Heya. I followed you here from grav_ity's incessant chatter about how you guys lived and breathed BSG together. Your episode recaps are really enjoyable to read. Entertaining, even-- the stiletto line had me in stitches. ;-)
I just wanted to say that while I'm not a live and breath die-hard Roslin/Adama shipper, neither does the ship really bother me. I honestly feel I can say with a fair amount of credibility that my perspective of the ship is pretty objective, and while I definitely recognized the beats of "Oh my love!Angst" with Roslin's part of this ep, I didn't get the feeling that they were affecting her in such a way that she would have done anything she wouldn't have done without the romance element. I think that Roslin was just plain furious. After all, the relationship between her and Zarek has its own history. My perception of her actions was just Roslin doing her Roslin thing. I don't know if that makes you feel better, but I thought I'd put it out there. ;-)
My particularly rabid fangirl tendencies in this fandom tend almost exclusively toward Anders, the Agathons, and Bear McCreary, with honorable secondary but-not-quite-as intense love for Chief and Tigh, so I suppose in some way that accounts for my 'detachment.'
That being said:
- NO! NOT SAM! I DEMAND THAT YOU SURVIVE!
*wimpers* I'm over here hyperventilating with concern, myself. I can't believe we have to wait a week. Although, the fact that is still open-ended suggests that, even if they do off him, he'll at least get a good dose of focus.
