dianora2Went to Brooklyn Brewery tonight with some friends to celebrate someone's birthday. Brooklyn Brewery is in Williamsburg, and needless to say we were the oldest people there. Ha. It was an interesting experience, though, even if I did feel out of place for not wearing skinny jeans and boots. But, I realized I hadn't set the DVR for Dollhouse, so needed to get home in time for that, plus my family is coming to visit tomorrow and my apartment is a DISASTER. Ugh. So, early night for me. On to television:
Eh. It wasn't bad. I very much enjoyed the shirtless Tahmoh boxing, even if the metaphor was as subtle as an uppercut. I never liked Olivia Williams before but liked her in this. I am intrigued by nerd guy and by handler dude. I think the whole concept of completely taking away their prior personalities is very cool. Ultimately, though, I am concerned that the fatal flaw of this show is that while Eliza Dushku is very hot, and enjoyable to watch, she is not that great an actress. She's no Jennifer Garner, who made me completely believe all her aliases. That said, it's just the pilot, so we shall see.
Well, I'm definitely going to have to watch that one again to completely understand it. I get that the five created the other eight (eight, yeah, OK whatever) and actually really liked the "twist" of Cavil hating them for it, and the fact that he's known all along who they are! Damn! And I thought Cylon Ellen was really awesome, which is saying something since I could never stand Human Ellen. Every time she called him "John" I snickered. I also found the way she related to the Centurion very interesting.
Chief is Chief again, yay! Also, he and Tory LOLOLOL. Loved how Starbuck snorted at that, thus channeling the audience. Clearly, all of this has happened before, but it does NOT have to happen again, HA.
Dear Doc Cottle, please don't ever stop smoking in operating rooms. ILU.
NO GAIUS WTF. Sniffle.
ONLY ONE SCENE OF LEE WTF. Sniffle again. It was a really nice scene, though, plus he was wearing the Red Shirt of Unspeakable Hotness, as if they were trying to make it up to us that he was only in one scene. "I'll try to be smarter and wronger" LOL. Oh my gosh so nice to see someone smile on this show, especially such a beautiful smile. Of course, once again -- does he have an official position or what? Loved his idea of how life is now defined by the ship you're on, not what planet you're from. Yes.
I was a bit irked that he didn't stop by to lend a shoulder to Kara, but I guess that would have meant too many people clustered around Sam's hospital bed. *eyeroll* And I'm sorry, but, having Sam of all people spit out all that gobbledygook had me laughing pretty hard. And then when he was talking like the Hybrid I really laughed.
So, Daniel = #7 = Starbuck's dad maybe?
I'm not a Boomer fan but now that she's going to be back on Galactica I am really hoping she and Chief get back together!
Most hilarious part of the episode: Adama has a Reach toothbrush. Way to bust me out of the versimilitude, set dressers.
Tigh and Caprica being lovey dovey continues to melt my brain, and I'm not sure if it's in a good way or a bad way. BUT: dudes, Tigh is going to be the CENTER OF A LOVE TRIANGLE. LOLOLOL. Everybody wants the Tight! And if you had told me a couple years ago that I was going to think such a thing was the greatest thing ever, I'd have told you you were nuts.
Not sure I can even comment on the Kara/Sam stuff as it hurts my shipper heart. Actually, that's not entirely true. Of course she still loves him and was going to be by his side through this ordeal. And on the bright side, I didn't feel any grand love or passion going on there, just protectiveness.
He's brain dead now but I'm guessing Ellen will be able to rewire his circuitry or whatever. (I love that Ellen is the smart one, heeeeeee.)
Overall, while it was very interesting, and I definitely need to sit with it a while more, there was waaaaaay too much infodump. To have both the A and B storylines be nothing but exposition was a mistake. Lots of sitting in rooms, not doing anything, which was a boring counterpoint to the past couple of weeks of kick-ass awesomeness. Kick it back into high gear next week, pls.

canadiangirl_86's cracktastic vid: Bootylicious, starring Lee Adama. HILARIOUS.
Lost just celebrated its 100th episode, and to celebrate they got a cake from Ace of Cakes! Jorge Garcia has the details on his blog. Go check out the awesomeness.
The Harry Potter books redesigned as Penguin classics. Thanks tocorellianjedi for the link.
Papa Johns Love Pizza is a lie. LOL.
And, on a more serious note, Ohio abstinence program implies you deserve to be raped if you have a reputation as a slut.
My co-worker and I were geeking out today because the new Star Wars novel features Fenn Shysa as a character!!! And if you know what that means, congratulations, you are as big of a geek as I am.
Thank you to whoever sent me the virtual rose! I'm sure it's the only flowers I'll get, so I appreciate it. :)
