Yeah, Galen settled. His comments really pushed his feelings to the fore, about how people settle for what they can get, not what they want/need. "
I settled. I settled for that shriek. With those dull vacant eyes. The oiled cabbage stench of her. And why? Because this is my life! This is the life I picked!" This was pure emotional vitriol pouring forth from anger and fear. This sort of writing keeps me coming back because it has a sense of the Real. I don't doubt there are people out there who may think the same thing after this episode. That's great writing to me.
Adama is a cylon. Remember that first series scrap piece of paper? He projects on his Anniversary. Yeah, I think Adama really said those things to Galen, which pushed him.
I love how the writers are making Baltar out to the Jesus figure.
The President's hate for Baltar is blinding her. She is akin to the figures who had power to protect, and their fear causes them to make decisions that could be used against the populace.
Tigh. My favorite character in this series. He's looking upon Six and hearing her words, it's close to the forgiveness he needs. So close, yet not enough. So he seeks the pain as a form of sacrifice. He hates Baltar so much, (and the person at the NYComicCon who said Tigh's voice is tinged with hatred is so true!) The beating from Six is the sacrifice he needs. ("More weight" ~ The Crucible.) In the end, does he make love to Six? I hope so, because he's projecting Ellen. Oh, and I believe the Six knows. She gives him the Nietscheshehshe "Look into the Abyss" speech, which was a brilliant touch.
The scene with Six manipulating Baltar is visual proof that she isn't a figment of his imagination; as one poster said, he was like a marionette. "I want to stay down, I really want to stay down." I loved that part. It reminds me of the verse: Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's will that prevails. She is an Angel of God, as she says. So going off of this, it lends credence to the belief of the Old Gods, because a servant of the One God is manifest. It is implied the One God was cast out by the Old Gods because He was a jealous god, (As spake in the series and the Wiki), and was exiled to Earth. Since God has his Angels, why wouldn't the Old Gods help their believers? (They have. How do you think they found the algae planets. The Old Gods seem to believe in hardship as their guide, where the One God relies on Science. Which is probably why the One God is gaining popularity; their sermon is "You are Perfect the way you are", and their believers always seem to come out on top. Especially after getting your face beat in.)
Look, I'm a dude and I like to think I'm frakking tough. I've been in my share of fights in my youth, I know jail isn't a frakking joke, and I'll protect what's mine because that's my duty and I love them, dig? So imagine my frakkin' surprise when I watch the final scene with Six and Tigh and I hear Saul ask for more like the frakking godzilla that he is, I hear her words, then they kiss, and I'm looking around to see if my lady is going to catch me crying. I mean seriously, knock it off: Writers.
Dude, between you and me? I'm frakking jazzed to think I've met my Six.
Something in the Universe loves Me.The sermon of Gaius Baltar:I'm not a priest. I'm not even particularly a good man.
I've infact, been a profoundly... selfish man.
That doesn't matter, you see.
Something in the Universe, loves me.
Something in the Universe. Loves. The entity that is Me.
I will choose to call this something: God.
A Singular Spark, that dwells in the Soul of every living being.
If you look inside yourself, you will find this spark too.
You will.
But You have to
look.Deep.
Love Your faults. Embrace them.
If God embraces them, then how can they be faults?
love yourself.
You have to love Yourself.
If we don't love Ourselves, how can We love Others?
And when We know what We are, then We can find the truth out about Others.
See what they are. The Truth about Them.
And you know what the Truth is! The Truth about Them!?
About You!? About Me? Do You?
the truth is we are all perfect.
just as we are.
God only loves that which is Perfect, and He loves You. He loves You because you are Perfect.
You are Perfect.
Just as you Are!(If you are the GM: Hands out, arms wide pose, get a light behind him to act as halo, awesome, cut to the candy ass for contrast. Cut and print!)Who gets that kinda love from parents? I'd follow the One God. Hell of a role to follow, especially with a Harem. =) Tory is hawt.
And why do I want to watch Iron Man really bad? >.<
So I've been struck down this week with a vicious flu. Normally I'm able to withstand a lot, yet it seems when I'm staying up late doing homework then heading in to work day after day, it takes its toll. So I found myself Sunday feeling that lactic acid creep across the shoulder blades, followed up that night with the sweat that comes from a body trying to slay the invaders within.
