SATURDAY Rewatch my lovelies...

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

So it seems this week has been a crazy one for K/L shippers everywhere...so how better to end an insane week with the craziness of a creepy Leoben epi??  Come on out for Flesh and Blood at 11:30 GMT.  This epi sketches me out b/c well, it's not okay to torture people...er, Cylons...er, anyone!!...so I kinda cringe when watching Kara at work.  I try to tell myself that at least she still had a real plotline and was still ALIVE...and well, I hate to say it, but I'd almost rather watch Kara with Leoben than Kara with Sam...at least K/Leo and K/Lee have chemistry and never fall into the category of "boring".  Just my tired thoughts...after reading Bee's anonymeme, I'd just like to make the disclaimer that although chocolate is my fave, I still love people that eat vanilla and strawberry...so, to quote our girl, "let's all be friendly".  See ya after some sleep...xoxox

Hello?

Anyone here? I'm just worried for me cause in my part of the net, LJ is not loading their pages in a timely manner.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Seems to be working okay for me still. And yes, I am here!

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

hey guys...how's life in shipperville?

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

*smiles*

welcome, ladies!

wanna start at 11:40?

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Works for me, I'll just finish eating and dig up the eppy.

We're watching Flash and Bone, right? (eww, Leoben. :P)

[artemis-90.livejournal.com]

oh phew! yes to :40! I'll follow but I may not be as talky!

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

starting...

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

...now! ;)

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Doral goes BOOM

[artemis-90.livejournal.com]

starting....

so guys, just so we all know who's spoiled for what?

I meand I've seen all the series of course, and The Plan, but no Caprica yet...

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

I've seen a couple of Caprica eps, but I am not up to date.

[artemis-90.livejournal.com]

I've forgotten that it starts out with Laura. They ought to have more dream sequences in this mystic scifi show!

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

I forgot about Laura's dream too.

[artemis-90.livejournal.com]

Billy!! Still in his suit -- did he not have a change of clothes ever?

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

LOL! Apparently not.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

"Mama always said there was nothin in there anyway."

Aww, Kara.

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

I know...I just wanna hug her.

[artemis-90.livejournal.com]

ok - very shallow comment: I like this length of hair for Kara too!

Less shallow, more PapaAdama scenes with Kara -- hmm, was it me or did I miss any reaction from Adama with what Kara revealed about her mom? Might have to go back later

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

ITA. Short hair suits her.

I didn't notice - but it's not a big indicator in any case. Anyone might make a joke like that I think. It's just that we know it was close to hime.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Boomer singing a lullaby to the raider :-/

[artemis-90.livejournal.com]

You'd think Chief would be really suspicious!

[artemis-90.livejournal.com]

more shallowness - their closeups in this interrogation scenes are so eye-candy despite the menacing dialogue.

[artemis-90.livejournal.com]

Scream cry endure. Is this her philosophy or her mum's?

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Indeed. She's indoctrinated in the philosophy of pain. So very sad. :(

[artemis-90.livejournal.com]

OOO "let the games begin" -- Olympics shout-out -- how'd they know the Olympics are on now--- ;p

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

I find the interrogation scenes...and all of Leoben's dialogue fascinating. I just hate that he had to turn into a psycho rapist.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

I always dispute the "rapist" part of that. I don't think he did. I think he wanted subjugate her mentally so she'd come to him voluntarily (which is exactly the bit that freaks me right out and triggers me a little bit)

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

"we're all god, Starbuck"

Leoben's comments always make me wonder slightly how much of a plan RDM did have...because he's usually pretty good with his predictions...they are more than just babbling...but I just can't believe that they actually planned the Kara/Jesus thing that far back

[artemis-90.livejournal.com]

Hmm, what's interesting is that Laura's dreams he could have nothing do with - yet she had them and he knew details of Kara's childhood past (more than what he could have learned about in the radio listening in at CAP).

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

Oh, Baltar, lol...you are playing with fire with your cylon detector!

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Such a slimeball. He could have gone to Adama after that and told him privately she was a Cylon... but that would ruin the storyline I guess.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

The whole "I know all your secrets" speech.

I am so torn over whether to have the interrogation in Schisms or not. I don't intend to go the "special destiny" route, but I do have some ideas to do with it. :-/

[artemis-90.livejournal.com]

I liked some of the mysticism -- but never was a fan the "Special Destiny, etc." for this show, this character.

[artemis-90.livejournal.com]

CRK has really good chemistry with his fellow actors!

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

agreed, he's good.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

I love the way this ep puts Kara and Laura at a counterpoint.

Kara tortures him mercilessly but in the end she argues for his life. Laura condemns the waterboarding but then ruthlessly has him executed.

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

yes! It's been a long time since I watched this epi, but the part that always sticks with me is Kara praying for his soul at the end.

[artemis-90.livejournal.com]

That's actually "Artemis" and "Athena" icons, not Aphrodite.

[artemis-90.livejournal.com]

Backing up a bit, when Leoben was being waterboarded and we get a shot of him underwater, he smiles. Is it that he DID turnoff the human programming, which I had assumed at the time, but it turns out they can starve and suffocate.

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

hmm, I don't know...I don't think he did turn off his human side...I do think he knows that Kara is grasping at straws with the torture and that he has the upper hand as far as the intelligence info he can share, not about the bomb, but about the future. I think the smile is more about him saying he's a kind of prophet and is willing to endure to get his point across.

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

Thanks for rewatching guys!! This epi isn't one I've seen more than once or twice b/c the waterboarding makes me cringe...but it actually provides a lot of food for thought. It is growing on me a little bit.

[artemis-90.livejournal.com]

Happy belated birthday Liz!

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

Grrr...I hate that I always have to leave right after the rewatch to get ready for work. I may see if I can rearrange the schedule to go in a bit later in the future so we have more time to ponder (and afterparty)!! For now though, I do have to go...enjoy the rest of your weekends!

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

I am okay with starting earlier, if that helps? Is Saturday evening here, so mit makes little difference to me.

Enjoy yours too! (Long weekend for me. Whee!)
