You spelled Laura wrong?
Although the recovery of Laura Roslin in time to make the fool of Tigh was an obvious turn of events, it was still rewarding.
I saw this more of a trick on Laura's part; that she was faking, so Tigh would be tricked into letting them see her. Her manner went from babbling to cogent instantly when they arrived. But then, I haven't hardly watched BSG, so I may not totally understand everything I'm seeing.
Her manner went from babbling to cogent instantly wen they arrived.
Because Billy had gotten her the chamalla extract.

OH! Missed that part, thanks. Yes, that is an obvious turn of events... and yes, rewarding.
I totally bought that she was so out of it that she didn't know Ellen. Then again I would try and erase the fair Mrs. Tigh from my memory banks too. My take was that the guard got her the drugs she needed to go back to "normal" somewhat delusional Laura.

Hee. Adama actually. Which still looks wrong for some reason.
Maybe it should be Amana, because he's an appliance. A tool, if you will. No wait, that's Tigh.
God, I'm so tired of Jaffa politics
Jaffa
cakes,
on the other hand, never become wearisome. No sir.
sigh.
I really want new BSG. I envy you lots.
I like Jaffa politics.
Seriously, I wondered whether RDA and MS were actually in the same room for filming their scene. Really unsatisfactory.
Yeah, they were. They leave the room together at the end, and you see both faces.
Hmmm. Depressingly, I'm finding SGA less than compelling viewing. I think I sprained something with the handwaving, but that shouldn't really matter to me so much, surely? Because there was plenty of handwaving in BtVS, wasn't there? And yet it owned my ass.
But it's so - it's very like
Star Trek.
Or even
Galaxy Quest.
And one of the things I loved most about BtVS and AtS was the story telling, and the juxtaposition of mundane (although all things Californian are automatically shiny and foreign to me, but still) and heroic. It's ... I'm not saying this well. But I'm really not suspending disbelief yet. I'm charmed by some of the characters, but I don't care about what they're doing, because it seems - dumb. And predictable. And the Wraith are just...silly.
::pouts::
It hasn't captured my imagination or affections in the way that BSG did, or even
Carnivale.
Never mind the Whedonverse things. This is sad-making. I think I may stick to the fanfic, which involves much less handwaving.
Maybe I just need to shift my assumptions about what the show's going to be, though. It's more of a drinking game kind of show, more of a
Smallville
kind of show. Hmm. If I think of it as a
Smallville
kind of show, in terms of silly plots and handwaving... yeah, that might work. My love for
Smallville
does not hinge upon any suspension of disbelief, or upon the quality of the writing. And, okay, SGA doesn't have Clex, but it's got lots of snark. And John and Rodney are adorable, and Ford is very sweet, and I'm quite fond of Teyla and Elizabeth. Hmm. Yes, this might work.
On the other hand, I just watched the first episode of
House,
and loved it to pieces. And, sweet weeping mother of God, nothing prepared me for the textiness of the House/Wilson slash. Even the dying patient was slashing them!
...decisions, decisions. Do I watch another episode of
House,
or try the first episode of
Veronica Mars...
Go
Veronica Mars,
choose
Veronica Mars.
House
is fun, but settles into its formula very quickly.
Veronica Mars
has more puzzles, and more things to keep track of.
