boomqueenIn case anyone was worried about my tendencies, this episode had me back in full on Kara!girl mode. Pretty much every emotion and action was experienced in terms of how it affected her, as per usual. I still luff my Anders to pieces but he wasn't getting much screen time in this one.
That scene at the beginning was some of the most amazing and intense acting by both Mary and Katee that I've ever seen. They both have an uncanny ability to portray incredible strength and power at the same time as vulnerability and pain.
What a risky move on Kara's part--but it's that same blend of cocky assurety and near death-wish that have made her such an effective hero and warrior in the past. And when the camera panned to where the shot had hit past her head, I loved the framed picture of A/R fractured with a hole in the center. I envision many angsty icons coming from that cap.
Speaking of A/R, leave it to Angeli to write an Adama/Roslin scene that had me actually really caring about each of them and their relationship. That scene where they just completely called each other on all their bullshit was awesome. No punches pulled on either side, which seemed really in character, and then each of them kind of broke down separately afterwards. I really loved Roslin calling Bill on his fear of losing people and how that affects all his decisions, and Roslin being afraid that her death will come too soon or have no meaning--OMG SO TRUE.
And then there was Lee/Kara kissage like almost never before! Damn, Angeli really is a softie, sweetheart shipper :) It was enough to rival the EoJ raptor kissing of awesomeness! Especially the kissing all around the face, WOW. I have a feeling that is the most shippy moment we're probably going to get for Kara/Lee for a loooooong time, so I'm storing up it's hot and tasty goodness for the inevitable lack of piloty interaction to come.
I don't want to neglect the handshake and hug just because the face-kissing was so awesome. It was a high quality hug, and the handshake was shot just like the make-up handshake in Captain's Hand. *sighs* Pilots just look damn good together on screen. *pets the pretty*
Though, what the hell is up with Lee just leaving while Kara is still in the brig and possibly facing imminent airlocking? WTF public defender? You care enough to cry and smooch her, but you're still running off to your new job? Half to admit I still teared up and was all happy for him at his amazingly honorable discharge ceremony. (I'm still trying to figure out why Adama let him go willingly, but I'm just rolling with that one too..).
Plus! The going-away ceremony afforded me the opportunity of seeing Anders in dress blues for the first time, and while I thought he looked good in a flight suit and tanks, HE LOOKS DAMN GOOD IN UNIFORM. Yum....
So did Helo.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
amaleka_crone pointed out how great his hair is right now and I wholeheartedly agree. Speaking of good hair, I love getting to see Tricia as a brunette for the new Six--she's even more stunning in a color closer to her natural shade! And half-naked pilots playing strip triad during Lee's drinking/going-away party...also yum. (strip triad fic anyone, yes/yes?)
/shallow drooling
At first I was so pissed at Helo and Adama for just carting her off the brig and cuffing her up, but by the end I was good with it. Particularly when Helo showed up to take her to the flight deck. I was cursing him to high heaven! But THEN, they're going to give her a ship and she is going to go on a separate journey (which, narratively speaking, I'm not sure if I'm excited for another split narrative, where half of the fleet is one place and the other is going somewhere else, but I'll hope for the best for now). And did I hear correctly? Is Helo going WITH HER on the trip? Helo/Kara=BFF OTP on the road again? *points at icon* Because that would be just about ten kinds of win. And who else gets to go on her crew? I'm so excited and curious!
Things I did NOT like:
WTF Tigh, just pimping Tory out to Baltar because she's the only chick Final Four so it's somehow okay to imply that she should 'get on her back' to get information. FUCK YOU tigh. I don't see why he couldn't just as easily have said "Chief and/or Anders, you are obviously half-gay so YOU go seduce Baltar" (though I love them to much to wish creepy sex on either of them either...)
AND THEN SHE DOES and it's the creepiest sex scene ever in the history of creepy sex scenes, and are they actually going to play it where Tory emotionally connects with Baltar because I don't buy it for a frakking second?!?
Sort of connected, but I actually liked it, the Baltar/head!Baltar scene was the only redeeming part of the whole Tory/Baltar clusterfrak. "Six? Is that you?" I LOVED IT.

Ron owes us a pay-off for all the twirly spinning he makes our heads do :)
