It said "To Be Continued..." so I continued haha. Surprise on two episode this week even though I told you all I wouldn't start that until next week :) "Act of Contrition" surprised me. Not because of what happened (though the abrupt ending definitely left me shaken), but because of how quietly heavy it was. Guilt and grief weighed this episode down. And Kara? She's been such a huge force of nature, but here we saw a completely different side of her. The cracks in her Godly armor. Not in a way that weaken her. But in a way that makes her that much more real. I felt a lot while watching this. And even though it is a military sci-fi show at its core, it never forgets to show that these are people. Hurting, haunted, trying their best under impossible pressure. The last few minutes of this episode left me holding my breath and I had to immediately queue up the next one. See you there! Thank you for your support on Patreon!Relax and enjoy 🍿🌿LINK: https://youtu.be/JsHge61abEQI watched this on Amazon Prime

Oh shit both episodes drop back to back! I at least thought you would wait like 30 mins to an hour to drop episode 5. That To be continued is soooo mean cause how the hell can you not start the next one up immediately you know! So some trivia on this episode: The opening bit where a drone accidentally breaks loose from a storage rack and spontaneously ignites is based on a real life incident aboard the USS Forrestal where a missile accidentally ignited and hit several planes on the flight deck. So this episode borrows a story from the OG show where after half the pilots get radiation sickness Apollo and Starbuck have to train female cadets. The actor who plays Hotdog is Edward James Olmos’ (Commander Adama) son Bodie Olmos. The red paint Apollo knocks over in the beginning of the ep is a foreshadowing of the deaths that are about to happen on the flight deck. Edit: You get it!!!! Even though it’s a Sci-Fi space show it’s really at the end of the day a show about humanity and how we acknowledge what being a human is. I love how philosophical this show is! You probably know this already but I just wanna make sure…. The part at the beginning was NOT a flashback! It was happening in real time. This show is actually really good about not confusing you when it is a flashback cause it’s got that white hue over it! So whenever you see that white hue it’s a flashback.

There goes Kali, spoiling us again. Thank you for the double drop!

Your viewers will LOVE that you posted both episodes together! THANK YOU! There are a few “To be continued” pairs of episodes throughout the series, and at least one or two three-part. it’s always frustrating to have to wait a week for the “continued” part when it’s such a cliffhanger! You mentioned the quality of the music in this series—the miniseries set the stage with emotional music by composer Richard Gibbs assisted by Bear McCreary. When the show continued as a series, Bear McCreary continued as composer. He is known for his use of a huge variety of ethnic instruments, Scottish-sounding melodies, and heavy drums and percussion. Among many other credits, McCreary is also known for the beautiful music in the Scottish time-travel series “Outlander” (which Battlestar showrunner Ronald D. Moore is also doing) as well as the amazing music for the most recent two “God of War” computer games.

What an amazing episode of television. Close to perfection. The confession scene between Starbuck and Adama was just too good.

One of the things that I really love about this series so far, which you also mentioned in your description, is how complex, flawed, and *real* these characters feel. So much so that we're only on episode 4 and already having episodes completely themed around personal backstories, and the weight that is being carried. You mentioned something in your outro that really got me thinking, about Lee and Adama's reactions to Starbuck's confession. With Lee obviously being more understanding, and I guess you could say nice. It's easier for Starbuck to take, but it really didn't help her with anything. She continued carrying that guilt, and it was impacting her decision making. Yet Adama, with a raw and unfiltered response, made her feel the magnitude of what she had done. And it was harder for her to take, but it set her on the right path Also have to quickly mention how much I loved your intro on this one! You summarized the themes of contrition so well and how they related to all the characters and situations in this series. Thank you for always taking the time to share your thoughts in depth through the intros / outros!

Let that be a lesson, folks - ALWAYS CHECK YOUR RATCHET-STRAPS! When I was working nuclear security, I had a friend who got seriously injured / maimed by a microwave, of all things, that was ratchet-strapped to a shelf in a gun tower. The strap failed, the entire shelf assembly collapsed, and the microwave landed on my friend's arm. You gotta check those straps regularly and toss or repair any frays!

Of course! I couldn't stop when it hit me with the "To Be Continued" hahaha

I wasn't surprised at all when I found out that Bear McCreary is responsible for the emotional and beautiful music in this series! I absolutely LOVED his music from God of War and still listen to it! He's such a talented artist and I'm so glad I get to experience more of his work through this awesome show! Glad you loved the back to back episodes on this one! I'll keep that in mind for the future and be sure to stick episodes like these together! I can't bear to wait a whole week either haha

My husband used to race late model stock cars and YES always, ALWAYS check those straps!

One of my favorite acted scenes of the whole show is Starbuck's confession to Adama. You can just see the pain and rage just boiling behind Adama's eyes. And that very quiet, "walk out of this cabin while you still can," was absolutely chilling. You can see it just broke her. It hurts more from him because she does see him as a father figure. Not that she didn't care about Lee when she confessed to him, but his rejection wouldn't hit her as hard as the Commander's. Hate that I missed your reactions last week, but catching up now!
