BSG 2.08 and Veronica Mars
Sep. 11th, 2005 04:46 pmDriving back to Munich from Bamberg, I promptly got into a traffic jam. Which drains energy in a major way. Still, quick reviews, for I have seen both BSG 2.08 and Veronica Mars until episode 15, the later only in parts because it's damaged. It's also the last VM episode I have, so I must pump ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
monanotlisa for more again.
But, Final Cut, aka BSG 2.08. first, for it had Lucy Lawless. Having rewatched the third season of Xena some months ago, I was hit again by what an underappreciated actress she is, so it was good to see her get some work.
( Hold the Press! )
Regarding the progress of my Mars-a-thon (thanks, Joss): I continue to like Veronica most, then Wallace. Keith Mars is a bit too much the ideal father to me - not that I dislike him, but where are the flaws? The parental screwups? The occasional confusion of "what's best for my daughter" with "what feels best for my daughter continuing to love me best?" He somehow magically avoids all these traps. (His absent wife, otoh, does one of these annoying "in time, you'll understand, though I cannot trust you to be an intelligent being and tell you my good reasons now as the show would then be other" things that I basically just take from SpyMommy.) Give my Adama Senior with his very real affection for Lee and his very real lack of understanding of some crucial elements in his son. Give me Uncle Arvin and his struggle between selfishness, faith and real affection. They feel real, and more interesting.
