Wow, that was quick. Excellent work H, thanks.
I wanted to post about the latest episode, really. Episode 2:3, ‘Fragged’. You're warned, but I'm not really about the *plot* details yet anyway.
Because I am loving the look of this show right now: After Lee last week, the makers seem to have realised that covering their hunky young men in blood is a really good look for them. And it so is: Crashdown looked amaaaazing this episode, painted as he was a vivid shade of red. As did Six, in the first shot where she appears, her blonde hair gleaming so brightly, standing out against the really amazingly saturated green of Kobol. Last season I has thought that maybe Kobol was just looking so intense because pretty much all of the series had been gunmetal grey. But, no. Whatever they’re doing, it still looks absolutely incredible. Super-intense green, bright red, shining gold-blonde.
Best moment: The Chief looking on the verge of tears at the end. Not a whoop, or a salute, or even a word spoken, just a moment where he’s having real trouble not blubbing everywhere.
Delighted to see the religious theme back properly, and going into overdrive. Galactica seeming like a ship on the edge of mania, the way the Quorum grabbed onto the idea of Roslin-as-prophet with both hands. Literally.
And fuck, that guy playing Tigh seems to have a retractable chin, I’ve never seen anything like it. Sometimes he’s got a skull and jaw and everything, sometimes he looks just like a worm wearing a suit. It’s a neat trick. |
