A Disquiet Follows My Soul
25 January 2009
Just watched the 2nd episode of Battlestar Galactica season 4.5, which from Wikipedia I see is titled “A Disquiet Follows My Soul.” This episode seemed to skip over obvious plot points I wanted them to get to — but that’s nothing new to BSG — and mostly raised questions: What’s the timing of this in relation to The Face of the Enemy (the webisode thing)? Important because of the growing role that Felix Gaeta is playing. Sure, the overarching theme after discovering Earth is that things are falling apart, but what’s up with Cara Thrace and that argument with Felix Gaeta? When the episode doesn’t focus on Starbuck, she usually baffles me. What did they say about a Cylon getting killed? At the top, we kind of received confirmation about the gender of, and therefore we got confirmation about the actual identity of, the 12th Cylon, didn’t we? Finally, did I miss a step in the relationship between the President and the Admiral, or is this the episode where they finally let us know what’s been going on? Or is this the first time it’s happened between them?!
As a side note, I’ve discovered quizzes on SciFi.com that actually help explain things.
In all, this episode took some weird turns and might even be dissatisfying. Guess the episode is well titled. I hope that in a week or two it will make more sense, and my soul will settle down.
