hates any man the thing he would not kill?
Insight into my boring life: I usually think these things out on the elliptical. Unfortunately I had minor medication weirdness which resulted in me not eating enough before my most recent workout, and therefore much verbosity and wackiness below. You've been warned.

Tyrol the resistance leader is back, HE IS THE GROWN-UP NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM
OMG !!! *runs around headless* I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO THIS.
And Gaeta is like “I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME HERE!” and Baltar is like “but baby I want you back!” and Gaeta isn’t having it and so he’s all “YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE!
This conversation is NOT EVEN SUBTEXT. HOLY SHIT.
I really believe it would not bother me anywhere near so much if there were gay characters who were not vengeful murderers.
Ick, ugh, oh, unfortunate. What are you doing man.
The show pounds home the Kara/Lee and Bill/Laura parallels when Bill and Laura decide to press pause in the middle of this whole government overthrow to be adorable horny teenagers for a second because doesn’t it feel good to be alive? Even if it’s just for this moment right here right now. But OMG I had to pause the stream to laugh at Lee looking away from the wild makeout session.
I WAS IN STITCHES.
I am not just saying this because I like Gaeta and find Zarek sleazily hilarious, but THEY GET A FUCKING TRIAL.
SO MUCH WORD. EVERYONE, I AM DISAPPOINT. SO DISAPPOINT. :( :( :(
“Felix-“/”No. And please, no religion. I’m fine with how things have worked out, really, Gaius, I am.”
*bursts into tears*
I cannot fail to point out LEE IN THIS ARC in the suit with the gun, which raises the VERY SERIOUS QUESTION of why Jamie Bamber is not James Bond.
BY GOD YOU ARE CORRECT. WORLD, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU.

RIGHT? RIGHT? They have a hidden destiny which nobody even suspects because they are a little overlooked because of the different social norms of Airon/Yorkshire, where they grew up. BUT THEY LEAD THE RESISTANCE, TIME AND AGAIN, B/C THEY ARE BAMFS.

I just adore that look on Gaeta's face as he answers the phone. Because it's totally the look I would give before launching into YOU LYING MOTHERFUCKER! WHO IS SHE!?! love these two twisted kids and their twisted relationship, whatever it is.
I love how the very first time these tendencies show up in Gaeta, it's about Baltar. The episode when Shelley showed up and left the tape, and Gaeta - because he knows better than everyone else - reviews the tape and saves him. It's a tiny little moment (and the right thing to do in any case, as most of Gaeta's decisions are until now) but it fits perfectly with...all this.
I'm so pissed about the lack of gay characters. Cain's short run and Gaeta's fall are parts of well-rounded stories that make sense for the characters and as part of the show. Those stories should be told, and sexual preference is part of who these characters are.
But there should be a few regular characters, with y'know, less horrible relationships to balance it out. (Like, if Sam or Dee considered a same-gender relationship during their respective off-phases? Or if Seelix and Racetrack hit it off? I'd be fine with that. There's no healthy relationships on this show except maybe Helo/Athena and A/R, but most of those relationships don't end in...this.)
JAMIE FOR BOND! JAMIE FOR BOND! Is there a petition somewhere? THIS COULD BE SO GOOD. No more Quantum of Solace bullshit. Actual awesome dramatic action.

:'D
I seriously need to rewatch this episode just for the Gaeta/Baltar-ness. Alas, my friend has my S4 DVDs currently...

This is true. It is NOT THAT DIFFICULT. This show is weird with its progressiveness. And now I'm craving fic.
A PETITION MUST BE BROUGHT ABOUT. I'm sure the folks at bamber_news would approve.
