BSG

Battlestar Galactica = OUCH. I was not very happy when at the end of last season we saw Lt. Gaeta working for Baltar - I bought it as something the character would do, essentially - at least they were working towards that kind of characterization of him. Previous to that (and even after that, truth be told) I held a lot of fondness for Gaeta - he's like some poor, under-appreciated, stickler of a guy, not really attractive and kind of just there, but always pulling through some amazing stuff for the crew. I kind of adored him, in a 'oh! little Gaeta!' kind of way - he was my (not so) secret buddy. So, I was not happy with him working for Baltar - because CLEARLY Baltar would never have made a good president, and even if Gaeta had believed in him at once point, walking in on the man with (random! hello!) whorish women drapped all over him is maybe, you know, where you quit, but Gaeta - he's not a quitter.

Anyway - I swear I nearly lost my shit when they were going to kill him. I didn't really believe they would - dramatically speaking it was obvious he wouldn't be killed (although, with BSG, you never know!) - but still, that really didn't matter. I swore undying love to Anders when he walked out on the Circle (and even more so when he let Starbuck go). I had tears - REAL TEARS, PEOPLE - when the Chief sat with Gaeta at the end of show. a) just seeing him by himself was almost more than I could handle and then b) the Chief, I love him. God. I think... I think I'm maybe not cut out for television right now. I'm way too tired, or emotional, PMSing, or something. Good grief. And all this for Gaeta? I, well, whatever.

I need an Anders icon. ETA: Anders icon obtained!

I was so stressed about Gaeta! I had to pause like 10 different times to catch my breath, as I did not trust that it would all work out. I really worried that they would kill him, and then Starbuck would mention the bullshit he'd been spouting in the mess about the dog bowl, and *then* the group would know who they had killed. I am really glad they didn't go that way with it.

Hmmm. Maybe Gaeta and Anders can hook up in some way, both of 'em still idealistic at their core.

I thought when they realized he was the dog bowl guy they were going to hoist him on their shoulders and pull another BSG "Rudy" moment. Plus, if they had killed him, what a waste of gorgeous hair. I love him with the longer hair :::sigh:::

God, I'm so shallow.

Oh, he *does* have great hair! Okay, I'm giving in more and more to the Gaeta love. heh. :) Do you have a Killa yet? *waves forlornly*

Do you have a Killa yet? *waves forlornly*

Not yet, but I will in another two hours! Whoo! I'll pass on the love.

Oh, and the Rudy moment thing. Were you disturbed by that? 'Cause I was, kinda, but in "a oh, BSG, you're a creepy wonderful show, kind of way."

HATED the Rudy moment. Thought it was laaaaaame! But it made the issolation of Tigh that much sadder. Of course all my Tigh love has disappeared since then. That's a good thing, right?

Yeah, like, totally uncomfortable making.

heee. I dunno, is it? Hard to tell. I kind of liked SaltySeadog!Tigh more than I ever liked him before. Gives him a reason for being crazy.
