The Rewatch is Back!!! Litmus live blog...

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Ok, y'all-- I fail at keeping up with the rewatch lately... but GUESS WHAT?  WE'RE BACK ON, MY FRIENDS!!!  Below is a picspam live blog of one of the less exciting episodes, Litmus.  (Definitely not exciting from a shippy perspective...)

 -         How icky is it that Cally is guarding the door for Chief and Boomer's rendezvous?

-         Chief! Boomer! Aww, how I wish y'all could have ended up together. (And Chief, you looked best with short hair.)

 

-         Ewww, charbuck bodies in sickbay. Kara looks totally freaked out. (As she should.)

 

-         Is it just me or does the Master at Arms look like Lorelai Gilmore?

 

-         Awww, Tigh saved Adama's life—a lovely bromance is born.  Such longing... such passion!  **sigh**  OTP, my friends.
 

 

-         The still! The origin of Chief's home brew (without which there would have been an alcohol shortage long long ago.)
 

 

-         Heh—Cally was reading a trashy novel in her downtime. You think it might have been K/L fanfic? ; P
 

 

-         Is this the first time we see the press core? The first time they have a press conference?

 

-         Oh look! Davis—I mean, Crashdown. He's being all protective of Boomer. (Am I the only one who ever thought that Crashdown might have had kind of a crush on Boomer?)

 
 

-         Ok, this comes up in fandom and fics a lot—breaking the fraternizing regs. What exactly are the regs? You can have a relationship with another person in the fleet, so long as they're not you direct superior, right? And what does direct superior mean? (For example, when Lee was CAG and Kara was lead pilot, that was a sirect superior relationship that would have been in violation, right? But not if Lee was commanding Pegasus and Kara was CAG on Galactica, right? What if Kara was XO on Galactica and Lee was CAG? Is that still a direct superior relationship?)

 

-         DUDE! I love that they found a court reporter! I don't think they had one during Baltar's trial, did they?
 

 

-         Oh no! I forgot there was Kara/Baltar interaction. He's totally trying to come on to her and she's totally grilling him on cylon security. Heh.

 




 

-         I miss Six and head!Six being all violent. Those were the days.

 
 

-         Y'all, is Lee not even in this episode? This is most sad-making. : /

 

 

-         Uh oh—Lorelai's getting a little bit bitchy. Papadama is not taking this very well.
 

 

-         Awww, this is sad. The Chief/Boomer breakup. : (

 
 

So that's it. There were precisely two Kara scenes, no Lee scenes, and a lot of court reporting. Not the greatest ep in the world, but it did move the major Chief/Boomer, Sharon/Helo, human-looking cylon stories along. And it gave us more of Doral wearing ill-fitting jackets in bad colors. ; )

 Thus endeth the live blog.

I love that Baltar is totally trying to put the moves on Kara, and she's just like "so do you think they may have been trying to kill you?" She's SO not impressed by his attempts. Makes me snicker every time.

I know! It's hilarious. She all about the security details, and he's all lame trying to come on. Hee.
