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.

I love Boomer, poor misguided thing. Even if it was her mission to get Hera, even if she used Tyrol's affection for her, I think what she said about her affection for him was true. I feel for her, how badly humanity has rejected her, and how she's had to embrace her Cylon heritage to have any kind of acceptance.

Yes. And this episode proved that even when she was helping them, she got treated worse than the cylons who were complicit in the attempted genocide of the colonies.

And what's with all this "she seduced Helo" biz? She had to boff him or he'd have known something was up, that was what was up with that scene.

I know! She really didn't have any choice with that scene -- she tried not to kiss him and he got suspicious.
