Boy, was I stupid! Here I was pining away for the heartfelt reunion of Tyrol and Boomer, thinking it would be a bright spot in the current doom-and-gloom of BSG. So I get my reunion--and it WAS sweet seeing these 2 cry and fawn over their imaginary child and imaginary, well-appointed home--but it would only result in yet more betrayals, pain and, finally, some action to move the plot forward!Don't you just love this show?
I didn't see it coming, the whole thing with Boomer taking out Athena, having sex with Helo (can you blame her?) while Athena watches, bloodied and bound in a closet, and then kidnapping Hera to take back to grisly ol' Cavil.
And poor, stupid Tyrol. Yeah, these Final 5 aren't all that bright. Their children continue to outwit them.
Wasn't all that excited about the Starbuck/piano plot line. I mean, I knew it was supposed to maybe, kinda, possibly reveal a shadowy clue about something--but did we have to sit through all the "please, Kara, play me a tune," plink--plink--plink? But ok, so the song Starbuck's dad taught her was recognized by Saul and Ellen, and Hera had unwittingly (?) drawn the musical notes for Starbuck. Obviously, it will soon be discovered that Starbuck's dad was none other than the recently revealed Cylon Model #7, Daniel. The bigger question: Is there a Daniel model alive somewhere, waiting for his moment to bring salvation?
So how did Hera know those notes? Was it some kind of downloaded Cylon mass consciousness memory thing that somehow passed from Daniel to Athena, Hera's mom? Is there a greater significance to that particular song? Music was used earlier to trigger 4 of the Final 5 into action (and how that was planned has yet to be explained). Reminds me of how certain musical notes are supposed to resonate with each point in the chakra system.
And if Starbuck is indeed the first half-breed Cylon/human, does she have an as-yet-unexplained destiny, just like little Hera?
I'm SURE the writers can explain all this in just 3 frakkin' episodes!
