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. ; )

This was one of those episode we could've done without. I think the whole point was to see the courts and reporters for a future episode. I think!

Looking back, it was weird to see Cally being the door guard but I guess that's why Hot Dog was her baby daddy.

No Lee in the episode makes me sad. Not a lot of pilots at all really.

As far as the frat regs. From what I understand, you can't have a relationship with your superior officer or someone who is in your chain of command. If Kara was Galactica's XO and Lee was the CAG, that would be a no-no. I guess the Admiral or XO really couldn't have a relationship with anyone because they were everyone's superior. Now if Lee was Pegasus and Kara on the Big G. Go for it, not in the same chain of command. Yes, I learned all that from TV. The useless info in my brain about the military.:)

Glad you are back! Where is your partner in crime?

I really do think it was a court report feature episode. ; P

HA!! So true. Oh Cally.

Dude, I think you have mastered the frat regs policy. Brilliant. Just think of all the fictional military knowledge we've gathered over the years...

I don't know! I feel like I need to send a search and rescue mission to Spain to find Cosette. I miss her!

I use to watch JAG before and Stargate SG-1, so I think I've mastered the frat regs and not just show but the real ones as well. I wonder if I can get a certificate in that??

Cosette, I hope everything is well. I haven't seen her around since she left for her vacation about a month ago. I hope everything is fine with her and her family.

I'm sure we cna find you one. Heck, I can probably make a certificate for you. : D

Me too. **is concerned**

That would be fun!:)

I'm about to find people to find her because it is unlike her to be off grid for so long.
