I feel so bad for Dee, she looked like she was going to cry. I think Dee needs to call Lee girly names since he has no balls(at least when it comes to Kara). Poor Dee, she deserves better than how Lee is treating her. She better make him grovel just for a kiss, let alone a roll in the hay.
And Anders. =( Sorry your wife is too frakking crazy that she'll throw you away like that.
Mom and Dad were awesome like always. But seriously, frak already. You know you want to.
I do feel awful for Dee. I think she believed that he loved her. And he may. But he obviously loves Kara far more--he's certainly more conflicted about her (that, at least, I've always seen. Kara is like this freaky unobtainable prize that he wants--first his brother had her, then his dad, and now Sam has her).
There better be some boot-licking, damnit.
Mom and Dad are having sex. It involves handholding. And possibly her desk. A lot.
Thank you for that insight of Mum and Dad having sex on her desk. Don't think they get to manage it too often on the Presidential Desk, more likely in his quarters after the boxing match and she cleaning up the bleeding and while he is down for the count, SHE TAKES HIM. QUEEN TAKES BISHOP a chess move I think. Want to see more, but no flesh - let the watchers use thier own imagination.
What? No mention of the absolute joy that was Tigh and Ellen? Other than the Mom and Dad bits and everything Tigh...I found the whole thing rather cringe-worthy. I have to wonder if this is how people with inherent Sam/Jack hesitations must have felt during shippy SG-1 Eps. If so, I have more compassion now. I just want to kick Lee in the head.
AHAHAH. This is a good point. I shall have to eta3 about my beloved Ellen and her fabulous legs (not to mention getting her husband to drink Starbuck's boy under the table)...
God, yes. I think I've even had this reaction during them sometimes (I know I cringe when Teh List references things). (At least this wasn't the BSG Threads? Shit. Maybe it was. Damnit. I want glowy squid people, then. Because at least Oma and the House O' Pancakes wasn't badly pasted-on....)
omgods, yes! It's the BSG Threads! I do remember thinking as I watched "there is way too much crazy shippiness going on here." I really hate it when my shows go hard core ship. That's what my imagination and fic is for, bitches! Stop mucking up the show with your half-hearted, half-arsed attempts to give people what you think they want! people are too stupid to know what they want anyway My love for the stupid cute that is S/J couldn't even stand to watch Threads. But Ellen. Even just that glimpse of her was enough to make it worth it.
Oh...and I wasn't completely imagining the whole Adama guilt at letting people get too close being aimed at Roslin at the end right? When he turns to her and says "Madam President" with full emo!meaning. Feeling a bit guilty for shagging the ex-now-present-president of the colonies, eh? Oh Bill...did shaving off your moustache make you all emo forever? He's obviously never heard of the Porn For Peace philosophy.
Which makes me laugh. I seem to recall cursing about the idea that BSG would ever do their own version of Threads. And now here it is. And I'm laughing (I am not high on cold meds! Not yet, anyway).
And, honestly, I'm all for my Kara/Anders being completely off-screen (I might bitch and complain about not getting pretty groping and kissing in good lighting, but...). In fact, I was hoping this season would simply see them being in the foreground separately, except on occasion when they'd do the, "So, sex?" "Ok!" thing. But I'm cheap and easy like that.
No. I think I remember seeing that and cursing and going, "Laura, you're not going to let him get away with that!"
Porn for Peace! It works much better than hitting everyone.
That's why I said I was confused. I liked bits and I didn't like bits. And some of the bits I liked, I kind of want to hate, and some of the bits I didn't like, I wanted to like.
I have this feeling that if I weren't irrational about Kara/Lee, I'd see that more.
Baby Adama-Roslins. Dear god, the rest of the fleet would tremble.
The problem was that they kept reusing the same flashbacks, which kind of irritated after awhile. Especially since I've heard they cut other scenes.
This is the first S3 episode I've seen all the way through. And... well, pretty much exactly what you said. I fell off the couch laughing when Lee said, "You actually literally drank Anders under the table". (Oh Lee, when you are snarky I love you so much.) And I squee'd loudly and excitedly every time Mom and Dad were on screen. (So. Doing it.) And Chief and Cally and Helo and Sharon were cute. But...
The most emotional Kara/Lee scene, for me, was the three second flashback to Colonial Day, season 1. The friendship, angst, sexual tension, history, everything that is between Kara and Lee is so perfectly expressed in those three seconds.
And on top of that, there was more anger, hurt, betrayal, and love in the punches exchanged after she slept with Baltar than there was in the entire boxing scene here.
They have a season and a half since then and they can't manage to even come close.
Sam is a cheap drunk. I love this canon (even if Tigh was matching drinks with him, it's still damned amusing).
And, if I take two steps back, I can even agree about the season one stuff. I can look at the Colonial Day dress, and the punches, and go, "Yeah, he wanted her, and yeah, she wanted him." But, dude, it's been a year and a half of sometimes shitty writing and it should be over and done with. They can move on now, I hope?
ARGH. I wish the 'argument' hadn't been so, so, predictable and soap opera cliche. Bah.
Thank the Gods that there are some sane people around who don't see Anders as a Lee-replacement and that Kara's whole relationship with Sam was a lie based on her fleeing this great love of Lee. Puh-lease.
That night in the woods meant more to Lee than it did to Kara. After it was over, he was ready to have a bright shiny future, but Kara saw it as a complication. She didn't have any intention of leaving Sam, while Lee was ready to toss Dee in a heartbeat. Lee asked her point blank what she saw her future as and if she was with the person she wanted to be with. She made her choice by marrying Sam that next day. How many times is she going to pick Sam over him before Lee gets the clue?!
On another note, I loved that Sam and Kara were hanging out with Tigh and Ellen. Just the looks that Tigh and Ellen gave them kinda had that "remember when we were like that" vibe. And I bet that Sam is the only guy in the fleet that Ellen would never make a move on for fear that Kara would kick her as
Hah! Even if I hadn't been predisposed to dislike the concept, I would have never considered it.
I'm currently sane and am fine with her loving both of them. But that she married Sam because she was too scared to marry Lee just... doesn't work for me.
The hanging out with Tigh and Ellen was adorable (I really must post the screencaps from that, because Sam telling Saul horrible stories while Ellen and Kara sit there with "Boys are stupid" looks on their faces is just PRICELESS).
There's so much more that they could have put in those flashbacks. Sigh. They could have skipped the dancing and the My Heart Will Go On bits. And given us people interacting like real people instead of paper dolls.

Plus, the entire episode was trite.
