I understand what you're saying. I don't want to excuse THE MAN just because I don't want to read against the text to make it okay again. (I have the entirety of Star Wars canon for that). I don't...I don't know. I'm so desperate not to be disappointed with this show. And so frustrated that we have like, six episodes left and now is when it starts to worry me? It's...unfair.
And all her actions could have been the same and just shot differently and it would have made such a difference. Like instead of teary-eyedness if we'd gotten steely "next crisis," resolve.
Your episode synopsis is hilarious and not entirely inaccurate. I think I was largely unwounded by the dueling cocks just because the entire mutiny was about boys and I already knew that, and I was already less invested than I wanted to be in it just because the main characters it was about (Adama, Zarek, Gaeta) are not that interesting to me. But two of them are dead now!
I would have been okay with the dueling cocks of mutiny if Laura hadn't had to get involved while seemingly capitulating to them. That's basically my issue with the episode more than the fact that the boring boys got a lot of play.
Anyway, thanks for your moral support. *flails*
I MISS YOU ON IM, but do support the notion of actually leaving the house once in a while. Which I haven't done yet today and now it's ten past ten. Say hello to the world for me!
