thistlechaserI just finished season three. The last couple eps had their ups and downs.
Ups: The court scenes. I went into it knowing Baltar was 100% guilty, but by the end of Lee's big speech, I became totally undecided. (I need to rewatch the eps! Wish I hadn't been deleting them as I watched them.) Everything Lee said was reasonable, that it was a bad time and everyone was doing what they had to to survive... and Baltar did have a gun held to his head to force him to sign the death list... I love how the ep was able to change my mind.
Downs: "Hi, I'm a cylon!" "no wai, me 2!" "I'm one, too!" "Hi! I guess I'm one, too!"
After being so annoyed at being spoiled about the Chief for so long, I was expecting something more than that. Not to mention, four of them given away at once? I was kind of expecting them to draw it out and make us wait for it, not "Oh hi! We're cylons!".
I knew it: Starbuck's alive. How many times did I say in comments that I wouldn't believe she was really dead until the series ended and she was still a dead body? Bah.
I guess I've gotten my expectations set too high, but I was disappointed by so much of season three.
Hopefully season four will be better! On to it now! Yay! (I still need to watch Razor, but I keep putting it off. I guess I will once I'm caught up.)
