I wondered what happened to the scene I was expecting after seeing that pic of starbuck holding him by the hair. Damn them. Or him. Whatever. Given how traumatized Starbuck was by what Leoben did to her, how badly she behaved last ep...it's just weird for her not to confront him. OTOH, you could argue that she was trying to move on (i.e. the whole cutting her hair, gettin back into uniform, visiting Kasey scene) and that the Leoben they captured wasn't the one who did the stuff to her anyway.
But, as you say, why have CALLUM KEITH RENNIE and just put him in the freaking background! Garghahg!
Yes! I... I just don't get it, you know? For Simon of all people. And it didn't work. It didn't work at ALL. And really, let's forget Leoben for a moment here, but what about Starbuck? I will be really pissed if they don't get back to that storyline. They were really good with that until now. I was prepared to forgive them for not really putting in much time in the Starbuck/Leoben thing. But. But now? No. Just... no. *gnarls*
Just.. I know that cap, and I like it, but your icon? Gets me every time.
*licks*
And I have trust in you, you know? I get that the fucked-upness is hard for some people. *points to Joan* But... I have hope that you - that the both of you - will watch it one day. And then you will be grateful that I pushed you again and again and again. That's my story anyway and I am sticking to it.
God, yes! Please! I mean, dammit, that's the least they can do. You know? And it's... I just got the extended version for Pegasus. But Pegasus was fine, Pegasus was okay the way it was! This ep? NOT SO MUCH. *grrrr* I am normally mostly okay with whatever they come up with, you know? But this ep? NOT SO MUCH. It's just so... sad. You know?
Simon is the black doctor from "The Farm" (season Two). Nobody ever cared about him after that ep, and rightly so, you know? He's just... boring. The only cylon who managed to be boring. Apparently, more screentime doesn't change that. *sigh*
Okay, I am stupid? I only read the first sentence of your comment, apparently. You do know who Simon is, right? Or, better, what he is not. So, um. Yes. We both know what I am talking about? Right?
Yep, we're on the same page! But I think he is duller than dull. To choose him over CKR? Stupid! (I don't have cable, so I have to wait for S3 DVDs. And it's killing me!)
I agree with everything you mentioned, see my rant on my lj *furious*
I don't understand either, they finally manage to get an actor so good that he is too busy to appears on their series, they film a scene, they promote the episode with pics from that scene, and *oh no changed my mind* WTF ??????? I am FURIOUS
I've seen your post (and the post before that one, about the house, the links are still open here), just, I hadn't seen the episode then. So, well, I will reply later. Maybe tomorrow.
But. Yes! I just... I don't get it, you know? It's not like the episode is better without him. It's NOT. Maybe the scene wasn't what they thought it should be, but... *grrr.* It can't have been worse, you know?
Almost every singly characterization was... off in that ep. And they care about Simon? I don't get it. It's like, really, the first thing I thought when I read this was, "Huh. What about Boxey?" Grrrr.
It did feel weird to not see him in the foreground with kara at least for 2/3 minutes, after the major arc they had together, it makes no sense. They could have reduced Baltar's torture scene, its getting weirder and weirder and creepy without going anywhere *sigh*
I am so devastated, I had been looking forward to seeing this scene so much. I did like the episode very much though due to helo/sharon, I have always liked them, but all the way through the episode, I was thinking *when the hell is Kara going to interrogate Leoben?
Now i have no idea when we will see Leoben again...*sigh*

But you should totally watch it anyway, you know? Because it's good. Most of the time anyway. *grrrr's*
