I'm friendslocking this, at least until others have seen 'Razor'. This post is as spoilery as you can get. Seriously don't click if you don't want to know. ETA: unlocked now
I wasn't shocked with Lee's decision to nuke the station - I could see his reasoning behind it. so could I but it came too fast to me--it just felt rushed. I felt like I could see Ron pressing the 'fast forward to melodrama' button, you know? I think it would have worked for me if there'd just been a beat or two more of them acknowledging the mission was lost. It's a personal thing.
I wasn't shocked that he ordered Kara to complete the mission - not only is that how the chain of command works, with her as the surviving officer, but it says a lot about Lee that he's strong enough to make the decision despite it being Kara Oh totally. I was unshocked by it, though it was painful emotional territory. I found it very effective because it WAS so painful, if that makes sense. It should be. It's a hard area and it makes me feel like Lee really got to experience all the weight of command.
it says volumes about both that they both know why she's transferring and neither of them comments on it because they're pilots. *nods* I agree.
This did more to make me feel shippy than almost all of S3. :) It felt very shippy to me too. They felt so intimate in Razor--all those silent understandings and that last scene that was so incredibly underplayed. And the 'you're stuck with me'!
I'm sorry to hear it's turned you back into an insomniac though - you're meant to be resting and recuperating. Can I prescribe Tim Tams and Bob Bob time to cheer you up? Ah, you know me--give me horror material to work with and my unconscious will have a field day. The nightmares from Razor ain't pretty! ;) And that damn prophecy really got under my skin which I know is daft because it's a Cylon God and all... wisteria_ did a good job of telling me what a duffer I was being to worry about that... but I just got creeped.
Bob Bob and I have had much quality time--I don't think he likes the idea of me going back to work--I've got used to vidding with him in my lap and his head propped on my arm.
