sff: I managed to think edition
Also, be sober.
BSG only, though I watched classic Mission Impossible and it was awesome and Duck Dodgers, and it was awesome, too.
Things I liked about the episode.
1. Ellen. <3 <3 <3 <3 Except for that part where she isn't telling Bill Adama to shove his emo useless self and stealing the hot pilots and going off to rescue Hera.
2. BITCHY SIX. Of course, she quickly dies. BUT FURTHER PROOF THAT PILOTSIXES ARE AWESOME and will integrate into pilot culture well.
3. Roslin being all "I'm bored with you old man, gimme the fucking weed" at Adama.
4. Opera House!
5. "You will always be my Sam." Hey, I think half of us have written that scene, minus the dead guy in the tank of course.
6. Tensions between cylons and humans during maintenance stuff, yay.
7. Caprica and Gaius talking. FINALLY. Someone remembered they used to talk.
8. SONJA vs Quorum. <3 (although, like, really? Really, Sonja? You're going to listen to Adama? After being all OMG WE SHOULD RUN AWAY RFN for four episodes running?)
Things that made no sense:
1. So, last episode, when the Cylons went "Let's hook Anders up to the datastream", Cottle's reply was "gtfo of my infirmary, you crazy people." And yet this episode, he apparently is all for it--and without Kara's consent. Which Cottle had needed before to do shit, like, y'know, operate on Sam's brain. (I think Cottle would notice if they unhooked Sam from those machines and hauled him off to a room nearby with weird and wacky technology inside of it)
2. Where's the brain doc? How come he's not there to be all gleeful about them hooking Sam up to shit, since, y'know, he was so happy about Sam having a bullet in his brain?
3. I don't really give a shit about him, but where the fuck was Tyrol?
4. Boomer is like a flip-flop thingy. One minute she's Cavil's programmed RealDoll, the next they're claiming she's a real person.
5. Hey, Lee! Nice to see you again! Hilarious that you're using the pilot ready room to converse with them all.
Things that were boring and/or pissed me off:
1. Adama. Paint. Ugh. We saw this scene in Sine Qua Non or even prior. wtf. Don't need to see it AGAIN.
2. Sam as hybrid. Really, Ron? You're really going to go the schlocky, pointless, SF route when you claim this show is All About the Characters? Really?
3. Lee, after a month+ of ignoring Kara, suddenly remembers he can get laid.
4. I find it hilarious that Ron claimed last week in the podcast that Sam was originally going to wake up and be drinking with Kara in the bar at the end of that episode.
5. KILLING A SIX. AGAIN. To save some stupid human.
6. Um. Hera hated Boomer. I don't see her bonding that fast with her. Sorry.
7. Why are we subjected to yet more Saul and Bill Bonding Time? I DO NOT CARE ABOUt THEM. AND THEY ARE FUCKING BORING.
8. I am quite certain we will not see Kara and Sam's Ultimate Playlist Adventures conversation.
9. Helo apologizing to Adama. WTF WTF WTF WTF.
10. Helo and Athena still actually being there. HE SHOT HER THAT ONE TIME, YOU KNOW....
In closing:
1. NOT ENOUGH PAULLA.
2. WTF HYBRID.
