Okay, I'm a little more calm now :)
Adama & Roslin's telephone exchange at the beginning of the ep made me giggle. I wonder if she was turned on by him yelling at her. And though Anders & Tory getting together seemed out of left field, my initial "huh?" faded quickly. I think Seelix was surprised, though.
I really liked the use of "All Along the Watchtower." While not great, both versions [the Indian-style music our cylons kept hearing, and the version at the end] were done well enough. For your entertainment, I include here the lyrics to the original Bob Dylan version:
"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."
"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."
All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.
Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
As to the choice of the song, I dunno. Some of the lyrics can pretty easily be used to reflect situations on the show, but such an analysis kind of makes me think of astrology - so many possibilities and so many vaguaries that could all be significant to something. One thing I will grab & run with is the line, "But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate." Over & over we've been told this has all happened before and it will all happen again. Well, maybe this is the turn around the wheel when things change, when it won't all happen again, and the fates of these players is no longer a repeat of the same story. Heh, won't Leoban be surprised.
Compared to some of the other goings on, Baltar's not guilty verdict seems almost incidental. Lee's "testimony" clearly persuaded his father, but it left me disappointed & irritated. At the very least, I find it hard to buy that his speechifying would have been allowed in a trial. He was answering no question, addressing no specific factor in Baltar's case. He was using the stand to give the defense's closing argument, and my suspension of disbelief was stretched pretty fuckin' thin by the acquiescence of the prosecuting attorney and the judges. The verdict, otoh, was satisfactory. They only had two choices and either one could open the door to many different eventualities. I certainly liked the scene following the trial, in which Baltar parts company with his counsel. The smirks on Lee's & the attorney's faces were priceless. And now Baltar is on his way to a new life...as what? I wonder if the folks who hustled him away have anything to do with the peace-with-the-cylons group from season 2. We know some of them 'sploded when the nuke took out Cloud Nine at the end of last season, but we don't know anything about how many of them were on other ships. Unfortunately, that movement seems to be an element of the story that was dropped, even though it could have been well used this season, especially during the occupation of New Caprica.
Chief Tyrol, Saul Tigh, Roslin's aide Tory & Sam Anders all believe they are cylons. I believe it, too. I have to reiterate how cool Tigh is. His "Whoaaaa!" when he walked into the room with the others was great, and the speech he gave was his best ever. It's interesting that all four of them were active in the resistance. We have no reason to necessarily believe the final five are just like their brethren, and their differences could be pretty significant. Are they somehow guardians of the fleet, the reason the humans haven't been completely wiped out? They keep claiming the cylons have a plan, but we haven't been given much to show that - perhaps it's the final five who have the plan and it's to get the humans to Earth.
What is going on with Roslin/Athena/Caprica/Hera and their dreams? Is Hera experiencing these dreams the way the women are? What was Caprica referring to when she said that should be impossible, Hera being there? I'm guessing the Baltar that appeared in the last sequence was Caprica's head-Baltar. It seemed as though they were trying to take Hera to the final five, but why? I don't know what the hell's up with that.
Of course Starbuck is still around! It's not a long shot to guess that she's not the Starbuck we knew, and there are a few options for who that was in the viper. An intriguing idea is that Lee is a cylon and that the Starbuck who returned is in fact in his head. I loved that we actually saw Earth at the end of this ep. Of course, nothing's as simple as it looks, so at the least Starbuck's knowledge of how to get to Earth is anything but straightforward.
Regarding that two-hour special SciFi announced for the end of this year, Ron Moore said in an interview with Salon that it'll be about the Pegasus, before it met up with the Galactica. He doesn't say anything about Michelle Forbes [the actor who played Admiral Cain], but he does mention Cain, so I'm hoping we see her again. Though it'll be set in the past, he says the story will have relevance to season 4. Which brings me to an observation about believing anything anyone associated with the show says - we were told unequivocally multiple times that Katee Sackhoff would not be appearing in the last three episodes of season 3, and yet there she was. Liars.
There are other things floating around in my head, but they're going to stay there for now. I will end this ramble with a fantastic thing someone on the SciFi message board posted: "If I were a rich man I'd buy every cast and crew person a hooker!"
Fuck yeah!

Thus endeth BSG season 3
Holy shit.
Holy frakkin' shit. During the ep, I was making mental notes in anticipation of this post, working out my analysis and brilliant observations. Then it ended and all I could do was squeal.
Holy frakkin' shit.
As soon as the bogey showed up on Apollo's DRADIS, I knew it was our girl. Man, am I glad to see her!
A friend of mine, far more brilliant than I, suggested that the cylon fleet that just turned up on the humans' doorstep is in fact not the fleet that's been following them all this time, but rather the final five's fleet. We know they're somewhere, and we know the other seven don't talk about them. It's entirely possible we'll be meeting them pretty early in the next season. I like that idea, that would make me happy.
Saul, poor Saul. He spends the entire season trying to find his footing, only to get his whole world knocked out from under him. And finally he "remembers" who he is - Saul Tigh, officer in the Colonial Fleet. It took finding out he's a cylon to wake him up.
So, now we have confirmation of four of the final five. Who's the fifth?
And speaking of those other four, the Chief being revealed as a cylon means that there's another human-cylon hybrid that no one knows about [assuming, of course, that Cally's not a cylon as well].
All right, I'm going to have to watch this ep a couple more times before I can spew out anything else.

More BSG than ever before!
...just not for awhile.
So, the SciFi channel has announced that not only will BSG get a fourth season, but that it will contain 22 episodes, up from the usual 20 in a cable season. It sounds, though, like the regular season will still contain 20 eps, and sometime in the fourth quarter of this year, they'll kick off season 4 with a two-hour BSG special, which will later be released on DVD. I wonder if the two-hour special will include significant story content, or if it'll be more like the 10 "webisodes" SciFi produced between seasons 2 & 3. A little bit of background, but mostly filler to whet the fans' appetites.

The shit is seriously starting to go down
Whoa, a BSG of revelations. Gaius Baltar, the last of humanity's faith healers [wtf?!], is finally on trial and so far Tigh & Roslin have both been indicted, but no one's pinned anything on Baltar. Roslin's all hopped up on goofballs because her cancer has returned, while her aide looks seriously strung out. Lee told his dad, in no uncertain terms, to go suck an uptight, paternalistic, dictator-lovin' egg, and Dee told Lee sayonara.
The trial scenes were rough. Tigh's testimony hurt to watch, but seeing him appear to crack in the last scene of the ep ["...it's in the frakkin' ship!"] was the worst. He's so utterly flawed, broken even, which perhaps contributes significantly to making him a character I really like. He spent the first two seasons pretty fucked up though adequately functional, but season three has seen what little stability he had kicked out from under him, and the resultant damage to his already injured psyche.
So, Roslin is the dying leader who will show them the way to Earth after all. It's nice that we've come back around to that. Hopefully, this will accelerate her relationship with Adama. Tigh, Anders & Tory were the only people hearing the music, so clearly they're among the final five [this week].
Of course, I enjoyed the brief soft core scene, wherein Tigh & Caprica slugged each other. She generally doesn't do much for me but I'm definitely a fan of Tigh, and watching them hit each other was hot. It was also a pleasure to see Baltar-in-her-head make an appearance.
Next week's episode, the season three finale, will probably wrap up a thing or two, but it's a safe bet that we'll be left with a lot more questions than answers. I think the only thing we can count on for sure is a hell of a cliffhanger.

More of what I expect from BSG
Now this was some good Battlestar Galactica.
Perhaps we'll actually see a trial before season's end, with many delicious twists & turns. Will the season-ending cliffhanger involve Apollo turning fully to the dark side, and sincerely working to defend Baltar? Who knows what kind of crazy shit his grief might drive him to. And speaking of crazy shit, Baltar seems considerably more frazzled than he was before. Maybe the closer he gets to his trial, the less likely he thinks it is that he'll avoid being put out an airlock, and we all know Baltar can get a little spazzy when the heat is on.
Baltar's new attorney* is a real charmer. It's hard to know what his game is, but he certainly plays by his own rules. I feel as though I was suckered by him as much as Apollo was, because I like him and look forward to seeing him in the next couple eps.
I frowned during the opening credits, when Katee Sackhoff's name failed to appear, and I almost cried with Adama when he was going through Starbuck's file. Nope, I refuse to accept that she's gone. She has a destiny, and though we'll have to wait a good long while, I believe we are going to find out what it is.
Okay, Cally has gone from being merely expendable to actually irritating and unlikeable. I never thought she was the sharpest stick in the pile of sticks, but it seems like she's been taking stupid pills when it comes to Baltar. Has she forgotten what it was like on New Caprica? Maybe she remembers it was Jammer who tried to save her ass after Baltar signed off on her [and many, many others'] execution, and she's hoping to atone for her complicity in his death by defending Baltar & his right to a trial. Or maybe she's just a dumbass.
Two more episodes before an eight month break, and I suspect they're going to be pretty fuckin' intense. Well, aaall right :)
*played by Mark Sheppard, who's done guest spots on a number of scifi shows. Hep geeks will recognize him from a couple eps of Firefly, in which he played the dirty middleman, Badger.

Chapter 18, in which Linderman is finally revealed
And he's played by one of my favourite actors of all time, Malcolm McDowell! I'm not sure what I first saw him in, probably A Clockwork Orange, but I've been crazy about him for over 25 years now and it tickles me to see him on a show I like so much.
So, things have certainly gotten interesting, and still more convoluted.
It looks as though Mr. Bennet is seriously compromised, which is unfortunate, but at least his employer still doesn't know where Claire is [as far as we know...]. As Bennet's story has unfolded and his motivations clarified, he's become one of my favourite characters. The past few eps have really reinforced that, so it was particularly painful to watch his "wife" transform into his new co-worker, the super annoying Candice.
Claire's choice to ditch the Haitian and seek out Peter Petrelli had me concerned, and it was definitely a surprise to find Mama Petrelli at Peter's place waiting for Claire - with the Haitian. Methinks mom knows much more than she's let on thus far.
Poor Mohinder, he gets a brief moment of being more interesting than watching paint dry, then the moment fades. And while I'll accept it if Sylar actually manages to kill Peter, I will also find it unlikely & irritating. This is exactly the type of situation in which Peter can successfully tap into his vast array of acquired powers, with his life in immediate danger. A face-off between him & Sylar has the potential to be as totally awesome as the fight between Yoda & Dooku should have been.
It's a little hard for me to believe that DL caught on to Jessica before Micah did. But, the more interesting part of that storyline is Niki asserting herself, and that we actually got to see Jessica exhibit something other than cold confidence. Jessica/Niki has been kind of dull since the second half of the season started, so this injects some much-needed intrigue into their story.
Hiro finally got his sword! I was so happy to see that Ando rejected Hiro's insistence that he go back to Japan and instead stuck around & rescued him. Now, let's hope the sword can still help Hiro save the world, because things are looking pretty grim in the future he & Ando jumped to.
And lastly, we don't get a new ep 'til April 23, though there are five more eps left in season 1. More pleasantly, NBC has confirmed Heroes is getting a second season, so I guess I can be patient while awaiting the continuation of the current season.

You are dead to me, Ron Moore
Wow, this last episode ["Maelstrom"] really got some fans' undies in a bunch. For those interested in adventuring through some of the messageboards, expect the usual mb fare, plus a lot of histrionics from people who've been personally betrayed by Ron Moore and will never watch BSG or anything on the SciFi channel again. Heh. The cool thing, though, is that the strong fan reaction has resulted in some really interesting ideas about what's up next for Starbuck [if anything].
So, what's happening in the real world? Though she's got a contract with NBC Universal [owner of the SciFi channel], Katee Sackhoff is busy as shit these days. She's recently done voiceover work for Robot Chicken, just finished a pilot for NBC, is working on a Lifetime movie, just did voiceover work for a video game, as well as a handful of other projects. She also stated in an interview earlier this week that she does not know when she'll be returning to Vancouver [where BSG is shot], and would not say whether or not she'll actually be returning for season 4, due to start shooting this summer.
The gist of it is, the producers have sent numerous mixed messages about Kara Thrace's fate, distinctions have been made between Thrace & Starbuck [a la Sharon/Boomer/Athena], and no one involved in the show is willing to make any definitive statements about what to expect regarding the future of Sackhoff's character.
Oh no, you mean we have to watch the show to find out what happens?!
For my own part, I'm excited by the prospect of going to DragonCon, as it falls between the start of shooting season 4 during the summer and the airing of season 4 in January. That oughta make for some interesting panel discussions, wherein the fans actually find out nothing at all about what's coming in January :)

The kind of BSG I like
Holy crap.
Okay, the upshot is that Starbuck is "dead," but only for the moment. She'll be back, but the buzz is that she is not in the remaining three eps of this season. On a nicer note, BSG has been confirmed for a fourth season [due January '08], so that better be when we get a continuation of Starbuck's story. The first obvious guess is that she's a cylon. In fact, the Leoban in her vision told her he was there to help her "discover what hovers in the space between life and death," a distincly cylon locale. However, the more I think about it, the less satisfying that is. There are too many little things that make her being a cylon unlikely.
While it is possible she's simply dead, I reject that notion in the face of two & a half years of being told she has a destiny. Surely her destiny isn't to go crackers, attend a vision of her mother's last moments, then fly her viper into a gas giant atmosphere never to be heard from again.
Ah hell, maybe Starbuck's neither dead nor "dead" - she did have her hand on the eject lever. She ejected in the nick of time and the raider she kept seeing actually was there, and it picked her up. Next time we see her she'll be sharing a pad on a basestar with Leoban, maybe even finding out what was done to her back in season 1 on the farm.
If she's a cylon, do any of the other cylons know it? Does Leoban know? Perhaps Mama Thrace knew she was raising a cylon and that's why she told Kara she was special, and why she was so mean to her. Or maybe Kara's only half cylon; perhaps her daddy was a cylon, and Hera's not actually the first cylon-human hybrid. I did think it was interesting that Helo mentioned Hera is seeing a psychiatrist, and maybe Kara will want to as well [not that Helo would know anything about Kara's cylon status, but who knows].
On a much lighter note, it was nice to see Adama & Roslin hanging together. In the scene where Kara runs into them the hallway, there was a brief moment when they were turning to walk away and he had his hand on her back. They're so cute.

An explosive Heroes
What a bad ass episode! It's been a little while since I've said anything about Heroes; the past few eps haven't been bad, but they haven't been especially noteworthy either. This week was altogether something else. The shit really went down in the Bennet household and secrets are coming out. We got so much background on Mr. Bennet, yet we still know nothing about the aims of his employer. I loved finding out Claude was his partner, and how Claude's departure from his company came about.
I'm so glad I was wrong about not seeing George Takei's character again :) I guess my first guess was right, that he's a colleague of Linderman's. Heh, and I thought I was being facetious. This bodes well for another appearance by Takei, and adds another datapoint to the interconnectedness of all these characters.
Parkman is definitely getting more interesting. Maybe now he'll finally get to do something. Ted's freakout was very excellent, and now, bless his vengeful heart, Ted is contained. But I wonder, didn't everyone who was in the house get exposed to ridiculously high doses of radiation? Everyone but Claire should be pretty near death, if I'm to trust my scifi-garnered knowlege of close contact with radiation sources.
So, Mohinder is Sylar's unwitting accomplice, and Parkman is looking like Bennet's new freak partner. Where are Claire & the Haitian headed? This ep reminded me that I've wondered what the Haitian's deal was with not letting anyone know he can talk until Claire.
