engine turning over, won't you start?
Despite that I have seen the end of this episode *clears throat* several times? that was still my very high-pitched squeal you heard just then. asdfghjkklqwertyuioz!$&*&XVG *passes out*
THE DANCING! AND THE... THE... can I call it flirting? Please? THE DANCING. AND THE FLIRTING. AND THE FACT THAT ADAMA ASKS ROSLIN TO DANCE AND SHE SAYS YES AFTER VAGUELY MISUNDERSTANDING THE QUESTION BUT CUTE AND THEN THEY DANCE. AND THAT HE HAS THE MOST RIDICULOUS GRIN ON HIS FACE.
Too bad his son wasn't so happy. Gaius over Lee, Kara? *smack*
Also, Lee's naked. And Kara's in the room. And Lee's naked. And wet. And very, you know, naked. And he removes the towel to put on his pants and she's, like, still in the room. Yup. Just, you know, pointing that out. (lol. His reaction to her in that dress never ceases to be funny. Men? are so easy.)
Do I have ANY actual serious, meaningful things to say? Ummmmmmm........ the politics were... Robert Patrick Modell Major Samuels WALLACE GREY... politics... OMG THE DANCING.
Okay. One serious thing? I am genuinely amused that Adlai Stevenson seems to exist in all parts of the universe. "One heartbeat away from the presidency," eh Roslin? HAHAHAHA. Or maybe it's just Richard Nixon who is so ubiquitous (to whom the quote was originally directed, as Stevenson was pointing out that that was where Nixon would be if Nixon's running mate, a guy named Eisenhower, won in '52... ahh, crazy funny Adlai Stevenson *pets* /formerpoliscimajor), judging by Roslin's vaguely Watergate-esque "bug him, follow him, and shut him down" mentality. Of course, Zarek's a terrorist, so it's not like he has any rights to begin with. *is ambivalent but loves her show nonetheless*
(Know who else they have? Frank Sintra! And the guy who invented elevator music! Oh, god.)
But, seriously now. Having seen this episode, uhhhh, several times (and I mean really seen it; sadly, the times I just skipped don't actually count) and had a good feel on the plot and such, it was so fun to see all the little things and details. Like Laura's bottle of perfume and her makeup on the desk with the radio when she's listening to Zarek's political ranting in the garden. Or that when she tells Wallace to step down, she's walking in the grass in her bare feet. (When she turns a certain way right before they cut away, you can see her heels in her hand.) Or how much Zarek's controlroom on the Astral Queen resembles some crazy militia's underground bunker. Or that Lee's actually an antagonistic and slightly beligerant drunk. Or that Adama's only in two scenes in the entire episode and he's primarily interacting with Roslin in BOTH OF THEM. *snicker*
It took several viewings, though, to fully grasp that, yeah, Ellen probably killed In-Custody-Guy (I forgot his name).
Or -- and I so can't believe that I never picked on this? but -- when questioning Gaius, the reporter just HAS to choose medical jaragon when referring to Roslin's presidential future. "Is President Roslin's political career terminal or is there hope of resusitating it?" THAT WAS SO AWESOME. Although, completely accidental on the writer's part. I'm sure. Yeah. Okay.
"And he's rather grey-- t. He's GREAT." *snort*
All and all? Laura Roslin rocks so hard. Yo.
The iPod just randomly played this song. OH, IT LOVES ME! IT REALLY, REALLY LOVES ME!
edit: Whoa. Yo. BSG's getting it's very own Finale Friday, since both Stargates are done next week and "Kobol's Last Gleaming" is in two parts. Actually, you know, that's a good thing. I've seen it all, but watching all three shows is likely to get me shocked into a need for artificial resusitation.
