He's Not Going to Choose a Cylon Over His Son
This week has really been...hectic for me, so y'all get a nice little treat. Two posts!
Favorite quotes:
"It's hard, you know...to choose the people that we fall in love with, to love only one person at a time. People like us, we're more complicated." -Ellen
"Us?" -Lee
"You got a plan?" -Gunny
"Lock and load, we'll figure out the rest as we go along." -Starbuck (BIG character statement)
Of course, the title of this post...
"It's his son, he's not gonna choose a Cylon over his son."
"People look for complicated answers, when something goes terribly wrong." -Admiral Adama (While he was actually wrong about this, it's still a good line.)
"What if the terrorists are right?" -Tigh (RDM's political statement, need I say more?)
While I think it is highly possible that Ellen is a red herring, there still are these little quirky things...for instance, she kept telling them to turn over and kill Sharon, the rogue Cylon, who all the "good" Cylons don't like.
When Starbuck came out of the bar, thinking she has killed Lee, my mind jumped right to Zach. How hard on the conscience would it be to have practically murdered one son of your commanding officer (and father-figure), then to think you had murdered the other? To feel the weight of killing your best friend? In the episode just before this, Starbuck decides she has something to live for, she has hope. Then, this incedent comes crushing it all. the suffering these people go through is so extreme, but so close to us, so very real....touching.
They don't want to make deals with terrorists and invite terrorism into the fleet. One has to wonder--what is going to happen with the nuclear warhead?
This final scene in the bar is very emotional, everyone clutching the one they love--"Everyone's got someone they love." The acting in that 15 seconds before they cut to Galactica was beautiful. The President's final moments in front of Billy were wonderfully done.
Role reversal at the end, with Dualla at the bedside of Lee, Starbuck in the shadows; I suppose Dualla can offer what he really needs, where Starbuck cannot. That is one messed up love decagon.
I love the end shot of Boomer's "good cheek". That gave me a chuckle.
Final thought: When Billy finally becomes a man....blam. He's dead. He didn't even need to die. What a crap world to live in.

You're going to be so glad you were spoiler free for the last four episodes of the season. I should tell you that the finale is a 90 minute episode, so remember that when you set your taping up.
