Amidst my shame for having had ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ivy03's DVDs forever, I started to watch the second season of Supernatural, so far to greater success than my trip through the first one. I maintain that the ending of the first season was damn funny, yet I was still pulled into the drama of the season opener that built on it. Well done, show. It helps to conference with viridian about these things, too.
( Ah, girls. )
Through completely legal means (I swear I live in Canada), I have seen BSG 4.08 "Sina Qua Non," which will air in this country on Friday. My reactions are basically "Um?" Most of the episodes this season have had a profound "WTF!?!" level to them, usually because they startle me with the awesome or at least the harshness. I have disliked a lot of developments--( (spoilers) )--but on the whole, I've swallowed my objections in the name of the great things that would happen immediately after. Yay show!
But this? This is not happening. I'm fairly sure that everything that happens in this episode is going to be revealed as an alternate universe episode or something. Every bad fanfic decision that could be made about any character, any development is made. And, godsdamnit, ( ARGH, SPOILER ) Worse, ( The spoiler that makes TV want to die. )
What puzzles me is that awards for which BSG wanted to be nominated all picked performances out of this one. I didn't see too many overtly fabulous performances other than the one put in by Lee Adama's hair. Dude looks like he walked off the set of a Pantene commercial where his fluffy, shiny, sleek hair got expertly blown around. What the F? Remember your stupid faux-hawk in the miniseries, Lee? I won't forget that now that you seem to have discovered conditioner. I WON'T.
