Blech
I don't know why I'm so mopey this week. I don't have a good reason, considering I'm looking down the barrel of a week off that I've been whinging about needing for God knows how long. It's probably the prospect of spending 90% of my week in the house that's making me stabby. I mean, I have shit to do, i have a couple paintings to be working on, if I can get over myself and stop thinking I'm going to frak them up royally the second I so much as look at a brush. I probably will go take photos on the beach on whichever day is nicest. I also plan on unpacking my summer clothes and rolling my sweaters away for another season. I have things to do. But I'm still miserable. I picked a fight last night because I seriously felt like arguing with someone. I've been grumbling around the house this morning.
Also: my knee is hurting which is not helping my disposition at all.
Anyhow, Battlestar squee

I really should be doing something. Bah.

: I realize this ep seems to have been very unpopular with Teh Intarwebz, but I loved it. Obviously, I knew Cally was going because I regularly hunt for spoilers, but the set-up was pretty awesome. I really liked the tableau of the last scene, with Adama and the Chief. The silence was perfect. I've never really liked the character, but Nicki Clyne did a great job with what she was given. Nitpicks? No one who works with their hands would have a damned French manicure. I'm not a mechanic, but I do handle paint and such, as well as wash my hands approximately eleventy billion times a day, and I can't keep it looking good for more than a day. Hell, half the time my nails look grungy when I get home. Also, wouldn't you be crushed into wee, itty pieces because of the pressure in space? Maybe I have the wrong impression.
Anyhow, love Cally's break down, LOVED Cottle. He's my new personal hero because he's just so made of awesome. I hope he's the final cylon because, damn, a room of Cottle would be the winningest thing EVER.
The Adama/Roslin scene was well played. Plz to be sending EJO to read to me, kthnx. I liked the potentially open interpretation of what he was reading: is the President under is skin or is he talking about Kara or both? I personally took it as a subtle reason for why Kara's off on the Ship O' Doom.
Lee's kind of a weenie right now. He's back to trying to be everyone's buddy, like way back in Season 1. I disagree with the bit about idolizing the last person he's spoken too; he's new, this isn't what he expected to be doing, and he's generally a people pleaser. I'm hoping after seeing the Top Secret folder, he'll relocate his balls and this will not be such a weak line.
Cekrit Cylons: still awesome, but I would not want to piss Tori off. She is cold. I'm kind of annoyed with how one dimensional they're making Tigh right now. He's back to just being a jerk, which sucks after they did so much with making him a person over the last couple seasons. Chief looks like he needs a hug and a cookie. Still, I'm thinking there's going to be shit soon as he finds out Tori shoved his wife out an airlock.
Things I never needed to see: Dean Stockwell, mostly naked. Oh ew! I kind of like the Ones, though. They're shifty and evil. I'm not sure how Natalie missed the double-cross because I saw it a million miles away. They're becoming a hell of a lot more human as this goes on, now with mass murder and whatnot. Kind of ironic considering Six was the first one to commit cylon on cylon violence. Hopefully, blowing up their ship won't be the end of that storyline. My guess is they're going to escape.
Nice Crew of the Damned on the Ship O' Doom. I did like the food reference the Admiral made, regarding the Demetrius (from Demeter). How the hell did they end up sending Gaeta on a ship with Kara? And seriously, Sharon needs to back off with the bitchies. A) She's a cylon herself, so she really needs to get over it if Kara was and b) how about some loyalty for the person who played a part in her not getting airlocked. I mean, Helo doesn't seem thrilled, but at least he's trying to keep the peace.
The red paint like blood dripping on Kara's face was a nice touch. It made me think of martyrs and statues that cry blood. I really liked that. I liked the painting, too. Nice way to tie it back to the mandala. I also like how it seems like she's the most sane when she's painting out the pictures of what she saw.
Anders still annoys the hell out of me, much in the same way Dee does. Seriously, she TOLD you straight out that you weren't the one she wanted; you were the safe choice. Why would you settle for sloppy seconds like that? Why would you keep trying to save a marriage that is so obviously built on lies? Not to mention the whole "I'd kill you if you were a cylon" bit. Just move on, for God's sake. Seelix is right there. Give it up.
However, teh secks was hot. Maybe that's some kind of cylon programming there?
I saw the Ship O' Doom as the weakest line this week, which is kind of annoying. I hope we get a little more info over the next couple eps because right now it's too disjointed and feels like filler, kind of like last week's Baltar line. So far, though, Season 4 overall is pretty good. I have yet to threaten to break up with Battlestar once.
