Abstract Acacias

I just watched ( 'Downloaded'; spoilers within )

Anyway, fascinating episode. I'm curious to see how many of my theories/questions get resolved in "Lay Down Your Burdens" (I keep wanting to call it "Lay Your Burdens Down") or the webisodes or this season's premiere.

Oh, also, there was a guy back in Athens who tried to stage a coup that completely failed. His name? was Cylon.

Of course I needed a BSG icon. And I, uh, couldn't sleep. Not because I was thinking about how I wanted this icon to look, or anything, not at all.

I couldn't put as much of "Hands" on there as I wanted — the lyrics go something like this (the CD's up in Berkeley):

These hands place us in the scandal,
What's the crime?
Crimes of the flesh,
Crimes of the mind,
Which one am I?
I tell you there are hands that hold us down
That can't be left behind.
These hands,
Two of them are mine
And the one that slips between them
Appears to draw the line
Of every broken promise
And every naked fist,
You think the past is past,
But it always comes to these,
These hands.

I wanted the "crimes of the flesh, crimes of the mind, which one am I" bit, but I decided less was more.
