Wish I had
commentary about The Last Ship.
Looking forward to the new episode tonight. Where's Rachel when we need her to
figure out the science? I'm actually wondering if her former flame has
something to do with the green mist stuff. Can't wait to find out who's behind
that.
Killjoys continues to intrigue me. I'm so excited to see where this season ends
up. I love how the various factions all seem to have pieces to a puzzle but no
one knows what the puzzle looks like yet.
Dark Matter had a terrific episode. Great to see Five
get some screen time to remind us of her mad skills. Three and Four make a fun
team. I'm interested in finding out what else is going on behind the scenes.
Babylon 5 has two episodes left in season two… I think. Can't remember if they
did a standard twenty-two episode season or not. I'd forgotten how much of an
impact Talia's betrayal had, even if she had no idea what happened.
No Strike Back this week. Had way too much
other drama going on to be able to watch. *sigh* Maybe I'll get to it this
week.
That's the TV
update for this week. Tonight's post is from Close Quarters, part two of the Molly / Sloan saga. I really need
to come up with a name for this series.
Here's the
mini-blurb:
After trying to out
maneuver their crew mates who bet on whether they'd ever hook up, Molly and
Sloan discover an abiding love and embark on a committed relationship. Their
biggest problem? Trying to figure out how to live in close quarters without
making each other insane.
And a sneaky peek…
Battlecruiser
MacGregor—Command Quarters—Last Dog Watch
Liam
MacNeill sat behind his massive desk, thoughtfully sipping an aged scotch. He
marveled over how much things had changed, yet somehow still stayed the same. Life,
laughter, love—even under trying circumstances—all were possible.
Bullet
points. Sloan and Molly were a bona fide couple… and hadn't killed each other
yet. Early stages of the relationship, but Liam hoped they'd stick together.
Couples who spent time in the brig usually found creative solutions to anything
dramatic going on.
Relaxed
regs. He honestly didn't know how it would turn out. He didn't disagree with
the need for the new protocol, but change didn't always settle well with folks
used to certain structure. For every pro Lena Cunningham listed, his XO, Fergus
Quinn, had a con. Liam thought it might be interesting to put the two of them
in a room and let them duke it out. Liam would probably put money on the feisty
president to come out on top. The woman got things done when she set her mind
to it.
Her focus
split in so many directions, but she maintained a very delicate balance between
seeing to the needs of civilians, working with the military to protect their
last assets, and digging deeper into the reasons the Aschen continued to give
chase. Liam would give his commander pips to know the answer to that burning
question. He had no doubt Cunningham would start pushing Dr. Barton for
concrete data instead of pithy, vague conjecture. Now that the fleet had
settled into something of a routine and had a general direction to travel, she'd
start a plan to keep several steps ahead of their enemy. Or try to. MacNeill's
respect for her grew with each passing day. She kept a lot of irons in the fire
and maintained a quiet dignity while doing it.
He asked a
lot of his crew and hoped they'd continue to rise to the challenges of
protecting the fleet. He'd have to keep a close eye on everyone, make sure no
one hit the breaking point. They still had a very long journey ahead.
This is the
prologue for the second book. I'm hoping to maybe work in some dialog, maybe
with Cunningham and MacNeill discussing the recent changes. The sages are
pondering how they want to handle this idea. LOL
That's it for this
week. Catch everyone on the flipside.
