SFF: *drinks more irish cream*

BSG: I missed the beginning.
Sarah Jane thingie: ...SO NOT THE TARGET AUDIENCE.

Man. Ok. HEY LOOK. CYLON CIVIL WAR LIKE WE WERE PROMISED IN SEASON TWO. Took 'em fucking long enough.

Tory pulled a reverse Kara Thrace. All that's missing is Lee Adama, and for Zak to come back as a Cylon.

Man. Kara's stupid 'wrong way' shit is even more hilarious and dumb in context. STOP WITH THE BAD ACTING AND OVER-WROUGHTNESS PLEASE OMG.

Racetrack was hot and stripping, and they were playing strip triad! IT IS NOW CANON!

Lee's party was, um... ok?

But I'm amused at Helo leading the shots, and at Sam in the background, all hot and in his tanks. (what, I am totally allowed to be shallow).

Kara and Lee in her cell... wow. talk about talking past each other. *eyerolls* And of course they have to remind us of the Big Angsty Romance shit.

The Roslin and Adama scene was painful. In the good ouchie way where I wonder if they've ever had time to be this honest with each other. And the biggest problem is, they're both right and they're both wrong, and, ow. Also, MM KILLED ME AT THE END AND I HAD TO PICK UP THE CAT AND CUDDLE HER.

ALSO, HEY DAD, MOM HAD BILLY THERE LAST TIME, SO FUCK YOU.

Sam looked hot in uniform. So did Seelix.

Sidenote: where are they getting the cloth for new uniforms? OH WAIT. REPLICATORS. I forgot.

OH DEE. I love you, baby.

Tory. Gods. I love her and I think she's a little more broken than she thinks she is, and I'm... I'm kind of wondering how much of the One True God stuff is leaking past her natural atheism, and ouch. Next week is going to hurt so very much for her. And for me. And I feel this urge to write fic, but I'm not sure what or how or where to even begin--

And then Dad sends Kara off with a hand-picked crew. A crew of Helo, Sharon, Gaeta and Sam Anders, if the various promo photos are right.

*snicker*

Dad wants Kara to get laid.

ETA: With head!Gaius, Baltar now has a demon and an angel...

ETA2: Have caught the beginning, and the Kara scenes everyone keeps raving about are the most painfully shitty things I've ever forced myself to watch. Dear god. Can she go back to being dead now? I'd find her more interesting then.


Sarah Jane Smith...

Um. So not the target audience, and we figured that after the first thirty seconds. Sappy voiceover, new cute and adorable children moving in... NO. Don't think so.

And for those of you who keep saying that the kids are awesome and can do anything, while TW fails? That would be because it's a FUCKING KIDS SHOW. So fuck off.

Oh, Mom. Oh, DAD.

Sadly, no. That was me yelling at canon.

I liked Sarah Jane and it rocked where TW s1 failed. S2, however, is a completely different animal....

So, that's all I have to say on it. :) Besides, the SJA crew managed to "get the job done" as it were w/ less of the whole wangsting that went on in s1 of TW. (I wanted to kill them myself, they were so bloody whiny!)

TW s2 - ended up being a beast of a totally different color, rocked so very much so and left me crying at the end because I didn't spoil myself at all on it and kept wanting for the characters to all live at the end. (and/or be resurrected...)

Yeah, look. Don't try to convince me otherwise. I watched two minutes, total, and felt like I was watching a story written by a five year old.

It was boring, sappy, and stupid.

*sobs* Lyssie? Can we have Billy back? Please?

No. They're paying Katee Sackhoff by the enraged scream, so they can't afford him.

CURSES!

Man, I need to convince my mother to make me a Billy plushie. With a wee suit.

Hey, at least we got a mention of the big Arrow of Apollo thing where Roslin asked everyone to trust a crazy hunch and nearly tore apart the fleet over it.

*snorts*

Gah, so much over-writing in this ep. Made me flaily with frustration.

Yesss. I went and watched John Quixote. I required cleansing good crack.

Seelix was DAMN hot in that dress uniform.

...and... promo for next week... guh... gonna... I don't know if I'm gonna be able to watch.
ext_18106: (Default)

[identity profile] lyssie.livejournal.com 2008-04-12 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. I. I saw the promo when it first got accidentally played prior to the episode, and I went, "oh, fuck. Oh, Tim."

If nothing else, I can watch and tell you how bad it is?

[identity profile] timjr.livejournal.com 2008-04-12 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I think the current plan is watching it with alcohol.

I think I'm currently laying down bets on Cally actually -attacking- Tyrol, and that's what leads the 'final four' to airlocking her.

[identity profile] lyssie.livejournal.com 2008-04-12 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a good plan. *giggles* Oh, gods. Next week is going to cause so much Tory-bashing and Cally-bashing, as both sides come out to wank.

*cries* Why won't FW wank the stupid skiffy boards?

[identity profile] timjr.livejournal.com 2008-04-12 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
The Cally-bashing will be more vocal, as usual.

At least maybe they'll finally shut up after the episode.

[identity profile] lyssie.livejournal.com 2008-04-12 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
They've had more time to collect, this is true. But. Trust me when I say the Tory-bashing is already going on, and will continue to get worse as this season progresses.

Sadly, I doubt they'll shut up. Female character bashers don't stop just because the object of their hate is dead.

Maybe someone will let us kill people with our minds.

[identity profile] darth-hunter.livejournal.com 2008-04-12 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm a bit depressed about how utterly batshit and over-acted the season has been thus far. At least on the part of Kara. At least now she'll shut up about going the wrong way. At least.

And, if you're wondering where I've come from, I stumbled onto your FFnet fic, and read everything involving Kara/Sam, and somehow found your LJ page. And the fic is awesome, by the by.

I love KS, and I love Kara, but... I'm having issues, I guess, with the fact that Kara Thrace wouldn't be stupid enough to not get why they're suspicious of her. Kara is not a five-year-old child, who doesn't know why mommy doesn't want her putting her fingers on a hot stove. She's an adult who's had the exact same reaction to people who were suspected Cylons.

So, while I might flippantly say I wish she was dead, it's more that I expect so much more of her and... she's not delivering. Sigh.

Hah! Thank you =)

For more K/S fic, y'can always check out [livejournal.com profile] pyramidofdreams. Er, especially since I've been lax about updating (and the recent stealing of all my scene-break markers isn't helping the urge).

Agreed, but I have a bad feeling that a very good friend of mine and I will have to have a serious one-on-one discussion before next weeks episode. You may know my very good friend. He's from Tennessee. His name is Jack Daniels.

*laughs* No worries. And HAHAHAH. I will quite probably be drinking a lot of irish cream or tequila. It's a requirement for getting through BSG.

[identity profile] darth-hunter.livejournal.com 2008-04-13 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Well, last time I watched Battlestar drunk, I got up to cheer when there was a brief sex scene, and fell straight through the coffee table. But, I'm willing to sacrifice my ribs for my brain. The alcohol will take care of that quite nicely, I don't need my WTF drive to kick in at the same time.

*chokes and cracks up*

I've never had that sort of problem. I just get giggly as hell, and sleepy. And make horrible horrible jokes.

[identity profile] darth-hunter.livejournal.com 2008-04-13 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I was very, very drunk. Like...half bottle of Jack and quite a few screwdrivers, made of cheap vodka and even cheaper orange drink. Although, I do get some damn good fic ideas while intoxicated. I also break things.

Oh, I also cheer very loudly and obnoxiously whenever Anders gets some action.

(And I wonder why none of my friends watch TV with me anymore.)

My roommate is possibly tired of me watching Anders get action. Sigh. She would totally not watch BSG at all, but I am... an addict. Mostly.

[identity profile] darth-hunter.livejournal.com 2008-04-13 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I don't have a roommate until next year. So, for now, it's just underage drinking and watching Anders get sexified. Not so much Kara getting sexified by other people. I'm an Anders man until the end.

And there was also the time that I did a few dozen shots of Amaretto during SGA to get pumped for BSG. That was a fun episode to watch. The one where the Four were revealed. I LOL'ed at the irony of Kara frakking a cyclon and down I went. Fun night.

Depending on my mood, I'm ok with most other people sexing Kara (Athena/Kara, for instance, would make me happy). But, uh, Kara/Lee, no.

But Kara/Sam is the hottest of ALL, and so, y'know, that's where I devote most of my energy.

Doing shots during SGA is usually a good idea. It's the only way to survive the awful writing.

[identity profile] darth-hunter.livejournal.com 2008-04-13 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but, we're talking somewhere in the area of 20 or more. In the period of about 45 minutes. And I'm a big boy, so when I fall, I fall hard.

And, for the record, LJ has to be the most inefficient way to commumicate long thoughts.

And, yes, it does dull the pain of shitty writing.
