Previously on BSG: Aaaaargh! There be mutiny!
"Blood on the Scales"
(This ep. was written by Michael Angeli, so there's a 50/50 chance it could psychoanalyze itself into suckitude, but I have hope since the previews looked nice and action-y.)
Hey, it's Kelly, who was last seen getting all on sabatoge-y on Galactica's ass!
Dude, Adama could pwn your ass six ways to Sunday, Felix.
And Romo Lampkin makes an appearance--wouldn't be an Angeli episode without him, and looking about 25% less crazy than the last time we saw him.
Awesome line: Adama to Felix: "Shove it up your ass." If only all arguments could be solved that way...
Looks like foppish Sagitaron rep. grew a backbone too late. Nasty business, this civil war.
Hi, Feelix's latent idealism! Long time since we've seen you.
Awesome lines 2 ans 3: "I'm too frakkin' tired to get up, so why don't you just shoot me." and "I'm just a machine? What does that make you, dumbass?" Both by Chief, because he's starting to be awesome again.
Yay, Helo's conscious!
Oh noes, Anders!
More magical cylon transdpondster tech--what will they reveal next.
Lampkin decides to help Kara and not-dead-yet Anders--like you couldn't see that coming from across the fleet. Thanks for not letting me down, Angeli.
No one writes anvillicious self-awareness like Angeli. At least he shifts characters each time, with Gaius being this week's verbal victim.
Tricia Helfer looks pretty bangin'--as Jonathan Antin would say--with the Hollywood hippy hair.
Chief in the bowels of the ship--I know there's some kind of deep metaphor or something but my brain is too mushy to come up with one.
When are you going to learn Tom, not to piss off Laura to the point where she gets trigger happy? Honestly, have you not seen this show?
The ad for the Cylon detector iPhone app: I may have to download that.
Felix has done so much mental waffling that you could drizzle sweet grade A maple syrup all over it. mmmmm.
Awesome line: "I just hope that one day people will know what I was." Oh Felix, has there ever been a more meta line on this show?!
Felix finally lets go of his anger and his stump stops hurting--oh the levels you bring to the drama, Angeli.
Of course Zarek and Felix had to get ded, there would be no end if they didn't. I'm just sad to see them die because while what they did ended up being all kinds of bad for the survival of the fleet, they actually were grounded--at least Felix was, maybe Zarek not so much--in correct principles. It's too bad things had to end the way they did, but it wouldn't be BSG if at least one known and semi-beloved character didn't get deep sixed every so often.
As far as Angeli episodes go, this was one of the better ones. This is mostly because the plot dictated lots of ass-kicking action, leaving precious little time for dithering and obvious introspection, something Angeli seems to have a huge boner for but for which he lacks the necessary nuance to carry off much of the time. Of course, this is just my opinion as one of a million BSG fans who are also internet jackasses.
