i’ve just been mindfracked! in a good way. i mean i heard many times how good battlestar galactica is. so finally was able to find a copy and have just finished watching seasons 1-3.
gah.
can’t get the season3 ending from my head.
for those of you who haven’t watched battlestar galactica but are curious and want to watch it, here’s a short plot summary:
many years ago, humans created machines called cylons. the cylons rebelled and there was a war. the war ended and the cylons disappeared. but not for long. in the years of peace, the cylons evolve and can now look, feel, and act like humans. there are 12 humanoid cylon models and most of them are placed as agents in human colonies. One such agent (known as Caprica Six) seduces Dr. Gaius Baltar into trusting her which allows the Cylons to invade the 12 Human Colonies and destroy them. Around 40+ thousand humans are able to survive the genocide and escape into space. Under the leadership of former-schoolteacher-turned-president Laura Roslin and Battlestar Galactica Commander William Adama, they travel through space looking for the lost planet Earth while trying to avoid the Cylons that continue to pursue them.
okay, now i just have to get this off my chest so i’m warning you. SPOILERS AHEAD. which you probably won’t be able to understand anyway, if you don’t watch the show.
i’m so happy that i guessed right, that Colonel Tigh was one of the last remaining Cylon models. I don’t know why I thought he was Cylon. it’s just that when D’Anna Biers apologized to one of the five then-faceless Cylons, I thought it’s gotta be someone in some high position, namely President Roslin, Admiral Adama or Colonel Tigh. And I thought, it can’t be Roslin because she had Cancer. It can’t be Adama because he has children and if he were Cylon then his children would be hybrids thus knocking Hera off the list as 1st Human-Cylon child. So it had to be Tigh. Or Dr Cottle. Or Tigh.
What i didn’t expect was Anders, Tory and Chief Tyrol. How amazing is it the two main leaders of the Cylon resistance in New Caprica (Anders and Tyrol) are actually Cylons? Or that the guy who hates the Cylons the most (Colonel Tigh) would be a Cylon himself? Only the BSG writers would be so fracked-up to think that. I mean, my jaw just dropped. I should have seen it coming (since they were the only people who could hear the weird music. i love the song they used, Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower.” it gave me goosebumps) but my jaw dropped nonetheless.
Or…they may not be Cylons and instead were rigged to think they were Cylons (after all, they were all in New Caprica and were held in detention cells were the Cylons could have easily played with their brains and all…) But that would be too complicated, especially since next season is the last season and therefore i choose to believe that they are Cylons.
and i knew starbuck would still be alive (duh. it’s been said over and over again that she’s has a “destiny” so it’s safe to say that her destiny is not to die for some unknown reason like she supposedly did in that episode.)
Ah well. it’ll be a long wait till the 4th and last Season comes around in 2008. gosh so excited.
and before i go, here are some…
…rants: I absolutely positively hate Cally Tyrol. HATE her. i don’t think i’ve ever hated any tv character as much as i hate her. i keep on wishing that they’d kill her off so i don’t have to watch her anymore because she irritates me. She irritates me more than Gaius Baltar does, and you must admit, Gaius Baltar is an irritating cockroach of a man.
…raves: is it just me, or does Laura Roslin and William Adama make the cutest TV couple ever? Oh, i want them to just run away and live happily-ever-after. i thought i’d be a Lee-Kara shipper or a Sharon-Helo shipper but I must admit, I get tingly inside whenever Roslin and Adama share a moment.
…other reasons why my jaw is still on the floor: Jamie Bamber as Lee “Apollo” Adama
oh greek gods above. hotness. and you should see him without his shirt on.
