Finally watched BSG 2.16 (Sacrifice) today, which I had been putting off, because WAH.

I had vague knowledge from slightly spoilery things that I had seen/heard about the big thing that happened in this episode. And I am going to keep watching, of course, now that I have made it over the DO NOT WANT hump, but . . . Billy-less BSG is so much less appealing. :( He's an idealistic civilian teddy bear! Civilian possibly being the crucial part in there. I am a civilian. I miss civilians in the midst of all the bad-assery. Dammit, Billy!

. . . and if he turns out to be a Cylon, don't tell me.

(Also, I am sure people will disagree with me here, but who picks Lee Adama over Billy? Seriously. I mean, not that I have anything against Lee at all, but . . . Billy hugs you and bumbles endearingly with bursts of awesome civilian competence. Lee Adama ejaculates manpain from his stomach.)

((Also also, and this will be relevant to like one person on my flist who comes from both the Wasteland-playing group and the BSG-watching group, but I also realized during this episode that Billy = Preston. He's Roslin's beta! And then Roslin goes off to flirt with Pack Leader Adama and Billy is like, "come on, guys, civil rights, democracy, IDEALISM!!" and Roslin is like "Yeah, that's sweet. Wait, when did you actually grow a backbone?"))

I would pick Billy over Lee in an INSTANT.

MANPAIN FROM HIS STOMACH.

Also, Billy . . . has a brain. And common sense.

(Although, 'fess up, you'd love having Adama for a father-in-law.)

[agonistes]

Oh, I totally would! And I confess this openly!

I just...could not put up with Lee in order to do it.

[skygiants]

Maybe you could kill him off sneakily on the wedding night! It is a proven fact that your chances of bonding with Adama are doubled if you are responsible for the death of one of his sons.

[agonistes]

SO TRUE. And then he gives you a cigar!

[skygiants]

Not at all Freudianically, even!

[sophistry]

I miss Billy. :( I mean, yes, Lee Adama's Washboard is very nice, but I mean. Talk about top of the list of people I would never want to be in a relationship with ever.

[skygiants]

SRSLY. Especially after That Episode We Do Not Mention, my god.

(Also, I only ever noticed in this episode how Billy towers over Lee heightwise. It makes me giggle in the midst of my sorrow.)

I would TOTES be in a relationship with Adama . . .

Sr.

[sophistry]

I concur. I wish I could call Adama and have him snark me out of bed in the morning.

[agonistes]

You just made me squeal like a girl.

HATE. HATE.

[skygiants]

. . . I am not saying I would not be, either. >.>

However: not sure I could take being the AdamaMama.

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

Dude, I would kick ass at it! I have "quiet support" "bitter cynicism" "furtive ideals" and "ambivalence towards Adama Jr." down already!

[skygiants]

. . . . you speak truth! You would kick ass at it. Also, I bet you would manage not to break his Glasses of Significance (whereas I would constantly be sitting on them, which lets me tragically out of the running).

*starts making 'Ji for AdamaMama' banners for local fundraisers and rallies*

If he ever wants a mail order bride from another world, man . . .

Billy was much cooler than Lee.

Also, I saw "Sacrifice" last night, so we are exactly in the same place. Yay for someone flailing about the same episode I am flailing about, at the same time.

*jointflails!*

Dude, if I do come down this weekend, maybe there will actually be a chance to watch an episode of BSG with somebody else! :O

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

That would be awesome. You'd better come down. :D
