nice that even not being a "main character" doesn't keep them from giving him screen time.
Tigh has been a favorite character of mine from the beginning. I like how they are showing his character development by forcing him to look inside himself and flounder for a path during ever-escalating turmoil. He is being set up against a lot of strong characters like Roslyn, Starbuck and it will be interesting to see how things play out.
*nods* I'm very impressed with how well they're fleshing out even the recurring characters. You don't normally get this kind of complexity.
I'm looking forward to next week's Cylon shoot-em-up.
Ditto to that! So glad we get a full season this time, too. With their willingness to fill an episode with character-driven plot instead of the other way round, they'll have no trouble at all going at least several seasons.
Mm, I need more BSG icons. Plenty of room to fill up with the pretty.
