BSG: I really hate boxing
No, I do. It's absolutely one of the few things I can't abide on the Telly. That and Fox 'News.' So I'm about 20 minutes into this thing and I have (not cutting this because there's no spoilers):
a) rarely loathed anyone as much I loathe Starbuck in this. Seriously, it's about wiping out all liking I have for her as her remarkable self-centeredness (which apparently must be excused because she is screwed-up) is repellent. ETA: Lee is running her a close second, though.
b) been forced to watch far too much boxing. Which is to say any at all.
Is there some pay-off for sitting through all this boxing? Will I suddenly find out that Starbuck was possessed by evil alien overlords?
Er, though, judging by the flist reaction this is a very loved episode, so I am out in the cold.
Wow. What a self-centered and unattractive couple Lee and Starbuck are. I don't really care what your issues are, I don't care how messed up you are. I don't care how much you want something: you are still repellent if you sleep with someone and then bounce back to marry someone else...because why? You're the girl who doesn't know what she wants? Who's all confused? And ditto for Lee: running off to Dee after his night o'love with Kara is also completely reppellent.
I know I am supposed to buy into that Starbuck is so messed up that I must forgive. Or understand. And presumably ditto for Lee. But I just can't. And the more I see of her, the less I find myself interested in her, because it's always the same bloody issues over and over again.

But I do wish she was with someone who valued her properly - and at the very least wasn't washing his emotional linen in public.
Good luck with the Foucault. I should be reading Cicero even now...
