4.13 - The Oath
- I would watch the Karan'Lee BuddyCops! show every week. I am sure that surprises no one.
Really, I'm just happy to see Kara looking like she's doing something other than angsting and Leewith a haircut! Whooot for no longer having his hair brush his collar as much! kicking some ass again.
- I'm not going to lie or sugar coat it: I have very little time or patience for the Adama/Roslin relationship. Not because I object to old people kissing (though I kind of do, and so do the other characters as judging by everyone's reaction) but for other reasons.
They - and here is where I suppose I will be alone - they remind me of Holden Caufield from Catcher in the Rye. I remember reading it in high school and being so pissed at Holden. He had a family and friends and people who worried about him and he was jaunting off to New York to do stupid things, the idiot. It's the same way I feel about Laura and Bill. You have responsibilities. I am sorry if you would rather stare moonily into each other's eyes, but you can't. Look where that's gotten you.
(I think there is a larger point here - I was thinking about this today, thinking about Kara's comment about how children replace their parents. I think this is going to be a big theme for the rest of the season. As much as I would have liked to see an all Kara-and-Lee, all naked revue, they are the ones left to step up and figure out how to take down Gaeta this time. Roslin's gone, Adama is offering himself as a sacrificial lamb. Kara and Lee are hiding in the bowels of the shiphaving a lot of hawt sex figuring out how to take that rat weasel Gaeta down.
Also: Laura and Gaius are one of my favorite duos on this show, I am realizing. More Baltar (I have never said that before.)
- Alright, let's talk about it: That Lee/Kara smooooooch. I cheered. I did the victory arms accompanied by a "whoooooooooooo!" I have watched it more than once. I understand it was no declaration of eternal love, but hot damn! There's my pilots! Proof of, if nothing ese, the fact that Kara really wanted to plant one on Lee after some of those dog fights. And Lee's adorable, confuzzled "whaaaa? I am trying not to be too pleased by this turn of events because of the chaos surrounding us but I TOTALLY AM PLEASED OMG" expression. And Kara! So alive and unmopey! Kicking ass and taking names! Yes! This is the show I am interested in, Ron Moore. Less moping, more ass-kicking!
(I just watched that scene again. God I've missed those two. )
(Dear Jamie: Okay, we get it. Lee's thing is putting his hands on Kara's face when she kisses him. Yes. Understood. It does not need to happen every time. (I am not complaining! Well, I sort of am. Shut up, Elly. Ok.)
Alright, who's got money on whether they stopped for a quick, life-affirming fuck against a wall while they were out and about? Because I will put money on that, yes.
Other notes:
- Kara in the hanger bay? Shooting things? HOT DAMN. THAT'S OUR GIRL.Saving Princess Lee!
- SEELIX. Mothefuckin' DIANA SEELIX, ladies and gentlemen. Man. That was . . . uncomfortable and incredibly dehumanizing.
- Who else was screaming "Not the face! Not his beautiful face!!!!" when they attacked Anders (and Helo, for that matter?)?
- TYROL. Man I loved him in this ep. So in charge! So capable! Inspriing as much loyalty as Gaeta, in his way, even though he is a cylon, which I kind of forgot until now. He's a cylon and he still managed to get an info network up and running.
- That poor guy who got shot protecting Adama in the CIC: Was I the only one who got the sense Adama couldn't remember his name? Way to keep referring to him as "That Boy." Oy.
- Also: Felix Gaeta, evil mastermind. Who knew? You could see his mind working at points. Such a smart guy, so many balls in the air, and ruthless to boot. Man.
- Related: HOSHI. Man, Felix, you totally should have gotten Hoshi on your side.
Again, my favorite episode in a very, very long time.
