BSG “Edodus Pt. 2″

Filed under: Uncategorized — MalSnay @ 9:32 pm

Holy Frakkin’ Fan Boy’s Wet Dream, Batman! (SPOILERS!)

Lovin’ Adama’s plan. Oh, and look, Hot Dog doing an inneratmospheric launch from a “falling like a rock” Galactica, which jumps away! WOO.

Nice trick, producers: big missile launchers straddling select Raptors, but we never get to see them in action! Frakkers!

Pegasus arrives! Didn’t see that coming (hah!) but I love her introduction, and, y’know. Her fate. So long, Battlestar Pegasus.

The rescue mission had to have casualties — an unknown number of people died planetside, but I was expecting we’d lose some regular and irregular cast members (instead, they blew up a Battlestar): I had bet on Kat, Anders, and Gaeta, but all survived (although the preview for next week’s episode calls into question at least one character’s fate). I knew Ellen Tigh wasn’t going to make it — I came across that spoiler a month or so ago. No. Big. Loss.

Frak typing! I’ve got Battlestar to watch!!!

I love the last scene. Not just because Adama finally shaves his “porn star” ’stache, but also because it seems like a homecoming when he steps out of his quarters and the corridors are crowded and the p/a system is going, and his Marine guards are back and … oh, how frakking awesome is it? Pretty awesome.

My Quick Review of “The Sentinel”, And Yes, There May Exist Here Minor Spoilers, You’ve Been Warned.

Surprisingly, a not half-bad action/intrigue shoot-’em-up featuring Michael Douglas and Keifer Sutherland as opposing U.S. Secret Service agents hunting a traitor, defending the president, and trying to score with Eva Langoria.

How do I rate this on a scale of Secret Service Movies?

In The Line of Fire > The Sentinel < Murder at 1600

(Woulda been nice to know why the evil ex-KGB baddies wanted to kill the President, though.)

(Clark Johnson — best known as the coolest cat on the Homicide squad, Meldrick Lewis — directed and has a cameo).
