Crossroads p.1

[lizardbeth]

- that opera house/theater sure is PURTY.

- new credit sequence, interesting

- Sam really is a nugget? BWAHAHAHA! Still not gonna fit all that in a Viper cockpit, no matter how much he might want to. But hi, Seelix. (so does this mean Sam had to sit an exam and an interview like she did? Because that I want to see..."yes, I really want to be a pilot. Why? because... See the Tattoo? TAKE A FRAKKIN GUESS, MORON!")

- that prosecutor chick is rocking so far. (I should point out that while training makes me able to see both sides, I have a professional bias for "the People", so it's not surprising at all that I think this! *g*) But she's prosecutorial -- not a grandstander like the defense gets to be.

- messiah!Baltar. "Mind how you go". *chortle*

- Caprica whacked Tigh! hee.

- Tigh could've pointed at Sam at the person who 'ordered' her death, since he basically did, but he didn't. But oh Saul, you should've shut up after you said you killed her.

- oo, civilian!Lee. Lee in a tie cracks me up. This is the 'turning against Laura' bit from the spoilers obviously. And why Dee leaves him. But since there are others who saw the death warrant attacking her credibility here isn't going to do a lot of good. If the Six on Caprica thing were going to be brought in, yes, but this? only in a very general sense. But still he had to bring it up, he's right.

- that cut to Helo when she mentioned Hera was a perfect reminder

- HELO IS XO (again)! (for this week and maybe next, but still....) Poor Helo has to look at the roster every day to see where his duty station is supposed to be.

- and the Cylons are out there, following them, and almost killed Racetrack and Skulls! YAY! (I mean, for the Cylons being all menace-y, not the 'track dying, because that would piss me off)


in sum, I like the set up for part 2.

I liked the ep a lot too and can't wait until next week. I *really* liked playful Sam in this episode. I think I may have to go hide in a cave to avoid spoilers this week. I'm not really a spoiler-phobe, but I think that I would have liked Rapture and Maelstrom more if I hadn't been spoiled. So, I'm taking the "don't read" approach this time around.

Yeah, I'm with you on the spoilers. I'm usually a spoiler whore, but I already know far more about next week's than I really want to, so I'm hiding from any more. next week I may not be able to be on-line at all that evening, becaues I know the temptation to click on links is going to just kill me. (I'm Pacific coast, so there's already a lot of discussion around before I get the ep.)

I'm all sad over the loss of tousled, bed-head hair for Sam. But since the producers seem to have a thing for hair-cutting to express a character getting his or her act together, I guess it's a good thing.
