lesbiassparrowSpoilers behind the cut for Home Pt 2.
I made a horrible, horrible discovery tonight. I've realised that it may be that my OTP on this show is Tyrol/Sharon. This is problematic as one of them is technically dead while her copy is shacking up with Helo. And that's really creepy.
I do not trust new Sharon at all, with her superiority complex about the Cylon gods (far too close to Six to be comfortable viewing); you know when the chips are down she'll kill people off with an easy conscience because her god told her to. And her whole self-aware pose just seems that - a pose. I mean the Cylons could hardly think they'd get away with a model that was all 'I have no idea that I'm a secretly programmed killer' so they went for the upfront tell the truth version. I imagine they have them labeled somewhere. (Also I think I am the only person in fandom to prefer Galactica Sharon to the new one, so I am biased).
My favourite moment was not actually the Lee as crown prince thing but the Billy and Roslin moment. I had this horrible sinking feeling with the father son moment that Roslin would be left all damp and soggy and with no one to hug and then along came Billy. I love Billy and I want him and Dualla to live happily ever after and I know that's so not going to happen on this show, so I'm taking my moments where I can.
The Adama and Roslin forgiveness scene was interesting. If I was a more suspicious person I'd think he was trying to get her to admit guilt by taking his forgiveness - but she didn't and thus avoided the trap. Or what I think was a trap of some sort. They're friendly, but I don't think we've seen the total cessation of hostilities between those two yet.
The big reveal at the end surprised me. I thought they might go with Roslin was totally wrong route so I was pleasantly surprised that they didn't. So now she really is that dying leader or something like that, and that makes me worry for the character.
Also Athena as a woman who tosses herself off rocks? I'm a wee bit disappointed in that myth as I like warrior woman Athena. I wonder if she didn't toss herself off but was some sort of pharmakos or scapegoat who had had all of the sins of mankind heaped on her before she was thrown off to die.
ETA: Coming soon: Caprica's Heavy Machinery News interviews Captain Lee Adama about poppet valves, heavy machinery and other items of interest. We are currently accepting suggestions for questions. Please note this is not Caprica's Attractive Men of the Military Weekly; their issue 'Lieutenant Helo: Cute but Dumb' will soon be hitting a newstand near you. (And while we would never suggest they are not a serious newspaper, we do feel there were rather too many questions about when he would take his shirt off and too few about the brand of spanners he would use to fix his Raptor's FTL-Drive.)
