TV chatter and Wii Fit fun
Okay, so I finally opened my wii fit and got my Gay Chad all set up. ( Brandi suggests Gay Chad as opposed to Skinny Bitch (SB), but my sister prefers SB because she thinks her boobs are misshapen and it makes my sister feel better about her own boobs.) Cheyenne predicted we wouldn't use the wii fit at all. "You'll use it once and then I'll find you buying snowboarding games not doing yoga." Well, he tried it out and ended up sore and saying it was the best money we've ever spent. Ainsley, too, loves it. I've got pictures of her doing yoga, walking a tight rope, and running races. She wakes up every morning and wants to play on the balance board.

On to the more important events of the week TV!
Lost: I'm going to say something that will shock you. I'm not a Sawyer fangirl. I never have been. His beard looks like some makeup artist colored his chin with a sharpie and his hair drives me crazy. I've always liked Jack and Kate better...up until they both annoyed the crap outta me. Now I could care less about the two of them. But I've really been enjoying Sawyer while he's all alone on the island. I liked that there was some "tension" between him and Juliet. You knew that was coming, but they didn't shove it down our throats. They were both too busy trying not to die with the time looping.
Last night's episode was super fun. I liked the old Lost feel to it, the mystery of why Paul had anything to do with anything, why the heck Juliet was working on VW buses instead of delivering babies, and everyone being freshly showered! (Okay, that part isn't really old school lost, but I love to see clean people)
I got all mushy when Juliet and Sawyer were playing house and then I realized what they were doing with that "Paul" plot thing. It made me sad. Only the Lost writers would mock me with a storyline I really enjoyed and then snatch it away. I knew from the minute Horace the Hippie asked, "Is three years enough to get over someone?" that it really was over. No matter how sweet and mushy it got. There was no way Sawyer was really over Kate. Ugh. Dumb Kate. And poor Juliet! She's been ping ponged all over and I gotta say, at this point I dont' see Jack being a great catch.
And didn't she lose her first bf on the island back when we met her? This lady should have hauled her hiney on the sub back in 74.
Now, beyond that where was Daniel? I mean, was seeing Charlotte as a child too much for him? Did he get off the island and run away? Miles seemed to enjoy Dharma and Jin's English is getting really good, but where was my buddy Dan the physicist? No open jobs for a time travel, island expert like himself?
And what is with eyeliner guy Richard Alpert? Why didn't Juliet go talk to him? PS was that the only time in Sawyer's long life that he told the truth to someone right off the bat? And would a hair cut kill the guy? sorry, Richard Alpert...what was the big deal that made Ben and the Others take over Dharma and kill everyone? And since Juliet knows it happens, she must know when it happened or else she'd be worried about staying with Dharma for too long.
Battlestar Galactica: Funny Ainsley moment? She refers to this as Star trash Galactica...which Cheyenne and I found hilarious, until last night when her prediction seemed true. (No, we dont' let our three year old watch the show, she just mentioned it for some crazy reason, the kid is learning to read using Entertainment Weekly, what did you expect?)
I know that the humans outlook is grim, but can no one hold themselves together? Adama is having Starbuck type painting sessions, Tigh is looking for the liquor again, and even the President is tokin (is that how you spell that? I dunno, I don't write much about drugs) it up like a teenager. ("I don't think Cottle will mind..." No kiddin!) The Galactica is falling apart...not just a little, but a lot. But can the ship really die? I mean, the show is called Battlestar Galactica, not Cloud 9, right? Not Rebel Base Star! ('cause George Lucas would sue, he always does)
I'm a hormonal pregnant lady (37 weeks!) so I had a really hard time with Boomer and Hera's scenes. Seriously, I had to make sure my own evil spawn was safely tucked in her bed during commercial breaks. Of course, this also meant that I found yet another reason the actors of this show should be nominated for awards other than the Saturn awards. Give Tahmoh Penikett and Grace Park Emmy nods folks!
Sorry, back to Hera and Boomer. Few questions? Boomer gets Hera on the Raptor by stuffing her in a crate that Cheif (where was he this week? crying in his bunk?) unknowlingly helps with. Hera couldn't have been conscience for that...so why not drug her enough to get her all the way back to Cavil. And surely, she had to have a "kiddie sized" dose of something to get her in the box. Then there's the issue that Hera knew that Boomer wasn't her mom. Did she not notice when Boomer was hauling her out of the day care? Also...I know BSG is strapped for people, but to get my kid in and out of preschool it takes a lot more than me running in and grabbing my kid and running out. And there aren't a ton of people running around this base that are exact copies of me. Seems like maybe Athena and Helo could have put an alert on Hera...maybe a code or password or something. Anyways...when Boomer finally gives Hera over to Cavil and Hera is crying again...I wanted to cry with Boomer. Boomer has more issues in the head that Starbuck at this point.
Lee: Kara. what are you doing? Okay, listen to me. I don't care.
I know we've all been through some crazy, crazy stuff. I don't care what you think you saw. I watched your viper explode - don't care.
I'm here. You're here. This is all that matters. Okay?
I'll see you around, Kara Thrace.
Could Lee and Kara be any cuter? Really?
I knew Kara telling Baltar (while she was peeing BTW) what happened to her was a tricky proposition. Sure, she gets to know that she really did see her dead body on Earth, but Batlar and his new prophet type status caused him to tell a whole room full of people. Kara handled it great, except the part where she slapped Baltar...I really wanted her to punch him.
But unlike Caprica Six said, I think Baltar really has changed. I think he really cares, and I kinda like it because he seems to have held on to his old manipulation tools and retained his wacky personality, while now actually caring about people.
I can't wait for next week and the week after. At the same time I'm really sad. This show is so good these days. I wish it would go on and on.
Dollhouse: Okay, I watched the second and third episodes and I'm prepared to say I like this show. I like the mystery arc with Alpha, I like the connections that were finally made between the characters, and I like that every engagement is not a sex mission. That would get really old. Of course, I'd like to see more on the arc and backstory and Tahmoh then on the engagements too, if wishes were horses...and steak.
I'm not going to lay anything out for you, watch it! Watch it on Hulu or onDemand or DVR it. But watch it. It will be canceled by the end of this season, so help a girl out. Watch it.
