sff: can I have some warm air up here? damn
BSG: ....They need to change the name to Bored-to-sleep Galactica.
First, though. OMG. Caught an episode of Wolverine and the X-Men and cackled. DOMINO. <3 (YOU KNOW NATE PUT HER UP TO THAT SHIT)
Second. DUCK DODGERS. Martian Queen > Laura Roslin. Trufax.
So. They spent an entire episode talking down to the audience, telling us How Things Would Be... That's nice. You people have NINE episodes left to tell your story, and you give us an entire episode of pointless filler.
Everyone who says BSG is good at story-telling? SHUT THE FUCK UP. This episode proves that is a lie. And you're all fucking delusional.
1. Kara. Two seconds of her, and she's still bad-ass. And Sam, by association, though Kara didn't jump to Sparky's bait about her toaster husband. So. Vague hope there. (you know what would have been a good follow-up scene? Kara slamming into the bunk room and picking a fight with Sam. That would have been in some way interesting)
2. CAPRICA. Hey, look. They remembered she exists! Only because she's growing a baby, of course. And Saul is the babydaddy.
3. Speaking of babydaddies, how many times can Ron and co toot the horn of "Women Can Never Be Faithful"? Does it get boring for them to have to come up with new ways to trash their female characters? Poor Cally. Even being raped up the ass by an airlock wasn't good enough for her. Also, in case any of you missed it, Cally was going to kill Nicky.... (wait for it).... because he was half-Cylon. But then again, she knew he wasn't. Ron can't even remember his own canon! (he wrote this episode)
4. Sparky. Oh, Felix. You really have hated the toasters for a long time. Poor baby. And then there's the time Sam Anders shot you in the leg (hey, he's a toaster) so that Kara Thrace could start a treaty with the Cylons. That must stick in your fucking craw. Pity it makes you really boring and one-dimensional.
5. GAIUS. You started a riot! <3
6. Anyone notice how these Strong Female Characters the show is supposed to have did so much in this episode? Anyone? I know they shot themselves and gave up last week. So, this week, they... um.... they... I'm drawing a blank here. I'm pretty sure I just watched an episode that is actually more damaging to female characters than any given slasher flick. At least the women in those run around and scream a lot. And. Have lines.
7. You know, when Athena had lines, I started swearing. Women getting lines in BSG usually = dead at the end of the episode. I was worried for Ishay (who, btw, will kill Caprica or Caprica's baby [which is a boy, obvsly]), too.
8. There was way too much of Adama in this episode. OMG. SO FUCKING BORING. I was worried we'd actually have to watch him take a shit. (which would have at least been vaguely entertaining)
9. Helo had lines. That was nice. He also needs a haircut again. Sam only exists as Kara's boogeyman, though.
10. Roslin. She was pretty much the best thing about this episode, after Kara (sry, I have my preferences). The jogging was awesome, and I was sad that Kara wasn't with her setting the pace (I know, letting the women speak to each other might cause the universe to end).
11. Mom/Dad. Hey! Sex! Finally? Meh. I'm pretty sure they've been frakking all along, but the confirmation is nice.
Death watch (includes tally from last week):
Female: 1
Male: 0
Unknown: 3 (1 Cylon, 2 marines, I'd bet on the Cylon being an Eight)
eta: D'Anna: dead? Alive? AWOL.
