Watched the last three episodes tonight, and Iโm finally caught up. You may now proceed with emailing me theories as to what exactly happened with Starbuck (Moore complicates things pretty nicely in this interview). I have suspicions, but nothing remotely certain.
Also: Yes, I really liked the one about unions despite it being pretty much straight-up pro-union propaganda. And Iโm kind of curious about how theyโre setting up Baltar as some sort of Che/Marx populist revolutionary. What else? Roslinโs mystery novel gift to Adamaโโa gift, not a loanโโwas a pretty excellent call back to the first season. Iโm also incredibly impressed by the way Moore is incorporating dreams, memory, and thought life into the show; in addition to smart allegorical science fiction, BSG is becoming a rather fascinating exploration of the nature of time and memory. It increasingly seems that every one of these characters is haunted by his or her own life, and the struggle to survive is, in large part, a struggle to break free fromโor at least come to terms withโoneโs own past. Good stuff.
Iโm still behind on Lost, Heroes, and 24, however, so unlike Kathryn, Iโll just have to wait a while to find out what Jack did tonight.
