Notes on a Cylon

grav_ityTen days ago, during the five things meme, I was given the prompt Boomer.
This is what I wrote: GOD, I LOVE BOOMER!
I loved her back when she was troubled and unsure, I cried for her when she tried to kill herself, I shrieked more than a little when she shot Adama in the CIC, and I came thisclose to hating Cally when she shot her in the hallway.
After that it gets a little confusing, because it took a while for Sharon to reveal herself fully as Not Boomer, but when Boomer downloaded on Caprica and made everything worse trying her best AGAIN I fell back into my old habits.
It had better work out for her, this time. She can marry the Chief and they can have Cylon babies and it might be a little awkward, but I DON'T CARE. We didn't get that cut last episode for nothing!
A bit before that, I wrote about how "never" is just another word for "until" when it comes to declaring your hatred for the chracters on this show (or the Cylon ones at least).
Today, I did something that I have NEVER DONE on this show before (possibly because the show has never made me). I fell out of love with Boomer. HARD. And I've ALWAYS loved Boomer.
Boomer is the FIRST character on this show who has made me run the gamut of love, pity, and hate (in that direction. Most of them have made me go the other way). Because I felt SO BAD for her, but I don't anymore. She deserves death. Badly. And soon. And where once I would have felt bad for her, for the Cylon girl built to love and destined to be screwed over, I don't anymore. And it's weird.
(It's also totally because of the sex. I can't handle that. She basically raped two people AND THEN KIDNAPPED A CHILD WE KNOW SHE WANTS TO KILL and I can't deal with that.)
I think it's weird that in the space of a week I went from wanting her to have a happy ending, making apologies for things she'd done because she redeemed herself by rescuing Ellen, to wanting her to die. And die horribly, permanently, irrevokably. I don't want Cavil to grow tired of her and snap her neck. I don't want the crap assed send off we gave Felix Gaeta. I want a blood bath. And I don't even care if it's Caprica or Athena who does it. Hell, I don't care if it's STARBUCK. I want her to die knowing that she's failed and that no one loves her anymore. But that they could have, if she hadn't let herself become such a monster.
I wonder what bullshit Jacob will crank out this week.
