Taking A Break From All Your Worries

May 17, 2010 17:36

Before watching Taking A Break From All Your Worries last night, I was dinking around at a website everyone should know about: sporcle.com. It's a website full of quizzes. Last year, when I was in transition and wasn't in college or at work, I used Sporcle to learn all the countries of the world. Now I can knock them off in a little over five ( Read more... )

#5 has always confused me. They do it with Mr. Hoshi, too. I don't know if it has to do with their job, since they both do pretty much the same thing, but I don't get it.

I get your point on Dee and her confession to Lee, but I've always thought it was actually very touching. She knows she'll lose him sooner rather than later, but she loves him so much that it's worth the pain she knows she's going to suffer. He's totally not worth it, but it's still beautiful in its own way.

And YES, please, someone bestow Mary with all the acting prizes! She's so frakkin' amazing. Her rage is so palpable, and those tears later... whew. It makes ME tired. I only hope she didn't have to do multiple takes.

I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree about Dee, but your point is definitely well taken.

Mary's dedication to the role is epic. Didn't she strain a bunch of muscles in her back after she had to do all that hardcore breathing in Epiphanies? She's such an incredible bad ass.

#2 - I thought it was Sharon and Helo singing to Hera to begin with, which made it even creepier when we saw who was really singing ( ... )

7- I lurve Sam. Gods, what I would have given for Laura tapping that in canon.

9- This is a really cool idea. Since he's already paranoid and anxious, he's almost immune to the drug's effects in getting him to talk because of it. Had they drugged . . . I don't know . . . Jammer. (Random). They probably would have gotten more information. They were probably lucky to get what they got.

11- I think I agree with you about this.

17- You're right. She never orders the death of any human (unless you count Hera who is half human). Indeed, her reputation as Madame Airlock is exaggerated, too. She airlocked three cylons on two different occasions. Yeah, she was going to airlock Sharon, but she kept her around even after Kobol. Just as Caprica remains.

#7 - they were seemingly so friendly on New Caprica, trusting each other and all that, and then back in space, they barely ever spoke to each other again. Such a shame. It would have been cool for Laura to have had at least a friend outside of the military and political arena, and Sam's just so sweet.

#17 - it's just one of those things that passes into legend. Laura Roslin is such a badass that people will believe ANYTHING.

They were really friendly on New Caprica. She put Hera's life in Sam's hands and she trusted those random dudes because she trusted Sam. My personal canon? Before the occupation, Starbuck and Laura had lots of illicit sex. During the occupation, after Kara had been taken prisoner, Laura and Sam had lots of illicit sex, but Laura never let on about her relationship with Sam's wife.

I just want it to be true. So much.
