Anastasia Dualla is dead. She is dead. She is dead, and I cried. I expected to cry every episode until the end of the series. . . but I did not know this would be because D died. It was fairly traumatic. She shot herself in the head. After she was all smiley and happy and "want[ing] to hold onto this feeling as long as [she could.]" So, she killed herself because probably she thought she would never be happy again after that moment. Because everything in Galactica is Frakked up. I didn't cry at first, or through the commercial break. . . I think that was my shock and denial stage. But then after the commercial when the Adamas were with her corpse and they were all sad I felt like I was with her corpse too and I got all sad. And then Admiral Adama went all "I failed you" on the corpse. . . and Edward James Olmos is just too good of an actor to pull that shit! It just makes you want to die too! You can't just watch Adama be all broken and not cry a lot. But I was already crying before he said that, so it just got worse.
Moving on: Starbuck found her dead body. (Told you she was dead.) But it was oh-so much more depressing than that. Leoben ran away from her. Abandoned her. Said he was wrong about everything. And this is AFTER she admitted to him that she is the harbinger of death, leading humanity (person and cylon alike probably) to its end. So, she confided this to the crazy model that IMPRISONED her on New Caprica, appeared to her prior to his death (well, really an angel of god(s) appeared as Leoben), found her in the middle of multiple galaxies, etc. And she learned to trust him, and yet he ABANDONS HER at her most vulnerable moment!
So, we knew that she was dead and she would find her body, but we did not know how isolated, alienated, and estranged she would be.
Next on the list, earth is the cylon home world. We knew that already. (But really it's not because Kobol is the people and cylon "home world.") BUT there are centurion versions and humanoid versions. So the question remains: which was the thirteenth tribe? I would imagine the humanoid cylons were the ones leaving Kobol. Earth was devastated in a nuclear holocaust. (All this has happened before and all this will happen again.) It seems more plausible that the humanoid cylons created centurions who rebelled and created a holocaust than that the centurions created humanoid cylons. . . right? Additionally, a LONG LONG time ago, like between season 3 and 4.0 we heard that RDM was creating a story line of the centurions rebelling against the humanoid models. I eventually resigned myself to believing that was when the 2s, 6s, and 8s removed the inhibitors from the centurions who proceeded to blast away the 1s 4s and 5s. But now I think that that is what happened on Earth, so we will hear more about it. Or, the other 12 tribes killed them. Who knows?
So here's what happened. Kobol existed and the humans either created cylons, or they were created by gods. I don't really know. The cylons began to worship one jealous god and the humans worshipped the rest and they all had a big fit about it. So then there was "the blaze," and the 13th tribe (cylons) were able to leave semi-peacefully or maybe they were chased away by the other 12 and establish themselves on earth. Or maybe the blaze happened after the 13th tribe left because they left before the other 12. . . but maybe they were chased away and then came back to nuke them. (Also, isn't it strange that they are called 13th instead of 1st?)
I am unclear about why 5 of them are being reincarnated and not the rest. Probably that will clear itself up at some point in time. But, it remains the final 5 have been reincarnating since at least they first went to the algae planet. (Temple of the five bit, ya know?)
So, the other crazy part is this: Adama lied to the fleet. He said the 13th tribe was in the same situation they were: ordinary men and women looking for a home in the middle of the universe. Well, he knew they were actually cylons because Baltar already told him such, and also, the cylons maybe were hiding from the other 12 colonies. (Which I guess would make them more similar since they are still hiding/running from Cavil.) So, the point is this: the secrets are still not over. They just keep secrets from the fleet all the time like it's a fun game or something.
OK, so these 5 are constantly being reincarnated. (I'm not saying resurrecting because they are probably all reborn since they age and such.) So, they all remember their lives in NYC. (Modern day NYC, which means Galactica takes place 2000 years from now according to Baltar's dating of the nuclear wasteland known as Brooklyn.) AND Chief was drawn to the place right where he died, Tory and Anders were apparently in love, and (the last scene of the episode) Saul and Ellen were obviously in love. (Yes, it was Ellen.) Now, the flashback Saul has to 2000 years ago is of Ellen dying, but telling him it is all in place so that she will be reborn and they will be together again. So, Ellen knew it was in place for them to resurrect/reincarnate/be reborn/whatever, but I don't get why she knew this but not everyone does it? OR do they? How did they get back to the other 12 colonies and come to believe they were human? NUTTY. Even MORE nutty. . . Caprica is pregnant with Ellen or something. That is my bet. She has to be reborn somehow. Seems like a good way to get back.
Also, Chief doesn't have this eternal love interest thing. (Remember, when Starbuck was dead, Anders and Tory were frakking and what not.) SO, Boomer? I hope so. I always felt so sad for him that they couldn't be together and then Helo gets Athena. :(
OK, so D is dead. . . and for all intents and purposes so is D'Anna. She just left herself on earth to die. . . to get off this merry-go-round of all happening before and all happening again. Which is kind of disgusting when you consider she will probably die of dehydration or radiation poisoning. But in the first of these eleven hours left, they killed off two supporting characters. There is not much time 'til they are all gone! I do not doubt it.
BTW, they tricked us with D. They said she had an important role to play in the second half of the season. . . and then she goes and dies. Well, that was important as a representation of the mental state of the people and showing us Adama's breaking points. . . it was trickery at it's fullest.
It starts again in a minute. I will watch it again for further evidence. Bye.
Also, I would be willing to guess this is completely incoherent
And I also cannot believe D's death did not leak so I could've been somewhat prepared for it! (Also, there're like no women left in the CIC.)
Love,
CRAZY PEOPLE WHO ARE SAD.
