bsg season four (pre-finale)

I stopped at last week's episode, and I'll watch all of Daybreak in one go on Friday, though I've been spoiled for it. Watching this season was very different—so clearly endgame, and so much less filler, but so many big plot points that seemed either poorly executed or beside the point.

( 4.11-4.14 )

( 4.15-4.18 )

( a note on Lee and Kara )

I'm looking forward to Friday, partly because I'll be glad when the show just gets to where its going—killing everyone off in a huge ball of fire, or an indeterminate ending where they leave the Gallactica behind and move on through space, or something in between. All endings seem equally likely at this point; I have no issues that I expect the finale to resolve, or even give lip service to. Expectation-free!

they almost did it that time!

So the group sing wasn't as cracktastic as I'd like, and with such a boy-heavy season having them all sing in unison lessens the effect I'm looking for, which is basically Brady Bunch Variety Show. I skipped the Carrie-Randy Travis bit because I didn't think the song was very good. Also, and I never say this, but Brad Paisley looked better sans the lame goatee.

I of course approve of Ryan trying to soak Simon with a water balloon, but he should know that he can't throw well enough to pull that off. I did love Simon muttering "answer the question" over and over while Paula was trying to evade saying who she thought was in the bottom two—though it was a trick question, because they both were. However, Simon refusing to change his mind about Adam was pretty awesome.

Also, note that you can dislike an individual gay artist without being homophobic. Just sayin'.
