NOBODY IS HAPPY IN SPACE

[sophieisgod]

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE ONLY HAVE 8 EPISODES LEFT, GUYS. How is this all going to resolce itself? HOW EXACTLY? They're taking their time, which is pretty standard on this show, but eeep! 8 EPISODES. DON'T LEAVE ME, SHOW. Anyway, some thoughts!

+ THE RETURN OF BITCHY!GAETA FTW, BABY. Although now he is all bitter and one-legged it makes me sad, and he's so angry. HOSHI, GIVE THIS MAN A CUDDLE AND/OR SEXING, STAT. I know Alessandro said that he would be getting bigger storylines towards the end of the season, but Gaeta VS Galactica, man, it really hurts. Remember how adorable and idealistic flashback!Gaeta was on New Caprica in "Unfinished Business"? MEEEEP TO INFINITY. But now I'm wildly hoping that his alliance with Zarek is somehow going to expand to include GAIUS FRAKKING BALTAR, because those two need to interact again because it is awesome and twisted and shit. God, when did I start loving Gaeta so much? I seriously cannot remember, BUT I AM WALLOWING IN IT.

+ Chief (although maybe I should start calling him, like, "Galen" now. Ex-chief? IDK) and Nicky. I don't know, this reveal of Hotdog as Nicky's father (HI HOTDOG!) feels kind of like a retcon to me. Like, the showrunners caught on that Chief/Cally made everyone sadpants, and therefore tried to bury it more than they already had, or something? I mean, for all that she was annoying and unhappy, Cally wasn't particularly a bad person, so it seems kind of unfair to post-humously go LOL SHE CHEATED ON YOU. Also, it makes Hera the Special Hybrid Baby again, which I hope is going to play out. Meh, I choose to read this as the show REMOVING EVERY POSSIBLE OBSTACLE IN THE PATH OF BOOMER/CHIEF. YEAH THAT'S RIGHT. But I am loving how Chief seems to have become some sort of mediator between the Cylons and the fleet. THAT'S MY BOY(FRIEND).

+ OLD PEOPLE SNUGGLING AND IN LOVE ♥ As much as Laura kind of scares me when she's being all totalitarian and shit, this weirdly zen 'I-want-to-just-live-our-lives' Laura is unsettling me even more. I DON'T KNOW WHY. The whole lack-of-direciton thing is worrying in general. Let's just focus on the snuggling.

+ The Cylon Baby Saviour Jesus Whatever is still skeeving me out somewhat. It's just really weird, watching Six and Tigh getting all cooey over baby scans together. WHY SAUL, ONLY LAST WEEK IT WAS REVEALED THAT ELLEN WAS YOUR CYLON SOULMATE FOR ALL ETERNITY, WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING AT? And for some reason I can't stop imagining that the baby will be born with, like, ELLEN'S FACE, and it's creeping me out and making me giggle hysterically.

In other news, I watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall. It was pretty fun; Mila Kunis is always adorable (has anyone seen Get Over it? MUSICAL SHAKESPEARE!), and there was Bill Hader and Hawaii and Jason Segel looking pretty good in shirts which didn't have patterns on them. I think I will forever regard it fondly, though, because while I knew that Jason Segel played the piano, and I knew that he enjoyed musicals, nothing in my life had ever prepared me for the wonders of a Dracula musical with puppets.

Emily Blunt is in Iron Man 2! Rejoice!

Jon Snow has a blog! CHANNEL 4 NEWS IS THE BEST NEWS EVER!

How are you? ♥

IF IT ISN'T I WILL CRY. Come on, show, it's been like 4 years! ENOUGH NEEDLESS TRAGEDY ALREADY!

IKR? It was so weird, he was chuckling in a manner that was not bitter! And re: Ellen, I love how before last week I was all "eh, Ellen, drunk and fabulous, heartbreaking death, whatevs," and now I am like SAUL WHAT ARE YOU DOING SHE IS YOUR FABULOUS DESTINY AND CAN PROBABLY HURT YOU FROM BEYOND THE GRAAAAVE.

LOLOLOLOL, that is too weird but also hilarious.

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

I think that is now my ~personal canon~. Freaky baby is born WITH ELLEN'S FACE, and then it says "You should have waited for me, Saul" AND THEN THE UNIVERSE IMPLODES, THE END.

Yeah, if that's why they did it, think that's low and cheap.

nd for some reason I can't stop imagining that the baby will be born with, like, ELLEN'S FACE, and it's creeping me out and making me giggle hysterically.
TERRIFYING BABIEZ.

I don't know, maybe they're going somewhere with it, but for now it feels kind of unnecessary. It did amuse me that Nicky and Hotdog seemed to have basically the same haircut, though.

I CAN'T ACTUALLY THINK ABOUT THIS SHOW LEAVING ME. I MIGHT BURST INTO UNCONTROLABLE TEARS, OR SOMETHING. DON'T LEAVE ME SHOW ;______;

There should be twisted/angry/manipulative/mindfucky type interaction between Geata and Baltar. I ship them so hard. (Other thoughts: Laura is worrying me, lots. Cheiiiif. Lee, cut your hair. HI HOTDOG. Cheiiiiif. Ahahaha, that's a lot more shallow that it was meant to be.)

ALSO, HELO WAS ON SCREEN FOR LIKE, A SECOND AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. MOAR HELO PLZ. ♥

Emily Blunt? And RDJ? At once? And she's Russian? And he's still witty?

...yeah, I'm going to fall over when this comes out. FROM THE WIN.

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

THE ACCENT, THE ACCENT, CAN YOU IMAGINE THE ACCENT? And possibly also gloves? *flails wildly*

GET OVER IT IS AMAZING AND WINSY AND OMG. I love that film, though I'd completely forgotten Mila Kunis was in it! I thought Forgetting Sarah Marshall was quite sweet, even though it made me severely dislike my darling girlcrush Kristen Bell (abhorrent character ahoy!), and there was much unexpected!penis from Jason Segel. Sweet, though.

EMILY BLUNT HELL YEAH. Iron Man 2 is going to be even more badass than the first.

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

I AM SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE HAS SEEN IT! God, I love that film. I know all the songs from "A Midsummer Night's Rockin' Eve"! And I covet all of Kirsten Dunst's crazy long skirts! IT'S SHAKESPEARE, BUT WITH RIDICULOUS SONGS WRITTEN BY THE PEOPLE WHO WROTE THE HAIRSPRAY MUSICAL! And Sisquo! AHHH.

Yeah, that was the only major drawback for me. Did you see 27 Dresses? I had the same problem with the sister character in that, blech.

BRING IT ON, BABY. Russian!Emily Blunt FTW!

EMILY BLUNT. IRON MAN. WIN. ♥

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

I AM HAVING LOTS OF STRONG, EXCITING FEELINGS ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT :)

[anothersadsong.livejournal.com]

JASON SEGEL IS MY NEW CRUSH AFTER THAT MOVIE. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH NOW. DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEE.

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

... I CAN'T.

I know, right? Before, I was just "Hey it's Marshall! I enjoy Marshall!" AND NOW I HAVE ALL THESE FEELING ABOUT HIM WEARING A WHITE SHIRT WITH CARGO SHORTS AND LOOKING AMAZING AND LOVELY AND TAAAAALL.

[anothersadsong.livejournal.com]

I KNOOOOOOW. AND NAKED. NAAAKKKKEEEED.

Firstly, Chief will always be Chief! They can demote him all they want but he'll always be Chief! - And Callie cheating actually makes me sad because Nicky was all Chief had left and now he doesn't have that really - although as Tigh and Six are proving cylons can have children so Boomer and Chief can have babies that are all their own (seriously, when are they going to meet??!!!!)

Tigh and Six are weirrd! At one moment I found them squeeing over the baby strangely cute and the next I found it weird again because it's Tigh and Six and they're having a baby and I know it's going to have something to do with Ellen!!
