sff: the incoherent edition

BSG: I... got nothing.
Duck Dodgers: MARTIAN QUEEN > EVERYONE ELSE EVER. Still.

Holy shit. Holy shit, I have. I have like NOTHING to say. Except, I do. Sort of.

Fuck. I am so all over the place on this episode, it's not even funny--

1. Caprica telling Tigh to fucking stuff it, she can take care of herself, GODDAMN.

2. Hera!

3. Athena being all Rambo, and Helo being off somewhere safe.

4. ZAREK EXECUTED THE QUORUM. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. How short-sighted of him. GODSDAMMIT, MAN. This fleet, if fractured, is NOT going to survive, Tom. You needed them. Sure, you can spin it that a rogue Cylon got loose (in fact, I was a little surprised you didn't). I also... sort of worried about you bringing the quorum on board with you for that very reason. TOM. You are not a small child! You can't stamp your foot and go "I hate all of you, I won!" when there's no one left!

5. You all. You all know how much I loathe, detest, and HATE Romo Lampkin. Like. I find him a Mary Sue of the worst calibre and have since he first appeared. And I love and adore Mark Sheppard. BUT OMG. I NEVER KNEW I could love Romo. But he was all "Bitch,plz" at Zarek and Gaeta and Dad!!! <3 AND THEN AND THEN IN THE CORRIDOR AND. <3

6. Firing squad. OH DEAR. God, I hate Narcho. Just in case anyone was wondering.

7. Who is the random marine dude who let Chief go and then joined Team Cylon?

8. Oh, god, the bit with the grenade. LEE. Kara is right.

9. Roslin bitch-slapping the Cylons = AWESOME.

10. FUCK. NOT ENOUGH LEOBEN, YOU GUYS. Even if he was suddenly Mr. I have a radio... (ohshit, that isn't the one from Kara's crashed viper, is it?)

11. Chief! Good job on wrecking your ship! Dad did say once that you could do it. Now put it back together before the oxygen runs out.

12. Racetrack laughing at Zarek's jokes. :( DO NOT WANT.

13. HOTDOG. I LOVE YOU. I promise to try writing you more. And with the porns.

14. So, ok. I am. I am trying to be coherent about this bit. All non-Kara/Sam shippers? This is your time to go away. Because it's about to get capslocky.

Kara Thrace is not known for telling people she loves them.

Kara Thrace is mostly known for big fucking gestures, like rescuing their asses from Caprica, marrying them and getting matching tattoos. Also, hugging.

KARA THRACE TOLD EVERYONE TO LEAVE HER BEHIND WITH SAM AND THEN DRAGGED HIM TO COTTLE. Sure, Romo helped. But Kara did it, because Kara doesn't want him dead.

HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS. HAVE I MENTIONED WHAT IT'S LIKE SHIPPING CANON?

She was crying, she called him 'baby', she wouldn't leave him, she begged Romo to help her. Aaaaaaaugh Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Now I know how the Roslin/Adama shippers felt after the bit with them nekkid.

AAAAAAAUGH.

Shit. I am going to be SO FUCKING HIGH.

ALL WEEK. AUGH.

I really want to watch that again.

*flails*

7. Kelly. Former Landing Safety Officer, jailed for trying to assassinate Baltar's lawyers.

Wanted to see more of the Natalie-looking Six. Which explains the Frak Chart. I wonder if she has a name?

7. Who is the random marine dude who let Chief go and then joined Team Cylon?

Yes, help please? I gather he's someone I'm supposed to know? Most of the cast is white dudes with buzz cuts. I can't tell them apart!!!

Captain Kelly, last scene telling us why he planted a bomb in Baltar's lawyer's raptor in ... the Son Also Rises?

The Kara/Sam bits were utter WIN. I was squealing really inappropriately. I'm glad to see that you Kara/Sam OTPers got your moment.

FUCK. NOT ENOUGH LEOBEN, YOU GUYS.

THIS. When you have an actor as excellent at CKR and a character as interesting as Leboen, USE HIM.

[identity profile] miera-c.livejournal.com 2009-02-07 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Hunh. I'm pretty sure I never watched most of the episodes surrounding the trial since I loathe Baltar to an unhealthy degree, but that would explain why I didn't recognize him! Thanks.

You'd only have caught him occasionally before then, when he sent vipers out (he argues with Gaeta in 2.1 about networking the computers). Also, he's lost a good twenty-thirty pounds since we saw him last.

*FLAILS SO HARD*

I was all, "Yay, baseship means Leoben!" and then we got so little of him. ARGH. (although, it was nice to see the women talking again)

[identity profile] frolicndetour.livejournal.com 2009-02-07 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
1. OMG I forgot about that what with the other thing that was happening. That was cool too!

4. Yeah, they really made him irredeemable. Poor Gaeta - worst you can say is that he was horribly misguided, but he still believed they had the truth on their side.

5. Hee - we've been over this so you know I am in COMPLETE AGREEMENT.

7. Captain Kelly, I think? I'm in love with him!

8. Ha - yeah, that was an actual funny moment.

SO MUCH FRAKKIN' WORD.

She was crying, she called him 'baby', she wouldn't leave him, she begged Romo to help her. Aaaaaaaugh Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

You took the words right out of my mouth.;)

Lys, I had hope for SOMEthing but I didn't think we'd get this much. Wheee!

I was scared we'd go the way of Chief/Cally.

Also. Captain Kelly said it "wouldn't have mattered" if he'd told Chief that Cally was trouble. Because he did love her. *firm nod*

He had a bit in the mini too where he removed the dog tags from the dead, but he's pretty scarce most of the time.

Aha.

Honey-blonde Sixes aren't usually a dime a dozen. But I was pleased to see one!

Nothing to do in the brig but pushups.

[identity profile] scifiaddict86.livejournal.com 2009-02-07 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Kara begging Romo in corridor absolutely broke my heart, but at the same time I was cheering cuz she never begs for Lee ever.

I think I need to re-watch cuz most of the episode is a blur.

[identity profile] emmiere.livejournal.com 2009-02-07 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
I can't even do this in any order.

14. So much love! Why be coherent? I was not around LJ-land for any other big Kara/Sam moment, this is the first time I get to shipper-squee and I will take full advantage!!!!

5. How did they find the only way I would not hate Romo with a fiery passion? I wanted to hug him.

4. Do not miss. Never will. So they died because wouldn't play along nicely with him and suddenly grew a backbone? The HELL? You are right, childish and short sighted.

1. Nice catch, I was to busy freaking out to register who she was talking to, but yes, of course she can. Caprica could kill you ten different ways before you blink, she sure as hell can take care of herself.

I AM TRYING REALLY HARD TO ONLY INTERNALLY FLAIL, BECAUSE I THINK CHRIS WOULD LOOK AT ME FUNNY OTHERWISE.

BUT.

OUR. KIDS.

It was painful and AUGH MY HEART but oh my god. How can anyone watch that and not SEE she LOVES him? *flails madly*

[identity profile] scalderwood.livejournal.com 2009-02-07 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
OMG. Me too. I was worried for days about this episode. I thought they were gonna kill Tigh.

I was on edge for the last 30 minutes of this episode. My heart still hasn't stopped pounding. The resolution was a bit quick, but that's okay. Because Kara AND Sam AND Hera AND Athena AND Mom AND Dad AND Tyrol AND I guess Lee FTW!

I really wanted Romo to be the last cylon... ;-) (before I wanted it to be Zac)

I repeat: Race Track is too hot to be a traitor. Alas.

[identity profile] raincitygirl.livejournal.com 2009-02-07 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. I assumed it was Head!Six with a different hairstyle/colour.

Now I'm not sure.

[identity profile] raincitygirl.livejournal.com 2009-02-07 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
And the women were not talking about men, either. Or babies.

At least CKR gets paid for each ep he appears in, even if they do criminally underuse him.

And on the second viewing, there was little stuff in the background that I missed the first time around. Like as they step around the bodies of the Marines, Caprica covers Hera's eyes with her free hand. She's such a good auntie.

Although the more I see of Rambo!Athena letting Caprica help out with the fam, the more frustrated I get that we lost Natalie, essentially for nothing. Athena, honey, you couldn't have discovered this newfound spirit of cooperation a few episodes earlier? I still miss Natalie, especially as her death seems so pointless now. She was so good at mutiny-ing herself that she would've totally kicked ass at putting down someone else's (obviously inferior) mutiny.

And notice how none of the hits Galactica has taken from the outside are what's finally damaged the ship. It's not enemy action, it's sheer wear and tear, like a person getting old. Structural strains have it ripping itself apart from the inside. It's all METAPHORICAL. And no, I didn't get t he metaphor on the first viewing. I'm a little slow that way.

10. OMG, that's what the radio was! That seemed like something I was supposed to take note of, but it didn't ping. Haunted radio FTW!

[identity profile] alryssa.livejournal.com 2009-02-07 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
*FLAILS* MOM AND DAD. BOTH SO MUCH FUCKING WIN.

I was cheering Mom SO HARD. GO GET 'EM, TIGER.

And then I was all, NOOOO NOT SAM NOOOOO

Ray Kowalksi saves everything again. Even if he was only in it for like, a minute. NOWHERE NEAR LONG ENOUGH.

And I got all wibbly with the "omg you're alive" and the hugging, and... oh, Mom and Dad. <333

And, and, Chief pulls a Scotty omg yay.

*is incoherent*

[identity profile] shadowserenity.livejournal.com 2009-02-07 11:28 am (UTC)(link)
I was like: SAAAAAMMMM, NOOOOO. But thankfully we know what happens to him (thanks to next week's trailer).

Loved seeing Caprica (carrying Hera, aww), the basestar, and honey blonde Six. However, much as I love Gaius/Six, I have to wonder about the whole point behind their meeting and climbing into bed. Was it just so Gaius could realise he needed to return to his following? Or are we going to see more human-Cylon babies?

[identity profile] sabaceanbabe.livejournal.com 2009-02-07 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Also, he's lost a good twenty-thirty pounds since we saw him last.

And man, was he ever lookin' GOOD!

Hmmm, I don't think so.
