152 insights into my soul

"Simon and Garfunkel" doing The Sound of Cylons: (Yeah, this is almost a week old, but you know what they say, if I haven't see it its new to me!)



I thought this was neat, "The Greatest Car Chase Ever":



I still keep meaning to watch Skins, but my sources tell me the mad cute Hannah Murray and hottie nymphet Kaya Scodelario are reprising their roles for their own eps in the final season. The word on the street is that Naomily return as well.

TV commentary:

Hawaii Five-O- I may have said this in my last H5O post and completely forgot afterward, but I noticed McGarret's gf is a regular now. Which is good, because the show could use more hot chyx, Boomer is outnumbered 4 to 1! Oh, it was nice to see Arielle Kebbel there in the beginning.

TV commentary:

Being Human- Ha, when did Jacob from Lost get typecast as playing figments of people's imagination? Its amusing that Friday he came back as Sam's ChipLucifer (speaking of BSG, I'm amused that ChipSix never actually ended up being caused by a secret chip implanted in Baltar's head) and on this past Being Human, he was Aiden's ChipBishop.

Lost Girl- Honestly, Kenzi brought it on herself. I mean, who randomly just eats something lying around in a stranger's house without their permission? It could be poison, or some freak science experiment that only looks like food! And she knew she was going to the home of a Fae, and she knows the can be all creepy, so that would've been even more reason to not touch anything there.

Plus, the lady was cooking that soup the night before, and then she went to sleep and got sick. I figured they called in Doc lady hours later, and wouldn't she have turned off the burners by then (otherwise that would be a huge fire hazard!). And as such that would've been cold soup, and ew, who eats cold soup?!

NCIS- What's with the celebrity love interests being brought on these crime procedurals as of late? I mean, first Harry Connick Jr for Liv on SVU? Now Jamie Lee Curtis on NCIS?

Glee- I know what you're thinking, isn't he ever going to shut up about Rachel and Quinn already? ( So, here's a cut. )

Here's how much of an idiot I am when it comes to music. So, for the longest time, I only knew Death Cab for Cutie as that group Seth Cohen would babble about on the OC. Even worse, when people first started talking about the Cab, I thought people were going for the brevity thing and that was just some shortened way of saying that group's name, as opposed to it being a different group altogether.

Speaking of Death Cab for Cutie, "I Will Possess Your Heart" comes out as DLC tomorrow. Which I was thinking would be kinda boring for someone doing vocals since they don't get to sing until like three or four minutes in or something and its not like there's all that much to sing when you finally do (just a lot of the same). Although my sources tell me the DLC version is neither the full 8 minute album version nor the way shorter radio edit, but a special 5 and 1/2 minute version for the game.

Anyways, last night tried out the new "Exodus" expansion for BSG with the usual suspects. I thought it was a fun addition. I mean, there are new loyalty cards introduced, so in addition to cylon, not a cylon, cylon sympathizer, you can be "not a cylon" and have an agenda much like you would if you were playing one of the cylon leaders. You have to complete some task or get some event to happen or else lose some resource if its the end of the game and you have not completed it. There's also "Final Five" you are not a cylon cards, which can totally eff you up if you do something to look at a person's random loyalty cards, because they cause you to get executed or thrown in the brig or other nasty things if they are viewed.

But the new characters they added are Tory, Anders, Gaeta, and Cally. I tried Cally out, she's kinda amusing, since her once a game power is to execute someone in the same location as her (which I did get to use!), and you know how much I like getting to kill things in games. Though I didn't think her inability to play just 1 card (she has to play 2 or more, or none at all, though she doesn't have that caveat in the brig) during skill checks would be as big a pain in the ass as it was. Huh, I'm trying to think if all the major characters are playable now. At the very least, with the addition of Anders, all the Final Five are in the game.

We didn't play with Allies, but it looks a lot of the other major recurring characters were available as those, including my faves Seelix and Racetrack. But you also have that Kelly dude and Hoshi, Aussie Razor chick, Crashdown, Hot Dog, Cottle, Billy, Elosha, Romo Lampkin (still such an awesome name), De'anna, Simon, and Doral. Huh, I guess with the latter 3, that's all the cylons in the game?

There's also some complex ion cloud addition which we didn't play with as people said online that it sucked, but we did play with the cylon pursuit board.

But yeah, what else this weekend? Like I said, tried BSG last night, went to the gun range earlier that afternoon. Saturday night had dinner with the ex-roomie, psyched_out and his family (hadn't seen S+S and their kids in a while) at the Bone Garden before heading to zarathrustra94 and turdburgler's for elf slaying (though no actual elves were slain). And as I mentioned a couple posts ago, saw "Take Me Home Tonight" that afternoon, so it was actually a somewhat full weekend.

Hmm, season 1.5 of Caprica looks like it might be cool. Particularly with Tamara Adama and Zoe Graystone being all kick-ass in that "GTA/Matrix" place (which while the whole "deadwalker" thing is cool, I have to call shenanigans on, its like Adama's big sister was one of the forerunners of the Cylon movement?) Plus mob wars and the Soldiers of the One upping their game (and having philosphical disagreements amongst themselves), its like how many people will be fighting each other in January?!

Say what you will about original Egg, she does do some nice photo shoots. And can sure suck on a larley pop real good. qv('Alright!')

TV Commentary:

SVU- Ah, I thought so! ( spoiler cut )

Caprica- Should I switch the tag on these posts to Caprica instead of leaving it BSG? ( spoiler cut )

Okay, this is actually pretty cool:



Heh, when clevemire saw Annie Wersching in the commercials for this season of 24 and then looked her up, he felt they pulled a switcheroo. Ida know, I think Warming Glow had some good pics of her today. I didn't realize she was that stacked, it isn't really evident on 24.

TV commentary:

White Collar- So its the season finale. ( spoiler cut )

90210- I can't believe I've been enjoying this way more than Gossip Girl this season. ( spoiler cut )

TV Commentary:

Vampire Diaries- Okay, caught up to the latest episode. ( spoiler cut )

Smallville- ( spoiler cut )

Caprica- Interesting developments this ep! Finally, this show is getting egg-citing! ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Supernatural- ( spoiler cut )

Smallville- Interesting, this ep was touted as the 2-hour ep featuring the former Justice Society, but what they don't mention is it also features Checkmate. So, of course, that also means Amanda Waller and Suicide Squad. ( Read more... )

Caprica- Wow, things aren't getting better for the Greystones. ( spoiler cut )

Sporcle Quizzes:

Superhero Surnames- I only missed three- Swamp Thing's, because who the hell would know that, I didn't actually know Wonder Woman's (I kept thinking her last name was Troy, but that's Donna Troy from the Teen Titans), and for the life of me could not remember Iceman's.

Name the 12 Humanoid Cylon models- WTF, I did not actually get all of these! Well, the first thing that messed me up was that the number 7 model was a bonus one, and not one of the 12. I was like, "Wait, there are 12 models", but forgot that it was the final five and the original eight, but only 12 of them were on the show (oops, spoiler!). Amusingly enough, the nobody ones (4 and 5) came more easily to me than the obvious ones like 2. Like I struggled to remember his name and the first name of the white chick final fiver! In the end, I missed two, because I couldn't remember Xena's name (I kept thinking Diana? Deena? So close!) and totally forgot about the one male final fiver who didn't start out with the fleet. Still, embarassing! I can name random pilots and deckhands and wot-not, but can't remember actual main characters?!

Saw The Hangover today then had dinner at Roaster's with the usual suspects. The Hangover was pretty hilarious, definitely a funny movie.

After dinner, finally saw the Caprica movie. I'm guessing the version that Sci Fi will eventually show will be cut/censored, given that it starts with an orgy of sex and violence. No, not figuratively, a literal orgy, with breasts and bare ass all over the place. spcv('Nice!') So that's what Caprican kids did for fun back in the day! How tawdry, salacious, and altogether lascivious. ( spoiler cut )
