BSG: Ties That Bind
In which I start really shipping Kara/Anders again for the first time since Farm. Still love Lee so don't start hating on me, but I love my Sammy so damn much right now that it cannot be contained.
The Anders-is-my-homeboy bits
OMG. How much do I love the visual of Anders below the walkway looking up at a shadowed Kara haloed by light. "You know all you need to know ensign." Dayum.
So we finally get to see who is on Kara's crew and what an all-star list! Both Agathons (though where is Hera? back on the Big G in perma-daycare?), Anders, Seelix, Gaeta. WOW. It's like the Dream Team. And I LOVELOVELOVE the gobs and gobs of sweaty pilots in the Demetrius mess. It's like arm!pr0n exploding all over my teevee. Looks like they're heading for mutinous arm!pron soon.
So the final four are split up now? I'm pretty sure the three back on Galactica will be fine but Sam has no support network anymore. (Mebbe hawt gaisex with Helo will make things all better, yes/yes?).
LOVELOVELOVE Kara painting her vision of the star charts on the bedroom wall. Love the image of the paint dropping down onto her face like blood. Love the swirls of color and her obsessive painting pose like in Maelstrom. So so good.
Anders low gravelly voice like that when he comes in to talk to Kara? Liquid sex y'all! Sheer panty-melting amazingness.
And she tries to push him away with meanness and harsh words, like so so many pilot!moments before, but (unlike emo!Lee who would get his feelings hurt and run away) Sam toughs it out and calls her out on her shit until the truth comes out. Because I don't think she does believe any of what she's saying and she IS scared. It's just hiding behind that careless bravado until it's pushed out to the surface.
The bit with him matching up their tattoos and "its part of who we are"--just as much about being a cylon as being in love with Kara? Methinks yes.
"Make me feel something"? Frakking just to feel alive? Cuz I've definitely never seen this dynamic before: the love-starved, angry and wounded lover who is willing to compromise and take the fucked-up self-destructive female protagonist on whatever cheapened terms she needs to feel connected and alive?
OH WAIT. Hello S6 Spuffy. Thought you looked familiar. (Although Trucco has got it all over Marsters in my book right now so bring it). ETA: glad I'm not alone in noticing this. *tips hat to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wisteria_ and nicole_anell*
Kara/alpha!Sam pushing at each other and angry!sex maybe the hottest thing ever? Definitely even hotter than bad!dirty!wrong pushing-at-each-other paint!sex? maybe hotter than pilots!sex? *hides*
Not quite sure what to make of the morning after part though. I'll rewatch and rethink later on that bit.
The chief/Cally bits and the Cally/Tory bits
So Clyne's acting still isn't all that amazing but at least I was interested in her this time around (still! think of how much more awesome it could have been if it was pulled off by a really stellar actress like Katee or Mary or Tricia...). The panic and the jealousy and the motherhood-regret and the wistful Chief/Cally flashbacks totally got me.
Loved the way the Chief's voice sounded like it was under water or far away when she was freaking out post-FF-discovery. And then she fucking attacked him with a wrench (oh knuckle-dragger visual irony!). HOly shitballs!.
And when Tory smacked Cally and she just flew back! Frak me that totally made me jump. Airlocked! OMFGGGGGGGG! Poor Chief!!!
*pours some diet coke out on the ground for Cally*
Here's to Cally. She hated cylons and she whined a lot. Poor stupid frakker.
Other random bits:
Newer shinier centurion close-ups! maybe I'll have to re-do the "humans are dead" video after this season...
The Quorum bits made my head all spinny. It was noisy and full of intrigue and politicking and I'm fascinated but more than a bit confused as to what all of it is leading up to. Other than acknowledging what a complicated mess the post-holocaust government is.
I really don't understand why Boomer has allied against the other eights with the Cavills. It's gross and it's out-of-character and just ugh.
Still: more cylon civil war/genocide to come!
Totally random: the final scene made me think of that AWESOME latte!fic where Dee accidentally gets airlocked during pilots!sex. dudes, my brain is teh evol ;)
