"But what are your thoughts on rocks?"

moogingNumbered post time! This is the only way I can adequately convey a sense of order and meaning to a post which would otherwise just be disjointed and pointless. Hurrah?
1) That little box on the front page that tells you how long it's been since you last posted is mocking me, I swear to God. How has it been a month? That is impossible (well, er, except for the part where it has actually been a month but shhh logic).
2) I have now watched BSG season 3, after an inordinately long time of not doing so, and nnnnnngh, I really liked it. I actually prefered it to season 2: I am now a leper, I am aware of that. Here are some thoughts that turned out slightly longer than I was expecting:
LAURA WILL BE FINE. I am somewhat in denial.
Here are my Laura-hopes for season 4:
- she is perfectly healthy avec one big damn weepy scene, so that the television award people might actually pay some attention to Mary McDonnell
- she is a Super Cylon. If she were to be a cylon, I would want her to be a very important one. She is not plebian.
- MORE OF HER.
Also, I am torn between the desire to smack Lee upside the head for being a twat and quite liking him really. I think he did the right thing re: Baltar's trial, because someone on that ship needed to go 'hey, we can't shove him out the airlock just because we hate his greasy unwashed guts', but then, er, GET THE FRAK AWAY FOR LAURA.
Baltar's trial: I know he's guilty. They know he's guilty. But what evidence did they have, other than statements from people who weren't always with him and some underlying hatred because he's guilty? I understand that, y'know, HE'S GUILTY, but then, it is like he keeps insisting and it wasn't always his choice. He is a slimy nasty man though, and he does make bad choices, but I like him, I find him interesting, and I want him on my television. Also, anyone who can make Laura Roslin freak the very large hell out is welcome, as far as I'm concerned. More shouting Laura, yes!
On that line, is it just me, or was Laura, like, harsher than in previous seasons? I don't mean in the 'dude, way to harsh my buzz' way - nnngh, failure to express self here - but, er, I don't know, more direct? There was less 'I want to do this but I'm going to sugarcoat it a tad' and more 'KILL BALTAR, SNITS IN CIC, BILL SIT THE FRAK DOWN YOU STUPID STUPID MAN'. All of which I entirely approve ofbecause it's really really hot. More Laura in season 4, please.
Less Adama. Always less Adama. Take his face away. Although, I have to say that I really like the relationship between Adama and Roslin as portrayed, without actually liking or shipping Adama/Roslin, if that makes any sense?
Also over the course of season 3, I have come to realise that although I muchly like Ms. McDonnell of Awesome, it's mainly Laura Roslin that holds my affections. There's something about her that's just captivating, and powerful, and now I sound like a twonk, so I shall shut up and go over there.
When is season 4 around, does anybody know?

To conclude: LAURA ROSLIN = VERY VERY HOT. The end.
3) I've been spending some Christmas/birthday money recently. New acquisitions include BSG: Razor (which I have yet to see, so shhh your spoilers), Alias s3 and Labyrinth. I have somehow managed to exist for 17 years without seeing David Bowie as the Goblin King (awesomes!), and this must be hastily rectified.
4) ASHES TO ASHES. TOMORROW. GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENE.
- Happy Jack is better Jack. Flirt, Jack, flirt!
- BARROWMAN SHOULD KISS MOAR MENS.
- I like Jack/Ianto a lot more this season, mainly because I like Ianto a lot more this season: more snark, less emo is a winning combination. Also: hott kissingz will do a lot to win me over.
- I still want to smack Gwen in her whiny petulant face. We get it: you're emotional. STOP TELLING US HOW YOU EMPATHIZE WITH PEOPLE/EMOTIONS/WALLS AND FUCK OFF. And she treats Rhys as someone to settle for rather than aim for, which is poo, because he is the most lovely man. He cooks. He accepts her stupid whiny temper tantrums and Secret Biznizing work. He's loooovely. Of course, this is where he is revealed to be a bastard tonight (please let this not be the case) and I am wrong forever.

6) I've just finished reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman, and I feel completely justified in telling you all to GO AND READ IT NOW and begging those of you that have read it to say things about it to me. Must converse about shiny book. I heart Wednesday. Do you heart Wednesday?
7) I'm tired and I hurt and I feel sick, so my diet has consisted of sandwiches and other bland food products for about two weeks now, but I am damn well going to eat some Ben and Jerry's Half Baked, and I don't know whether I should watch Razor, Labyrinth or some Alias with it.
