Scifi Saturday

[woodface]

1. I am sick and tired of seeing Daniel's face. One Daniel episode is alright, but I'm overdosing here. Daniel is a weak character to carry this many episodes in a row.
2. They should show more Cameron. BB is basically just standing around and making a one liner every now and then while Daniel gets to BORE ME TO DEATH.
3. I WANT SAM BACK!
4. Didn't we see this episode already?
5. HOW THE FRAK CAN THEY COMPLETELY NOT SHOW THAT CAMERON IS VIRTUALLY DYING? HOW CAN THEY GLOSS OVER THIS IN FAVOUR DANIEL WHINES TIME? HOW?
6. Lam and Beau? *snores*

First of all, before I continue; I WILL PERSONALLY KILL RON MOORE IF HE GOT KARA PREGNANT (NO NOT IN THAT WAY YOU SICKO).

Ah, where to start. Let's go to the least fun part; Galactica. Yaay! Adama is back. Only, not so much. I was hoping for him to use his brain, to bring some sort of order back to the fleet. Instead he's walking around crying over a Cylon. I'm trying to feel touched here, but it's failing miserably.

Roslin is really going down the insanity path and she's having the devil whispering in her ear. I did appreciate that they made her reluctant to play the prophet.

Right, let's go to the good stuff now. Kara. *sighs* Seriously, there is no better way than to start an episode with Kara walking around in black underwear. Good morning, Caprica! She and Anders were cute (is it Anders? The Cylon did seem to say Andrews). See, I have no problem with this. Kara find a cute bloke, she fraks him and she's happy with that. So I'm happy too. The fact that there was lots of skin and cleavage and cute making out helped too. I think I'm just a fan of Kara!sex.

Kara getting shot. My thoughts were exactly in this order:
- Did she get shot?
- Is she spacing out and hearing Leoben call?
- Did Leoben plant a homebeacon in her head and it's ringing?
- Oh no, phew, she's shot after all.
- Holy frak, she's shot! Helo come get her.
- Helo, seriously, get your ass back, Kara's down.
- Much flailing.

After that, I'm completely torn about the storyline. When Kara woke up, I kinda expected Leoben to be the one sitting next to her. It would have worked. Maybe all the Cylons are drooling over Kara because she will be the one female human who will fall in love with a Cylon and get impregnated by them... So Lee's a Cylon.

The second the Cylon was doing the pelvic exam, red flags went up in my head and I was flailing and threatening to kill him if he impregnated her. Did he? *freaks*

Ah, the abuse card. I know a lot of people right away shouted that Kara's mother physically abused her when we heard about her in Flesh and Bone. I was reluctant to agree here, there are many ways of abuse and I opted for her mother having little faith in her daughter and teaching her to suck things up. So now we have confirmation that Kara was abused. I'm not sure I'm happy they went this way, but it is canon so I'll just suck it up. Besides, I just wanted to hug her because vulnerable Kara is just... I don't know what it is. She's so pretty when broken. *sighs* Wow, and did she break.

I can't tell you how glad I was when she made it out of there. Although, I think someone is really going to have to pick up the pieces. Kara's mind just shattered right there and she completely lost sight of her own mission. I love that they made Anders remember for her. I loved the last scene too. I was a bit freaked out by the whole "it's Sharon and this time we don't mind that she's a Cylon" thing. Okay, Kara minded somewhat, but I would have expected her to want to lynch her by this time. It was also cute how Helo keeps sticking by Kara's side decide her shouting and lashing out at him and Boomer. *pats him* Good boy.

Ah, Anders. *sniffs* I'll miss him. That goodbye between him and Kara was just touching. She completely lost her bearing and he reminded her of it. *sighs* I doubt she's going to make it back to rescue him. I do think he'll try his hardest taking down those farms. I don't think he'll ever lose that dogtag either. Sad, he was pretty.

Of course, at the end of this episode, I have to point out that Kara was frakking hot in this. And I mean really hot.

[woodface]

OMG woman, watch the show already!

First of all, before I continue; I WILL PERSONALLY KILL RON MOORE IF HE GOT KARA PREGNANT (NO NOT IN THAT WAY YOU SICKO).

p.s. yes, i am, in fact, crazy! thanks you and good night.

[woodface]

*laughs* Sounds good to me.

Night!

Mmm, the karaflesh. I hope they continue in this vein. Speakin' of which- have you seen this? It's not a spoiler, I swears.

[woodface]

Oh my. Lyssie showed me one of the other pics but...

Oooooooooo, she's punching. *stares* Is that the famous scene where she cut her knuckles open and was bleeding in the gloves because she was punching too hard?

[whatimages.livejournal.com]

Cutting knuckles open? What? I didn't hear this story.

You gotta love angry!sweaty!aggressive!Kara. Yummy.

[woodface]

I have no clue where I heard or read that. Katee was saying she had a scene where she was beating a punch bag. She was really getting into it and beating the bag really hard that it actually hurt. She was thinking the gloves were getting sweaty too, only to find out when she took them off that she had completely torn open the knuckles and was bleeding.

Seriously, Katee gets way too intense. They constantly beat the girl up or make her do scenes in tight quarters while she's sick. She seems to love it though. (Apparently the pyramid thingie was very intense too.)

[whatimages.livejournal.com]

....She needs to lighten up, methinks. Still, she's an amazing actress.

Pretty icon, hee :D

[woodface]

She's devoted, I think it shows in her acting. I was cringing with every step she took in that hospital, you could so see that Kara was in pain. (And my mind kept shouting for Helo and Anders to show up and Kara her already and dude, when she had to take that dive at the end OUCH.)

Thanks, it's by meggan_2004. =o)

[whatimages.livejournal.com]

Oh, absolutely it shows. That intensity is what makes her awesome <333

I know what you mean about that. This show breaks my wee heart. Sigh.

[woodface]

*nods* And yet we keep watching.

[whatimages.livejournal.com]

Because- dude, Karaflesh.
(One track mind? Yes. Yes, really)

[woodface]

I KNOW! This show could go bad and I'd still watch just for Kara. *crosses fingers and hopes RM doesn't get out of control*

[whatimages.livejournal.com]

He could make eveyrone into tinfoil hat-wearing aliens in pink spandex, and I'd still watch it just for Kara. and the K/L UST

Icon. Hee.

[woodface]

Yes, but by then I will mock the badness.

Heh, you're going to hate my next post... maybe. Phew, nearly done I think. It's looooooooooong.

[whatimages.livejournal.com]

Your icons are making me jealous.

Hey, if you don't like Kara/Lee, you don't like it. You may end up screwed by canon, and I totally think you're crazy but there you go ^_^

[woodface]

I love my icons. *g*

I don't like it, I just can't help it. I know I'll be screwed over about it, but there it is. It they wait a few seasons I might be more open to it, though. But they probably won't. As long as they end up having a huge fall out I'll be happy. The idea of Kara and Lee being mushy on television and an established couple makes me rebel. I'd hate for Kara to be toned down because of it.

And I posted. *coughs*

[conuly]

We don't actually know that Kara was physically abused by her mother. We know that Leoben says so, and that the doctor thinks so - but it's possible, say, she was abused by her dad, or her uncle, and her mother was blamed. It's possible that she did break her own fingers, and, again, her mother took the blame - that Kara had something wrong with her that caused her to harm herself. It's even possible that she had a string of freak accidents as a kid, and her mother was just very strict, and she's crying now because she's under a lot of stress and damn if she wants to think about her family now.

Mind, I think "she was abused" is the most likely answer.

[woodface]

Yeah, I think I'm going with the abused too.
