Miss Cellaneous - Spies and spaceships and serialkillers

I'd have posted this earlier, but I got a call.

For the_grynne, a drabble: Six & Dexter - BSG & Dexter, rated PG, vague spoilers up to BSG 3x03



A foreign place with foreign people.

Whether they claim to believe or believe only in individual gain, they always have a plan, are always planning, no matter how irrational their driving force.

Humanity -- known through love, though survivors fought against and, then and now, for -- used to react more than act. Of course, their emotions? Always as messy.

Oh, I like this show. Already did back with Danny and the credit limit fraud -- everything but temptation. Tom, Zoe, what's your price? Current issues. Bloody brilliant. Occasional bad lines -- Tom's "I'm in love" as a retort didn't work for me; too scripted -- but otherwise excellent writing. And oh, the characters. Zoe! Tessa! Don't you adore how a tense, no-nonsense show about British spies keeps circling around the idea of love? Love for your country, right, but also the old, no-hold-barred romantic love. Who would you die for? What? Or, of course, whom would you have killed?

Annnd exercises now. And then bed. Brief, brief evenings.
