Blood and Chrome

Dec 15, 2012 17:44

Like I said I would be, I'm back, having watched Blood and Chrome. Let put aside my being an insufferable and incorrigible BSG franchise fanboy (which means I'm bound to like almost anything it delivers). Objectively, it's a solid intro, but if they leave it at that, I don't think it carries much weight. It gives an interesting insight into the ( Read more... )

Wow, you did a real review! XDD Awesome)))
I think I agree with pretty much everything here. LOL, Star Trek! Come to think of it, it's true! Even Coker kind of reminds me of crazy!Bones. Re: the crazy guy in the ice planet, I instantly thought of Armageddon and that cracked Russian cosmonaut. XD And the ice planet reminded me of Star Wars obviously. XD
I agree that young Bill is super-cute. XD They must continue if only for that)))
I loved Tricia Helfer's cameo. I wish we'd seen more of her, both in terms of time and appearance. It's interesting how the Cylons are so hateful towards humanity now but how they evolve in BSG, esp. season 4.
Loved the Caprica refs too. Damn, I wanna know what happened to Graystone Industries and the rest of the Adama family! T_T

I'd say it's more ramble-ramble-ramble than an actual review. XPP I might need to rewatch it (or marathon the entire BSG) to get an actual coherent impression.

Haha, I hadn't thought of Armageddon but now that you mention it... XPP

I adore Tricia Helfer. One line, and it's already brilliant both in terms of writing and deliverance. I'd say this series's got some great lines.

*sigh* Don't we all? They're hiding the truth from us. I guess they all died horrible for angst reasons. XPP

I hope you don't mind that I linked to this post from my LJ))) I can't be bothered to write a review now))) You touched upon everything I would. XD
I agree, she's gorgeous. <3
LOL, but horrible deaths must happen on screen (or at least be mentioned), otherwise what's the point? Clearly their PhD in Horribleness has taugh them nothing!
Btw were you surprised that Coker survived? I honestly was! To the point where when he appeared at the end, I was pretty sure he was a hallucination or smth. XDDD I think even Bill was surprised, the way he was staring. Damn, now I want a huge series about these two. XD But I checked AO3, there aren't even any fics. T_T

I'm flattered. XPP

Haha, yes, I kind of expected Coker to croak. But I'm glad he didn't. I'd say we now have fanfic material (write write?) but the fandom seems to be dead-ish. For B&C specifically, I mean.

Also, I think this is the song that you're looking for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDAedoUZPNE It's from The Plan. O_o

OMG yes, I think that's the one, just a different arrangement! Okay, I fail. How could I not recognise it? Xpp Thank you!
