I should be writing. But since I am not quite in the right mindset yet... I am not (let's hope it hits sometime before four, because I fully intend to get up at ten tomorrow morning). So, the foremost non-addled thing on my much harassed mind is BSG. Because watching it with everyone on Sunday nights is awesomefun. And I'm pretty sure, after this episode, I am even more in love with Laura Roslin. Because omg. The way all the guys seem to fangirl Baltar (even though he's greasy and skeezy though, fine, he's redeemable and extremely human and an excellent character, that doesn't mean I don't get to hate him as a person)... that's how I fangirl her. Which, I suppose, doesn't give you a lot to go on because you haven't heard everyone I know trying to defend him against me and my slander against him, but suffice it to say I fangirl her a lot.
And I cannot express how happy I am that this episode didn't just jump into something like "Would you leave your wife if I leave my husband?" "Oh sure, let's get on with it!" Which is, unfortunately, kind of what I was expecting from the previews. As much as they're both screw-ups, I'm glad, for whatever reason, they're holding out. And Lee is Colossal King of the Screw-ups sometimes (and Starbuck his reigning queen), but at least right now I actually feel sorry for him, rather than wanting to kick him in the face. (Actually, I kind of wanted to kick Tyrol in the face this episode, but he was just being a typical male and, as far as I could tell, wasn't on his way to binge drinking and becoming a slobbery pathetic drunk. And I think Tyrol's a Cylon, so I don't get to kick him in the face. Only humans get kicks in the face, which is why Lee and Baltar get so many of them from me. It's a very... reaffirming thing. I think Starbuck also gets kicks to the face, but there might be a different fate reserved for her. Though I still think Anders is the one of the pair that'll be a Cylon.) Oh! And also, unbridled joy for there actually being problems with all the nonsensical weddings. Thank you, BSG. Though I still don't believe in Dee's character one bit. She just didn't exist enough character-wise beforehand, with enough tension with Lee, to make it believable at all. No.
And as much as I love it, I feel like the Roslin/Adama is getting a little blatant. If that falls to actual canon, I will be kind of sad. I like my pairings unfulfilled, or at least not overt.
Oh, and drugged-Baltar? I'll admit I actually felt sorry for him. And it did help remind me of why he is actually a sympathetic character who's just wound himself into the worst possible situation because of his goshdarn all-powerful self-preservation instinct and lack of any noble moral convictions. (Ye goodness, he is an excellent character. I love whoever came up with him, I really do. I have hated him from the get-go, and have loved that fact since then, too.)
Could do with more space battles, though. Always.
Oh, and five bucks says Gaeta also has the hots for Baltar. You know I wasn't the only one expecting it to be him giving him mouth-to-mouth despite the whole homicidal impulse thing. There's something there manifesting itself in rage. You know what that is.

I'll match your five bucks.
He is not greasy, he's just sort of... currently hairy and misunderstood!Lee and Kara: THERE ARE AIRLOCKS FOR A REASON. Kthxbai.

Is too greasy. And suuuure, it's all just a misunderstanding that both sides think he should be thrown out of an airlock. Though I do sense enough sympathy from Adama and Roslin right now to prevent that.Goshdarnit, if only throwing the two of them out of an airlock wouldn't destroy things. Adama would get emo, and the fleet would be like "Omg, we're missing our woman of destiny!" and it'd all be bad. Le sigh. Maybe there's another way to put them out of their misery.

BitemeI stand by that Starbuck is a Cylon. I dunno, it just makes sense in my head. I just think there needs to be the Slap Upside the Head Deck and she and Lee need to pay it a few visits. Regularly.
