Occupation & Precipice

darcydodoI finally watched the season 3 premiere of BSG, just in time to not see tonight's new episode, because I don't know anyone in Berkeley who watches it. Well, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wageslave and David watch it, but wageslave was going over to Elias' to watch it, and Elias gets it an hour earlier than anywhere else on the west coast, unfortunately. So I'm relegated to waiting until it's available online. *is impatient*
While I wait forsome kind soul who maybe watched it three hours ago on the east coast to upload it to the internets the bittorrent to download Friday the 13th to be over so that maybe I'll actually have some success at obtaining a copy of the frakking episode, I shall ponder the premiere, which americanbeetles and I watched projected onto a large screen in all its awesomeness. Oh yes, it was lovely to behold. :)
I can't watch fat!Lee. Oh my god, it's too disturbing. But it also is so appropriate for his character, which was going all mopey at the end of last season.
The viper pilots have clearly gone to seed without Kara. Kat just isn't cut out to be CAG, not yet, not when she was barely out of being a nugget herself.
Kasey (Casey?) confuses me, given her apparent age. I mean, that kid, apart from not talking, looks like she's maybe three or so. Now, Kasey, assuming she's really Kara's child, was conceived after Hera, because Boomer was already pregnant when she and Helo encountered Kara back on Caprica, and it wasn't until after that that Kara got taken to the farm. And Kasey wasn't created until even after that. Hera was born way premature, and that was not long before they found New Caprica. We'll call it a couple of months to be really generous. Well, they've only been on New Caprica for a year and four months. Four months ago, Hera still looked very much a baby, and couldn't have gotten nearly as old-looking as Kasey in the intervening time. So what the fuck? I don't think I'm saying that I think Kasey isn't Kara's kid, because we know they took her ovaries, and Leoben never exactly lies, he just twists the truth. But something's wrong. I hope it's not just a discrepancy.
The Six/Baltar interaction helped convince me of something. Phantom!Six makes Baltar more cylon, and Phantom!Baltar makes Six more human. Interestingly, the phantoms don't show up when their real counterpart is present. But real!Caprica!Six was in the process of keeping Baltar from signing (as well as from being killed), while phantom!Six, while still keeping Baltar from being killed, forced him to sign. Admittedly, without being corporeal she really had no other choice, but I think there is a definite crossing of boundaries that is urged by each phantom counterpart.
I don't suppose anyone miraculously has an invite to demonoid, which just successfully failed to work for me three times in a row so that now I can't use it?
ETA: And indeed, now that it is no longer Friday the 13th, there are suddenly and miraculously other sources for downloading!
