darcydodoWhat did I think about the new BSG? Gosh. Well, I'll have to be brief as I should already be asleep.
I have no fucking clue what's going on, but I liked the episode a lot. As Kathy (or someone) said, Lucy Lawless has been "special guest star" for so long that you knew she'd have to disappear somehow eventually, so the boxing wasn't much of a surprise. I actually mentioned boxing back at the beginning of the episode because I thought they'd boxSharon Athena once she got resurrected, so it was cool that the concept did get pulled out and dusted off by the end.
As to Kara being One Of The Five... well, those five must have different biology from the rest of the cylons, I guess, since Kara got pretty thoroughly tested by cylon and mankind way back when, if I recall correctly. (Or at least she got carved up by the cylons when they grabbed her ovaries.) I wonder if that explains how she figured out how to fly the raider, though. Also, we know that Kara's been around humans for a long time, at least long enough to have been in training, gotten engaged to Zach, etc. It's not clear how long Boomer was around.
What do the Five have to do with the 13th colony? That's something that I just don't comprehend. The humans' holy books talk about the Eye of Jupiter, which was part of that temple/supernova complex, while the temple and Eye are also linked to the cylon "chosen one" (whatever that concept comes from). (And if D'Anna's the chosen one, what's the deal with Leoben's religious visions?) Kara's one of the Five, apparently, and she's got that image of the Eye implanted in her subconcious somehow, but we don't know why. I do love the idea that, as one of the Five, she's pretty much the Most ReligiousHuman ...umm... we've got who doesn't come from Geminon.
All right, I seem to have devolved into mostly wittering, so it's sleepy time.
