dangermousieLast night’s Battlestar Galactica ep was this season’s Black Market. BLAAAH.
I find Baltar boring and irritating and was cheering when Gaeta stabbed him. I live in hope they will permanently kill the character off, but it will never happen. A Baltar-centric ep where he shows off the Jesus beard and is submerged in water? My idea of awful.
The love quadrangle of doom? I don’t care. I am willing to buy that Lee wasn’t going to ditch Dee because he didn’t trust Kara’s new resolution. Fine. Blah. I don’t care. He is whiny and annoying and weak and is either clearly drinking or eating away his sorrows. If someone would have told me earlier I would have typed up these words about Lee Adama, by far my favorite character in S1 and 2, I would have laughed at them. Kudos to the writers for having no idea what to do with him and completely ruining anything interesting about him.
Dee? I don’t care. I’d believe that you ‘loved Lee so frakking much’ if the writers showed it. Their relationship got so little time, and the actors don’t have enough chemistry to compensate, so when the two of you are on screen, I want to take a nap.
Kara? At least you came straight. And I love that you talked with Anders. Actually, the only scenes I loved in the ep (and I loved them) were Kara/Anders which are just the kind of complicated angsty messed-up goodness I like, and if I didn’t love Anders before I would now. I think he is the only one who has risen in my esteem as a result of the quadrangle of emo. Lee has plummeted, Kara has slipped and Dee irritated. Anders? I love him now. I guess he is the new Lee in more ways than one. I only wish the writers spent half the effort on the old Lee.
Blah.
Think dramas have the dibs on angsty, doomed, glamorous romance? Think again.
Today’s movie recommendation is hard to find but very worth it 1932 gem One Way Passage.
Summary? See this:
Indeed.
I cried my eyes out with that one.
(It’s interesting to me, how these movies are, in a way, powerful advocates against death penalty: this one, Manhattan Melodrama, Doug Fairbanks Jr.’s movie about small time boxer, all those movies with Cagney, etc., but they don’t seem to realize they are. It’s sort of ‘well, he is sympathetic enough that you feel it’s bad he will be executed but we won’t even question the system.’ Which to me is odd).
