Friday Night Television: *loves*

[butterfly]

Battlestar Galactica: I really enjoyed it, but don't want to say anything further until the (2-hour) finale next week. Except, I do hope that Gaius gets to be unselfish and Boomer gets to remain alive. I'm not putting any money on either, but I have hope.

Sarah Connor: Is that a 'Red Dwarf' reference with calling the Terminator at the sub's wheel 'Queeg' or does that date to something older?

Cameron had some really fantastic stuff this episode and I also really loved going back and seeing the Weaver plotline -- we got to see both her chilling lack of concern for Savannah and her pride in John Henry for acting beyond his basic programming.

Jesse is... a wonderfully-drawn character. I've always enjoyed her and that's only increased as we've learned more of her backstory.

Dollhouse: Better and better each week, I think (and next episode is a Joss-penned one, I believe!). Love the way Echo is evolving, love that we're seeing that it isn't just her, as Victor reacts to Sierra in a way he's not supposed to (over and over). The process is inherently flawed, just as it is inherently wrong.

yes yes yes!

Man, I was hoping you'd post about BSG. My friends list is so tragically bare of BSG talk.

This next week is going to be so painful, waiting to see how it all ends. I don't think I've been so anxious about a series finale since BtVS.

Totally agree.
I loved all three shows tonight, and I think Dollhouse is improving every week.
Next week is going to be hard, knowing that it's the final episode for BSG. :sob: I just hope I have enough tissues handy, 'cause I'm sure I'm going to need them.

Captain Queeg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Queeg). Not an auspicious thing to name your robot captain! And Jesse is fascinating - I'm really anxious to see the second half of her story.

And ITA on Dollhouse. I'm looking forward to next week!

I enjoyed Dollhouse again, but I just *cannot wait* for next week's ep! I hope people who have been on the fence about it give it a shot next week.

I see Dollhouse getting accused of "making rape pretty" all over the 'net, and it's driving me crazy. Anyone actually watching the show can see that it's portrayed as creepy as frak, so can we please be doing something about FOX's promos, which I suspect are the source? The promos are, in usual FOX fashion, killing the show. I'm going to write them about the issue, but perhaps some folks would like to join me?

BSG was so much love. It really didn't feel like this was the last episode before the finale, though - and the (beautiful, beautiful) flashbacks made me realise that I'm really not ready to let go of these characters yet. Woe.

I also very much hope that Gaius will get to be unselfish - after all, what else could be his story? - and that Boomer will be redeemed and stay alive. If I can't have both, then I want at least redemption for her. And it would just break my heart if Gaius remained a selfish prick.

I loved the flashbacks so much (Roslin's were heartbreaking and reminded me of why I used to adore her and Kara/Lee/Zak's was so charming in such a 'they have no idea' way).

I know! It would break my heart, too.
