Battlestar Galactica | S2 E4 : Resistance | Full Reaction
Added 2025-07-10 15:49:01 +0000 UTCThere's a real sense that the already fragile balance holding the fleet together is starting to finally crack. And it's painful to witness. With Adama still down, Tigh's leadership is just... an unraveling disaster. I actually feel sorry for him. He's not cut out for this level of responsibility, but at the same time, the way he handles martial law is tragic and frustrating. This kind of pressure exposed every single one of his weaknesses, especially the drinking and his complete lack of political judgement.
I can't help but root for Roslin now. As she steps into this prophetic role, you can see how her experience is evolving. She's not just the President anymore, she's a symbol of hope. And that has real power. Watching her escape with Lee and Zarek felt like a major shift. And even though I hate to see Lee go against his father, I understand why. He's standing on principle and believes in the civilian government. I can't help but respect the heck out of him for that.
And Cally. Wow. I didn't expect that moment to hit as hard as it did. I actually started to feel bad for Boomer both before and after she got shot. She's a Cylon, and yet she just seems so lost, scared, and almost human in her grief. I'm surprising myself with my growing empathy for the Cylons. Maybe it's because they're not just acting like machines anymore. They have emotions, doubts, even love. It's messing with my sense of who the "enemy" really is... The more I watch, the more I feel like I'm being pulled into that moral gray zone myself now. It's brilliant.

The return of Commander Adama really shows how much his presence was missed. Even though we felt his absence since the season 1 finale, the relief in his return was palpable.

2025-07-13 15:06:06 +0000 UTCIn one of the awful (IMHO) Star Wars prequels, Yoda has a great line, and here it applies to Cally: Her fear of Cylons led to her being angry at Boomer, her anger led to hating Boomer, and that led to Boomer's suffering. Albeit that suffering is short-lived on Galactica, but she's a Cylon. Think about it: Will she have the memory of her death after she wakes up in a new body? From what's been said before, it's pretty certain. I won't say any more.
