Questions for the Universe

Was that Dave Franco as one of Rusty’s pledge brothers in last night’s Greek?

It definitely was this guy as Cappie’s Big Brother. Even though IMDB tries to deny it.

Right? Or am I losing my mind?

Battlestar Galactica season premiere: Reunited and it feels so good

Well, it finally arrived!

Welcome to Awkwardville. Population: 3.

After a year of waiting, Battlestar finally returned with new episodes. (See how I’m pretending like I was waiting this whole time too? Even though I only just finished the third season…)

In any case, over in space things are just as tense as ever. Kara’s all “I’m not dead, sucka” and Lee’s all “my love for you is complicated” and Anders is all “you’d be cool if I were a cylon, right Kara?” and Tigh is all “Arrrrrrrrrrr!” I don’t necessarily have a large, overarching opinion on the premiere other than “Battlestar — yay!” but

  • Nice try on the Six Feet Under-ian fake-out of Tigh hallucinating that he shot Adama in the eye. While I don’t necessarily think Adama won’t get shot in the eye by the end of the season, it’s highly unlikely people are going to die within the first three episodes of the season or so. For the record, my bet on the first person to “die” is Anders.
  • The ending scene is very “to be continued-y” but I imagine the resolution to the Thrace vs Roslin showdown will involve a lot of combative dialogue and won’t have a lot of action. Meanwhile, though, looks like Roslin’s guards need to step it up a little bit. Kara didn’t seem to have too much trouble just strutting into the presidential quarters. Like Roslin just told the guards “Go ahead and get some dehydrated ice cream, I’ll just be in here with a damp compress on my eyes. I’ll be fine. I’m the president.”
  • I still can’t believe Chief is a cylon. Everybody else, sure. They keep saying “we’ve been this way since the beginning” and I’m trying to figure out what that’s a metaphor for. Since I haven’t been watching Battlestar as it aired, some of the broader social commentaries have been a little harder to recognize.
  • Gaius Baltar as David Koresh — unexpected, but it seems as good an option to do with the character as any. Seeing as how he can’t exactly just rejoin the gang.
