Brief reactions to Friday TV: BSG, Sarah Connor, Dollhouse

Battlestar Galactica

So.

*glances around flist*

Am I the only person not hating Boomer right now?

Sarah Connor

Hmm. I need to watch that one again. Also, Sarah really adores her kid, doesn't she? It's even more obvious in her dreams than in real life. I love their relationship so much. The only fic that I really want to read in SCC is gen Sarah & John fic that deals with their relationship.

Dollhouse

Okay, I was really enjoying the show before tonight, but with the look between Echo and Sierra at the end there, I'm seriously fangirling in a major way (not only does Echo remember that she and Sierra are friends, she's aware that it might be dangerous to be too open about it!). I loved the episode as a whole -- the issues that Rayna was dealing with are just the sort of thing I was hoping for when I heard about this show. Identity and what the world expects of women and how we can deal.

So, you know. Awesome.

Also, I loved the Victor reveal.

BSG -- I'm having many emotions towards Boomer right now. Primarily disappointment. But. Well, we'll see. She hurt Athena, and that's not cool, and frakking Helo was completely unnecessary. Well, unless. Um. Yeah.

T:SCC -- Loved it. Definitely one to rewatch, although I'm pretty proud of myself for what I caught on the first time through.

Dollhouse -- YES! This show is going to be exactly what I wanted. I also loved Echo's imprint for the mission -- I saw a bit of Faith in the attitude and casual buttkicking, which made it very entertaining on the surface-level, and that's a good thing. That moment in the end made me shout out loud.

Hurt Athena but didn't kill her. I do think that she clearly had... issues with Athena, but she had every opportunity in the world to kill her and didn't.

Also, it seemed clear to me that she didn't want to have sex with Helo, but couldn't see any way of getting out of it without alerting his suspicions (she tried, several times). They were going to be separated for a while and he wanted to be with his wife. Ducking his kiss at the beginning was already making him twig that something was off.

Loved it. Definitely one to rewatch, although I'm pretty proud of myself for what I caught on the first time through.

I suspected about half-way through that it was the non-hospital part that was real, but I really want to rewatch it to check out everything now that I know the whole deal.

YES! This show is going to be exactly what I wanted. I also loved Echo's imprint for the mission -- I saw a bit of Faith in the attitude and casual buttkicking, which made it very entertaining on the surface-level, and that's a good thing. That moment in the end made me shout out loud.

It was completely awesome! I also loved the imprint (Jordan?) that Echo had. The accent was a lot of fun.
