This, which might be my favorite performance of Oh Fortuna ever:
Unrelated, the big epic BSG rewatch is up to the beginning of season three's Unfinished Business (aka, the one where Starbuck and Apollo beat the crap out of each other in the boxing ring, while in another time and place Bill and Laura smoke up and giggle like teenagers), and can I just say that the structure of the episode hits all my storytelling buttons? The way the flashbacks unravel all sort of missing backstory...weaving what's essentially two separate episodes into one but heightening the tension and drama in both because we, the audience, are made suddenly prescient? yeah. Why don't more shows use this device?
Fringe - The Astrid Episode: Flail and satisfaction all around. That's all I need to say about that. I love that, for a sci-fi show, they never lose sight of it being a story about love and family and being exceptional in ones own way and finding a place to belong.
