BSG S3 3x01 & 3x02 thoughts...

Well, well, well.

Well.

Loved the Kara thread; thought playing the munchkin was an unbearably apt and cruel thing to do. Am interested in where Leoben gets his hardon for Kara – Stockholm Syndrome? I don’t get the little hand hold at the end – this is not the act of a woman who has killed Leoben five times in a row over four months.

*loved* Sharon and Adama. Loved it.

Not too keen on Lee. He is a deeply moral man and for him to just give up and be someone who can only function when he has a war doesn’t do justice to the person I thought he was.

Love Tigh, he’s hard and obsessed and utterly focussed. I don’t like him as a person but the character is great.

Interested in the Cylon take on what their mission is. It sounds like Boomer and Six managed to pitch the end of immediate hostilities but didn’t in any way manage to convey a vision where humans and Cylons actually talk to each other. The Cylons turned up as an invading force and seem to have no concept of humans as potential equals. In which case what on earth are they trying to achieve?

Is the vision of human/Cylon relations where humans behave like Centurions?

They need Adama desperately.

Feel a lot of the war commentary is a bit on the cheap side. We already know this, guys, we’ve watched the Americans doing it for years. We know people are stupid and pretty and short-sighted and that it doesn’t work.

Loved the Roslyn/Zarek exchange

[grin] We could Skype you in for the conversations! So long as we start watching around the same time it would be easy.

It was slightly weird, I get totally hyped up about Supernatural but after Occupation and Precipice we were hot to discuss but also exhausted!

Ha! That'd be awesome. We should try that sometime, really, because it has potential for hilarity.

I'm trying to get into Supernatural since everyone I know is into it, but I've seen a handful (three?) episodes and so far just don't see the appeal. I fear that something in my brain is broken.

Woo! We'll let you know what time/when we're watching the next installment. Might not be this weekend, we have [livejournal.com profile] japester back in town and there are partying plans afoot.

[livejournal.com profile] ascetic_hedony showed me the pilot to Supernatural and I thought 'eh,' then he played me a couple of episodes and I went 'hmm,' then I got sick, mainlined the entire first season in about 2 days and fell passionately in love. I'm totally in it for the angst ridden brother interactions, it fills me with glee watching them love each other, so much, so badly, and yet not.

I'm not going to be here this weekend anyhow -- I'm taking a trip back to Ohio to see my parents and granddad before winter comes, because a meter of snow and a seven hour drive are not a fun combination. (Plus no one has time off then, and I have to move on January, so...)

Maybe for 304, though? That'd be seriously the best thing ever.

Excellent - we'll talk details leter in the week?

That would, I think, be fucking excellent.
