A week in TV: SPN, Lost and BSG
SPN:
Let me just say that I TOTALLY fell for the red herring: I thought the doctor lady was going to be the siren, and while I am still very glad for the spontaneous exhibitionist office!sex up against the blinds, I am really glad it didn't go down like that.
Because HOW AWESOME was it to have the gender assumption subverted. I know that the gayness of the boys feels like canon to most of fandom, but it's a whole other world to see it played out on your screen.
And what did Dean need/want? A BROTHER. Someone to love him unconditionally and look up to him. Even without the awesome slashyness between Vic and Dean (and it WAS awesome), I just love that the show is always ready to step up for the potency and reality of the emotional bond between Sam and Dean.
Fuck that was awesome. For an episode that I went into pre-emptively wincing about gratuitous strippers, it turned out much more subtle and interesting.
Lost:
I'm way more interested in the awesome time travel stuff happening on the island than the intrigue between/amongst Ben and the Oceanic Six.
I love the 'when are we' riff as they explore the island in different times. I'm absolutely loving Sawyer's man pain. I'm totally into Daniel and the other freighters. I'm even enjoying Juliet (never thought that would happen!).
Nothing like the mindfrakkery of some good time warping :)
BSG:
WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING TO MY SAMMY. If they're going to kill him off, they better make it better than some random stray shot from a marine.
Everyone else is having awesome storylines! Gaeta's last supper with Gaius in his head was amazing. Kelly got to have a fascinating internal debate and breakdown over his loyalties in the memorial hall that was totally compelling. Chief played spider-monkey all over the ship and saved the day with the FTL. Roslin had her gravitas in full force with the 'coming to END YOU' speech. Kara was still kicking ass and taking names (I loved her knocking out the marine taking a piss to steal his gun!) And they brought back Romo FTW!
So. In an episode of so many greats and all time highs, what they hell are they doing with my bleeding Anders and panicked Kara? I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED NOW.
ETA: apparently the Canadian preview for next week has some Sam in it, so whatever happens at least I know that they're going to be some answers.
