BSG - Maelstrom

First viewing impressions. 2nd viewing in 60 min.

Wiping the tears from my cheeks. I didn't think I would be affected like this. After all, I did read the damn spoilers for months now.


The Shiny:
Sam appearance. yay.
Leoben or rather Head!Leoben scenes! I really loved CKR in his scenes with KS. Their up against the painty wall sex was uber hot.
Laura sighting! With Adama!
I really dig the Oracles.
I know we have been building up slowly over season 3 to destroy Kara and have her take a dive off the deep end. But this was just painful to watch. Yet fascinating to see how/why she is frakked up in the first place.
Gun Camera! wheee. Pilots!
Hotdog all concerned over Kara's wet dreams of Leoben. heh. I have much love for Hotdog.


The Shrugs:
The bonus scene. whatever. Would have been cooler if we had a cozy scene with Bill and Laura.


The Frakked:
Is she really dead? Is this the last we see of Leoben in all his streamy glory? Why couldn't it be Cally?
Still no Jake sighting.


Overall, I loved this episode. Now, I know Kara cannot be dead. After all, why would Cylons and Oracles both say she has a destiny, and then have her go and blow up over a planet. Seems kind of a waste if you ask me. I think she is transcended or..... she actually ejected from the viper before the big boom. We did see her hand hovering over the eject handle. And, we did see the Cylon heavy raider from Lee's cockpit as it flitted through the clouds in front of Kara. I don't think he saw it though. oops, my bad, he did see it. I had a small memory lapse. So.....it is feasible that Leoben was in the heavy raider and Kara ejected and he rescued her. And RDM and Co. will frak with us and leave KS off the credits till next season. Because she will be back... I refuse to believe she is gone. yeah.

God, I hope she's not dead. I'd had a feeling, at the beginning of the episode, that they were killing her (don't know why, I hadn't read/heard any spoilers). But I was sitting there bawling at the end of the episode, with my hubby laughing at me for being a dork. He's of the mindset that there's no way they'd kill her off - that they went to all that work to establish that she has a "special destiny", there's no way she's just going to goo piff above a planet.

But god, the angst this is causing!

*momentarily distracted by the fact that your header is the wallpaper on my PC at work*

I don't think Kara ejected, per se, but I don't think she's dead, either. Leoben told her that it was time for her to see what lies between life and death, so that's where she is until sometime in s4. And I believe that's the same place D'Anna kept visiting on her way from suicide to resurrection.

Death = fact of life

Death =\= destiny

BSG may have dropped some threads in the past, but that's a pretty frakkin' huge thread to drop by having Kara simply be dead.
