BSG - Escape Velocity

“The pain is how I learn from the guilt. There’s wisdom there. Clarity. You know yourself there…. When you’re in pain, that’s when you learn who you really are. That’s when you focus. Sharp as the point of a knife.” - Six to Tigh

So … it’s safe to say that pain was the common thread this week on Battlestar Galactica. In particular, the pain of guilt. Which Six schools Tigh about when he keeps visiting her cell, trying to learn how he can shut off the guilty pain he feels over killing his wife Ellen for being a Cylon collaborator (without revealing that he’s a Cylon himself). Six is oddly sympathetic to his plight, and in Tigh’s mind, she keeps morphing into the face of his dead wife. In fact, she’s so sympathetic that she gleefully bashes his face in for his own good, and he lets her. But really, it’s just foreplay, and the last we see of them, they’re making out on the floor.

BSG - Six of One

Okay, let’s start with the title of this week’s episode of Battlestar Galactica, because I think it pretty much sets the tone. I’m just going to go with the most obvious interpretation, that it refers to the idiom, “six of one, half-dozen of the other” — a phrase used to describe a situation in which either of two alternatives is equally valid. This applies to the episode in several ways … Continue Reading »

BSG - He That Believeth in Me

Hey, did anybody notice that Battlestar Galactica is back on? I just happened to be flipping channels Friday night and ran across it. Funny how they didn’t bother to hype the new season at all. But SERIOUSLY, folks … the final season is finally upon us, complete with new opening credits: “Twelve Cylon Models. Seven are known. Four live in secret. One will be revealed.” Continue Reading »

So did all the die-hard Battlestar Galactica fans out there catch the special two-hour episode this weekend? If you missed it, don’t worry, it’s being released on DVD next week. It’s basically one big flashback, as well as a flashback within a flashback, and in one case, an even flashier flashback. Good stuff! Continue Reading »
