Just a little bit weird.

a) oxoniensis has discovered the love that is Grey's Anatomy. I know you all want to go and share the George!love with her. Read Fuck the Details, which totally wins for best title award.

b) prairiedawn wins The OMG!Gary<33333 Award for linking me to this Snow Patrol gig in Vancouver, and uh, Tahmoh Penikett just wins for being dead hot and making me want to do nothing but write Helo porn.

c) ISO the following songs: Bobby Brown 'Don’t Be Cruel'; Stardust 'Music Sounds Better with You', Franz Ferdinand 'Take Me Out'; Modest Mouse 'Ocean Breathes Salty Water;' Beck 'New Pollution'; Blondie 'Call Me'; ETA: The Beatles 'Get Back'

d) I'm working on discrediting myself with Battlestar Galactica and everything I said about a) not seeing slash on the show and b) not needing to write for it, because it's so complete on its own. I mean, yeah, I was all what slash, and now my brain is all, think about the Helo/Lee pretty and hello, how angsty is the Chief/Helo? Sadly, one cannot have the Chief/Helo without addressing the Sharon Factor, and I'm not a Sharon fan. And yet, I just keep thinking I could actually make the Helo/Lee work.

Imagine if you thought your boyfriend was dead, and then your dead brother's fiancée (who you'd been in love with prior to your boyfriend) showed up. And then, you lost her again, only to have her come back with your dead boyfriend, who had impregnated the person who'd tried to kill your father. You'd be a really unhappy person, wouldn't you? Yeah, Lee should get laid.

I forgot to tell you that the reason Tyrol and Helo are in prison is because an officer on the other ship (the one run by the crazy lady) tried to rape Helo's Sharon when she was in the Galactica prison. It was seen as breaking the enemy. When Helo and Galen found out what was about to happen there was a huge fight in the jail cell and the officer hit his head on an exposed bit and died. Helo and Tyrol were then arrested for treason and murder.

Yeah, I know.

Wait, I thought that some guy was being raped? MAN, I am confused. My friends were convinced that a man had been like, gang raped or something. Holy crap, this is complicated.

No, no men have been raped on the show. Yet. They did allude to the possibility last week though, which really freaked out a lot of people, including me, but I think what really had people reeling what the realization was that this was just *so* possible in RL.

What, IMO, makes BSG so amazing is the way that the storylines run parallel with modern day concerns and politics. The idea of terrorists living among us; the idea that every decision really does have raminfications; and what really tends to draw people -- the fact that there is no good and bad on this show. A lot of shows get bogged down with the whole "this is right and this is wrong, because we say so" shlock, but BSG doesn't do that. BSG knows that people are multi-layered and that no one is good all the time. What you would think of as "good" people do henious things. Stereotypically "bad" people do great things. It would be easy to write off the Cylons as heartless machines, but they have a God, they have beliefs, they fall in love and have dreams and stuff. It's all grey. It's really fucking fantastic.

It sounds awesome. Now if only I could find season 1 for free...

Dude, the crazy lady is Ensign Ro from ST:TNG and that's a whole level of crazy all on its own. It's like, Ensign Ro and Captain Picard had a lovechild and then it got exiled to an alternate universe where its genetics made it perfect for both crazy fucked-upness and for commanding spaceships. See, the crack writes itself!
