B5 thoughts

So I finally got a chance to watch two more episodes of B5 (S1, episodes 3 and 4). Four thoughts:

- Oh, Susan. She really is the universe's punching bag, isn't she?

(In regards to that, I was listening to Gorecki's Symphony No. 3, and despite the fact that the material's Polish and she's Russian, I feel like there should be Ivanova fic that in some manner incorporates the second movement. I don't know exactly how that would work, but I think it should be done.)

- One of the girls in C&C is a dead ringer for Jayne Torvill. I keep expecting her to speak in an English accent.

- Jerry Doyle isn't doing too bad of an impersonation of eighties-era Bruce Willis either.

- cybermathwitch, I really started to notice what we were talking about in regards to the stagey blocking and camerawork of this show with episode four. It's irritating. Almost as irritating as everyone-but-Claudia Christian's bad acting. (Richard Biggs isn't too bad either, I suppose. But oh, Michael O'Hare. Ow. It's like watching Shatner.)

BSG 4.19: "Someone to Watch Over Me"

( Spoilers )

Doooooooooooom

Whoa. My Victorian Lit prof wasn't kidding when she said The Odd Women as more depressing than anything we'd yet read. Four people die in the first ten pages. As of twenty-five pages in, it doesn't look good for a fifth.

Kind of reminds me of watching BSG, actually...
