And, uh, I'm getting quite interested in the Apollo and Roslin scenes. Which probably isn't a huge surprise.
It's Delenn/Lennier all over again, I tell you. And it just gets more so. Which is why I've been squeeing hysterically all over the internet. And I'll have lots more to say on the topic once you've watched to 2.6.
But for now: what sold me on the pairing were two lines from 2.1: "I didn't do it for you" (which was clearly not quite true, but very much what she needed to hear) and "I will make no attempt to free her" (which, if it was Apollo's phasing and not Tigh's, shows that this really is personal for him and not just political. Otherwise he'd be saying stuff about not attemting to interfere in the political process or whatever.)
Drowning baby Moses, but with baptism imagery at the same time?
Right, and because of the Moses imagery it looked like Adama could have been hiding the baby instead of killing her. It's protctive and creative and destructive all at once, and yeah, I think that says a lot about cylon theology.
