Cain has the firepower to ignore her of course, but it's important to make a statement like that for the sake of the civilians.<BR/><BR/>I picked up my Season 1 DVDs too! I'll probably watch them this weekend.<BR/><BR/>Box, you're right about the Pegasus not being around long. In the original show the fate of the Pegasus was unknown, but it was assumed that the ship made another blind jump and headed out to deep space. The same will probably happen in this version of the show, but instead of people hoping that the crew of the Pegasus made it, the Galactica crew and the fleet may dread their return.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the compliments on my review!Michelle Pessoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730504253807606256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10681857.post-1127748609405329392005-09-26T11:30:00.000-04:002005-09-26T11:30:00.000-04:00I agree with a lot of your points and I'm glad to ...I agree with a lot of your points and I'm glad to see that consequence for some of the shit they let slide has come back to bite them in the colonial ass. It's one of the things I loved about the show I was worried was fading. I mean, the way the whole 'Arrow Of Apollo' story arc ended, it felt like the Star Trek reset button effect.<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty sure the Pegasus won't stay long, though I hope the writers have better tricks then the whole 'let's put aside our differences cos there be cylons present, lads' device. I don't think the show can support two Battlestars anyway, seeing as how it dilutes the horror of their singular refugee status - a key tenet of the show.<BR/><BR/>Some other stuff I didn't like:<BR/><BR/>Stuff I didn’t like:<BR/><BR/><B>The new music.</B> I swear, if the reunion scene where Cain came on board went any longer, they’d have thrown in a guitar riff to join the modern drum beats. Also, what’s with the old western guitar twanging in that scene with Baltar and the abused cylon prisoner.<BR/><BR/><B>The Cain vs Adama camera work.</B> The handheld camera work that has been their signature added to the realism of the show. It was fresh. The ‘standoff’ with both of them having words on the phone was a bit too Michael Bay for me. Swirling ‘carousel’ shot and all. <BR/><BR/>The near-rape of Sharon was a butal thing to watch.<BR/>I flinched, and I've read about shit perpetrated against enlisted women.<BR/><BR/>Whatever this show's shortcomings, you can't say they don't take it to the edge.<BR/><BR/>I loved your review.The Boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07702740645052389907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10681857.post-1127745526188607712005-09-26T10:38:00.000-04:002005-09-26T10:38:00.000-04:00I had not thought of the cylons showing up to dist...I had not thought of the cylons showing up to distract the two commanders, that's a good call.<BR/><BR/>Another possibility is that if the Pegasus is vulnerable to the Cylon virus that disabled all the other battlestars and vipers, that Adama will tell Gaeta to use it against the Pegasus.<BR/><BR/>Also, with regards to Roslyn, she should stand up and take charge as well. If they are structured like a proper democracy, she is technically the 'Commander in Chief' and therefore can fire Admiral Cain and put Adama in charge of the fleet.<BR/><BR/>Definitely some holes in the story line, but again you have to suspend some of the pratical stuff when dealing with drama... science fiction in particular.<BR/><BR/>Overall a good episode. I just got my Season one DVD's and am going through to watch the episodes again to see what I missed the first time. Plus the commentary is always insightful.FL Voterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911463158790470488noreply@blogger.com
