or so i’m told, or so i’ve heard…but i’m not so certain i believe that lot of hogwash at this juncture.
because i’ve just watched the 2nd BSG webisode and now i really i really, really, fucking really cannot wait for october 6th. no, seriously, i can’t fucking wait!!!
it’s been too freaking long, and on the one hand i’m like ‘wow the whole summer just flew by!’ but on the other hand i’m like ‘it’s been too freaking long!’ and now, i’m not even certain that season 2.5 discs are going to appease me. i mean, sure, i’m fucking going to buy them (duh!) but it’s not the same as a brand spanking-new season.
a brand spanking-new season of insanely insane episodes. the whole one-year-ahead jump in the season finale was…mind-blowing. and i know that time has jumped ahead yet again in the BSG world, so it’s totally nerve-wracking trying to figure out what else has changed in the interim.
because there were a number of issues not addressed by the season 2 finale that has me wondering if they’re like…just to be forgotten entirely? or brought up again later? or replaced with completely different issues?
for example:
- earth: so like, this was from the mini-series, savvy? and the whole goal was to escape the cylons and find this mystical earth and live in harmony and blah blah blah. right? they even did that whole tomb-of-athena arc & found the map to earth and everything! and then…what? just all of a sudden they dropped it. just like that! and now, nobody seems to remember earth at all. it was vaguely brought up during the election stuff, but other than that: nothing. what about earth, people?!
- starbuck’s girlie innards: so obviously, in the farm, something suspicious — but not delicious — was done to starbuck. she has the scar to prove it. and the season 3 promos show that they obviously did something fairly major to her, since there’s an alleged “daughter” in the mix now. so what i want to know is, who’s the “father”? where did it come from? where have they been keeping it? and how soon can it be tossed out a fucking airlock? NO CYLON BABIES IN 2006, yo! anti-cylon baby movement starts here. the cylons shouldn’t be making babies they should be fucking CRUSHING THEIR SKULLS! crush crush crush! DOWN WITH THE BABIES!
- the prez remembering baltar was banging six: i’m sure roslin has not forgotten that baltar was in cahoots with at least one cylon model prior to The Attack, but the olmos knows too! other people need to know! it’s just, i don’t know what good it does now that he ran the entire human civilization into the ground — quite literally. at this point, there’s hardly anyone left to care. and the cylons are everywhere now. and the thing is, i kind of like baltar — because he’s so freaking crazy — but i would sort of like to see him get exposed for all his involvement, you know? the initial attack, the nuclear warhead, fucking everything. i mean basically, he has brought the cylons down upon humanity TWICE now. ridiculous.
- the evilboomerwhore’s cylon spawnling: i really wish they had’ve airlocked that thing. and the evil caprica/galactica boomerwhore. because, the way i see it, she’s nothing but bad news for the fleet. and i don’t think she’ll ever genuinely help them out. if anything she’s just one big walking mindfuck for the olmos. and the olmos full of self-doubt is a bad thing.
- baltar’s surrender: why? god why? though, i do realize there was no option to run or fight or anything…but i don’t know. it’ll definitely be interesting to see the baltar/re-downloaded caprica six relationship in “person” so to speak. i mean before now, they’ve just hallucinated each other. of course, that was also pretty funny. i guess there’ll be no more baltar-caught-with-his-hand-down-his-pants episodes.
- why the cylons came back (again): i want to know. i mean, they deluged starbuck’s rescue squad with attacks on caprica. and things were bad, right? and they’ve been consistently pursuing the fleet since day one. then, the cavil models say they have a message, fire is drawn off, and that’s that for the cylon attack. a whole YEAR goes by and the collective guard of the fleet is down. then: BAM! they’re back, they’re crazy, and there’s no escape…what the fuck, man? why did they leave in the first place? was it really because of caprica six & the evilboomerwhore 2.0? was it? why did they come back with such all-encompassing force? so many questions…
- the viability of “new caprica”: from the start, initial diagnostics & whatnots regarding this planet were sketchy at best. not too optimal for human life, really. just kind of a dismal rock floating in space that people can breathe on. and that’s about it. gaeta, baltar, roslin, all of them initially did not believe that it would be a good place to settle, and yet there they are. mainly because baltar has that huge ego problem. but did people suddenly forget? is the lure of solid ground that overpowering?
- tom zarek: um, did the cylons smoke him? i really don’t like him and his stupid monkey face, but he was pseudo-major and now there’s no sign of him anywhere.
also, i totally joined a kickball league, motherfuckers! RAWR! and, football officially starts today!
