Woe Upon Your Cylon Heart!

So I took it upon myself to enlighten Tess as to how wonderful Maryann is on True Blood, mostly because I am a Michelle Forbes fangirl and Tess is pretty good at fangirling with me.

Me: nicole_anell once said she wished Maryann had been the admiral of the Pegasus
Tess: LOL!
Me: and it would've been a different voyage for sure
Tess: they'd have been out of snacks way before they met Lee, though :-P
Me: absolutely
Me: more orgies.
Tess: LOL
Tess: and they thought Galactica was a party ship :-P
Me: ain't no party like a maryann party cause a maryann party is mandatory
Tess: LOL!
Me: although, LOL
Me: she would've bitchslapped Belzen
Tess: LOL!
Tess: nobody needed vipers

So, I'm one of the biggest Admiral Helena Cain fans... ever. I can fully admit that my affinity for her borders on obscene, because it is really hard to love a character so much who does something so horrible to someone she loved and that you loved, but whatever. I LOVE AHC.

But also? I love Michelle Forbes. In this awesome interview, she is totally brilliant and well-spoken and well-read and I REALLY LIKE HER. And the things she says about AHC! And about Gina!

Do you think finding out that Gina was a Cylon was what pushed her over the edge?

It was a massive betrayal. This woman is rarely vulnerable with anyone. She doesn’t allow herself that. For her to have taken that step [and become Gina’s lover] and been so ultimately betrayed, it did her head in, it did her heart in.

She became very misguided at that time. I feel the actions that she took in that misguided place still were along the lines of what she felt she needed to do. And there’s nothing that she did that some world leader has not done.

It’s very painful, what she did to Gina. There was such a deep sadness, but [for her] duty overrides that sadness, otherwise things don’t get done. There’s a lot of sorrow [in Cain]. It was not a punishment as much of a means to an end.

WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN. How can I handle this? By rereading their fics and crying at the injustice of the world.

- So, guess who's sick of the cold weather? Thissss moi. Totally over it.

- I've readjusted my schedule COMPLETELY today. Drop/Add ends at 11:59 PM, and I'm fairly nauseous with the idea of going to brand new classes an entire week late (but, technically, not absent, because it was still drop/add! In order to get the math class I need to graduate I had to drop the history class I really really like and get another one.

- Toying with the idea of taking out a loan to study abroad, an idea that makes me physically ill (the loan, not the studying abroad bit.)

- My Quebec class seems awesome at least.

- I watched Razor again last night, because I am quite possibly the only person who enjoys watching it, and it seemed like an appropriate chaser to 'The Plan.' SO MANY THINKY THOUGHTS OF AWESOMENESS. I don't I need to state again just how much I love Tricia Helfer (who hung the moon, if you didn't know,) but OMG MICHELLE FORBES. Michelle Forbes, how do you do it. That show is full of people who can act without speaking, but the way that the intensity and depth of Gina and AHC's entire relationship is conveyed in a smile, arm grab and cheek kiss? That sound you hear is my mind blowing. I get these stupid flappy hands of shippiness at how cute and sweet they are. WHICH IS UNFORTUNATE, SEEING WHAT GOES DOWN. (Also, as a side bar, Michelle Forbes looks amazingly beautiful without the severe bangs. I love her always [I know. Shut up] but with her hair like that? Gooorge.)

- The person who made my BSG calendar is like, the biggest Kara/Samders shipper ever. The first month has them, and then there are a bunch of little pics of them scattered throughout. Conversely, there is one Gaius/Red, and no Papadama/Lauroslin. There is a depressing lack of Ellen, and a really unnecessary amount of Eight-age.

- I wish I could think of some porn to write for bsg_pornbattle BUT I KEEP COMING UP WITH FEELINGS INSTEAD. Not even like, the pseudo porn I wrote last time. The Gina fic I started went straight to feelings. The Gaius/Red fic? Feelings. The Six/Laura fic? PLOT. WHAT THE HELL, I DON'T WANT A PLOT AT ALL. So, yes, I have a few hours to stop failing.

- I haven't worked in six days. I am going bonkers.

Dear Michelle Forbes,

Please stop being adorable, and a wonderful actress. You make it very hard for me not to watch things you're in. Especially when youtube has many clips of you being fun.

I REALLY DON'T WANT TO WATCH TRUE BLOOD. NO BUT SERIOUSLY I REALLY DON'T.

(But you look so fantastically loony! And wicked! AND AWESOME. WHY SO AWESOME?)

In conclusion, please do something awesome elsewhere. Preferably in another BSG movie about Admiral Helena Cain, wherein she stays amazing.

Love,
Me

I somehow managed to misplace season three? I know I packed it, so I'm assuming it's in Miguel's trunk or at my apartment, but I am really annoyed, because I wanted to finish it before going on to season four, which is what I have.

So now I'm watching Razor, and despite my better judgment, I am totally digging Admiral Helena Cain. She's so hardcore! Also, well-known fact about me: I can't hate someone to save my life. I suck. So she's being all awesome and shit and I keep thinking "but she hurts Gina! Be strong, Madi!" and instead I'm just like oh my god she just slapped Kendra Shaw! OMG she just jumped blind! OMG AHC FTW!
