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.

OMG HAVE TO SLEEP but I want to taaaaaaaaaalk about this episode. More, because the 4K words above were not enough. I am ashamed of myself right now.

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.

This conversation is NOT EVEN SUBTEXT. HOLY SHIT

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.

Oh man I am bone tired BUT MORE TALK SURE WHY NOT.

BUT THEY LEAD THE RESISTANCE, TIME AND AGAIN, B/C THEY ARE BAMFS.

:'D

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

But there should be a few regular characters, with y'know, less horrible relationships to balance it out.

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.
