I may be deeply in love with Rekha Sharma now...

[lyssie]

at NYCC, she said:

Sharma recalled that Tory originally had no backstory, but that she got to be a part of creating it with Ron Moore. As for her crying during sex incident, the actress says that scripter Michael Angeli knew someone once who did that, so Sharma somehow wound up "carrying that torch." Her personal choice regarding that scene was to frame it as her not being happy to be in bed with "the guy who ruined her life on New Caprica."

Which is made more awesome by Trucco then leaning over and noting that Tory didn't cry when sexing Anders, to which Sharma replied "HELL NO".

Baltar is quite a downgrade from Anders. No wonder Tory cried like she was in bed with Michael Angeli. :D

At least Baltar had shaved.

Damn, though, now I'm trying to remember who was telling me about the running theory that Baltar actually sucks in bed...

[abates.livejournal.com]

I always kinda assumed from his personality alone that if there was a movie title to describe Baltar's lovemaking, it would be "Gone in 60 Seconds".

LOL. You sort of redeemed Tory in my eyes. I kind of like her again.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

yaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Cloning, it will save lives!

I'm pleased to find out Sharma is awesome. I already liked Tory, but. Man.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

You know, I was trying to recast the Baltar seduction scene as being Anders going after him and not Tory (because I was rescuing her from the patriarchal system trying to slash Baltar/Anders for a friend) and it struck me--as it should have when it was Tory, too--that it's pretty fucked up for anybody, especially people from NC, to be sleeping with Baltar.

Good to know the show's writers had no real reason for her crying other than amusement at an ex-girlfriend. *sigh* But you have helped me fangirl Rekha Sharma a little more, so thanks for that. :)

So say we all. :)

Sam is properly horrified in that "Baltar has been more places than Kara" way. *is too sleepy to be polite*

Good to know the show's writers had no real reason for her crying other than amusement at an ex-girlfriend.

I've long-considered most of the women written various ways for this exact reason.

*sigh* But you have helped me fangirl Rekha Sharma a little more, so thanks for that. :)

Good! She should be loved and adored.

[cynthia-arrow.livejournal.com]

Oh, but it's okay for Sam to frak Hot Dog? *is too amused at Sam's horrification (whore-ification?) to quibble too much over your logic* ;)

(Hell, I don't know if I can do it anyway. I don't know if I buy any chemistry there. But I'm duty-bound to try.)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Dude, Hot Dog's just a pilot. Baltar's Baltar, and even Kara is now going "...ew, what the frak was I thinking?"

Btw, if you succeed, Kara wants mocking rights.

[cynthia-arrow.livejournal.com]

I was thinking more of the Hot Dog's a (fanon) slut thing. But, yeah, frakking Baltar then is way less heinous than frakking him now.

Kara will have to get in line behind me for mocking rights, let me tell you. :)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Oooooh. Yeah, I guess so? I still tend to see Baltar as worse. Hrm.

She might fight you for 'em. (although, man, if he does bang Baltar, I want an outtake/extra of Kara mocking him)

[raincitygirl.livejournal.com]

Ooooooo-kay. Yanno, I could see this potentially happening (because weird shit does happen in relationships) and I can even see him writing it in (because writers are kind of known for mining RL for inspiration). However, what kind of moron actually TELLS their co-workers that their partner at the time started crying while they were having sex? Particularly a co-worker who will then proceed to blab the news to hundreds of fans at a convention. Does it not occur to him that it does not put him in a very flattering light?

Oh, wait, Angeli.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAH. YES.

Her personal choice regarding that scene was to frame it as her not being happy to be in bed with "the guy who ruined her life on New Caprica.

That's actually how I always took the scene...

what really happened was Tory had a girlfriend who did that and used it as an excuse to when he asked why she was crying.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*snerk*

[wiliqueen.livejournal.com]

Totally how I read it. Which helped with the ALL kinds of skeevy it was when she wound up on her back, as she had specifically said she was not going to do AND had confirmed was not asked of her.

I'm a bit disturbed by the fact that Tory seems to be getting exponentially hotter as she gets crazier. And she was not exactly wallpaper to start with.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

She is getting hotter. Siiiigh. Her hair is so pretty. And, and, I already knew she was kinda ruthless, but seeing it is a beautiful thing.

[mamaboolj.livejournal.com]

I already liked her, but this makes me like her even more. I *hated* that she cried, and my interpretation is the same as Rekha's. And, yeah. No comparison between Baltar and Sam and how I'd feel about having sex with either...

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

The crying was just, ARGH. I wanted to throw things. And then I comforted myself with the thought that, maybe Baltar's just that bad in bed.
