The BSG finale.
Omg, that ending.
Everything else in the ep is blocked out to me in the face of that ending. *woes* Poor Ma didn't know what was going on, her granddaughter's just sitting in the living room, crying her eyes out. Yes, I am way too emotional and even now I have a headache from that crying jag but god, it was deserved. They killed Laura. *wibbles*
Okay, see, I know she's dying from cancer, I know she's not going to live forever, everybody dies sometime, right? But I wish wish WISH it'd ended on a happier note, like, earlier when she and Bill were sitting side by side admiring this new 'Earth' or just when he took her up to see this luxurious new planet from the air. They didn't have to kill her right in front of me, you know?! I get that it's all poignant and poetic and meaningful and stuff, but...I just wish they hadn't killed her onscreen. I'd've loved to see it end knowing they were together and content instead of having that image of Bill on his own. *sadface*
Everyone else got their happy ending. Frakking Baltar and Six. Ellen and Tigh. Helo and Athena and Hera.Lee and Starbuck. *snorts. Wait, wtf was that all about? I love it, he's getting all motivated and focused and then- she disappears. W. T. F.

Lie to Me.
Why do I watch this show? WHYYY? I don't like ships where the partners are already in other relationships! And this isn't just some random guy that turns up for one ep and disappears again, though when even that little hurts my soul, you can imagine how much it kills me that Gillian is MARRIED. And her tool of a husband doesn't even appreciate her, the prick. Gotta say I love![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chibi_tenshi24 's plan:
we need tobury her husband's body get the husband out of the picture
*rubs hands gleefully* I mean, even if it seems like overkill just for a guy who threatens my ship [although I wrote a fic killing off Seven of Nine for that very reason], the fact that he is obviously cheating on her makes him more than worthy of literal 'character assassination'. *smirks*
I know I'm in for a rough time with this show- hey, I just barely survived BSG, I don't know if I'm in the best shape to tackle more angst- and I tried to make myself leave this show before I got in too deep but it's too late for that. Do No Harm was such a beautiful ep, even if it makes me feel even worse for Gillian. I knew there was some subtext with the case, she was personally connected to the theme somehow but I just thought maybe she'd been adopted or something. Then when it turns out she's been an adoptive mother but lost her child? *huggles her* And now that frellnick is cheating on her. *stabs him*
That final scene with her on the balcony- LOL, another one of my ships has balcony moments, it's such a theme!- and Cal coming up after her...total love. This guy is so blunt and abrupt with most people, he wants to expose the lies and make them face the truth, but he keeps silent about her husband and now he's there providing the support she needs and can't get anywhere else. I think it's a little early in the show for her to be breaking down, but damn it, that was such a sweet moment, I can't fault them for it. I had to rewind a few times to watch Cal patting her and being all, 'I got nowhere else to be but here with you'. Oh. *clutches heart* Yep, I'm a goner. No way can I abandon ship now.
I think Dido's White Flag describes me perfectly.
'I will go down with this ship
and I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag upon my door
I'm in love and always will be...'

Buffy.
Is it weird that Spike is now my favorite character? In season six, all the 'Scoobies' are acting like total retards, and he's like, the one decent guy around. How wack is that?
I cannot articulate my complete and utter hate for Xander. HE ditched ANYA at their wedding, okay? He apologizes and begs and whines endlessly about how it hurts him and how he wants to be with her but can't commit. So she makes a mistake, she gets drunk and sleeps with Spike. Big deal. It wasn't calculated, it wasn't a move designed to hurt him, it wasn't ABOUT HIM, it was about HER and HER PAIN. Where the frak does he get off JUDGING her for her actions when he's been despicable to her? What's this crap about 'oh, how you disgust me for sleeping with that?' and then when realizing how it impacts Buffy...suddenly he doesn't give a damn about the woman he supposedly loved and his best friend. Who's always been there for him and backed him up all the way. He hurts her and he just walks away, leaving her hurt and kicked when she's down. Nice job being a friend, Xander.
He doesn't get to be on his high horse and act like a moral authority when he's so frakking messed up and decidedly imperfect. The women have nothing to feel guilty about, it's XANDER who should be shot and hung and quartered and tortured for all eternity. I'd find a sarcophagus and kill him and revive him only to kill him once again if I could. [And I'd find time in my busy schedule to fit Baltar in as well, because if ever a guy has needed killing, it's him]
And what's with his attitude towards Spike? I mean, firstly, Anya's a demon. So judging her for sleeping with a vampire? How is it not judging himself for sleeping with a demon, huh? And secondly, WTF is with him attacking Spike and being all, 'Look at how powerful and manly I am' when Spike is prevented from striking back, even to defend himself? That's so cowardly, Xander, you asshole. The man can't lift a finger to protect himself and you want to go beat him up? Niiice. Whose side are we supposed to be on again?
The thing is, messed up as Buffy and Spike are, I like their relationship. I hate how she treats him. It's not a healthy romance by any definition, but he acts like he genuinely cares and he risks his life for them on many occasions, just to be treated with scorn and disdain. Because he loves her. And even if her friends are jerks, because it matters to her, he'll help them out. God, none of them deserve him.

Finally, I just started watching Privileged, and OMG, MICHAEL CASSIDY!
I loved him on 4400, and now he's back! Sweet and lovable as ever! *squishes* I admit, I watch this show for the hot guys. I hate the main girl but the guys, there are so many handsome, charming, witty guys! They inexplicably fail with their bad taste in love interests because Megan is the definition of airbrain, but I put up with her antics for the guys. Also, the show has the cute little sister from Bionic Woman!
You can't give me a show with two stars from sci-fi and expect me to turn it down, even if it is a frivolous fluffy soap. :D
Omg, that ending.

Lucky you for having such a sweet grandmother... my friends at school said exactly this yesterday but they listened to my ramblings about the finale anyway... they always do- what choice do they have :^_^:D:D
no subject
But hee, I love that you ramble to them anyway. 'Who's the boss here? Shut up and listen.' :P
They must really care about you, lol.
no subject
But yes- they must really care about me if they let me ramble... I haven't thought about this until I read your post... sounds like I should give them one big hug as a reward for their patience... ^_^ Friendship is a good thing... :)
no subject
Hey, those hurt! But I get what you mean, lol.
And yeah, your friends deserve a reward for dealing with a rambling fangirl. :D Where can I get me some friends like that? Sadly, I have to go online to find people like you to flail with because nobody in RL understands. *sighs*
no subject
Well, people who understand take some time to be found... It took me more than 8 years to find the friends I have. It is not easy but you will find yours one day. Just don't give up searching ^_^
