boomqueen: (Fab Four cylons)
[personal profile] boomqueen
How much do I love that the cast gave Jamie a standing ovation for his monologue!

Squeeeeeee: the writers have already fleshed out the first nine episodes of season 4 and have a really good idea of where all the major story arcs for the season are starting out. yay!!! And in that vein, they already have the back-stories for the final four cylons all figured out so that they work within the existing storyline of the show. I think that's definitely going to be one of the best parts of S4--especially exploration of the whole "rules that apply to existing cylons don't necessarily apply to the new ones" idea.

Dude, RDM is SUCH a boomer--I couldn't help giggling when he talked about the many ways he has tried to work "All Along the Watchtower" into a teevee show.

Best line of the podcast: The writers keep teasing each other with Tigh enters: "Whoaaaaaa."

Okay, but WTF: originally Kara was going to reappear in Lee's quarters as he runs to get his flight suit and helmet. But they decided that was too supernatural--how would she get in there on Galactica? So they shot a different version where he encounters her in the viper, outside Galactica. I would have a million more unanswerable questions to burden this hiatus with if they had stuck to that first idea.

And then RDM answered one of my biggest questions about Kara and Maelstrom: finding the way to earth fulfilled her destiny.

Which led into the most squee-worthy line of the podcast: Her death doesn't have meaning but her RESURRECTION does.
He didn't go into any of the details of whether this is a literal or figurative resurrection, but this means 1) she did die, 2) she was resurrected (somehow), and 3) most importantly--she is really there. She's not Head!Kara, not a ghost, but really there. Woot!

Back to the land of neverending homework now...

You know. I just kind of went against my spoilerphobic nature and clicked on your cut-tag, and I'm SO GLAD I DID. I had to know what he said in the podcast, and I'm ridiculously glad that Kara is corporeal! \o/ *high fives*

Her death doesn't have meaning but her RESURRECTION does.
:-D *beams* I love it, I love it, I love it! And I'm also delighted that finding Earth was her destiny, because that was what I was banking on and YAY yes, they delivered! Wheeeee!!

I read about the alternate ending in Lee's quarters over on [livejournal.com profile] wisteria_'s journal and now I have all these ridiculous scenarios running through my head of how that would have played out...

I'm so glad you looked too because the relief that she is definitely corporeal is just too good to pass up on. And it's not so much a spoiler as an...um..."clarification" of the ending. *winks*

Yes! The alternate ending seems like the perfect resource for some slightly AU pilot romance/pr0n during the hiatus. I'd love to see someone's version of how THAT conversation would have played out. "Don't mind me, Lee; I'm just sitting here in your room, all nonchalant and alive and stuff..." LOL!

And I'm more than willing now to extend her destiny arc just a little further to include showing the way to earth--not just finding it, but being the guide--as the fulfillment of her destiny. Kara as the one who knows where it is and can take them there (ties in nicely with [livejournal.com profile] nebakanezer's theory on Kara's destiny from the stuff from Maelstrom where the Aurora talisman was going to go on the front of Adama's ship as the figurehead, and now Kara will be leading the fleet as the figurehead).

Oh, for sure! I'm with you on the AU pilot romance/pr0n!

I love the whole Aurora theme and Kara as figurehead--I can imagine the exploration of that in Season 4 could be marvelous--and it would be great for Kara--she's been so mired in misery for the last season and a half!
