gonzai | BSG 4:14 - Blood On The Scales

Um, yeah. They aren't kidding on the blood part. Mom doesn't care for BSG, but normally she ignores it. Today she walked out of the room. There was a particular point where I nearly did as well, even though I guessed (correctly) what was coming.

That would be the fate of the Quorum. As soon as they told Vice-President Zarek to wait outside, I was afraid he'd do just what he did. And it was sickening. So much so I nearly left the room myself.

I did manage to hang in until the end and resolution, which was quicker and less messy that I was afraid of, but it was also too easy. One exchange of weapons, one officer changes sides and suddenly we're all hunky-dory again? Uh, guys, you just had multiple massacres aboard ship and you've got to be seriously low on manpower. Face it, the fleet's pretty well frakked.

So post-ep, we went to dinner, tried PF Changs and learned the hard way, that place is packed. And then watched many sitcoms guest-starring Alan Tudyk because I really needed the happy stuff. Meep.
