Mrowr.
Adama’s last act was to invite the 268s into a glorious future he
hadn’t written yet, and now he’s been cockblocked from sketching out
the rest of the story, from building the new Will to Meaning for
everybody, to get everybody out alive like any good Adama tries to do.
Can Adama be the Lie he used to be? Can he rally the tatters? If he
dies, can Laura build a world around his memory? If he lives, can he
talk the people into remembering there’s a future? He spends this
episode like the cat in the box, neither living nor dead, and we’re
right back at depression, the way you get out of it alive: can you
commit yourself to that half-future long enough, on faith, to find your
way out of the maze? Can you forget Christmas and Easter, the way Cally
and Dee forgot to do, and have faith in the end of the story? Stop
waiting and move forward into light.
