sanctuary 'warriors'

[lyssie]

....I am suffering through possibly one of the stupidest episodes of Sanctuary, and I didn't like 'requiem' much, either (Magnus killing them under the ocean would have at least relieved me of Will)

But, seriously. This cabal business is fucking obnoxious.

*skips some more*

Oh, look, Helen's daddy. *yawn*

*skips some more*

"Living laboratories"

Will is missing! He might die?

*skips more in boredom*

They cured Will. That's so sad. :/

Seriously. At least the non-white people didn't die this time. But they did have to be saved by the pretty white people.

Oh, god. Daddy angst. Meh. So meh.

Ok. Never watching that shitfest again. EVER. And I only watched five minutes, total. (it had such a promising start, with tea and philosophy on the lawn)

I actually liked Nubbins. It was silly and ridiculous, and was the one time Sanctuary wasn't all OMG SERIOUS BUSINESS, NO ONE LAUGH. EVER.

Tory! I know. I'm waiting for her to die.

I missed most of them, I think. *shrug*

She was. It would be nice if she'd be back.

I was thinking about this, the other day. I was all "If I had the money, I'd make spacey SF with Rekha as my lead and DAMN EVERYONE ELSE TO HELL."

Mostly because I want to see her kicking ass and being awesome.

It would possibly have Nicki Clyne as her bff/love interest, depending on my mood. (and since I noticed the icon, the actress who played Connie Murphy in Dresden Files, too)

Amusingly, I'd probably steal a lot of BSG alumni for it. Kandyse and Nicki, for starters. Alisen Downs, if she'd be interested.

Actually, it always feels very serious business to me.

Rekha was lovely, even if the episode didn't really break new ground for its cliches.

Warriors was SO BAD. I think that should be on my "do not watch this ep EVER" list.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

YES. Warn first-time viewers to skip it or something.

*edits* Because the problem is, the badness BLEEDS onto the other episodes. Like, if I had watched it just by itself, I would have hated it, but it made me dislike 'reqiuem' in retrospect.

I fucking hated Will's plotline (mostly I cackled at how it was ridiculously boyslashy and overwrought it was), and the reason the rest of it was okay because JIM BYRNES OMG. JOE DAWSON IS HELEN MAGNUS' DADDY.

I think the ridiculously annoying cabal stuff was part of the reason I couldn't manage the episode.

[havocthecat]

That seems like a perfectly good reason not to manage it to me. Ugh. It was one of their worst eps.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I spoiled myself on wikipedia the other day. I'm sort of dreading the end of the season. Sigh.

[havocthecat]

Um. It's. I'm a little tired of the cabal. I think you and I are the only two in fandom who feel that way?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

That last is so not a surprise.

I want to like this show. I want to like it more than a little, and it's hard when I'm up against Will and the cabal (and the banality of Yet Another Black Air Sekrit Organization --sidenote: I should call every secret organization I create in fic SEBASO from now on. It would save myself time.)

Helen and Ashley and Henry? Yes. I'm on-board with the love of them (even though Henry is still Connor from BSG who beat up Gaius and then had his ass handed to him by Paulla--ok, not so different, never mind)

...I am digressing a lot. Possibly, it is time for bed.

You are not. I would be much happier if there had never been a Cabal, ever. I liked my cheesy little vaguely steampunky "weird shit of the week" show much better.
