Yeah, I think she had the longer hair too, but it's too cool an idea to throw away on hair, dammit! So I'm going to assume that maybe Gina actually cut her hair before her mission or something? I mean this looked like it was on the same plane as the Boomer flashbacks from Daybreak which would be several years before the attacks (and also tallies with the slim prop evidence; a Gina costume sold and described as being used in a scene with Boomer in Daybreak). We know that Athena's hair grew while she was in the brig, for instance, and then she cut it shorter again later. Could it simply be that since Gina's hair was basically Tricia's natural hair, if Tricia's hair was longer at the time of filming they just went with it? After all it was tied back and we've never seen any other Six tie back their hair either. /Obsessive Hair Detectivery!
Love dooming the Cylon plan and the lack of love dooming poor Liam are both products of Jane Espenson.
WHUT LIAM IS STILL ALIVE! *sticks fingers in ears and starts singing*
Ahem. :p
But yeah, I see your point. Then again, I also feel kind of sorry for her since she essentially had to write a script with no plot, and while perhaps she took it to extremes in Deadlock, "magic love" was kind of entrenched in the cylon mythology since Hera showed up all magically conceived and stuff. *waves hands aroung vaguely* I have no idea what I'm even saying at this point...
As to Gianna, I understand your ambivalence because I share it, though I also kind of resent it. I like the character and the storyline and think the actress did an okay job, and yet because I have some issues with the way EJO has presented himself in interviews, etc., it becomes this fourth-wall-breaking distraction where I'm constantly thinking...is this just cus she's his wife?
I THOUGHT THE EXACT SAME THING!
YAY! I'm not crazy! Boxey could also have been a way in which we find out about how Boomer is cracking up. Hell, Cavil could start having BOXEY smuggling the elephant or something. And Boxey starting to feel more and more resented and unloved as Boomer and Chief both lose it and break up an stuff. Or something.
But yeah, John's murder...I actually like the way it was shot - it was understated. But I don't feel I cared as much as I should. It was shocking in one way but not another. I think [Bad username or site: selenak</i @ livejournal.com] offers an interesting interpretation, but I also like nicole_anell's below because it doesn't require me to be quite so "shocked" by it since the ultimate emotional message of that interpretation is futility. Or something. But still. I would have liked to care more.
I didn't think about how Kara being half Cylon helped her connect with the raider. ;) WHY DID YOU BLOW SUCH AN AWESOME OPPORTUNITY, RON! :(
SUCH A PERFECT RETCON, PEOPLE! Though to be honest, I mostly only noticed it as a cylony-type thing when I was making that vidlet about Scar/Kara/Sam so I had vidding!help.
Again, I AM SO CONFUSED!
I would try to help, but I might only make it worse... ;) Though I'm pretty sure it must have been all of Leoben's line since some deleted scenes end up proving that not every copy of Leoben Kara spoke to about destiny and stuff was the same one. Another deleted scenes that references memory sharing suggested to me that the Leoben's might share all their memories with each other by default. But that's another thing I guess we'll never get more on. :( Poor lost Leoben.
but I swear a male and female pilot were standing inches from each other and close to having parts bumping.
I swear I saw a male and female pilot standing close together and the woman was plucking the man's eyebrows. Now, I'm not saying maybe he didn't wanna get those things under control, but they have MIRRORS RIGHT THERE. Do it your damn self, sir!
As to EJO directing his wife in graphic sex scenes, I'm sorry, whut? I APPEAR TO HAVE BLEACHED THAT FROM MY BRAIN.
