What I wish I had time to write

So it turns out I *do* still want/need to talk about Battlestar Galactica. I'm actually desperately itching to write a serious meta post on the big-picture problems with the finale. I'm reading a lot of response posts and seeing so many good points being made and I'd really like to collate them together. I've also read a few responses from people

Comments

I definitely will be interested! Re the T:SCC that is. Just finished watching 19. This John Connor is so good I'm thinking Bale better keep that torch going when I get to see Salvation! This episode was brilliant - and I heart Derek so much it's not funny. I'm finding the development of John Henry absolutely riveting stuff, if only Ellison spends ten times more time with him than Weaver I might actually trust this one.

I haven't read your previous post comparing BSG to T:SCC because we have BSG lined up to go...I think I'm going to want to mainline that series till it gets done so at least we have all the eps up now.

Re Dollhouse? So far Joss has disappointed me with this one. Mind you we've only watched three or four I think. The only one I liked was the one with the Middleman guy in it. It's not that the stories are necessarily poor it's more the fact that Joss seems to find the need to have Eliza stripping off as much as possible in every episode. Are we watching a TV Series or a thinly veiled Eliza Dushku Worship Hour? I would suppose that if you *liked* Eliza that way then this show would be pretty much your tv version of a very addictive narcotic...but even my other half (who has expressed on occasion that Eliza is definitely on his 'hottie' list) has commented several times on how blatant and obvious Joss's hard on for Eliza is and how he kind of finds that a little disturbing.

HOORAY! T:SCC FTW! Seriously, I need to surround myself with more SCC fans when I get back... I am craving the fannish squee for that show.

John Connor! *heartthud* He blew me away in 2.19! Wow. I love Derek too and Jesse/Derek is my ship for this show so 2.19 was one of the most amazing hours of TV ever for me. *squees*

Mainlining BSG will be infinitely better than watching it week by week I expect. ;)

As for Dollhouse I can say that I have a MASSIVE girlcrash on Eliza and I STILL don't like it. For me it's the squicky interpersonal/gender politics--which include but are not limited to Eliza stripping off every episode. Yes, I know the politics of abuse and slavery are acknowledged on the show but not nearly enough to overcome my ICK feeling from watching that much rape--emotional, physical, psychological, you name it--on a weekly basis.

It's very sad because I love Tahmoh too.
