I've had company the past two weeks so my ability to be fannish has been limited. I had to hold off to watch this week's ep until tonight! The horror!
Never the less
WHOOO. THERE IS TO BE KISSING, I HEAR. GET TO THE KISSING. THERE SHOULD BE MORE KISSING!
Kara. Break my heart! I wonder how Kara's desperate struggle to go back would have played had they had Kara be cold and unemotional, as was planned originally. Huh.
CREDITS PILOTS KISSING. YES.
I will not lie, I find the cylon bits boring
- Cavill is One? Really?
- Where would the five be if not with the humans? Are there other places they could be? Frolicking on some unknown Cylon planet? I am confuzzled.
- Man. I can see why Adama and Lee were estranged for so long in these first scenes with Kara and Laura. Bill has a talent for pushing buttons, the worst buttons, for knowing the parts of the people he loves want hidden.
- More cylons. Could we please get to the kissing? Y/N?
Annnnnnnnnnnd apparently everyone is ok with Lee leaving. Huh. Remeber in D'Anna's doc how no one had resigned yet? I wonder if Lee is the first?
- OMG confirmation strip poker happens in the fleet. Thank you, Ron Moore, from a thousand fanfic writers and readers.
- WHERE IS LEE GRETTING ALL OF THESE CLOTHES? Why doesn't this shirt fit him as well as the green sweater of hotness?
- Could someone please point me in the direction of the "aftermath of Lee getting drunk" fic? Thx. It should include a drunken Helo or Narcho, kthxbai.
- Also, Lee, untuck that shirt, sir. It hangs funny and looks really short.
- I can't be the only one who was convinced (worried?) Lee would toast to Starbuck. After that slip he had calling Racetrack Startbuck I was convinced, but he made it up with his last toast. OH LEE.
- Also, as much as I adore that photo of Lee and Kara being up in the rec room, seriously. Where'd they get the film?
Head Gaius! Whoop whoop! That suit is terrible, but apparently in Colonial fashion (se: Lee Adama's very pinstriped suit)
Thrity three minutes (wheeeeeeeee!) in and no kissing. Battlestar, you are on notice!
Adama and Laura in the luuuuuuuuuuuve nest!
- LAURA SNORTED. Yes! I love Mary!
- "Whay's going on? Sit." This is the mom Leemo needed as a boy. That's right. I said it.
- Why *did* Laura miss when she tried to shoot Kara? And is the pic she hit a clue?
- Man, Laura is hard now. It's not unexpected, it's just - her core is steel. And she believes she is the dying leader.
- "You can stay in the room, but get out of my head." HA. Oh, Bill.
- Also, ouch. This conversation is a long time coming I think. Makes me wish I were a Roslin/Adama shipper a little.
OH NO HER HAIR. And I think it's more painful than that, when you lose your hair from chemo.
EEEEE PILOTS.
- KARA. So happy to see him! And pilot banter! Whoo!
- Lee! QUORUM! Could we take a moment and appriciate how awesome this could be? If the show lets it? WHOOO.
- Interesting. Big house, Lee? That's the implication, right? I wonder how that worked with Kara and Zak, being from different socio-economic classes. Interesting maybe only to me, but still.
- "I never really could say no to anything." LEE ADAMA. INNUENDO? Or was that just me? SERIOUSLY, SHOW. Stop making visions of Lee/Zarek dance through my head.
- "Especially you." SOB. Also, Jesus Christ, show, could we get some back story on these two? What the hell does that mean in the context of Zak, of their past relationships?? TELL ME!
- Seriously, you two. SERIOUSLY.
- STOP SAYING GOODBYE, YOU TWO. DAMN IT. I know there's lots of spec that they won't have much time together this season, but still. COME ON. I need my PILOTS!fix! This is sounding far too permanent for my shipper heart!
- SERIOUSLY.
- KISS HER. PLEASE.
- FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SHOW.
- EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
- *SOB*
- HER HANDS ON HIS FACE THIS TIME! AND THEY;RE BOTH SO DESPERATE. And his little "I swore I wouldn't do this" shurg before he turns around! And HER HANDS ON HIS FACE! AND HIS ON HERS! AND THE WAY HIS HEAD BLOCKS THE CAMERA, LIKES HE KNOWS PEOPLE ARE WATCHING!
- "I believe you." *SOBS*
- I might be okay with this, for a while. OH PILOTS.
O LEE. DAMN IT.
- Oh, Helo! I am a bit weepy. Also, Sharon escorted Lee? That seems like a bad idea. What with their histroy and her SHOOTING HIS FATHER. Ah well.
- Oh show. Seriously. ANDERS IN DRESS UNIFORM. NICE.
- Bah. I need a kleenex.
- Aww. AW. This is ridiculouls.
- LEE HUGGED HELO. Let a thousand slashers be inspired! Also, Lee is TINY. I forget.
- Oh god, Dee. AWKWARD. And she framed something for him? She never struck me as the arts and craft type. STILL AWKWARD.
- "Looks like you get the house." Ok. They're still cute. I'd like her to move on and be happy, however. (Since Lee has that covered with Kara, YES.)
- People are still clapping? Huh. Still nice.
Ok, cylons cylons blah blah blah MORE KISSING PLS - OMG BALTAR AND TORY. That was not what I meant, thanks.
Someone on this show likes Baltar's backside.
WHOA. They gave centurions reason? That seems like a mistake, yes?
I mean, it likely sucks to be downloaded, but is it really that much of a tragedy? No.
Why not give Kara a small crew to go investigate? I'm sure she'd get volunteers. Lee would go, likely.
Man, the marines know everything on Galactica.
I WAS RIGHT. Sewage recycling ship? BWHAHAHA.
ADAMA! HELO! I hope that means Helo is going. I love Adama a little here.
And that was my incoherrent response. In conclusion: season 4? Keep on keepin' on.
Never the less

I was SO CONVINCED he would too. You are not alone.

Def'ly. Awesome. *nods*
SERIOUSLY, SHOW. Stop making visions of Lee/Zarek dance through my head.
Hahaha, I'm convinced they're going to recommence their torrid love affair from season 1. ;)
LEE HUGGED HELO. Let a thousand slashers be inspired! Also, he is TINY. I forget.
YES! It was joyful. And yes.
WHOA. They gave centurions reason? That seems like a mistake, yes?
Yes.
I hope that means Helo is going.
I hope so too. But what will they do with out him FILLING ALL VACANT POSITIONS?!

I actually pausd the Tivo and cringed. I had to pep talk myself through watching the rest of the scene. I don't know why - it just would have been so crushingly awkward, especially with Anders at the next table over.
Re: Lee/Zarek, Lee/Helo
I'm not the world's biggest slasher, but come on! I at least am looking to fandom to deal with this to my satisfaction. Yes.
But what will they do with out him FILLING ALL VACANT POSITIONS?!
THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT TOO! Oh Helo, don't ever change!
From:
no subject
And yet it would have been so very Lee, right?! That was my fear. That he would do it anyway because it's the sort of thing he does. And I just couldn't have borne the awkward for him. *yelps* And when he made that restrained 'to absent friends' toast, my first thought was 'omg, you've GROWN!' *g*

Heehee! Anything? I can hear the masses typing right now!

This made me laugh out loud. Be careful what you wish for, huh? But I hope there is more K/L kissing. Hope springs eternal for pilots.
Keep these reviews coming, I really enjoyed this one!

Be careful what you wish for, huh?
I wasn't expecting more pilots, though a girl can wish, and then, BAM! Baltar's nekkid butt. Le sigh. Poor Tory.
But I hope there is more K/L kissing. Hope springs eternal for pilots.
I am convinced, convinced now more than ever that the show runners are in favor of this relationship, more so than on any other show I've ever watched. Kara and Lee have different destinies to fulfill, if you will, and that just means they need to be apart right now. I don't think this scene was goodbye so much as a bone for the viewer while they're apart, and confirmation that yes, they do still love each other very much.
Or I could just be overly optimistic.

Perfect review. This ep DOES leave one incoherent but you did an excellent job expressing our collective heart whiplash! Looking forward to more. :)

Remeber in D'anna'sdoc how no one had resigned yet? I wonder if Lee is the first?
I thought about this too but then I remembered New Caprica and how 1/3 of the military left at that time. But maybe they were still in reserves? Who knows.
And his little "I swore I wouldn't do this shurg before he turns around!
That was THE BEST. He stops for a second like "Should I really turn around and kiss...OH HELLS YES." (Also did you see earlier in that scene when Lee starts balancing on the sides of this feet like a little boy, omfg, so cute.)
MORE KISSING PLS. - OMG BALTAR AND TORY. That was not what I meant, thanks.
LOLOLOL. Hee.
