BSG Music Trivia (spoiler)



Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a great notion
To jump into the river and drown.

Well, Irene, good-night, Irene, good-night
Good night, Irene, good night, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams.


--Good Night, Irene (by Leadbelly - thanks to [livejournal.com profile] twistedchick for the attribution!)

I'd noticed the episode title, "Sometimes a Great Notion," when the new BSG episode first popped up on the TiVo's list of programs to record ten days ago, and even got the song stuck in my head for a couple of days. Then I forgot. When I saw the episode again--okay, a well-chosen title.

Lots of cool stuff this ep, but very sad, too. I like the mystery with Kara. Leoben being freaked out added an interesting layer. TODS figured out that Dualla was going to kill herself; I was startled but I can't say I was completely surprised. The scene where she finds the jacks and starts picking them up like you do when you play the game reminded me of the recurring nightmare of the children on the playground in Terminator 2.
