castaliaWell, that was another gorgeous episode in terms of visuals, but if ever a series was frustrating when it comes to posing more questions than it answers, BSG is that series. Argh.
Glad to see Starbuck is not a total toasty critter, but I'm sure she'll be going stir-crazy until her hands heal. Still not sure what I think about the whole "destiny" thing, but I'll wait and see on that.
Helo shooting Sharon was rather visceral and I wasn't really expecting it. They were never my favorite pairing, but I've come to like them quite a bit. Very happy they got the baby back, though why Caprica Six came along, I don't know.
I'm extremely sad to be losing Lucy Lawless as a guest star. Very bummed that Brother Cavill switched her off before she could tell anyone what she saw. That character had come a long way and there's still so much potential there, but unless there's a way to get out of having an entire model "boxed", I don't suppose we'll see her again.
Speaking of all that, I wanted so much for them to show us a face. Just one face among those shiny white people in robes. I'd wager a guess that at least one is someone we've seen before - just who would D'Anna have reason to apologize to, and for what? Give! Surely they'll have to reveal at least one of the final five before this season is out? We haven't had a reveal since Cavill last season, so we're long past due.
Query: To change the subject completely, why was there all that fuss back in 1st season about Boomer and the Chief being an item? They cited all those regulations, sure, but no one seems to mind that the Chief married Cally instead. Cally, who was and as far as I call tell is still his direct subordinate. To me, that's a much more problematic chain of command issue. They seem to be working okay together in the field, and she's not calling him sir or anything, but it's still weird.
Tangent to that line of thought, it was interesting to see Boomer so bitter. I'm sure she's jealous of the position Sharon holds now, and to top it off she's done a 180 since her failed attempt at peace on New Caprica. Poor Boomer. She's probably had it the roughest of the characters.
Next week looks abysmal, but maybe they won't mangle it too badly. Here's hoping.
