Watched BSG. I am emotionally exhausted. The episode put me through the ringer. I’m left with more questions than answers. I think I spent most of the episode slack jawed and on the verge of tears. It was incredibly intense and mindfuckingly brilliant.
The revelation of the fifth Cylon was a little anti-climatic given the teases about the events on “Earth.” I care about the fifth. I do, but I wasn’t surprised. I mean she’s dead. Tigh killed her. Did Cavil know on New Caprica? What exactly does that crazy Cylon fucker know? Anyhow, I am not sure this was the real Earth the Original 13th tribe left. It might have been Earth 2. Given that the remains were Cylon origin leads me to think everyone’s a Cylon and history is repeating itself. All this has happened before and it will happen again. This better not be Bobby Ewing in the mutha fucking shower. That’s all I’m saying.
I was on the edge of my seat during Adama and Tigh’s scene. That was so gripping! Tigh just broke it down to Bill. “Dude you are NOT going to shoot yourself in the head, and I’m not going to do that shit for you.” The sense of desperation and lost hope was well done. They came all that way to find “earth” is a clausterfuck. Now what do they do? They can’t go back to Caprica. It’s obliterated, like “Earth.”
Ok, what was with the KFC Big Frakkin Bag of Chicken commercial after the Dee’s suicide? It was such an intense moment; the commercial was very surreal. It screams “Hey! Have some Kentucky Frakkin Chicken before you put a bullet in your head. It’s the ultimate Frak Pack.” I already have a Big Frakkin Bag. It was one of the most coveted bags at this year’s Comicon. The line for those bags at the Sci-Fi booth was cut throat. I nearly had to kill someone to get it. As soon as I scored one, I put it in my Warner Bros Supernatural/Smallville bag which was so gigantic, it doubled as a sleeping bag for some. Ok, I know fighting over a bag is ridiculous in any other setting, but this is Comicon. It’s dog eat dog to get freebies, entrances into celebrity filled panels especially the dreaded Hall H, and a simple cup of coffee. I can’t wait to do it all over again this year! *g*
The preview for next week looks equally intense. I love this show. Love it!
I gotta go discuss theories on the Skiffy Boards….

omg BSG was so depressing and good. disapppointed by the 5th cylon but i think there is still something going on with that
true. It just can’t be Ellen.
I cracked when Leoben walked away from Kara as if to say this is too much even for me! So many good moments in this episode.
I’m there with you on Cylon #5
Finding out Ellen was the fifth really was a meh moment. I had a feeling they were going to have it be her, but I was kinda hoping it would have been Dee or Gaeta or outside shot, Cat. Dee’s suicide was eerie and so startling to me as I’ve known 2 people who committed suicide. I hated that they went to commercial right away. They should have gone to break after the scene with Lee.
And then Starbuck finding her dead self? OMG. It was a real play on the Count Ibli story from the original when Apollo is killed and brought back to life to lead the fleet to Earth with coordinates given him by the beings who brought him back.
I keep wondering if this is the real Earth or someplace called Terra like in the original series when they had the fleet stumble upon remnants of the 13th tribe who settled a place called Terra. They’ve twisted and reworked so many things from the original it would be just like David and Ron to do this to us. Though I caught an interview with EJO and he said that the ending was very dark and would be hard to watch.
I am addicted and can;t wait until next week’s mind bender.
Hugs,

Re: I’m there with you on Cylon #5
oh Kat as the 5th Cylon woulda rocked. Loved her. I can’t believe it’s just Ellen. How do the final 5 resurrect? I suppose that’s the magic question since EVERYONE seems to have come back from the dead.
Kara finding her dead self and then Leoben walking away was poignant as if to say “This shit is too much even or me. I’m out.” I was like ‘what now?’ o.O
I’m a huge Leoben/Kara shipper. Their love is completely dysfunctional! *sigh*
Why does the ending teaser not surprise me. Ron and David like to mindfuck us with this show. I mean I had to watch porn to escape from BSG which fraked with my head. LOL
