Resurrection Ship, Part 2 (212)

[Speakfire]

Lee was picked up by the Search and Rescue raptor. Gina killed Cain.. not 6.. Big difference, even though its the same face/body.

[NakedJehutyV2]

gina is a six thus six

[kharn the betrayer]

did six kill cain?

how did apollo get back?

i stepped out of room during said scenes

Yep Gina Killed Cain


and Apollo was picked up by a Raptor

Edit: I posted to late >.>

[Carrie]

and Starbucks comment about how the fleet would have been safer with Cain.... my Jaw dropped to the floor at that moment

She had to say something good about Cain at the funeral.

For one, it's kinda bad to speak ill of the dead.

For two, she probably still has a lot of supporters from the crew. Meaning saying that, in a little room like that, might wind up with a fight breaking out and someone decking her.

Wonder how long Galactica personnel will be on Pegasus. Kara is still a Captain, and still the CAG there as of right now.

[Speakfire]

Did you notice that Adama called Lee 'Lieutenant'? That just.. struck me so odd. I wonder if he's got his rank of captain back. I'd presume so just because Tyrol and Helo were released, but.. he seemed in such a funk there is no telling.

I never said she had to speak ill of her

I could tell that she realy Didnt want to kill Cain and respected her on some level...

But I didnt expect her to say THAT expecialy since she has a Bond with Adama...



any ways Who here is sad that the Black Bird got destroyed....I loved that ship ;_;

[Arative]

I thought Lee wanted to die because he lost faith in his father and Roslin when they conspired to murder Cain. I think he felt that they betrayed the trust placed him. Of course I could be way off.

I really wanted to see more of the space battle and thought that would take up more than a few scenes of the episode but then this is a character driven drama not a special effects, blow em up show. And so long Blackbird, we hardly knew her!

Cain I think redemed herself some in my eyes by not ordering her XO to kill Adama. Sure I still think she's one crazy ***** but I thought she really came back from the brink of total madness.

I was surprised to see Starbuck agree that some of what Cain did may have been the correct course. I don't see Starbuck as a win at all cost type. But she did have a point that maybe Cain had been right instead of running, they should try to fight.

Was cool to see Baltar go more to the dark side but I felt that he gave Gina the gun, not just to see that she could get justice done but so he could get justice too because he was so appalled by what had been to Gina. Baltar for sure will use anyone to get what he wants and he used Gina to kill Cain, even though Gina had every cause to kill Cain. I wonder if Six in the head is gone for ever or will she come back sometime.

Over all, a really excellent episode but it felt like to me that Ressurection, part 1 should have been the mid season break instead of Pegasus but thats just me.

[Thor's Pal]

I think the reason Starbuck said what she did is because she did not know for certan about Pegasus civ fleet and Cain had "bought" her by wanting to not only go back for surviors but to kick Cyclon butts off of the Colonanies.

[Mr. Seven]

For a second there I thought those two Pegasus Specialists were going to prison rape Helo and the Chief, but thankfully that didn't happen. I wouldn't put anything past this bunch. I was actually hoping for the entire ship to be destroyed, cause I think they are all off the reservation. (Even though I read spoilers that said it is around for a while)

Nice that Adama gets promoted to Admiral. Hopefully everything falls in line under his command.

I liked the scene where the Chief moved on. He was just like.."frack this, I'm out of here."

So is it pretty much a given now that Six in Baltar's head was something he made up? Like that Pyramid Game thing was his memory or something? Or do all the Six's share that memory, and Baltar knew that and used it to win over Gina? Interesting stuff. Weird that she killed the guard, he wasn't going anywhere. I guess he might have assaulted her too.

Notice how Admiral Cain never flinched when she was about to get shot. Just like she said in her pep talk with Starbuck. Those two had a nice relationship. I'd say one was the older version of the other. Was Starbuck and Cain on the original series much the same way? Both flamboyant guys?


Best show on TV hands down. Sure the space fight could have been better, but they are on a limited budget. It's good that we got to see some of it at least.

[Kilharae]

It wouldn't make any sense for six to be have made up. Seriously, that whole sports schpeal wouldn't have meant anything to prisnor six if hallusination six wasn't real. And remember, six gave baltar detailed information about the cylons plans at the end of season 1. It wouldn't make any sense at all.

[FoolishPleasure]

Terrific follow-up to last week!

Glad to see Cain "get it", but at the same time, I'm gonna miss that b****. *LOL*

Good battle scenes, great scenes in the control rooms - would Starbuck and the other officer carry out their "missions?" Good tension.

Loved the ending scene with Adama and Roslyn. Had to reach for the Kleenex.

What a great show!

[cyke]

Just when you thought BSG couldn't get any better, they pull out an episode like this !!!!

some quick comments

Dee- what's up with her? Looks like Cylon is written all over her .. but then again, maybe that's what they want us to think

Cain- after both her and Adama decided not to go through with it, i felt bad that she died. once she entered her quarters, i knew that #6 was waiting for her.

Lee- early shot reminded me of "you can't go home again" from season 1. is there friction between him and his dad? aww.. i always like it when the two of them get along

Laura/Adama.. or should i say Adaura, in front of Billy no less ! And looks like by next episode, do i see a cure in sight for her via Sharon's baby and Baltar? you know they had to keep her alive somehow !!

i was at the edge of my seat the whole time and not just cuz there was a huge battle going on. this was the first major offensive the fleet has ever taken, (they took a stand in season 1 to get tillium but thats about it) yet the focus laid within the confines of the characters. great episode indeed !

[Liebestraume]

I thought Part 1 was good but knew Part 2 would top even that. They sure didn't disappoint. Thoughts are still pretty fragmented at the moment, so please bear with the incoherence.

Michelle Forbes rocked as Cain. She managed to give her character a hard edge while imbuing enough humanity to make it sympathetic. And this came through prominently in two scenes tonight. The first one being when Cain was giving Kara the "do not flinch" pep-talk, where I believe she rather suspected that Kara was Adama's hit-woman. The second one being her facing certain death -- she did not flinch, yet her fear was also evident (in her eyes). I suppose I've always had more empathy for Cain than most, so perhaps that's just my biased view.

Cain IMHO is a very tragic figure. Once she had been an outstanding officer and most likely, a decent human being, but I suspect her vision was always a bit skewed, in the sense that her focus was on whom to fight against but not whom to fight for. I think that was at the root of her unraveling. Although in no way am I condoning her wrongdoings (which were numerous), chalking it all to her being "crazy" is perhaps a bit too simplistic. So, in some ways, I can relate to Kara's responding to Cain.

And Lee ... what can I say? I like this character more and more. Tonight it looked like all that repressed emotions finally came to a head, but what struck me most was his sense of loyalty. No knocks to Helo -- whose loyalty to Sharon was extremely moving and endearing -- I think Lee's brand is even more precious. What Kara asked him to do was against everything he believed in; from his latent suicidal urge, one could even say it was against what had sustained him thus far. Yet he still resolved to go through with it, because she was his friend and she needed him. And his last thought -- as far as he knew -- was of her, of how he failed her.

[Carbito]

That was a really good episode. It will be interesting to see the new command structures in the next episode.

[ToasterOnFire]

Wow. I'll post more later, but I was just blown away by this ep. The space battle was absolutely gorgeous, having Lee sink beneath the water to symbolize his impending death was beautiful, and the tension felt by Kara and Fisk was handled with nailbiting perfection. The music made this episode, from the tension of the drums on the post battle bridges to the haunting tune while Lee drifted.

Just...wow. That awful week-long anticipation was more than worth it.


ETA: Hot damn, everyone was crying in this episode. I held out, I really did, but seeing Adama tear up in the end made my all misty. *sniff*
