BSG: Revelations

megotelekI can't believe I forgot to post something! Well, this has been the craziest week EVER, so maybe that explains it. Also, my brain was oozing out of my ears at the 50-minute mark of the show.
I watched it twice, really! And I still don't really know where to start. The outing of the final four was extremely satisfying. Loved Tigh. And Lee cradling his poor broken father. And Kara's run through the ship (wasn't she...just on the hangar deck? Where are they keeping the zombie Viper, anyway?).
Not sure yet how I feel about the mysterious "Earth-signal" only the zombie Viper could hear. Also, I was busy squeeing over the choral music. In Latin, even! Yes, I made John rewind so I could listen to the choir again and again. According to Bear, it's called the "Diaspora Oratorio." Which I want the score to, and I want to somehow wheedle the Choral Society into performing it. Also, I want to find "The Collapse of Saint Francis" and perform it with an orchestra.
Ahem...back to the show. Was that Earth? I will feel horribly ripped off if the rumors are true and that is not really Earth ("they didn't show any continents!" "The constellations would match from the Alpha Centauri system!"). Unless I change my mind somehow in the next 9 months (which is always possible), I'm going to maintain that it was Earth - post-apocalyptic abandoned Earth.
I just...don't want them to come to an Earth that is already inhabited. That would be too...silly, I think. I mean, maybe they could do it if it was ancient-Greece Earth, but then that would mess with our timeline and would therefore be an alternate Earth...
It has to be Earth-of-the-future. I just don't know how they could do it with an inhabited Earth and not come off as jarring or absurd. I'm sure they'll find a way to prove me wrong, though, if this does turn out to be Not!Earth.
And after all that, I still felt kind of...let down by the episode. Earth felt very rushed and anticlimactic. Which...kind of makes me start thinking it isn't really Earth. How could they rush the event the show has been leading up to from the moment the first Cylon bombs went off on Caprica?
I know this has been really disjointed, but that's how the episode made me feel. And now, back to rewatch the series before the season picks up again (First quarter 2009? Really?!).
I will leave you with some good news, though: Two hours added to BSG finale and at least one BSG TV movie coming this year!
