lee adama, you need a haircut and a records inventory!
On my To Do list for tonight I have BLOG written down with a big ticky box next to it. I'm trying to get up to two or three times a week over there, (so that when I finally do reveal that I have one to friends and family and the world, there will be posts there?), but mostly all I want to do is write about Colonial One's records management system. I bet the retention schedule is such that when it comes time for disposal Laura airlocks her laundry reports and anything relating to how much she loves screwing democracy. YES SHE DOES.
So, Gaeta has been my favourite character ever since he fanboyed Baltar back in S1, and I am feeling ambivalent about this new direction. On the one hand: YES, THEY'RE USING HIM PROPERLY. PLS SHOW MOAR (ANY?) MAKEOUTS WITH HOSHI. On the other hand: this mutiny is going to end in tears. Sad gay amputee tears. I mean, we've seen how mutinies go in this universe. Score is currently 23174:0. So not well! But they're also almost always misguided. Mutinying when the admiral's too busy having gentle candlelit old-person sex with the president is maybe somehow more righteous? He's on the pills! She's driven mad by her own mortality! Someone's gotta do it!
That said, probably the only emotionally tolerable characters left are A) Helo and B) Caprica Six + foetus. And I still like Tigh, but I'm biased. So I'm pretty sure we're not supposed to actually be into the get-rid-of-cylons thing. But does that mean it's pretty much set up to fail? Idk. Felix better watch his back, I guess.
Basically all I like about this morose depressing shit is that it means they're going to turn this bad boy around in a few episodes and give us a happy ending. That's my prediction: bait and switch. We'll have more lame flashbacks to life as a Cylon yuppie in Kitsilano, and then everyone will get gay-married (Chief and Hotdog! 2gether 4ever!) and eat a lot of flaxseed and leafy vegetables on some kind of rain-soaked pebble-strewn beach. Tori can wear stylish boots and short pants, and everyone else will be in North Face gear. UGH, VANCOUVER. PARADISE LOST, OBVS.
In other, even more boring, news, I spent today reading and analyzing Canada's Privacy Act (what the fed.gov is allowed to do with your information) and Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (what everyone else is allowed to do with your information, with the added bonus of an entire section translating what "afix thy seal" means if you're emailing a pdf). IT WAS REALLY BORING, GUYS. IT MADE ME REALLY GRUMPY. TAKE PITY ON ME AND MY EXCRUCIATING CAREER PATH.
