SFF: er, scattered edition

SG1: Mmm.
Lantis: I think I saw this Dr. Who episode before...
BSG Kara: Mmmm. Can I have one, please?



SG-1. They killed the Prometheus! OMG. In an episode named 'Ethon'! augh! (you can blame [livejournal.com profile] karma_aster and my mythology book)

Wow. This episode hits the ground running and never really lets up.

SG-1 make stupid mistakes (Hey, Sam? If that's the early version of the plans, maybe they put in defence systems later), but then redeem themselves by not saving the day. SCORE.

Because, see, three years ago, they would have saved the day, and everything would have been hunky-dory.

Anyone remember that stupid episode with the people who couldn't be moved and the Ancient Alien race? That episode was supposed to end with one side DYING. But tptb said it wasn't fluffy enough.

I prefer my SG-1 with snark and dire consequances, and Sam looking geektechhot. Not to mention the women totally pwning the power structure. Yum.

Anspagh got shot, btw. And so did poor Winston. DUDE! You should'a stayed in New York!

Overall? Adored this episode. OMG. It's so fun to watch!

BUT they killed Pendergast! You bitches! Though, again, nice to see some follow-through on the Serious Situation. Also? 157 crew, 76 survived. YEAH. Now, that's what I'm talkin' about.

What? I like people dying!

Also, the Sam in my head is much more bloodthirsty. Why does she have to be so... wishywashy on the show? *sniffles*

Lantis

The one with the tower in it.

OMG. I don't have much to say, because, FUN episode, but brainless. AND IT ENDS WITH SPARKY ON THE BALCONY.

-

Oh, KARA.

Now she has someone to live for! *dies laughing*

Poor Kara. Dreaming of one guy, and then trying to sex another who doesn't want to go fast.

Still. omg. The Kara/Anders in this killed me dead, because it reminded me of how fucking HOT they were.

I called her knowing every pilot who'd died by name. I also called her realizing Anders might still be alive. AND OMG she promised him, and Kara doesn't break her promises (hey, Kara, next time knock the raider over, kill its brain and fly back to Caprica).

Kat? Needs a good smack, although Kara totally pwned her.

*bounces in glee*

Kara looked hot. A lot. And Helo! OMG. I love their friendship, and how he totally thinks she's going soft on Anders (and, obviously, he has first-hand knowledge of her being dippy over him. *cackles*) And she beat him up at the end. SO CUTE OMG.

I also liked the bit with her and Sharon, because, well, it's so hard to tell what will hurt more: memories or lies. And that scene was so well done. GOD. *flails* "The kid frakking the Chief and thinking she was getting away with it." OMG. Kara.

The drinking all night, watching Scar? Kinda hot.

Kara deciding to frak Lee? Amusing. ALTHOUGH AGAIN she totally screws over the guy she's with. Not that they got that far, sadly. (OMG. Calling him "Samuel" would've killed me dead).

However. RON MOORE. Please STOP WITH THE FUCKING 98 hours ago shit! It's not useful, it makes you look like a shitty story-teller!

Not that, er, I have much faith in him anyway.

Kara, though. Kara, I have faith in.

Now I need to go write Tigh/Adama post-celebration....

ETA: oh. one other thing. I love how they went the full distance and showed that being a drunk isn't always fun. Much like the episode of Touching Evil that was on last night, there was a lot of uncomfortable, awkward humanity in that fall onto the table.

Them's fightin' words, y'know. Luckily, today is "don't fight with anyone but yourself" day. And tomorrow, I won't remember.

Robson Greene is superb. truly. and no one does angsty, fucked up, moody cops like the Brits, gods love them. but there's something more visceral about the American version, and i don't know that it's in the slightly altered storytelling but more the portrayals by Jeremy Donovan and Vera Farmiga. i think that Donovan's Creegan is infinitely more broken than Greene's, and that hits a bulletproof kink for me....hence the "almost". it'd be a tough call on any given sunday.

Donovan's Creegan has it easy. He actually HAS brain-damage. Greene's was more fucked in the head before he got shot.

And cardboard cut-out girl is pathetic.

we're gonna have to agree to disagree then. i love them both and Farmiga was awesome.

cheers.
