heading straight for a fall

[ekaterinn]

I am currently running around like a chicken with its head cut off, yelling, "I can't decide what to do with my life!" I was supposed to spend this morning looking at PhD programs in English. Instead, I spent thirty minutes on University of Ottawa's website, looking at their human and molecular genetics program. Yesterday I looked up law programs that specialize in Bioethics. Then I considered travel writing.

Somebody, shoot my brain. Please.

Fannishly, though, I'm loving SGA and BSG:


"This is not how you make new friends!" is so my new battle cry. I heart John so much. And Rodney kicked ass too, though I was yelling at him "Pretend to fix it to buy time!" for half the episode. Who knew scientific integrity could be so stupid? And Weir was pretty awesome too. Though I guess Miriam gotten eaten by the Wraith after all, as I think she would have still been in the same building as the evil politician dude. Would be also nice if they tied up couple of the loose ends, but on the whole I liked this episode very much.

However, Battlestar Galactia continues to be the most well-written show I've seen since certain seasons of B-5. Loved, loved Starbuck in this episode. She's one tough cookie. The split in the fleet, with 24 ships following Roslin was also neat, though the geneticist in me kept screaming "you're going to have no viable gene pool at all, you fools!" now that there are two fleets, one with about 16,000 people and the other with 31,000 (not counting the eight remaining Cylons, who may also be split up now).


Going to look up grad programs in English now. I promise.

But you're off on your estimate of the fleet sizes; according to the opening credits, there are 47,000 and change survivors, so your numbers need to be adjusted up by a power of ten.

Miriam could have been in a holding cell (she was being arrested when we last saw her) so the Wraith may not have got her after all!

I felt kind of sad for the politician -- he struck me as being in the same position as the leaders in the Warsaw ghetto, bargaining to keep as many of his people alive for as long as he could, by selling out some of them.

Wow! Okay, I was cruising friendslists through various and sundry links stemming from recommendations of scentsensuality, and I stumbled on here. And not only do you like SGA and BSG, but you compare the latter to B5!

And you have an inner genetecist! I really just needed to gush about how awesome you are, appologies if that's a bit weird.
