We are going to find Earth, or what?
I have broken into downloads spree and have watched BSG from episode “Scar” to episode “Lay down your burdens part 1”.I could be getting really-really cranky with the Project of Doom and this could be the real cause of disappointment, but I feel almoust that i would like to remove BSG from my interests list. Yes, things are so bad for me ;)...
I apologize so much for the thoughts below as they are not at all constructive, I must, must read past posts about BSG and snap myself out of this.. Some
queenofthorns posts perhaps will explain it all ;)
Update Hee! I had a nice meal and a nap, and thank you
syliasyliasylia for some virtual chocolate èclairs. I think i will definitely watch BSG more. If only for Lee's sake. And in hope of some more Lee/Kara interaction..;)
BAD things:
1) Starbuck. I am in mourning for my once favourite character.. What has happened to Starbuck? I didn’t like how her character was developed from “Scar” to "Lay down your burderns". Her love for Anders (not the character i am interested in), her drinking outbursts, her ability to "get away with murder" didn't do much for me. Kat is definitely a trouble-maker, but she voiced my concerns about Starbuck being responsible at least indirectly for the death of her pilot, BB. He was on his first day and as Greggs put it “out-of-training-scared”, Starback snapped at him and gave him a textbook talk.
And when Starbuck later says something along the lines “Let’s raise our glasses in honour of the lost pilots” and wins her day once again, I find these words largely driven by guilt and hypocritical.. I know that she risks HER live every day, but I would rather she didn’t dare to say BB’s name. Or said sorry instead.
And (now I am totally irrational) – why is she frowning and pouting her lips ALL THE TIME in a strange manner? Why directors making her do it?

2.) What happened to the storylines? Why everything is so unconnected?
3) Abortion storyline was played out really, really badly for me and Roslin looked as she is a different person and not the shrewd politician from “Colonial day”.
4) Earth. From “Scar” to “Downloaded” it was not mentioned ONCE!!!!! Then in “Lay Down your burdens” it seems for me (again, just IMHO), that R.Moore and his crew suddenly remembered – “O, they were going to find Earth! We must do something NOW before Season 2 is over”..
GOOOD things:
1) Lee is lovely, fantastic and everything else. His words “I am also your friend, Kara” after she “spurned” him are just wonderful. He is really a friend everybody wants to have ..And Jaime Bamber really has become a good, good actor. I always loved Lee, but wasn’t sure about Jamie’s acting skills. I think he is coming into his own now .
2) Lee and Dualla look very pretty together for me, and she is lovely and supportive.
3) Love Baltar, Tighs and Roslin’s new secretary

*hee* There bsg episodes have provoked a really strong reaction in you! OMG!
Well, you know that I'm a big fan of Starbuck and I really hope this "fall of Starbuck" of season 2.5 is worth it... In season one she was so cool and great that I guess tptb decided to tone down the character and make her grow...but OMG it is so painful seein her so broken :) I understard your feelings towards the current character situation. I really think Kat was right in all she said... but she did it in such annoying way (<-- *hee* that's me being irrational)
Dee and Lee look really pretty together!! :)
I loving Lee in this second part of the season... I'm looking forward to how he is going to be in season three, the responsability of being a commander, his realtionship with dualla... and I guess some more Lee & Kara interactions would make me really happy as well :)
I also like Roslin's new assistant, Tory.

Hee! Now after a meal and a nap I think I agree with
I really think Kat was right in all she said... but she did it in such annoying way Yep, I agree with you on this entirely. It's "the attitude" of a person, not his/her mistakes or lack of them what matters for me at the end. I can't like Kat's attitude. And of course I love Starbuck and will forgive her almost everything just because Lee loves her ..I am glad in a way that now she should be happy which is wonderful .But, what do you think - Is Anders destined for some terrible death? I hope not, it would be too predictable and just would add more heartache for Starbuck. In unconnected I always think that Anders looks a bit like Lee (or is it just me)?
I agree with you also on WANTING MORE Kara/Lee scenes. Pleeeeese, R.Moore, they are my favourite ones! That scene when they are hanging out together in “Scar” – Aww, I love it! And when Kara asks “Are we fine?” and Lee says “Do you have a brain?” AWWWWW!
I hope this new story line about the planet that Racetrack has found will be developed well, because the main problem for me with the second part of season 2 was the lack of the well-built storyline.
Sorry, had to re-post!

1) Now that Kara and Anders are reunited... I think they'll get their 5 minutes of happiness and then the writers will come up with something terrible, because this is Battlestar Galactica *chukles* Frankly, I don't know what to expect for Anders; RDM loves to shake up out expectations, i.e. most people (including me) didn't expected the Pegasus to live past Resurrection ship and it did! Anders has the word "DOOMED" written with red marker on his forehead... but maybe he isn't doomed after all. I don't know, I guess we'll have to wait util season three to know!!
2)You are not the only one who thinks Anders looks a bit like Lee!! I have a couple of friends who think the same!
Yesss! WE DEMAND MORE LEE/KARA SCENES!! I love the scene where they are hanging out together... and the follow-up always leaves me with contradictory feelings. On the one hand I'm all OMG.PILOTS.ARE.HOT but on the other hand, reality check, that scene is heartbreaking and bitter... Lee is so hurt and she is so broken and selfish in that particular moment... Luckily we got them making amends (sorta) by the end of Captain's Hand, that hug!! The "are we okay!!*dies*
I agree with you, given that season one was so well paced and cohesive, followed by the first part of season two which seemed to follow that trend as well. The episodes from the second part of season two seemed more stand-alone, I mean, I missed some storylines that seem to be left hanging. Like EARTH: what have they done with the data they gathered from home part 2, are they making any calculations trying to find Earth??? Or What did the Cylons do to Starbuck in the Farm??
Again, we'll have to wait and see :) I hope the finale delivers! I've spoiled myself rotten and the story looks interesting but the direction RDM and the writers are taking seems a bit risky. Luckily when it comes to TV I'm a real optimist and positivista so I hope it would be great!
no subject
Hee! They can always make him a Cylon, which will be better in a way because then Starbuck won’t have to be feeling guilty for his death. Starbuck is pre-destined to have a Cylon baby **shrugs**
You are not the only one who thinks Anders looks a bit like Lee!! I have a couple of friends who think the same!
O, I am so glad that “it is not just me”. You see, what I think is : Why Starbuck fell in love (assuming she IS in love and not just making herself to be in love because she is guilty) with someone who resembles her best friend? Does she herself realize that Anders looks like Lee ?(because it must have not been coincidence on Ron Moore’s part to bring in the actor who looks like Jamie). And when Anders will see Lee , will he think :” hang on, I think this guy looks a little like me. And anyway, I am very much looking forward to see some Lee/Anders interaction

You know, I loved, loved THAT scene, the impression on Lee’s face when he realizes WHAT Kara means (so well presented on your icons) is just priceless – “I can’t believe this is happening” ;). And I liked how it all was played out, that Lee was caring and loving and that he himself was not just “for a quick frak”. I loved, loved that he realized that something is going wrong with Kara and didn’t “proceed” ;)..
I guess I love angst and heartbreak ;)

Hee! I have read some of the spoilers (thank you very much for finding them, BTW), and can’t agree more – LETS HOPE FOR THE BEST!!
P.S. I must write to R.Moore to STOP Starbuck to be getting any thinner!! And what is wrong with Lee’s hair?
no subject
Oh! That prospect makes me recoil in horror *shudders*
Now, seriously, I think Anders is totally doomed. I remember a podcast in which RDM mentioned that initially he planned a story arc involving the Anders/Kara romance with him dying at the end of the season, then he said they didn't go that way, but who knows, maybe the "let's kill Anders off" came back for the finale screenplays ... or maybe he kicks the bucket at the begining of season three. That would devastate poor Kara!!
And anyway, I am very much looking forward to see some Lee/Anders interaction
Oh! Me too! Me too! *bounces up and down overenthusiastically* If Lee and Anders meet and Kara is present that scene is going to be 100% akward and tense!! I foresee Lee angst!
I loved, loved that he realized that something is going wrong with Kara and didn’t “proceed” ;)..
I totally agree! I was so happy that he was such a good friend to her in that scene and at the same time he was so vulnerable and heartbroken!!! Angst and heartbreak suck in real life, but they are so great in tv and fiction!! I love the BSG angst!!
I must write to R.Moore to STOP Starbuck to be getting any thinner!!
I second!! And please someone give Boomer a pair of sandwiches, she is super thin!!
And what is wrong with Lee’s hair?
I think he is going to wear a sort of wig in Lay Down Your Burdens Part 2!!! *hee* When those spoilerish screencaps appeared on the skiffy boards, some people call him DiscoLee! *chortles*
Is it Saturday yet so I can download the epi??
no subject
And (just to jump from one thing to another, sorry) - That thing Lee said to Kara "You are fine with the dead guys, it is live ones you can't deal with" ( or something like this) is fabulous..
**I AGREE TO EVERYTHING YOU SAID in your comment, particular about Saturday**
