Torchwood, Battlestar Galactica



For the first time since leaving Buffy, James Marsters did *not* chew the scenery. Color me stunned.

For the first time since Friday Night Lights a tv show made me *cry*. Not have a single perfect tear slide down my face. It made me cry, full of gasping breaths, snotty nose, achey throat, hands clutched at my chest *cry*. It was all Toshiko's fault. If she hadn't have said, "because you're breaking my heart." I wouldn't have. I managed to pull it back together after a little while and then she had the good-bye message and I lost it all over again. I went through half a dozen napkins blowing my nose and wiping my face.

The whole Grey thing was stupid. I'm having extreme difficulty wrapping my head around Jack being buried alive for a millenia. I'm having even more difficult with him putting Grey in the cryo unit. In my head, Ianto has already killed the fucker and set up the unit so if Jack ever decides to thaw him out and have a little family reunion he'll think the unit malfunctioned. What a cracked out, completely out of the blue, ridiculous storyline.

Favorite moment: Ianto and Tosh "Sorted". I loved them. They seemed to have such a behind the scenes elbow rubbing relationship. We caught glimpses of it every once in a while, and now it's gone and we'll never see it again. That *really* sucks.





Much, much, *much* better than last season. I still don't believe that there is an actual "Plan". Not for the Cylons or RDM - and that irritates the hell out of me. Balthar's storyline continues to drive me nuts, there should be more Gaeta (there should ALWAYS be more Gaeta), Lee continues to be the biggest pussy in the galaxy, Starbuck is nuts, Roslin is nuts, and poor Bill is surrounded by pussified, bug-shaggin' crazy, secretly Cylon frak ups.

Bill should hang around with Doc Cottle as he's the only one fit to keep him company. Of course, that means Cottle probably is the last Cylon model.

Loooove your BSG comments. I agree that there is no "Plan". None whatsoever. Hopefully, though, the season will prove us wrong.

I think that there might have been a plan, if BSG had only lasted 2 seasons. I think that renewal for 3 and 4 caught them by surprise. I'm crossing my fingers that they wrap it up nicely with no more "Along the Watchtower" moments.

*that* was nuts.

At least they took "and they have a plan" out of the credits.

I didn't notice that. That doesn't reassure me at all, but it does lower my expectations somewhere.

I really love Gaius but I'm getting very confused by the religious element to his story. I'm going to presume that the Six in his head somehow arranged for the little boy to be cured? But then I'm still not sure how that works or if she's real or what. I wonder if we're ever going to find out...

Jesus!Gaius is killing me - he's best (most entertaining) when he's interacting with Head!Six and everyone around him thinks he's nuts. I know Head!Six is all about the one true god and that that is integral to the plot, but it. is. killing. me. I wish we knew more about Head!Six - especially how she relates to the other Cylons, I don't think any version of her knows about her existence.

It's all very confusing.

Yeah it is. And it's been confusing for MANY YEARS NOW. It is time they explained themselves!

I really want Gaius to get away from the crazy cult of easy women and get back to interacting with the main cast. I love how he reacts to their utter contempt for him. ♥

I do like him having the easy sex and scary-yet-erotic shave, but he's better with the others. Not to mention those chicks give me the heebie jeebies. The look on his face when he noticed the altar of Gaius was hysterical.

Totally. His, "Right." was priceless, because srsly. WHAT. AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, *WHYYYYY*.

I am always amused by the amount of sex Gaius gets compared to everyone else. Woman cannot resist him!

I know! It's like they only allow so much sex and arbitrarily decide 95% of it goes to Gaius and the other 5% to Starbuck.

Fuck!!!

I just posted a whole comment on BSG and it's gone!! I muct go cry and then try to rewrite it.

It was funny and insightful, just so you know...

[identity profile] turnonmyheels.livejournal.com 2008-04-08 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I believe you! I wish I could read it!

::pouts::

love that icon, don't think I've seen it before.

*mwah*

[identity profile] sassangel.livejournal.com 2008-04-08 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
You have no idea how much it makes me smile when you reply while I'm online. Little connection there, little connection :)

Okay, my BSG comments which if they get eaten again I will lose my frakkin mind. Get it 'frakkin'...

Okay, moving on. My comment went somewhere along the lines of...

Just finished watching season two, a witty spoiler whore comment, Gauis annoys me and amuses me at the same time, why do we care about Gaita?, don't care if it's not PC to love starbuck, she wears tank tops and does push ups and punches people, I love her, No idea what the plan is or if they find Earth but someone better after I've marathoned for the last month and am still a season behind. Everyone is crazy? Whyfor? I don't buy Tigh being a cylon, that's just stupid. More spoiler whore comments...

and that was it in a not so funny or insightful nutshell. *bows*

I have had no excuse to use that icon until today. Makes me happy.

And I just remembered.

Lee is a dumbass I don't like him at all. I adore Doc Cottle especially when he smokes. I like the cylons more than the humans, just saying.

[identity profile] turnonmyheels.livejournal.com 2008-04-08 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't stand Lee. Not. At. All. He's a whiny-sour-faced-little-bitch.

I feel much the same way about Sam Winchester. You could say I have an anti-type.

The very best Cylon ever is played by Lucy Lawless, aka Xena - I don't think you meet her until season 3 though.

It makes me smile too *g*

Starbuck is my favorite because she punches people in the face, calls people the wrong name during sex, is generally frakked up and insane, not to mention completely hot *g*

We care about Gaita because he is cute and smart and is sekritly in love with Gaius but doesn't know it.

It's beyond stupid that Tigh is a cylon, which makes me wonder if you're ready to read my Starbuck/Tigh hatesex fic. But it's got spoilers for season three.

Everyone is nuts. Bug shaggin crazy. Of course I would be too if I lived through armageddon only to be chased by killer robots across the galaxy.
