Son of a Gun!
Another episode so amazing, so fabulous, that we totally tried to get out of doing it!
Bugs: Akachankami needs to vid
and...
I need to plot...
and...
Aussie: I need to smooth
and...
Bugs: and I need to eat cheese...Like Wallace
or Gromit?
Gromit is the dog
Aussie: dunno, don't watch them
Nixmom: I need to write
Bugs, still avoiding the episode: Yankees win. yay. So happy.
Nixmom: o.O
Oh dear
Bugs: I really need to work on this forced enthusiasm. sob
Are we watching this awful, awful episode??
Nixmom: :)
Bugs: I need to cut cheese
Not that kind!
Nixmom: yeah...or was Akachankami just late in her enthusiasm?
Aussie, equally enthusiastic: shall we do Son Also Rises
get it over with whilst Akachankami vids?
Bugs, practicing her rant: WHAT TEH FRAK LEE
UGH
Aussie: well...
it's next shudder
Bugs: :P
Aussie: are a/r even in it?
I can't remember much about it
I must skip over it
lot of Baltar shit from memory
Nixmom: check POTD tag
Akachankami: soooo, you shipwatch and i vid?
Nixmom: might jog the memory
Bugs, sifting through the loose sands of her brain: isn't it the whole thing of WHO WHO WHO SHALL BE THE LAWYER MAN
Nixmom, who hasn't been keeping up: Akachankami is vidding?
what what?
Aussie, remaining strong until her bladder calls: put Son in dvd player
must wee
Bugs: will get cheese
Akachankami, slickly getting out of shipwatch: ok, time for kitteh food,
Aussie: flopping into lounge chair
Nixmom, trying to find a way out of this: NEtflix won't load...it knows what a waste of time it will be
Bugs: I feel duped!
thought we were going to have fun. sulk
Nixmom: oh ...it's finished!
Bugs: DVD in...
what's finished?
Nixmom: I have a Cylon...netflix loaded
Aussie, putting on her big girl pants: ok
ready to go
I'll wait until this is over before I have coffee
Bugs, still bitter: ready. :P
Aussie: play?
Bugs: you don't want to be awake for this?
where's Akachankami?
Aussie: I might need the biccy that goes with the coffee afterwards
I didn't think we were forcing Akachankami to watch
CHECK OUT LAURA'S FACE!
Bugs, behind already: what, have you started??
Aussie: and meanwhile Bill's sobbing
YES
I'll pause
Bugs, catching up: yes, I'm on Bill sobbing
Aussie: ok
I won't pause
Bugs, cracking the whip: forward troops
Aussie: she can't even say his name!
Bugs, confused already: why are Captains the judges?
Aussie: it obv never ever occurred to her he could be a judge
Bugs: Bill's sobbing over Kara's disciplinary notices
Aussie: sorry, one thing about this scene with Bill
he seems very EJO
not so much Bill
Bugs: yes. When did Bill have a mustache with Kara?
oh lordy, all the mens are sobbing in this episode. Usual theme of BSG, mens are big sobby babies, womens will break your dick off for a dime.
Aussie: maybe that was a birthday card from when they were on NC?
Bugs, trying to find something of interest: Lee has a haircut
Aussie joins in: I think they've stopped dying Lee's hair
or maybe they just did...
looks odd
I kinda like crazy drunk Sam
Bugs, that seekrit slashgirl: and as usual, I note how much more chemistry Lee/Sam have than either did with Kara...
Aussie: more realistic perhaps then clever Sam?
Bugs: yes, then he has a personality
Saul to Bill: "You own 1/5 of Baltar's skinny ass." Bro is so supportive.
Nixmom: I like the chick pilots
Bugs, giving up hope so soon: Oh gods, this whole storyline
why would you take your shoes off in a Raptor?
why is Cally on Team!Baltar?
living in the moment: on more important news, my horseradish cheddar cheese is fabulous! although I do appear to have flames coming out of my nose now
but it's a small price to pay
Nixmom: This is my fave press conference
Bugs: yes, Laura's fake smile is great and Bill's staring at her ass to get through it
Nixmom: This slip up when Lee uses Kara;s name is so forced
Bugs, squaring her shoulders, getting ready for the episode's major theme: Leeeemmmmmooooo
Aussie: shouldn't uptight Helo just have reported him or something
he doesn't stop sticking his nose in most business
Bugs: why in the world would he think Racetrack was Kara?
what a dope
Aussie: I do love Laura staring down Romo
Bugs: ah, the big Billy/Laura picture on her desk
Aussie: and that little look to Bill. 'the fact I have a pulse'
Bugs: Romo is a perfect example of what I hate in a short term character:
: let's make him quirky!
Aussie: Laura's face!!!!!!!
Nixmom: :)
Aussie: with Lance!
Bugs, still ranting: I'm sure Nix can attest, actors will go totally out of control if you let them
let's give him 'business'!!
Nixmom: OMG yes
Bugs: sunglasses and an accent and scruff and a dead wife and a CAT IN A BAG
Nixmom: Let's remember the poor ship from last eppy
Aussie: they can find a room for Romo?
Bugs: "King of the pilots" ...Can we just call Lee that from now on
Aussie: after all that not enough room for the refugees?
Bugs: is JB not working out as much? His uniform isn't skin tight and he can hang his arms at his sides
OH GODS, this ridiculous thing!
Romo and Joe Adama
Aussie, trying to find some logic: well, I say Romo is lying
he lies about everything
Bugs: let's see, Romo looks about mid-40's, and Grandad would be...150?
Aussie: why do we suppose this is the truth
Bugs: but how dumb does that make Lee to believe him? Okay, don't answer that question
Aussie does the math: it would have had to be about 20 years prior
so, makes Bill around 40
Joseph would have been around 40 when Bill was born
so, practicing law at 80
I can only assume they wrote it before they wrote Caprica
Nixmom: why are you trying to work this out
Bugs moves onto a new theme: I hate Baltar so much. That is all.
Nixmom: HAve we not established that creating a coherent timeline was never RDM's bailiwick
Bugs: Baltar is such a playa: "Tell the bitch I love her and I'm like totally thinking of her..."
Nixmom, beginning to give up hope: this eppy is even hard to make fun of
Bugs: Lee really shouldn't do that grabbing men and shoving his face in theirs...Because it makes me assume he's going to kiss them...From the kissing of women we've seen, mauling seems to be his technique
kissing: another thing Dad does better...
Aussie: It was pretty obv that Kelly was the baddy all along
we haven't seen him since about the Peg arc
and suddenly he pops up
Bugs sneers: yes, just give him a mustache to twirl
Nixmom: or a goatee
universal symbol of evil
Bugs: yep, only to not get charged with MURDER, so he can come along and stab Bill in the back during the mutiny. Bill really needs to think about his loyalty tests
Nixmom: I do love me some angry Bill
Bugs: Bill has these moments of complete clarity where he sees what a doff Lee is, but he chooses to ignore it most of the time.
Nixmom: He's so mad because no nooky
Aussie: OMG
I love it when Bill slaps Lee around
'do you think yours is greater'
what a prick Lee is
Bugs, shaking fist at screen: I mean, we're on year three, and Bill is still telling Lee to be a damn man
at some point...You just gotta admit his balls are full of packing peanuts and write him off as a loss
Aussie: Kelly doesn't stab BIll in the back in the mutiny; he saves him
Bugs: yeah, Cally, the Cylons are the bad guys! Team!Baltar!
Nixmom: What's that string on Baltar's wrist? And is he sans pants?
Bugs, fighting about a future episode already: Kelly's on the side of the mutiny!
Jaffee's dead because of him!
Aussie: he swaps
Bugs: I noticed the string earlier. Probably a spiritual thing. *yawn*
Aussie:
Laura can still tease Bill
:)
Bugs, finally finding some A/R material: may we note that Bill's always on C1 this episode
Aussie: hee
Bugs: they mix things up, keep it fresh
Aussie: sometimes I wonder if it's MM and EJO
they always seem to have these little secret laughs with each other
Nixmom: Office chair, desk, cot, press room
Aussie: in amongst all this supposedly serious drama
Bugs, reaching deep: of all the scenes I hate in this episode, I hate this one with Romo 'outsmarting' Caprica the most
Aussie: SURELY IT WAS TIME TO GIVE SIX A NEW SET OF CLOTHES
Bugs: and I don't even care about Six
yes, it's hideous, the outfit
Aussie: I hate Lee
surprise
Bugs: didn't someone say something about getting her new clothes like 4 episodes ago?
Aussie: but look at him listening to Romo and taking all this shit in
yes
Laura always visits her with jackets on
isn't she cold?
Nixmom, trying to grasp the theme of the episode: I wonder if he learned this from Joseph Adama?
Bugs: yes, once again, Lee is seduced by another man, metaphorically
Akachankami, being no fool,has left
Bugs: ignoring current scene I don't get at all that the cat turns out to not really exist, when all these characters saw it
Aussie: I don't get it
but I think it's been dead for a while
I actually watched the eppy carefully once to try and work it out
but I still didn't
Nixmom: I want Six to stab him with that pen
Aussie: hee
Laura looks a bit of a wreck
Nixmom: LOL!!!!
Aussie: they've done something with MM's make up
Bugs, beginning to lose hope: poor MM and EJO have to stand there, trying to make this scene interesting
yeah, there's the shiny makeup in some episodes
gods, that whole stupid thing with the sunglasses. DIRECTOR GET YOUR ACTOR IN HAND I BEG OF YOU
Akachankami has joined
Aussie: this was actually a Robert Young one
which explains why EJO gets to be sobby and cranky
Bugs: oh gods, when Lee starts talking about his childhood...
bad times coming...
Aussie: I wasn't listening
Hubby was talking to me
not rewinding
Nixmom: Okay...so i have been listening to just audio for the last fifteen minutes with a frozen pic of romo in my screen
Bugs: you didn't miss anything. LLLLEEEEMMMMOOOO
Nixmom: It's odd
Aussie: LOL!
Bugs: hee
Aussie: you know, you're not convincing me to get netflix
every week you seem to have issues!
Bugs, deciding to be editor this week: this scene is about 100 lines too long
what is the freakin' point?
OH RIGHT THE SON MUST RISE
BECAUSE HE HASN'T HAD A CHANCE IN THE PREVIOUS SEASONS
Reboot Lee!
this is true torment
this does feel like some acting class.
Nixmom: I have to take crap!
that might be my new favorite line
Bugs, noticing how empty Lee's quarters are during these late night meetings: has Dee left him yet?
Aussie: he's still wearing the ring
Bugs: where the hell is she if so?
Nixmom, the voice of reason: no she hasn't left
not until the trial
Aussie, looking for some real conflict this episode: the President's glasses
how will he give them back...
Bugs: she can just borrow Bill's
Aussie: this goes to canon that perhaps Laura knew she had cancer
and had told Bill
and it was another reason why he was not polishing his buttons
:(
Bugs: why is Bill's tunic button rolling around on the hangar deck?
Nixmom: she popped it off in her haste
Bugs, getting really ranty: this is so stupid. Just an endless, endless, bad community college acting class
Aussie: I think RDM and MS are friends
hence the large role
Nixmom: See! We have nothing to say
Bugs: this is one of my issues with being only the occasional sci-fi show viewer. I'm not a big sci-fi geek, watching everything. So apparently there's actors I'm supposed to freak out with excitement when they appear, but they're just a character to me, and I loathe, loathe, loathe Romo
Nixmom: Some people wouldn't say this is a bad thing
Bugs: I'm sure MS is a lovely person
Nixmom, clueless as bugs: Is MS someone I should know?
other than this
Aussie: I think he was in RDM's Carnivale
Nixmom: oh
Aussie: and he wanted him for a larger role
can't think of who
Baltar maybe?
he would have rocked as Baltar
but they had 'scheduling' problems
Bugs: From just a construction POV, this episode is awful. Scenes drag on way too long
Nixmom: I bet he's kicking himself over that
Bugs: is Lee the one who lets a murderer go here? Of course. Judge and Jury Adama, who's always braying about creating a fair society
Aussie: so, I think, in the end, RDM wrote Romo especially for him
Nixmom: I think it's supposed to be character development it just fails
Aussie: Romo's name
it's from Ro from Ron and Mo from Moore
*shudder*
Nixmom: OMG!!!! So obvious now!
Mary sue
Aussie: yes
Bugs: I thought MS was in some other sci-fi show
Aussie: prob
Bugs: yes, the biggest mary sue of all times
Aussie, who's addicted to IMDB: let me look it up
Nixmom: "IS THAT AN ORDER!"
Aussie: I'm not watching too much
Nixmom: shut up Lee
Bugs: interesting how Romo mocks all the characters; the writers' true feelings?
Nixmom: me neither
I wrote a drabble
while we did this
Bugs: gods, another hideous scene as Lee and Bill chew on this old bone again
Bad boy, Lee, trying to stretch his wings
BTW, how is Helo CAG?
Nixmom: boy, how about some comfort sex
Aussie: because Bill sacked Lee!
Nixmom: cause Saul is Xo and that means Helo gets demoted
Bugs: no, I mean, isn't he just an ECO?
not even a pilot!
let alone a Viper pilot
Nixmom: but if I know the military, no way a pansy NFO gets to be CAG
sorry ECO yes
Bugs, watching a Sam/Lee scene: "I'll see you around." Yeah, easy to slash that up...
Nixmom: messing up my real and fake military
Aussie: oh...
it's over
that was bad
Nixmom: so sad
Aussie: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0791968/
Bugs, willing to rush the ending: I'm still on Baltar
let me FF
Aussie: the question might be, what scifi show wasn't MS in?
Bugs: all my geek friends were horrified that I didn't know who he is
or care
Nixmom: he's in the xfiles
Bugs: COME BACK Akachankami SO WE CAN WATCH SOMETHING GOOD
Nixmom: FIRE
Bugs: he was awful in that
Aussie: funnily enough, MS isn't in Carnivale!
the one I thought he was in!
LOL!
Aussie starts checking out Downton Abbey stuff...
Bugs, moving on as well: ew, eels on my TV
Aussie: ewwwwww
Akachankami: hey
Nixmom: eels are eww?
Aussie: they must be the grossest thing in the water ever
Akachankami, playing innocent: is it already over, BSG?
Bugs: Uh yeah, Akachankami
Aussie, being noble: we didn't even ff or anything
Next week, finally, an episode we will not ff over! Crossroads! The trial begins!
Bugs: Akachankami needs to vid
and...
I need to plot...
and...
Aussie: I need to smooth
and...
Bugs: and I need to eat cheese...Like Wallace
or Gromit?
Gromit is the dog
Aussie: dunno, don't watch them
