BSG 2.11 - I loved it!

Jan 09, 2006 20:39

I have now read my way through a large number of reviews/comments on the latest BSG episode, mostly those linked from galacticanews, but the first one I read, by koalathebear, still is the one I not only agree with most but recommend reading to everyone who watches the show. Especially her thoughts on the matter of Roslin deciding that Cain needs to be killed make hers ( Read more... )

fangirling, bsg

"Another one of her crazy-ass stunts - thank the gods!"

I loved him for that. He's a character who it would probably be deeply scary to have in charge of you, because of his many flaws, but somehow he redeems himself by having stuff that he is actually really good at, within prescribed limits. He doesn't want to lead, knows that he'd be bad at it, but he's a very able follower.

Personnel matters, however, are not his forte. :-)

Well, that is why he makes a much better XO than Commander.

Here's to a long and healthy life for Papadama! ;)

I haven't seen any BSG (no cable and no d/ling episodes for me given my pitiful dialup capabilites) but I've heard enough to know I'd be all shuddery about this plot line. Scary to me. I don't like violence to women, even if they are Cylon-women.

Well, the show definitely makes it clear that it is something you would and should find scary. Just like the cylons using human women for breeding programmes. Eeeep.

It is not nice, definitely. It is war.

why nobody - as in no (re)viewer of the show - questions Fiske's statements.

I've noticed few are questioning Gina's statements either. An Abused/ Tortured Cylon = Honest, Trustworthy Cylon? So... is that saying: Torture works? Here's the solution to the Cylon Plan?

Or have most folks 'reassigned' human reactions to a cylon Because of the abuse/ torture?

::sick twisted mind have I:: I should probably blame it on darth koala but, she's just too cute

lucie_p thank goodness there's someone else who finds Six prancing around in scanty clothing/near no clothing boring.

I have someone on my friends' list who absolutely idolises/worships Six - layout, ALL user icons are Six, all icons she MAKES are Six and yet lately she's been criticising Sharon to me. Sharon is very flawed but is the most 'human' of the Cylons (presuming that she stays 'good'). It's a fictional show but I just don't think I could ever bring myself to worship a beautiful psychopath :P

As to kiaforrest's comment ..... rumours of my evil are largely exaggerated....... Muahahahaha ;)

Really? I have come to shrug at the silliness of men, who apparently need some Barbie-lookalike to watch any tv show (be she called Six or Seven or whatever), but someone actually being a fan of the character goes beyond my comprehension here.

And I am so very afraid of teh ebil koala *shakes with fear*

lucie_p January 10 2006, 12:32:26 UTC

You're right - nothing sick&twisted about that. It is just that I prefer to read as little as possible about Six (much as I prefer to see as little as possible of her), so that I did never notice this fact. ;)

And they tried to make torture work once before, on Leoben; we should keep that in mind as well.
