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.

Oh, I definitely don't think her decisions qualify as 'right', but I also don't think that there's any decision that she could make that would. So. 'Sucks to be Boomer' is how this tune goes, I think. It's been playing since the first season.

I also agree that she feels intense envy toward Athena (if she didn't, she would have been... nicer about knocking her out). Athena was aware of the genocide and was part of the cylons until she fell in love... but she's been able to have happiness and love. Meanwhile, Boomer is doing the 'if I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all' dance.
