The last trailer for Caprica had the famous BSG line "It happened before and it will happen again" in it, which made me think of BSG and...Lost whose finale season will premiere soon and whose reruns I still follow on the French cable(yesterday it was season 2 finale which I loved because Desmond was back and Desmond and Penny are one of the most romantic pairings ever portrayed on tv).

Suddenly a few things struck me. It seems to me that BSGverse(and Caprica is part of it) has been playing around/struggling with the opposite concepts of Fate and Providence for a while. And so has Lost, to a certain extent, especially at the end of season 5.

Fate is a concept we inherited from Greek/Roman antiquity while Providence is a Christian notion that St Augustine and, above all, Thomas of Aquinas developed in their work. In this western world, that's our cultural legacy so no wonder that the concepts are still floating around, even on tv shows.

First off, gentle flisters, I bring you "Bohemian Rhapsody" revisited, BSG-style, for a night at the opera-house.

Not sure Freddie would have liked that, but it made me smile especially the bits about Lee and donuts.
The singing is terrible but the lyrics are funny and include many winks to several fandoms!

Secondly here's something that has been around for a while, I guess (

fraidycatx3 posted about it last week), so I can't find the original link anymore...basically it's about Lost characters making a sandwich.

Now I shall go back to Marking Hell.

The words are from Tom McRae's song, "One more Mile", but this isn't about Tom(I suppose that the icon gave it away!). Instead of one more mile we actually have a few months to wait now, until the last season of Lost.

The 84-minute finale felt too short but gave me enough food for thoughts. So here we go...

( The Incident )

I'm glad that I was unspoiled for that one!

( Spoilers for episode 5x14 )

I don't know if I should be punished but, instead of marking papers in the afternoon I downloaded the last episode of Lost, "Dead is Dead" and then I watched it...

Here comes a long review with a lot of Egyptian stuff.

( I love that show )

In other news I really hope that Fox isn't going to cancel Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicles. It has flaws but I'm hooked, and it's funny to watch the birth of A.I on that show especially since I'm reading Richard Powers' Galatea 2.2 .

Did I say how much I love Richard Powers? He's really becoming my favourite American writer, along with Daniel Mendelsohn.

Current Mood: content

I haven't posted for a while but no I haven't vanished, I just took a step away for RL was busy and I wasn't in the mood for LJ. Yeah it's that feeling of being disconnected again. But

sister_luck managed to lure me back online. ;- )

I watched my tv shows though.

( Lost )

I have also seen the two last episodes of Dollhouse and the Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicles ones.

( Dollhouse )( T: SCC )

Now I'm going to bed...

This week has been hectic so far and I'm bound to Marking Hell still for a while(at least tomorrow and on Saturday). Today it was non-stop work, from 8:00 to 16:30, I did not have lunch time(I'm supposed to have a break off teaching between 12:40 and 13:05 but I had stuff to do) and I left the school feeling exhausted which isn't surprising. I didn't even get a break to go to the loo during the whole day (I swear it's true) and ran from the subway exit to my place because I soo needed to pee. TMI?

So when I came back home I fed the cats, after relieving my bladder, and went out to the hairdresser. Yeah I was too tired to go shoe shopping.

Next week is gonna be tough too, for I have term meetings on Monday and Tuesday evening after the class. I won't leave the school before 20:00 at best. I'm going to spend 11 hours at school on Monday and I will miss my piano lesson on Tuesday. :-(

In case you wonder the connection between the title of this post and the content so far...the reason is that I've just watched Lost. But I suppose that my icon gave it away.

( La Fleur )

ETA: Speaking of Lost, MSN has pictures from "behind the scenes": http://tv.msn.com/gallery/lost-behind-the-scenes/?photoidx=1

I know Locke wasn't really on yesterday's episode but Terry O'Quinn rocks. What a beautiful man.

( This one is my favourite )

I love Locke-centric episodes ! John Locke has always been my favourite character...until a certain Desmond appeared and gave the show that romantic touch it lacked.

The camera just loves Terry O'Quinn's face, and those beautiful eyes of his, and the way he smiles. I guess it is what they call charisma.

I'm supposed to mark papers and I'm going to...but I need to write down my thoughts on the last episode of Lost before entering Marking hell again.

( 316 )

BSG 4.5 starts in 8 days ! The ten last episodes of the best tv thing we've had since Buffy!

I wonder if anyone from my flist has been following the Sci-Fi "You Will Know The Truth" clues...16 so-called clues have been "revealed" so far.

( Read more... )

And Lost's new season begins on the 21th, so there will be more stuff to ponder soon...

Also I know I said last year that I would not watch Nip/Tuck anymore...Well, I'm weak. I gave in and watched episode 5x15...Nothing spectacular, as expected (the parallels have become sooooo not subtle), but I'm a sucker for Sean/Christian and Christian/Liz !

I might have indulged in such bad treat because I'm having my implants surgery tomorrow morning, but in my case it's titanium in my jaw bone, not silicone in my chest. Is it the beginning of my turning into an artifical creature?

I'm taking a break from Marking Hell to post about my tv shows. I'm caught up for I watched Lost and BSG before going to bed yesterday. Both shows were brilliant !

( Lost and its hot men ! )

( My faith in BSG is restored ! )

I'm having troubles with my Internet connexion lately.

First off, a very happy yet belated birthday to

fishsanwitt. I hope it was great!

Secondly, two quick "reviews" of Lost and BSG. Spoilers under the cut.

( Lost is back ! )

( BSG: Escape Velocity )

Current Mood: contemplative

Yesterday I saw There Will Be Blood...I wasn't really blown away despite some interesting stuff and intense scenes (at the beginning of the film mostly). Probably too Bible-oriented for my taste.

*spoilers under the cut*

( Read more... )

What can I say? I'm more Greek-oriented. By the way speaking of Daniel and D men...I watched Lost again.

( Lost, The Constant Love )

( A few words on Ashes to ashes )

Current Mood: accomplished

I re-watched The Untouchables again. I just can't help it, every time it's on tv I have to watch it...Once upon a time Kevin Costner was on a good movie, wasn't bad at acting and had those beautiful green eyes. He was so touching when Sean Connery died in his arms. *sniff*

Also the finale of Lost was on tv tonight, dubbed in French of course...

( New thoughts )

I've just watched the 2 hour finale of Lost. Wow!

( Spoilers if you haven't seen it )

I watched Lost yesterday in the evening before burying myself in the reading of a Connelly's crime novel. I really enjoyed the episode. I've been very critical of the writing lately but last night I find it quite good.

( Greatest Hits...spoilers )

...show I'm currently watching which means it's also the last tv series I can think about.

( Let's speculate ! )

Current Mood: contemplative

I've seen the three last episodes of State of Play, the finale of Life on Mars and the latest Lost !

( Spoilers behind the cut )

Current Mood: accomplished
Current Music: Eurovision on tv

No, despite my new addiction to Life On Mars, I didn't forget to download Lost.

Grey's Anatomy has been rather disappointing lately but I may give it another try.

So many shows, so little time...

( Lost 3x17 )

The last episode wasn't as good as Exposé but I'm still enjoying Lost. It was about being an outcast, mind games and denial...
