SO MANY THINGS.
Feb. 21st, 2009 04:49 amBSG: If I had to describe this episode in one word, it would be.. messy. haphazard. That's not to say I didn't like it, though, because I DID, I think. Haven't read anyone else's reactions yet, but first of all: HEAD!SIX IS BACK, BITCHES. THAT MADE ME SO. OMG. AND THE SPECIAL HEAD!SIX MUSIC, HOW I'VE MISSED YOU. AND BALTAR YELLING SO HARD HIS VEINS POP OUT. LOLBALTAR. <3 Head!Six/Baltar lives, you guys. *_* And BOOMER. CHIEF. Chief getting all up close and personal and recognizing his one true love her right away, practically SNIFFING her, and saying it's good to see her, and watching her sleep, and I was SO EXCITED FOR THAT except then it cut to Sam and I was a bit disappointed, but then Sam started waking up and I was SO EXCITED FOR THAT except then it cut away again. Oh, show. :P
I'm not quite sure what to think of the whole Ellen/Tigh/Caprica triangle, except holy shit, the baby is dead, and that was actually.. sort of anticlimactic? I mean, the show has been going on about the baby for so long, and now it's just DEAD? I confess to.. not having felt much in regards to that whole arc. The best bit was Tigh crying to Adama afterward, hahahha, Adama who he loves more than Caprica (as he damned well better), Adama who HOLDS HIM CLOSE. Old men and their love. :)) ♥
Chief voting to jump away with the other cylons, right after he re-accepted the position of Chief. I don't think I like that, but I understand they had to do it to even the votes and up the suspense in the episode. Still, don't like it. He loves Galactica and Bill way too much to make that decision so nonchalantly.
All in all... an okay episode. Not the best by any means, but really, I'd shit myself over any BSG at this point.
SPN: THAT MOTHERFUCKING PROMO. I uploaded the mp4 here, in case anyone wants it.
You guys. You guys. CASTIEL IS BACK. MY ANGEL. MY CAS. !!! I mean, he's really, really back, and we haven't seen him since November, and there was that huge hiatus, and then we STILL didn't see him, and now here's this other hiatus, and my soul was quietly withering away without me even noticing too much, but he's BACK. In three weeks. Whatever. But he's back and just seeing his NAME makes my heart go all crazy and he's thinking about disobedience and he's so dark and chilling and dangerous and sexy and PUNCHING URIEL, god, that had better be in Dean's defense. That was wet-myself amazing. I don't want him to fall, and I don't think he will, despite the contemplating disobedience, but I'm glad they're exploring that. I'm glad they're having him tread such a dangerous line. I want. Oh god, I want. I want this show to be back so much, I want my Castiel back, really back, with Dean.
And jesus, DEAN, torturing Alistair, such poetic justice, and the way he SAYS it. Such a tingly thrill up my spine. He and Castiel -- it looks like major changes will be happening there, in them, between them, and now I'm more sure than ever that I can't start my Big Bang fic till I get a feel for what those changes will be. But THREE WEEKS. WHY? I'd so wanted to see more of Castiel before meeting Misha, but I guess not. D:
DEAN/CASTIEL SPECIFICALLY:
vichan has written us an amazing manifesto, to be posted at
ship_manifesto on Monday, and I got to read it today. It makes my heart do this funny swelling thing, and I can't wait for it to go live because I just want to bask in all the ship-love glory with you guys, and I might actually explode if that doesn't happen soon. LOOK FORWARD TO IT. *_* ♥!
DEAN/CASTIEL REC: The Consequences of Falling by
pandarus. 15 parts, but they absolutely fly by. This is everything I want in a fic -- snark, love, angst, h/c, suspense, hot sex, everything. She recently finished it, so I spent my afternoon with this fic and some cherry pie, and it was the most glorious afternoon I've had in a long time. This fic reminds me of what it feels like to be in love -- she nailed that in a way that just makes me unspeakably happy and high. And her Ruby is my absolute, all time favourite, from any fic AND from the actual show.
Plus, and here's the clincher... I realized while reading it that she's the one who wrote Invisible to See, that epic Harry/Draco fic from way back in '03. !!! Seriously, do any of you guys remember that? It was one of the classics, in a way, and she wrote that and now she's writing my other ship, and doing such a damn fine job of it, and why is my life so good? But man, you wouldn't believe the surge of H/D nostalgia that came on. I went back and reread the last couple chapters of that, and. My boys. My OTP. My Harry and my Draco. I'm such an incoherent, blubbering mess from all the awesome that happened today, god, but you guys, I miss you so much. I miss H/D SO MUCH. D:

1. Make a list of 5 things you can see without getting up:
- Draco!pilloe, a.k.a. the love of my life.
- BSG cast & crew book, which I keep, perhaps inexplicably, beside my pillows.
- My desk/computer/speakers.
- My other computer, a tablet, which I have named Castiel and which spends most nights next to my pillow as well. (I keep the things I love close, what can I say?)
- The AC, which is, naturally, right next to my bed.
2. How do you style your hair?
I wash it, I brush or finger-comb it, I let it dry, I sleep on it. Awesome styling job, there. ;)
3. What are you wearing now?
An "I ♥ cylons" t-shirt, in honour of the day, plus some underwear and the fleecy little robe from VS.
4. What's your occupation?
I'm a PhD student in neuroengineering. Which, by the way, is NOT very conducive to writing porn, in case anyone was wondering. D:
5. Do you nap a lot?
Considering I spent over $1,300 on my bed, what would you guess? :))
6. Who was the last person you hugged?
Uhm, some dude who likes me put his arm around me. I don't suppose that counts, though, since I sort of very subtly slipped out of it. I can't remember, I am not big on the hugging, except with a very small number of special people.
7. What's your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
Seriously, what a silly question, ANYONE who reads this journal at all already knows. More or less equal parts BSG and SPN, specifically Dean/Castiel. ♥
8. What was the last thing you ate today?
CHERRY PIE! And some Indian food. Then more cherry pie, hahahha.
9. What was the last text message you received?
"I'm grillin steaks if u want in" -- I told him 'no' since it is, after all, BSG night. XD
10. What websites do you always visit when you go online?
Gmail, LJ. There are no other staples, really.
11. What was the last thing you bought?
INDIAN FOOD. ♥
12. What are you listening to right now?
Dean/Castiel playlist!
13. What do you think about before you go to bed at night?
DEAN/CASTIEL. Even on BSG nights, sometimes.
14. What was the last CD you bought?
"Worst Fears Confirmed" by Vakill. Yes, it's rap, shut up.
15. What is your favourite weather, and why?
SNOWY. I love snow, I love snowboarding, I love curling up under my blanket with Draco!pilloe when it's freezing in the room.
16. If you could play any musical instrument, which one would you play?
Either the piano or the violin, but I play(ed) both, so do they count? If not, the guitar.
17. How are you?
Just finished a huge round of exams, there's BSG, there's an SPN promo, there's all this Dean/Castiel love, I'm meeting MISHA in TWO WEEKS, and I'm going out dancing tomorrow night. There is nothing wrong with my life, at all. God, but I do love my life.
18. What's something you'd like to say to someone right now?
WHERE IS THE INVISIBLE!DEAN/BENDY!CAS FIC?
19. What is the answer to life?
MISHA'S DICK. :D

Date: 2009-02-21 10:22 am (UTC)I'm still reeling over Ellen's jealousy over Tigh and Caprica and such, and then DEAD BABY OMGWHUT?! But I'm guess after all those years of wanting a child and never getting now but only within those months without her and suddenly he impregnates a Six, I guess it kind of gets to Ellen as somewhat of a betrayal of their love or whatever. I mean, they had been together and married for those thousands of years so, heh. Like I understand that but to have the baby just suddenly die?! OMGSADNESS.
I do admit while not being that involved with such a storyline, it was a heartfelt moment because of Caprica's devastation and then Tigh going to see Adama and them embracing as he wept on his BFF's shoulder. Awwww. I guess it's the realistic approach, sometimes miscarriages just happen without reason, and it really brought Ellen around to being sympathetic and apologizing without the petty need to get back at Saul (which that was the old!Ellen talking and coming out).
TIGH WAS GOING TO NAME HIS UNBORN SON "LIAM", SHORT FOR WILLIAM AND OBVIOUSLY HIS LOVE FOR HIS BESTEST FRIEND EVAH! OMG! ADAMA AND TIGH, THEIR BFF BROMANCE CANNOT BE DENIED! ;D
Awww, Tyrol and Boomer reuniting! And I loved how he recognized her immediately! His Cylon senses were tingling I guess? IDK but that moment was love, and her smiley expression and just omgomgomg. PLZ DON'T LET ANYTHING BAD HAPPEN TO THEM, PLZ!
Okay, I'm going off on this episode like whoa and I needs to stop otherwise this'll be comment overload. Haha.
CASTIEL! CASTIEL BB MY CASTIEL IS BACK WITH THE NEW FOOTAGE AND OMG! BAMF!CASTIEL IS MY FAVORITE OF ALL! WITH THE PUNCHING OF URIEL (!!!) AND THEN WITH HIM GOING OFF ON "HE'S DOING GOD'S WORK" AND ALL THAT STUFF AND JUST...SLDFJLSKJDF CAS!!!!
It has been like what, since last year (literally!) that we had Castiel on the show, and we're finally getting more of him. Too bad there's Anna's return and whatnot
don't want her around anymore diafnaobitch kthnx, but then Castiel's talking about disobediance and then there's the badass motherfucking attitude of his and I'm just !!!!! I want mah Castiel on my screen RIGHT NOW! Why must we wait until MARCH 12th?!?! Srsly.Dean torturing Alastair. Poetic justice, indeed. Though some are thinking this is what "God's work" is, I seem to think differently. Perhaps this is something that has to happen but this isn't what he was brought back for, not entirely. There's something more at work here.
Also, I just realized that once SPN returns it'll be the first of the last three episodes of BSG! D: D: D: BSG WILL BE FINISHED BEFORE SPN DOES, OMGWHUT?!
I can't remember, I am not big on the hugging, except with a very small number of special people.
WOULD I BE ON SUCH A LIST OF SPECIAL PPLS? I'm a person who likes hugging her friends, since I believe that hugs are comforting and reassuring, though I'm not one for the tackle!hugs unless I know the person well. ;)
I wanna learn how to play the violin, too. I find the instrument very interesting and, if you play it right, the sound is just so beautiful.
YOU'RE GONNA BE MEETING MISHA AND I AM SUPAH JELOUS OF YOU BB! YOU BETTER TAKES LOTS OF PICS AND REPORT ALL THE DETAILS! :D :D :D

Date: 2009-02-21 10:39 am (UTC)Yeah, I can understand where everyone's coming from in that triangle, but I never did like Ellen too much, except for last episode. She definitely reverted back to her old self a lot in this one, I guess Tigh brings it out in her, but the pettiness irked me a little. And I do feel for Caprica, it's just.. the baby death came so unexpectedly, in the middle of all that frantic STUFF happening, that it didn't quite pack as much of an emotional punch as it probably should have. There was just too much going on in this episode, everything felt a little disjointed.
HAHHAHA IKR? HE EVEN NAMED HIS UNBORN SON AFTER BILL. HAD SETTLED ON THAT NAME YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS AGO. :)) If Adama/Roslin wasn't The Thing, I would totally ship Adama/Tigh harder.
I just reallyreallyreally wanna see Chief and Boomer's next scene where she's actually awake. Have been waiting for so long. :(
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, CAS. YES, GOD, LOOK AT THAT BADASS MOTHERFUCKING ANGEL RIGHT THERE, WITH HIS ATTITUDE, YES. EVEN MORE INTENSE THAN BEFORE, IF POSSIBLE, AND I WATCHED THEIR PARK BENCH SCENE AGAIN TODAY AND GOD, SO FREAKING MUCH AS HAPPENED BETWEEN THEN AND WHERE HE IS IN THESE NEW EPISODES, AND JUST. Oh my god, my Cas. I don't think he's referring to Dean's torturing Alistair as God's work, either -- that seems so petty. Not the sort of thing one gets pulled out of Hell for. :P I mean, we don't even know for a fact that Castiel is talking about DEAN, though of course that's the most likely candidate. Promos are meant to be misleading, though, so I'm not really forming any concrete thoughts on that yet.
OH GOD PLEASE DO NOT TALK ABOUT BSG ENDING, I CANNOT. I CAN'T. DENIAL IS MY FRIEND. D:
Dude, I would absofrakkinglutely hug you, bb. Actually I do the hugging thing with LJ friends more than with RL friends, maybe just because I'm always so damn excited to actually see/meet them. XD So you? are definitely on my hugging list. ♥
The violin really is beautiful, and I loved it, but I found the appeal was being part of the orchestra rather than in the solos.
I WILL TAKE SO MANY PICTURES, GOD. AND I HAVE SO MANY THINGS I WANT TO ASK HIM, I CAN'T POSSIBLY GET TO THEM ALL. IF I GET TO ANY, THERE'S A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY HIS PRESENCE WILL RENDER ME UTTERLY STUPID AND MUTE. D:

I can't believe how long we've waited to see him again, how did we survive??? I'm convinced we've all been in some kind of bizzare semi-hibernation living off fic and just waiting! And he looked so SAD and so very CONFUSED and SO BADASS AND DANGEROUS OMG!!! And he PUNCHED URIEL!!! And I don't want him to fall, but oh Cas, if you disobey on Dean's behalf I will never be able to get over this show and this ship EVER.
I don't want him to fall, and I don't think he will, despite the contemplating disobedience, but I'm glad they're exploring that. I'm glad they're having him tread such a dangerous line.
Oh gods I hope we're right, I hope he doesn't fall,
I hope he gets punished in some other painfully whumpy mannerbut I love the conflict and the doubts and he's breaking my heart here!And DEAN!!! OMG DEAN!!! He's so HOT and so BADASS and I love him SO MUCH!!! And I'm nervous about the whole 'there's a human in there somewhere' thing, but oh holy crap Dean torturing Alastair could easily become the most epic scene in SPN history!!!
IT NEEDS TO BE MARCH!!! THANK GOD I HAVE UNI TO TAKE MY MIND OFF THINGS OR I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW I'D SURVIVE, AND I'M JUST SO GLAD THAT SO MANY OF MY FLIST ARE OFF TO THE CON BECAUSE OMG THE PICS AND VIDS AND REPORTS ARE THE ONLY THINGS THAT KEEP ME FROM GOING NUTS.
I love you SO HARD bb and I'm off to download that promo and play it in uber slowmo over and over and over again until my laptop melts into a twisted scrap of plastic and metal.

Date: 2009-02-21 07:35 pm (UTC)Seriously, since November, that's last YEAR, that's crazy, and there are still three more weeks to go. I don't even know how. I mean, I also think we survived through some barely-there haze of hopelessness, but now that we've tasted the real thing -- god, THREE FUCKING WEEKS? D:
YES, sad and confused and all that backed-into-a-corner angel wrath just underneath the vessel, he practically VIBRATES with it, and he's come so far from that smooth, unruffled angel in Lazarus Rising and it's because of DEAN, oh god, oh god, this ship, this ship can just keep my heart forever.
He's breaking my heart, too, and I keep thinking back to what Sera Gamble said, about Castiel not being able to walk among humans and not get involved, and he's just so. HELPLESS, in a way, to do anything but care about Dean, even if it brings him down, and this is why we love them, isn't it? I hope Dean brings him back up at the last second, I hope Dean does something FOR him, preferably after a good whump.
Right, I'm a little worried about the human inside too, but the way he says "let's get started" with that little SMIRK, you can practically see the black smoke swirling under his skin, and just. Shivery, shivery, both of them send such a chilling thrill through me.
THE THOUGHT OF THE CON IS REALLY WHAT I'M FOCUSING ON, YES, BECAUSE THEN I CAN THINK TO MYSELF "TWO WEEKS" INSTEAD OF THREE. D:
You're welcome! :D :D :D That's actually have I've been doing, hahahahha, watching Castiel's bits frame by frame and just wiggling with stupid delight in my chair.

I mean, the show has been going on about the baby for so long, and now it's just DEAD?
Yeah, I know Ron Moore was considering having Sharon lose her baby back in season two, and the other writers fought against it because there'd been too much build-up to her as Miracle Opera House Shape-of-Things-To-Come Child. Not learning from that, huh? :D On the other hand, I feel like more time was devoted to ISN'T IT GREAT AND HAPPY WE'RE HAVING A BABY than its mythical role like Hera -- more of a device to put all the characters through woe than a plot device. So in *that* way it paid out?
I'm way more emotionally invested in the Tighs and Caprica than, oh, 98% of fandom, so I feel like I'm the only person who thought this episode was heart-pounding and not Boring Filler. Heh. But two elements that completely fell flat for me: Tyrol voting to go, and Adama giving Baltar's cult a bunch of assault rifles. WHAT?
no subject
Date: 2009-02-21 07:46 pm (UTC)Ha, well, I'm glad at least one of them survived. And you're right about Liam being more of an emotional thing than a mythical thing, but that's sort of the thing.. I never really bought into Tigh/Caprica being so happy together because there was basically nothing between "beat-the-shit-out-of-Tigh brig!sex" and "happy, expecting couple" that I could follow, emotionally. Caprica's desolate crying on the hospital bed got to me, and so did Tigh's crying on Adama, but there was just so much else going on that I'm not sure it was done enough justice.
I don't think the ep was Boring Filler, though. it was all necessary and it moved the plot along, but it felt more like a list of things that had to happen being slapped together rather than a cohesive story.
Tyrol voting to go was the only thing that actually annoyed me about this episode. The assault rifles.. I just kind of laughed. :P

Date: 2009-02-21 03:52 pm (UTC)OMG YES that was what I was thinking too!!! I had immersed myself in so much fanfic, discussion threads, fanvids etc., all the while pining for new Cas scenes so much that they began to seem unreachable to me, especially since we kept getting hiatuses and the show pushed back and he was NEVER in the current episode or the next, so that seeing new Castiel scenes started to seem like an unattainable pipe dream! Like Castiel was just a collective dream we all had! If that makes sense :)
I'm so EXCITED!!! CAS IS BACK!!!! Of course I'm intrigued about the other stuff, especially Dean torturing Alastair, but right now the only thing I can truly focus on is CASTIEL. HE'S BACK. AND HE LOOKS GORGEOUS.
And the way he whispers "I'm considering disobedience" is so, so, so unbelievably SEXY. GUH.
no subject
Date: 2009-02-21 07:51 pm (UTC)YES. SO GORGEOUS. AND SO TORN BETWEEN GOD AND DEAN AND SO DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF IT, and oh god, poor Cas, getting his world turned upside down by a human, he must be such a huge war going on inside him. I just want to see him kick some ass and nearly lose control and be brought back, a little, by Dean.

Hahha wow, when they say immediately, they really do mean immediately, huh.
I just don't want Castiel to lose his badassery. Dean and Sam need somebody powerful on their side, and Castiel's the only one it can be. If, however, he falls strictly as a consequence of saving/protecting Dean, that would be.. beyond all. God, can you even imagine what will happen to our little fandom? XD
LOL, basically I design shit to put in people's brainzzz, like if someone gets an arm amputated we can give them a prosthetic one and have that be controlled by a little chip in the brain that reads brain signals. so the person could still control the arm by thinking at it, just like a real arm. That's the general idea, anyway, and there's a huge range of other projects other people are working on.

Date: 2009-02-21 08:13 pm (UTC)Maybe Sam was talking to Alistair? I'm not sure, but that would make sense, since he couldn't do anything to him last time and it certainly wasn't Lilith.
I JUST WANT TO MEET YOU AND GET INDIAN FOOD TAKEOUT AND GO HOME TO WATCH SPN. <3333333333 If only I was in Europe.
<333333333333333333333333333333333333333! SO MUCH. I love you, I love Misha, I love Jensen, I love the WORLD.
Also, unrelatedly, I must ask you something: What's your take on rimming? Hot? Ew? Don't care much either way?

Date: 2009-02-22 06:41 pm (UTC)I think it'll be a very close thing, with Sam. But I refuse to believe he won't be able to come back.

Date: 2009-02-23 08:39 pm (UTC)I'm still not sure about the episode =(
It had a point:now with the dead cylon baby humans have to find a way to live with Cylons.
But it felt like the final cut was made for 10 min =(
Plus I'm tired of drunk and whining Bill.
And I'm intrigued to the story with the cult and guns. Where will it lead?
Anf I felt sorry for Caprica =( Nobody deserves this =(
CAN"T WAIT TILL 12.03!!!!!!!

Date: 2009-02-23 08:50 pm (UTC)I also kind of feel like having the baby die was a plot device to keep the alliance together, make the cylons unwilling to leave.
This episode definitely wasn't handled too wisely, they could've cut some annoying drunk Adama gazing with that same expression at his ship in every shot and added more emotion with the dead baby. meh.
MARCH 12 IS LIKE, THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL.
