So the third season premier of Battlestar Galactica is almost upon us! I won’t be live-blogging the premier, but instead updating between commercial breaks, because I want to pay attention while the show is actually, y’know, on. I can’t wait! I’m very, very, very excited. Very.
Anyway. Geisha’s here, and if she blabs during the show, I’m going to kill her, or staple her lips together or something. Ten minutes of talking about Lost before Battlestar Galactica! I can’t, fucking, wait.
First Impressions:
New intro! I guess Anders got his medications. Love Leoben’s (sp?) crack about insurgents. Insurgents as heroes? Sacre bleu! Does Starbuck have tattoos? We’ve seen her bare-armed before, these have to be new. Love the scene with her finally enjoying her meal without bothering to wash her arms of blood. Score!
geisha’s first impresions: I don’t do sci fi. I’m blogging while he’s watching but there was a hot sex scene. Score. :)
Second Impressions:
So it’s been 134 days. Nice exposition with Roslin. I’m betting Felix Gaeta is the leak from within Baltar’s administration. Baltar is widely viewed as a traitor? Awesome! Carprican Police? They’re not pulling from the comparissons to Iraq, are they? They really want to push the audience here, I’m guessing.
geisha’s second impressions: Some freaky scene with some guy and his eyeball fell out. He said it looked like a hardboiled egg. Ew. No more sex. Wah. Snay’s getting pretty immersed. Scared to laugh. Am sure bodily harm will ensue.
Third Impressions:
Forgot to mention earlier: Jammer’s Caprican police? Unlike Duck, I don’t think Jammer’s doing it as a way to fuck Cylons (as in, y’know, killing ‘em). Apollo’s really fucking fat. Dualla’s right — he’s soft (not just fat). Racetrack and Cat! Wow - Bill Adama’s relationship with Boomer. I think some of the timeline is off in their discussion — it’s been sixteen months since Baltar’s election, but it sounds like they’re talking about Home Pt. II where Boomer first got thrown into the cell. I like the moment of hope after the transmission from the ground — still don’t have a clue how Adama expects to pull this off. Magic?
**WHOOPS! This was supposed to have been being updated every commercial break, but I forgot to post it initially so it wasn’t! ooops! (I know, no one cars).***
geisha: Zzzzzzzzzzz
Fourth Impression
Duck as suicide bomber — bye, Duck (I was hoping he was going to stick around and become an irregular in the season — like Kat in Seas. 2. Oh well). I’m guessing Jammer’s probably dead, too. Does Baltar suspect Gaeta? Where the fuck is Hot Dog?
geisha: Do I smell cheese?
Fifth Impression
Tyrol can be really dumb sometimes — how does he not think Gaeta’s his source? How does he not suspect Jammer? Dense dumbass. Baltar is really — really really really — beyond hope. I should’ve known this. Whatever. Baltar as Bush? Yeah, but Baltar’s still smarter.
Sixth Impression
I think Bill just convinced Apollo for the need to go back to New Caprica — I hope, anyway. Looks like Boomer’s earning a way out of her jail cell — going ground-side as one of Adama’s officers. Neat! Starbuck’s got a baby! Wonder where Cylon-Simon is?
Oh, look, Casey hurt herself, thereby bringing out Starbuck’s hidden mommy-side. Shocker.
Seventh Impression
Sharon Agathon?! GOT A COMMISSION!! I didn’t see that one coming at all. I think it’s nice, though, real nice.
geisha: I fell asleep. They say freck on this show instead of fuck. Uh. Been sharply rebuked by Snay for various noise violations. In my defense, he’s crazy.
Eight!
Holy shit, did Zarek and Roslin both just get killed off? Good to see Jammer’s not completely a douche. Ellen is, but she’s trying to protect her husband. Good for Baltar - he feels guilty. Is it still possible for his character to have an epiphany about his role in this shit? Doubtful.
Next Week:
Oh, previews with Roslin — she’s — somewhow — still alive. Is Baltar a cylon? Interesting.
