BSG Episode 10

[woodface]

Wow, I adored this episode. It did so much good for Apollo and Starbuck. Heh, finally boywonder gets to get out of Starbuck's shadow. Loved the scene with his father.

I also adore the Adama/Starbuck scenes. I love the relationship they have going on. That scene in the gym with her knee was awesome. Poor Kara, forced to stand by and watch. But dude, if she comes up with a plan, she comes up with a plan. I really thought they were toast right there (and don't you just love how dark they let this show get?). But then everything turns around and you get a very Star Wars like theme and everyone is celebrating. (Dude, Apollo with a cigar on flight deck, Julie I should have kept that piece in my fic! *huffs*)

Hee hee, Roslin/Starbuck was cute too. I get the impression Roslin and Adama should just adopt Kara. Frack, that girl is hot. Really really really loved the gym scene. So very good.

Heh and I like Carpica!Boomer better than Galactica!Boomer. Poor Helo, though. Also, I kinda like Cally/Apollo now. Heh. They'd be so cute. I really do like Cally. The girl has guts and is shy in other ways. So me in favour.

In short; lovely episode. Growing for Apollo and Starbuck. A lot of hope at the end of it. Weird because at one point I was thinking "Shit, this show is as dark as Space: Above and Beyond" (which is saying something) and then it has this ending full of hope and happiness.

*pats pretty new fandom*

I liked this episode, even though someone else on my flist didn't. I thought that it was very character building for Apollo particularly - and also for Starbuck as she has to learn that she can't always be involved.

I know! I have for a while!

Isn't she enlisted?

Funny that, isn't it?

This episode kicked serious ass. I'm glad Starbuck is out of the box! I really thought they were screwed right there.

Hmmmmm, she's an engineer yeah. So?

she's an engineer yeah. So?

Wouldn't that be the same thing as the Sharon/Tyrol relationship that Adama put a stop to?

[woodface]

Not exactly. They're not in the same chain of command. Lee reports to Tigh and Adama. Cally reports to Tyrol.

[chiroho.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's the chain of command that's an issue. Is that one is an officer, and one is enlisted. That was the problem with Sharon/Tyrol.

[woodface]

Hmmmm, perhaps but Tigh did stress that Tyrol was a junior officer to Sharon. Adama seemed to only care because it effected Tyrol's work.

[chiroho.livejournal.com]

I thought it was because he was enlisted and she was an officer. [shrug] I guess I'll just have to go back and look sometime, won't I? ;)

[woodface]

Perhaps, didn't realise there was a difference.

[woodface]

Btw, I have been thinking about regulations there. There seems to be a frat rule that was being ignored for years now (look at Kara and Zak). Tigh suddenly seemed to think it was of importance again (and he was proven right). I'm however not sure how far Adama would go to reinforce it.

[chiroho.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there is a question of how far people will go with enforcing the rule. I think Adama was basically ignoring the rule when Galactica was about to be decommissioned. Now that they're at war, he's tightening up on all the rules.

And you'll notice that he did throw that engineer in the brig for lying, even though Adama probably knew the truth. I can't imagine he'd have done that before the war.

[woodface]

He threw him in the brig because they needed a public scapegoat and he could not afford to lose Tyrol on his ship. I doubt he will throw any of his viper pilots in the brig. He'd probably come up with alternative punishments but fact remains that they NEED the pilots.

Frack, they need everyone they have and I don't think he can afford to keep too many people locked up and unproductive at this point.
