Rewatching . . .

Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down

Doral: It bothers you doesn't it?

Six: We'll get them in the end.

Doral: No, it bothers you that you have never experienced it.

Six: You saw the way Helo was when he took her away? He was pathetic.

Doral: I can't help wondering what it would feel like to feel that - intensely. Even in his anguish, he seemed. . . so alive.

Six chokes back tears of denial. Doral has a small look of longing on his face.



Hypothesis: The original skin jobs must betray themselves, become "human" to "feel".

Proof:
Sharon staying with Helo
Caprica going back to Galactica
D'Anna pursuing the Five
Leoben shepherding Kara?

Does this apply to the Final Five?


Side Note: WHY is Gossip Girl not on itunes yet?

So I am avidly watching the last season of BSG, but still feeling a bit lost on catching up with the fandom. So here are some thoughts on 1- 3, heavy on 3.

Feedback: Is like sex and candy. More please.


( In the end, death was not the worst thing Kara had ever experienced. What came next was infinitely worse. )

Well, you know you are in the deep freeze when 1 degree above freezing feels balmy cause you could have survived without your gloves. Seriously, slathering on lotion like it's the cure to all things.

( BSG - The Woman King )

And to conclude, a paraphrasing of a conversation with wisteria_:

Me: OMG - Cecil Lively is in The Son Also Rises

W: Um, yeah, I've been telling you that since December. He's in the podcast.

Me: No! Really?

W: Dude, I told you, you'd recognize him when you see him.

Me: Totally, but why didn't you give me the X Files reference before now. I totally would have gotten that!


Okay, wisteria wouldn't say "Dude." That's all me. But still, once again - it all goes back to the X Files . . .

(  Kara never saw the flaw in her plan until she found herself hiding in Helo’s rack and pressed so close to Lee that she could smell the slight hint of sweat which lingered on his skin just underneath his usual clean-soap scent.  )

I've broken 1,000 words. 1,022 to be exact. It's been since September since I have done that. And last year I only wrote on smallfic and one ficletly drabble, so I am feeling rather accomplished. It has a basic structure. It even has a logcial stopping point, which could in turn jump into more if the idea keeps buzzing. Now it needs layers. Lovely layers.

She changes her grip, and eyes him like a canvas, and like calligraphy she carves onto his chest.

BSG: Unfinished Business Reactions

( Fighting Foreplay . . .Don Henley's End of the Innocence . . . Gaeta Rolls the Fight Bets into a New Pool . . . A Few Fic Cravings . . . )


Oh, and I just bemusedly remembered that I once posted an Unfinished Fic Amnesty fic called Unfinished Business starring Sydney and Sark. It was a bit cliche, but I still love the image of Sydney meeting Jack the morning after in a deserted old European piazza on the steps of the cathedral.

BSG 3.05 - Torn

( Chopped Locks, Wardrobe Mandates and Workout Buddies, Stepford Wives, and Crackfic Ideas )

And if anyone watched the NYC Marathon today, I live on Mile 17.

BSG 3.04 - Collaborators

Character ramblings which turned out to be longer that I thought, and mostly counched in terms of Kara.

( Kara's Surgical Precision, Anders as Beckham, Tigh's Kinship, Gaeta is Swimming, Lee's Poof, and the don't forget the Dog!  )

( Battlestar Galactica 3.04 )


( Torchwood! )

Now I really need to get back to that Rose / Jack piece that is in the works. . .
