The 5 Things Meme.

You know the drill.

Do me a favor and ask for five things. My fandoms are: Star Wars, Hornblower, RPF for Paul McGann and/or other Hornblower actors, Supernatural, West Wing, Venture Brothers, Boondock Saints and really, anything that you might desire to see done in a halfassed way. If anybody wants it, I'll even write Battlestar Galactica, Nip/Tuck, and Harry Potter.

Be greedy and ask for lots. I'm in a rut these days, and writing these short little things will help me pare down my blather tendencies. :D

AHAAHAHAHAHA. OMG. NO. I stopped watching halfway through season two, a little before crazy Admiral, and I saw the first episode of the third season, but that's about all. Clearly, I am in tune with the BSG writers, though with what I've heard about their butchery of Lee and/or Starbuck, I don't know whether that's a good thing to be. XD

And I love Lee with a truly absurd love. Sweet Jesus.

the first 4 eps of season three are more than worth it, as are eps 10-12 of season two. you have a sacred duty to watch them sometime, they are balls-to-the-wall amazing and I think the darkest and best BSG has been.

as for the rest of season three, you just need to watch this speech by Lee in which he criticizes the writers for such a crappy-ass season. it is Lee through and through, all principled and self-hating and noble, will make you fall in love with him all over again, and is the only golden spot in the rest of an unfortunate year. sadly, five minutes does not redeem sixteen episodes...

OMG LEE. LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. MY BOY.

Although I have to admit to be mightily distracted by the awesome of Bamber's cuffs in there.

And yeah. I adore the thread of self-hatred that runs through him. It makes my heart warm for reasons that I can't really understand; I supsect it's why I loved even the infamous hooker episode, and kgjdfhda. Will watch Eps 10-12 on your recommendation. I wasn't overly impressed with the little bits of the third season I saw, but I love dark, bleak BSG more than words can express.
