I finally feel like watching this again, I had to space it out with other stuff lol.
I think I'll be wrapping up Season 2 tonight!
|
I remember really liking these next couple of episodes, and I also really love the tone shift for S3. |

Lay Down Your Burdens (Part 1 & 2)
Alright, I watched this yesterday night. Time for some thoughts.
So first off, I love the background score of the introduction scene. Sets the tone. Baltar's Head Six welcomes me back with open arms from my BSG absence by drilling God and fate into my head, ensuring me that every single plot thread has been planned out in advance in greatest detail lol. I think I get it. God is a metaphor for Ronald D. Moore, the creater of the show. Yes yes, we get it.
Chief Tyrol has a nightmare and is using Cally's face as a punching bag. JEEESUS! Curb your domestic abuse!
Brother Cavil joins the fray, his presence in the show is a breath of fresh air tbh. So the person most critical of fate and religion turns out to be a priest lmao. Anyway, seems like the plan that the Cylons had for all this time changed. Sorry guys, annihilating most of the human race was mistake lol.
I kinda feel like the decision to settle on New Caprica instead of chasing after an Earth somewhere far off makes sense. At least for a breather, a return to normalcy. The show is making it clear to us it's a mistake though. The planet is habitable, but it's not a paradise.
Also, poor Helo. Relationship problems. Sharon is shutting him out. They just killed her baby so I guess Helo doesn't mean anything to her anymore? OUCH! Kara is also extremely rude and disrespectful to Lee, making fun of his relationship with Dee. Sounds kinda bad.
Roslin tries to steal the election? Bad Roslin. I feel like there's an unintentional 2016 election parallel in here somewhere, but maybe it's just my bias. Also, BOOM goes Cloud 9.
"I don't have to listen. I'm the President."
WOOOOW LOL. What a quote. Baltar's a great leader, I can't see how this can go wrong lmao. Love the self portrait he has of himself. Jesus lol, this guy is hilariously arrogant and self-absorbed.
The episode ends with the Cylons showing up and taking over. Daaaaamn Baltar, you fucked up. All hail our new Cylon overlords!

I keep meaning to do another watch through of this.
My general thoughts from when I first watched it, I will spoiler tag (but I'm not spoiling any actual content or plot, just EMOTIONS and about how the ending made me feel and stuff):
|
Almost everybody who watched all of BSG will talk about how much the ending sucked. They'll draw a comparison to Lost about how it was a constant hyped up show full of mystery leading to...what it led to.
I didn't like the ending of the show one bit. But to me, this was not about the ending. It was very much about the journey. And the journey here was absolutely magnificent.
It helped a lot that I watched this show during an incredible difficult period of my life. I was pretty much going through a mental breakdown at the time, and I'd basically shut off from society (was unemployed and barely got up to get out of bed most days).
This show legitimately helped me. Watching each episode kept me going and I felt really intertwined with the journey of this group of people. And there was nothing like Adama's teachings to get me by. I felt like he was schooling ME sometimes (:
The characters are fantastic and I still remember them all to this day. Bear McCreary's soundtrack is one of the best I've heard, and I still have Wander My Friends on regular rotation.
I really felt a deep emotional connection to the crew and their plight. THe ending was largely an unsatisfying resolution for the most part. But endings rarely ever satisfy. I got to watch and grow along with these guys. And it's honestly one of the best character driven shows I think I've seen.
So say we all! |
