SFS: quick moment.
Dresden when I get home (OH HARRY)
BSG: ...pointless.
So. A very large number of you know how much I hate Kara Thrace and her Special Destiny. But, y'know, I didn't realize that Kara's Special Destiny was to commit suicide.
Hey, Ron and Co.? If you wanted to get rid of Katee that much? Killing her off in Eye of J. would have been so much better. You could have then had Sam shoot Lee, and then Sam put on trial for war crimes. Because Sam? Far much better as a Man of the People. Unlike Baltar, who fucked them all over.
You could also have completely dropped the pointless Kara/Lee crap and instead wove in the Leoben stuff, so that didn't come completely out of left field. Making Sam be Mr. Exposition on Leoben was also a bit annoying. Nice to know his only reason for living is to tell Kara how much she should go to other men. Guess he's really just there to move that plot along, huh?
Kara's mom. You'll all have to forgive me, I've read far too much Mercedes Lackey. So, that was pretty fucking yawn-worthy, and even a bit wtf when Kara basically showed that, um, it was OK for her mother to beat her as a child. Good to know.
Good things--yeah, the ep had one or two:
1. Katee's performance.
2. The Leoben and the painting sex, plus Kara's orgasm while Hot Dog watched (oh, Hot Dog, you voyeur).
3. Sam showing up--obviously, she chases Leoben off with her husband. Pity that she doesn't follow his advice.
Actually, speaking of Sam. How much has he always freaked inside when Kara's talked about her mother? I bet there were times he went off and got drunk rather than think about it. Sigh.
All in all, the ep was about as crap as I was expecting.
Next week: Baltar's trial. 'cause we all want that. Yup.
