WHAT. I CAN'T EVEN.
Mar. 19th, 2010 10:37 pmDANIEL GRAYSTONE, YOU ARE GONNA DIE.
LIKE OKAY, I GOTTA LOVE THE MORAL GRAYNESS OF HIS CHARACTER. BUT SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE HELL DID HE THINK HE WAS DOING? PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS TO "PROVE" THAT ZOE STILL EXISTS IN THE CENTURION? THAT SHE STILL IS INSIDE THE MCP?
IF HE TRULY BELIEVED THAT HIS DAUGHTER'S AVATAR WAS STILL INSIDE THE ROBOT, WHY DID HE DO ALL THOSE THINGS? I KNOW IT WAS TO PSYCH HER OUT IF SHE WAS BEING DISOBEDIENT AND GETTING HER TO TALK TO HIM - BUT THAT WAS TAKING IT TOO FRAKKING FAR. WAY WAY TOO FRAKKING FAR.
THIS IS THE DOWNFALL OF EVERYTHING. YOU TREAT THE MACHINE WITH RESPECT YOU ASSHOLE, NOT PUSH ITS LIMITS TO YOUR LIKING!
MY CYLON-LOVING SIDE IS SO ANGERED RIGHT NOW. MORE THAN EVER ESPECIALLY SINCE WE KNOW ZOE IS IN THERE.
SHE'S A TOUGH GIRL, BUT GODDAMN IF THIS IS GOING TO FUEL HER RAGE AND DISTRUST OF DANIEL EVEN MORE BECAUSE OF WHAT HE DID.
THIS SHOW. I JUST. OMG. ANYONE THAT CONTINUES TO NITPICK IT AFTER THIS JUST NEEDS TO STFU AND GTFO BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW JACKSHIT.

Date: 2010-03-21 01:32 am (UTC)I really love the direction they're going with his character because although this excuses nothing with what he did it is leading us to the inevitable. On one hand I want to shake him and go LEAVE ZOE ALONE! because what the hell Daniel? But on the other hand, I want him to push her over the limit so she can finally snap and it's leaving me with all these excited feelings for what we KNOW is going to come.
This episode really was very BSG-esque, I agree. The use of psychological torture just to get to know the truth. They are hitting the darkened morally gray areas very well, and it's like I like Daniel but I dislike him at the same time for doing what he did, and yet I can't wait to see Zoe go off on him. It'll be fantastic. :D
