“Throughout the episode we watched Dee struggle to cope with the death of everything she had dreamed of. We saw her contemplate life with Lee and ultimately decide that that life would never be the loving, equal pairing she hoped for, we saw her move inexorably towards the decision to take her life. And it was unbelievably painful to watch. Painful because Dee was one of BSG’s few genuinely good characters certainly, but painful also because her actions, while shocking, were also entirely in character. Watching her final moments you felt that she could truly conceive of no other way out and, perhaps more importantly, that her actions were terribly, movingly human.”
This is a great little piece about the recent episodes of BSG. Worth a read.
