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!

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!!
