OMG MY SHOW. OMG MY SHOW, IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY, MY SHOOOOOOOW.
Erm, spoilertastic for the entire thing, and not guaranteed to be at all coherent.
OMFG, the opening to Razor could not be more tailor-made for me, or at least, what I want out of this episode, which is, well, loads of Cain(/Gina, /Kendra) kinfe!fic.
Oh, Ron Moore... don't let me down here, kay?
Ohhhhh, I don't want this to be a Very Special Episode About Drugs. :(
I call about five days before the first Kara/Kendra "We Both Miss Cain" comfort!sex fic gets posted.
Finally we get to see Scorpion! (Yes, I'm a dork.)
OMG people actually like Cain! <33333 And that's her XO omg yay foreshadowing and emo. (yes, this is where my coherence disintegrates)
NETWORK ADMINNISTRATOR LOVE. Also, *snerk*, "lapsed Classics major," I'm sorry, I'm just having flashbacks to "Mal, that's Latin for bad."
Caaaaain, you're such a bitch. "A little mid-morning snack." HI I'M IN LOVE. Like, moreso.
No, ok, THIS is where my coherence goes. OMG. (what were you doing in your quarters with your jacked unbuttoned, Helena)
Kendra, you are made of awesome. *g* "Tossing you the keys to a new car," heeeeee. But for someone used to Kara, that's nuthin'. (*snerk* "carry the torch")
Adama, you are a dirty old bastard. *dies*
Lee, seriously, grow some balls - "what if we run into the Cylons" indeed.
*insert pervy Cain/Kendra comment here, too busy staring at knives to make one*
OK, knowing that they're working their asses off to humanize Cain doens't make me love this bit any less. (note to self, compare this speech with Adama's?)
Gina, no pressure to fit in there, eh?
Oh, oh, it's the dinner, it's the dinner! :D :D :D Kendra so has a thing for Cain.
OMG THEY WERE NOT SHITTING US ABOUT THE SUBTLETY OR LACK THEREOF, YES. DUDE WIN OMG. *pause, flail, rewind, flail* OK, I'm good.
God, I love this SELF-AWARE Cain. I do.
*DIES* Kendra OMG SO JEALOS AND NO SERIOSULY, SINCE WHEN IS THIS SUBTLE, ILU RON MOORE.
..."all just human," eh, yeah, ok, that is used so often as a code. And where was that originally used? Say in the mini? Why yes.
Seriously, is this a "Cain lvoed me better" rivalry or what," also, yay for Kendra carrying Cain's banner. omg love.
...I should NOT love this woman as much as I do, I realise that, but CAN I HELP IT? I just... still feel like that wasn't adequately explained, but, um. Perhaps I will have a thought when I re-watch.
They're not going to bring other Sixes on board...
OH I KNEW THAT WAS IT. OMG. AND KENDRA
OK, JUST, THAT TOTALLY WON. And, the pause, where it's like, is she actually thinking about whether ornot she can shoot Cain? Oh. OH. Oh, that was so much love. Because, I mean, think about Caprica Six and Gaius and yes, there is so much space here to explore.
I bet this would make way more sense if we had all of the flashbacks, but oh well. And hey, the hybrid, quelle suprise. "Seeking its own way to evolve," eh? Hrm.
Oh, young!Adama, you haven't learned anything yet, have you.
The Diana from Gemenon, eh? Seriously, RDM, stop mixing your damn mythologies, but OH LOOK is that something to do with Apollo, maybe?
Let's be very cautious there, Laura, shall we? Adama: "I saw what they did there!" *close up on Laura*
Was there a point to that part of the flashback? Or is it just a lead-in to "And now I hate myself so much I take drugs?"
Cain, you gigantic bastard, ILU. Oh, you're breaking my heart, seriously, the timeline is just perfect. (Could you be "stuck between a rock and a hard place" here, maybe? Hmmm?)
(oh look Gina's in her Courteny Love phase)
Oh god, seriously, breaking my heart, this is so brilliantly done and basically everything I wanted out of this episode. I just. Helenaaaaaa. <3 You are such a harsh idol for Kendra to have, but, just, oh.
(I am not sure I like the way this is lining up various types of needing to take the edge off)
Oh, Cain, we are actually getting to watch you break, and I love it, it's so well done that it's working even though we were supposed to come in haitng her (ok, I might be biased).
OMG the old Centurions are so hardcore retro.
Hey look, it's the same set from the flashbacks. Have they been experimenting on the same arms all the way?
Just shoot him! *gasp* No, don't let Kendra get punished for taking on the legacy of the "other" commanding officer...
Oh come on, seriously, once again this is my problem with reading and enjoying a text at the same time. Great story, I am snarly at the undercurrents.
IIIIIII omg, the razor win. (this would be my love of the story winning out)
Now all we need is a Six to show up *snerk*.
God is an old white man, eh? Somehow I do not entirely believe this.
Now that was an excellent and creepy dose of "Kara is a special snowflake." Even if I have SO MANY ISSUES with this storyline setup.
Do we get Laura's take now? Oh, no it's the Adamas being moral about things. Hey, do we get the patriarchal authority to bless the actions of the two female renegades?
"You see yourself reflected in your children's eyes" vs "My children think I'm a god," eh? SUBTLE AGAIN.
Oh FFS, "history," what a crappy crappy copout.
And Kara gets the razor, do we get a flashback to Cain giving it to Kendra? Please? Or a nice shot of Cain and/or Kendra hung up on the walls? Or do we just get no closure whatsoever in favour of Doomed Emo Love And Destiny Crap?
Wait wait wait, credits have "Little Lucy Cain," "Young Helena Cain," and "Helena's Father" - were they supposed to be the ones in the hybrid camp or something? Did I miss that? I bet that's where the uncut version comes up, and if that's so, what does that have to say about things, hm?
I have to go and be coherent and scholarly and stuff and talk to people who don't watch BSG AT ALL and it's going to kill me now, but. More cohesive thoughts tomorrow, or possibly later tonight after I've been drinking. *g* But, um, basically? HUGE SHINY LOVE, at least first round through.
