[Episode Discussion] 1.09 Unity Day

[tassosss]

How this works: for those that want to do a rewatch of the show, we have a weekly discussion post where you can put reactions, links to old reaction posts, questions, thoughts, squee, joy, headshaking and anything else that strikes you. I'll have a prompting question or two to get things going if you don't know what to say but want to join in.

BEWARE! This is a spoiler zone! Unless someone requests a spoiler-free post for each episode, assume spoilers for all aired episodes through the end of season 2.

***

Let's celebrate Unity Day! We meet more characters and the new lines of alliance shake out within the delinquents. First impressions? Thoughts on the peace negotiations?

I haven't rewatched recently, but the thing I remember most about this episode was how amused I was that it was basically The 100's version of BSG's "Colonial Day" episode, down to like, every detail. Even some of the exposition shots were the same. Like if until then I felt the show was lifting from BSG in a more... discrete way? This was like a giant flag to BSG fans - here's your new scifi show, all aboard!

I can't remember BSG well enough (I watched but wasn't fannish about it), but well, steal from the best. :)
