  • The UK is cute with all its snow. Or rather, my flist is cute with all its snow.

  • I spent most of yesterday cooking and watching House. (12 hour or so marathon on USA.) I've realized I can't watch House a second time. Once I've watched an episode, I can't watch it again. I know the answer to the riddle and so it just feels pointless to me.

  • Just when I thought we were going to get another boring political episode, we don't! \o/ I really do like the action on this show, and we haven't had much of it lately.

    • STARBUCK!! Yes! I loved that she was practically a one-woman force at first. :D And smooching Lee... I always had a feeling that TPTB wanted to wind up with her and Lee together by the end, and their spouses have been conveniently taken out of the equation. Eh, I just really don't care about any of the pairings. Although Helo and Boomer are very sweet with their kid and all. It'd be nice if they could stay together. (Or she's one of the Boomers. It's been this long and I still have no idea which Boomer is which - it's safe to say I'll never learn. People tell me and...it's knowledge that my brain just won't retain.)

    • Roslin had a great idea about the wireless. (Baltar was always on Galactica? I guess I thought he was off on another ship.) Although I'm still irked at her. This whole situation was created in the vacuum she left. I hope she now realizes that - her arrogance needs to be smacked down about 10 pegs. She was willing to die and take the fleet down with her.

    • Also needing a good spanking is Gaeta. And Adama. And...well lots of people have had their heads up their asses. Zarek's just being Zarek though. (Even after all this time, I still love that Richard Hatch is playing him. And he doesn't feel the need to write bitchy essays on how the fact that Starbuck is a woman is damaging to the size of his own dick. At least that's the gist of what I get from Dirk Benedict's rantings.)

    • Will Adama and Saul die? It's possible, but something tells me they'll live. They've got 7 episodes to go yet.

Technically, it's Helo and Athena, not Boomer. Meaning...Boomer came back to Galatica at the start of the war and another 8 was on Caprica with Helo. She then came back with him when Starbuck rescued them and was given the call sign Athena.

I have been trying to figure out where Boomer #1 is, actually. Cally shot and killed her after she shot Adama, but I can't remember if she resurrected into the Cylon fleet, or actually died. I THNK she is with Cavil.

That's part of my problem - all the regenerating and stuff. It's hard to keep track of who is who. So Athena was the one on Caprica and Boomer shot Adama. I'll try to remember that. :D

Or, if it helps...

Chief loved Boomer.
Helo is married to Athena.

Okay. Oh say! Chief could still get back together with Boomer! For some Cylon lovin'.

[identity profile] misssimm.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't Boomer the one who sided with the other Cylons, going against the other 8s? I've lost track!

[identity profile] elismor.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I think that is the case. But I can't really remember WHY she did that and that's what is making me wonder if I'm thinking of the wrong Boomer. :)

[identity profile] misssimm.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
No idea, but then I've no clue what motivates at least half of the characters any more!

Nope, you have the right Boomer. If it helps, just think of the one with Helo as "Athena", the one with Cavil as "Boomer" and all the rest as either "Eights" or "Sharons". :-D

[identity profile] christyj12.livejournal.com 2009-02-03 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
She sided with Cavil because she's gone off the deep end. :P She's his "pet 8," as he called it.

SNOW IS AWESOME. YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS.

Also, I'm stuck at uni for the next 35 mins or so, waiting for my next lecture, so I'm making comments on anything I feel I can.

PRETEND I SAID SOMETHING INSIGHTFUL ABOUT BSG HERE.

And I tend to agree with House, although I've not seen that much of it.

ENTERTAIN ME, MICHELLE. I REQUIRE IT.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry! I've got to get ready and go to work! By the time I get there, you'll be in your lecture. :D

Um...WRITE D/R FIC!!!! I need some.

[identity profile] shinyopals.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Pfft. Work is not essential. Keeping [livejournal.com profile] shinyopals happy is essential. YOUR PRIORITIES. THEY ARE WRONG.

Also, I plan on writing more when I get home tonight - the sequel2 fic that you "WHAT."ed at the other day because of the "hurt" aspect of the hurt/comfort. And possibly because I was cackling with glee about how nasty I got to be.

But today's an IR update day, I believe!

Oh duh! Hmm, let's see.

Once upon a time in a universe far far away, there lived two people whose cute powered the city of London. Just one day of grinning kept things going for a year. Unfortunately there were two dragons in the land - Opalus and Frank. They insisted on trying to squish either one of these people so that London would be dark.

However, the people packed up and left in their magical flying box to have happy fun adventures forever, sending back cute to power London. And they probably mooned the dragons on their way out too.

The End

STAAAAARBUUUUUUUUUUCK! OMFG. SO MUCH LOVE FOR THAT GIRL.

Just lock her in a room with Gaeta for about 2 seconds. That's all the time she'll need.

THIS.

NO KIDDING. See, that's been the problem with Starbuck recently. Forget the fact that she found another her who'd been killed - she hasn't had anything to shoot in forever!

HELL YES.

The SNOW IS GREAT. Everyone has panicked and my work closed 2 hours early, so I got to come home early - YES!

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Awwwww! The only thing we ever get off for is fire. I'd rather have snow. Although if it ever snowed here, things really would shut down completely. :D

SNOW!!! IT'S SNOWING!!!

HEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine Ten's reaction to snow. That is what 90% of people in the UK are like at the slightest flurry.

And for good reason! It's pretty and it's reasonably rare for us! And it's very rarely so bad that it's dangerous!

AWWWWW! *SQUISHES* No wonder they all ran out in TCI!

It's ridiculously cute watching the Brits with their snow. Ha.

I have that same problem with House - I love watching new episodes, but I get very bored watching one over again - it really does take all the fun out knowing the solution to the mystery.

*nods* I really can't watch a repeat.

And he doesn't feel the need to write bitchy essays on how the fact that Starbuck is a woman is damaging to the size of his own dick. At least that's the gist of what I get from Dirk Benedict's rantings.

HAHAHAHAHA.

God. He's such a douche.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2009-02-03 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
He really really is. I roll my eyes whenever I see him go off again.

That quote? Is AWESOME.

House feels pointless to me on first viewing because the answer to the riddle is always the one that House espouses. (At least so far as I've seen.)

:D I'm guessing it's fairly true. The guy is ridiculous.

Yeah, very rarely is he wrong. And he usually figures it out in a flash of inspiration towards the end of the episode where he's talking to someone about something random and then just stares off into space. :D Happened again last night. It's very formulaic, but it still entertains. For now.

After I read this post, I went online and watched the episode that I missed because my bf flew in for the weekend. It was so much better than the previous ep, and I loved Starbuck and Adama! And I almost feel sorry for Gaeta having the illussions of having the balls to lead the fleet, but not really because he put himself in the situation to fail epically.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2009-02-03 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
It really was a good episode! Very entertaining! And I think Gaeta is going to go down hard.

[identity profile] cheapevilgirl.livejournal.com 2009-02-06 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
STARBUCK!! Yes! I loved that she was practically a one-woman force at first.

Finally, I was so tired of "I have destiny" Starbuck. It's one of the reasons I didn't watch the first half of the season. But she seems to be back in this episode.

:D And smooching Lee... I always had a feeling that TPTB wanted to wind up with her and Lee together by the end, and their spouses have been conveniently taken out of the equation.

Poor Dee although she made her own damn bed by marring Lee in the first place. And I still adore Anders Cylon or not. As for Kara/Lee ending up together. I would love it but somehow I don't think we are going to get a happy ending with these two.

Although Helo and Boomer are very sweet with their kid and all. It'd be nice if they could stay together. (Or she's one of the Boomers. It's been this long and I still have no idea which Boomer is which - it's safe to say I'll never learn. People tell me and...it's knowledge that my brain just won't retain.)

Sharon is the orginal Sharon that Helo fell in love with on Capria. I've been a S/H girl from day one. And if anyone makes it out of this show with a happy ending it's gonna be those two.

Roslin had a great idea about the wireless. (Baltar was always on Galactica? I guess I thought he was off on another ship.) Although I'm still irked at her. This whole situation was created in the vacuum she left. I hope she now realizes that - her arrogance needs to be smacked down about 10 pegs. She was willing to die and take the fleet down with her.

Yeah Roslin's dissaparing act after they found Earth pissed me off. I really think if it wasn't for Adama she would still be one the floor in a ball.

Also needing a good spanking is Gaeta.
Sam really shouldn't have shot him. Even though Sam shot him out of blind love for Kara and not because he was Cylon. Dee taking her own life was just the last straw for him.

Zarek's just being Zarek though.

Yeah no one can say they didn't see this coming. Cause Zarek is the one character that hasn't changed at all.

You're probably right. I doubt many people are going to get a happily ever after on this show.

Yeah Roslin's dissaparing act after they found Earth pissed me off. I really think if it wasn't for Adama she would still be one the floor in a ball.

I'm quite cranky at her.
