Galactica Trail

[sunshine_queen]

So, Hannah returns on AIM from taking a shower, and we’re talking about how awesome being clean is, which led to the awesome discussion EVER.



Me: missa and i have been talking about bsg and the people who survived and i always bring up how production of things just... stopped. like, you brought one tube of toothpaste? THERE YOU HAVE IT.
Me: two bottles of shampoo? APRES, C'EST FINI
Hannah: Godddd
Hannah: That sucks
Me: it does!
Me: melissa is like, i wouldn't want to live
Hannah: I would be hard-pressed to find a good reason to carry on
Me: seriously. forget this "survival of the human species" deal.
Me: we suck as a whole
Me: (the people who survived on bsg suck in particular. it's like, the lamest 50000 on the twelve worlds survived.)
Hannah: LMAO
Hannah: I seriously...like.
Hannah: honestly, I don't think I would care that much after a certain point
Hannah: I mean, how great are things going to be once we get to an inhabitable planet?
Me: i can answer that: things are going to suck.
Me: it's going to be like the oregon effing trail
Me: today
Me: as if we undertook it today
Me: knowing what we're missing
Me: like indoor plumbing
Me: modern medicine
Me: air conditioning/heat.
Hannah: Laura Roslin just died of snakebite
Hannah: and we lost like a whole thing of cured ham.
Hannah: Life sucks.
Me: LOL!!!!!
Me: crew of galactica has dysentery. stop and rest?
Hannah: LOLOL.
Me: MEAGER RATIONS.
Hannah: omg, i sort of want someone to do a mockup of one of the tombstones for Lauroslin
Me: GRUELING PACE
Me: LOL, this is a hilarious idea entirely.
Hannah: Galactica Trail
Hannah: Lee Adama just got killed by Cylon raider.
Hannah: galactica running low on fuel. stop and refuel?
Hannah: galactica just overcome by cylons.
Me: Admiral Adama wants to trade.
Hannah: all dead.
Hannah: THE END.
Me: Galactica comes to a nebula. Do you:
Wait for nebula to disperse?
Forge nebula?
Take ferry?
Hannah: LMAO
Hannah: Take ferry is still an option!
Hannah: WIN.
Me: hell yes it is
[...]
Hannah: Oh Godddd, fat Lee
Hannah: don't you know all the civilians were like, "MEAGER RATIONS, MY ASS"

I think you're some sort of BSG angel, because you are like THISCLOSE to convincing me it wouldn't literally kill me to rewatch it.

Screw you, Madeline. (You might want to have DVDs or episodes on hand if I get to come see you this Christmas. Just saying. And why no, this isn't way too early to suggest this. Why would you think that?)

UM MAYBE YOU SHOULD COME LIKE SOONER BECAUSE I TOTALLY WANT YOU TO GIVE IN.

You know what would be sort of beyond win?

If I could somehow manage a summer vacation one year. Like, if we could somehow magically sync up schedules and shit so I could come and go to the beach in the summer and whatever.

That would be aces.

Make it happen, Dahlem.

[yubsie]

THAT IS MADE OF WIN!

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

It is!

I'm not reading the conversation because I'm not done with BSG yet, but let me just say that Fat Lee is one of the greatest thing to ever happen. Jamie Bamber didn't ACTUALLY gain all that weight, right? Because that would be redonk.

Yeah, I said redonk.

Oh, don't be scared! There aren't any spoilers, just us being doofuses.

Bamber totally didn't gain that weight. He used a body double for some parts, and then like, padding and prostheses. He may be dedicated but he's not crazy.
