It did really drive it home that all that was really happening was more rushing from place to place at one hundred miles an hour.<BR/><BR/>Where are these people saying that Gaeta is a baddie? If that's the case, talk about hypocrisy; just when a character gets a chance to do something really interesting people start baying for his blood (cf. Tory).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4505812700967330296.post-40508029505571332612009-01-28T15:17:00.000+00:002009-01-28T15:17:00.000+00:00To be fair, I really enjoyed the Lost season opene...To be fair, I really enjoyed the <I>Lost</I> season opener when I watched it.

(Of course I'm delighted he has more screen time) Unless you have seen the webisodes, Gaeta's slow descent would appear to be strangely accelerated. I am also horrified at all the people saying what a baddie he is. Tigh is the only person who attracts more of my sympathy than Gaeta. I bet he doesn't get the special Adama I-like-you-so-lets-foreget-the-insubordination/mutiny deal that everyone else seems to receive. Back in that airlock for poor Felix it would seem. :(Chemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05608504177967398816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4505812700967330296.post-72863071631599024732009-01-28T11:09:00.000+00:002009-01-28T11:09:00.000+00:00So say we all.

Sure, it was slow, and talky, and not in the slightest bit action-packed, but it was an <I>essential</I> episode that finally dealt with the fleet's responses to the events of the last two or three episodes. Anything less would have been a criminal neglection of logic and common sense.<BR/><BR/>The Nicky/Tyrol/Hotdog subplot was a bit annoying from my perspective, as it was quite transparently an exercise in writing themselves out of a corner they had painted themselves, but at least it's out of the way now.<BR/><BR/>The politics aspect was brilliantly handled, precisely because everyone's responses made so much sense from their perspective. You may have noticed that I'm having an extended argument on the SFX forum with someone about why Adama and co. don't lock up/airlock the Final Five, and I suspect that the consequences of such a sequence of events might be played out very soon...<BR/><BR/>All this, and despite the episode's low-key nature, we had some of the best lines and moments for a long while; Baltar's 'we're not children; well, obviously you're a child- there are children here'; Tyrol's pronoun confusion and Tigh's weary contempt at it; Cottle's love of deathsticks; the whole of the exchange between Gaeta and Thrace; Roslin's very human relinquishing of responsibility and intention to live for the moment; and so on and so forth.<BR/><BR/>It just makes me baffled and confused that so many people are complaining that they didn't enjoy it, and doubly confused that said people seemed to love the first two episodes of season 5 <I>Lost</I> to death...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
