So, I call Number Six from Battlestar Galactica "Red." I've called her that since the miniseries, because a good percentage of her outfits are red in hue. Also I find it a snappy name and I like to give people nicknames (example: almost every single person in BSG.) Anyway, they're all Red, for the most part. I know there's Caprica and Natalie and Gina and Unusually Pretty Red from season 4.5 with Brown hair.
Hello, beautiful Red!
Anyway, in about hour 90 thousand of our drive home, Mel and I were playing with her new deck of cards. She got it from some art museum in DC and so the cards all have different images of Andy Warhol artworks and so none of the suits have colors. Since I am incredibly rusty when it comes to playing any games with cards, (up to including the game 'Go Fish,') I was asking Mel the rules of some game that was very complicated but involved requesting things. So, because I'm dense, I ask as an example, "Can I ask for red?" meaning hearts or diamonds.
Melanie gave me this look that is at once horrifying and withering. "Do you mean a six? Because that is just pathetic, Madi."
Oh BSG. You take my life and make it better
