That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

And, my love for Roslin grows. Maybe not a flawless solution, perhaps true war criminals/traitors are now allowed to walk freely, but what she diverted... *deep sigh*

I agree, I really loved that ending; although part of my love stemmed from the fact that all through the episode, I was thinking to myself, "Hm, this seems to parallel the situation in South Africa after apartheid in some ways," and then they actually went and set up the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, which is the actual same name as the actual committee that Nelson Mandela set up in South Africa to address, and begin to heal, the wounds of apartheid. I thought that was very cool.

Where does he fit, though, if he's not attached to Kara? He's not military (IIRC) nor is he government.

Hm. I didn't see that scene as them breaking up, so much as them dealing with an incredibly difficult and painful situation that impacts the future of their marriage. I don't think we've seen the last of Kara/Anders yet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I say Anders either goes, or stays attached to Kara. Wait--can he fly?

Jessica, can you spill in Spoilers or Spoilers Lite? I don't have the attention span to make it through the podcast.

Not Jessica, but I posted in Spoilage Lite.

Art Crawl!!!

Well, they said that six models voted and we've seen seven models. I can imagine that the six we've seen in Colonial One during the Occupation are the Ruling Cylons: Six, Three, Eight, Five, Simon and Cavil. Leaving Leoben and five others as not in charge.

I wanted to feel more worried about Gaeta but once they'd killed Jammer, I think that I just couldn't believe that they'd kill Gaeta too. (Too bad we didn't get to see JAKE.)

I'm not sure WHO THE HECK other than Gaeta they thought was leaving them all that intel. Did they just think it was a gift from the Gods?

Doctor Who: v. enjoyable. I loved seeing all the Zeppelins.

Torchwood: Whoo hoo!!! I got to see the first two episodes. So. much.fun. I hope my source doesn't dry up and I get to see more. Although I worry that I'll be spoiled for things in Who Season 2.

BTW, wasn't it cute that they count weight in stones in the 12 colonies?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Oh, it was! Though I thought it was an unnecessary jab from Papa Adama to Lee that he should keep jumping.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Although I worry that I'll be spoiled for things in Who Season 2.

So far, I think that Torchwood's spoileriness for s.2 Doctor Who will result in the occasional thought: "Ohhh, so that's where that came from." As opposed to major spoilers. The connection is enjoyable, IMO, rather than necessary.

ETA: As for TW ep.3, while I thoroughly enjoyed it, my cats did not seem to like it. This was particularly noticeable in Sammie, my spazzy little girl cat. Most of the time she did not bother looking at the screen, and when the screaming started, her ears shrank back. She actively watched most episodes of Eureka. She's got a thing for sandy-haired toms, and this may be causing her to be predisposed to like Colin.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Sooo..... uh, maybe this is totally Stompy-feet deserving, but uh, yeah re: The House Next Door

Colin, what was it like kissing Botox?

*runs*

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So I'm thinking I could have saved myself a whole lot of time by just tuning into Heroes for the last 15 minutes. I wouldn't have missed anything.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

You'd have missed the pile of dismemberment!
