Rewatch: Water

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

Hello folks and felons (and fugitives and refugees). It's time for another BSG rewatch!

This time is the wonderful "Water"--with no pilot-y moments whatsoever. Buuut, since this is us we're talking about, I'm sure we'll manage to find something in here to make us squee. (Most notably Kara Thrace. Doing anything.)

So tonight, ladies and gentlemen, we will have the all Eight and Tyrol show! And if nobody else comes to play this will simply turn into me live-blogging my love for Chief, Baltar, and Boomer. (So please, come play with me.) You have been warned :-)

;-) no worries, around March I'm missing like every single one for two months. So it's all good.

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

I wasn't joking when I said I would liveblog my every littlest reaction to this thing. Juuuust sayin'.

[n-e-star.livejournal.com]

So, it turns out that I'm here after all.

It sucks being the weekend care-taker.

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

Aw, glad to have you!

[n-e-star.livejournal.com]

I'm signed up with the Midwinter drable challenge and my goal during tonight's watch is to catch up on all the prompts using K/L.

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

That is the best goal ever.

[requialexa.livejournal.com]

Woo hoo! Water!

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

YAY ANOTHER VICTIM! I mean... participant. Yes, that's what I meant... *shifty eyes*

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

Aaaaand GO.

[requialexa.livejournal.com]

I really wish we did this in more of a chat format...this reloading and expanding comments is time-consuming...but maybe I'm just a noob...

Oooh Pilots in the flashback!

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

The music over the "previously on" montage was making me want to sing Gaeta's lament from S4.

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

Cally is up eeearly. Although the notion of night and day in space always cracks me up anyway.

[themonkeytwin.livejournal.com]

Right? I can't imagine how wearing that kind of artificial rhythm would have been on everyone. I completely understand the desire to settle N.C.

[themonkeytwin.livejournal.com]

Woop! Able to come to a rewatch (finally)!

Boomer. Grace Park is gorgeous but I could never quite gel with Boomer. Athena was slightly better, but still. Can't put my finger on why, though.

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

I'm the other way. Boomer I get, Athena I loathe--but it took me foreeeever to like any of the Eights because they're so wishy-washy.

[apodixis.livejournal.com]

This whole episode involves me side eyeing Boomer and wanting to say 'Girrrrrrrrrrrrrl what are you doing?!'

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

Pretty much this. Yes.

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

Oh Sharon. Sigh.

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

I love how Tigh is parceling out his alcohol and later it seems like there's nothing in the whole fleet but alcohol.

[themonkeytwin.livejournal.com]

Must have been algae alcohol.

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

Aw, Lee, bb, you're so sensitive.

[themonkeytwin.livejournal.com]

*pets him*

[themonkeytwin.livejournal.com]

Three days ago. GET OVER IT ALREADY.

[n-e-star.livejournal.com]

Oh Lee, come here, I'll take away your bad dreams!

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

We could just throw Kara at him, but that might not help.

[themonkeytwin.livejournal.com]

Awwwww, early Adama-Roslin misunderstandings. Cute.

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

Aren't they though???

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

Billy, sweetie, sooo awkward.

I really love this observation from Lee though, about how Adama wants her to feel presidential.

[requialexa.livejournal.com]

Lee Adama, use "Matchmaker!"

[n-e-star.livejournal.com]

Billy, oh how I love you!

[apodixis.livejournal.com]

They all look like hall monitors with their little sashes.

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

I definitely like the duty blues better than the dress grays. I feel like they're much sharper.

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

Lol, Cally's face when Chief is being all loud with his excuses.

[requialexa.livejournal.com]

My kids are watching with me...

"At the end, doesn't Apollo, or the guy that Starbuck's dating...doesn't he become president?"

Oh lol.

And the older one, "Why is Baltar a bad guy?"
Explanation about defense mainframe etc.
Insert snarky response...

then later...

"What's his problem?" Re:Lee in the mirror & flashback.
"He had to blow up the.."
"A civilian ship," my younger son adds.
"Yeah!"
Older son: "And that's not bad?"

LOL

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

LOL you've got snarkers in residence!

[apodixis.livejournal.com]

"What, uh, no?" Lee's face hahahaha.

And god damn it Boomer. YOU MAKE SO MANY BAD DECISIONS.

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

I feel like that had to be part of her sleeper agent programming. "I will remember nothing and then make SERIALLY HORRIBLE DECISIONS."

[themonkeytwin.livejournal.com]

Chief! Oh man, this is kind of where it all started to go wrong for him, really. I mean, it took a long time to really nose-dive, but not insisting on doing the right thing here is what started that direction.

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

Exactly. He makes soo many excused for so many things.

[n-e-star.livejournal.com]

Okay, my first prompt is: resolution


I have nothing for this.

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

Can they be anywhere in BSG?

[n-e-star.livejournal.com]

Oh, Billy, you can tell me that you like my hair.

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

Yes.
