Ok, I don't care if it's totally unrealistic, the return of Lee's physique has made me happier than anything else this season. OMG the abs, the ABS!!!! I'm sure Jamie was pretty happy to get out of the fat suit as well, but not nearly as happy as I was to see him out of it.

Loved Apollo back in CAG status and Starbuck and Tigh's continued downward spiral. When Adama gave them both an ultimatum I was happy to see Kara actually start to wake up a little, though sad to see Tigh continuing down. I just don't see how that character can survive his guilt, and for a second when he picked up the revolver I really thought he was going to take himself out. Poor Saul, he's going to be looking for a way to kill himself in the days to come, but preferably one that allows him to take out a few Cylons along the way.

I'm guessing Helo is going to stay on in Tigh's position and maybe Gaeta will be bumped up a bit (he's certainly trying to get back into everyone's good graces), but where is Dee? She seems to have completely disappeared.

It was a good, somewhat productive weekend. I never get quite as much done as I hope to, but I did a lot more than I'd really expected to so that's good. My one big crafting project is underway, finally. Got some books taken to BookBuyers and got a fair amount in cash and trade for them. Got several story segments posted and so far mostly rave reviews for Scale of Dragon, Tooth of Wolf. One reader even claims to be an "addict", and another thanked me for posting it in pieces so she'd remember to do things like feed her kids and cats. What better praise could a fanfic author hope for? Still one part in chapter 4 to post tonight and then on to chapter 5, which means I should really finish up the damn end notes. Between that and the final edits moonlightnrain just sent me I think tonight's going to be well spoken for. Hopefully I can get back to crafting tomorrow. Hopefully.

I think for me it's pressing a big red button about how male writers tend to think female characters are going to act in a situation. If there's one thing I have learned to expect from Kara over the past couple of seasons it's that she very rarely acts like the typical female character. It's something I relate to deeply and fully, and to have the writers betray that made me want to howl with fury.

Maybe it's the part of me that's worked hard for two years to lose a stone that's ticked off at the writers. ;) But the one is pure laziness, the extreme form of Deus ex machina and the other is... hmm, can we agree on not very well thought out characterization?
