The south Australia fires - how horrific. I know the hell of wildfires and I really feel for them.
I've been fighting off the plague the last few days. But I did manage to make homemade chicken soup. A giant batch, actually, and I've now got enough in the freezer for 8 meals. :D I've recently discovered the joys of homemade chicken soup. I never liked it as a kid when my mom would make it, but she'd do it a very 1970s Betty Crocker-type way - sort of blah flavors and mushy canned vegetables. My version has garlic, ginger, green onions, a dash of soy sauce and carrots as a flavor base. Then all that gets chucked out when it's done (they've already given their all, as Alton Brown would say), and I add fresh carrots and green onions. Oh, I do keep the chicken. /chicken soup rambling
I swear radios should be banned in apartments. Unless you live in a detached house, DO NOT play the radio after 10 p.m. or before 8 a.m. I don't care how much of a normal volume you think it is, it's NOT. Sound carries and invades other people's lives. If you will DIE if you can't listen to music during those times, get a damn iPod.
Okay, so I was sort of on NyQuil when I watched this, so it's kind of fragmented in my mind.
Did Zarek plan on killing the quorum from the start, and that's why he brought them along? Or did that only happen once things started getting a bit nuts? If he did plan it from the start, why go through the motions of a "trial" for Adama? Why not just execute him straight off? To give some sort of appearance of justice to the soldiers that were following him? But wouldn't that same reason then be a problem when it came to the quorum? That whole thing was a big "wait..." for me. COULD HAVE BEEN THE NYQUIL.
Anyway, it's about time Roslin took a stand. I still say she needs to resign. Well...maybe wait a bit until they assemble a new quorum and gain some stability. But then she really needs to step down. Let her go spend her remaining days with Adama. (Preferably without showing us since I seem to react like a 9-year-old boy with an "ew! *changes channel*" whenever they go at it.)
I'm not sure how I feel about the ending. Was it implied there had been some sort of trial? Or did they just execute them?
But anyway there wasn't nearly enough of Kara shooting things. You can never have enough of Kara shooting things.
I currently resemble a drowned rat since I had to go to the bank at lunch. At my place it's currently 48 and raining. That's...really close to snowing, right? OMG.
