I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Beth, they're also re-airing the BSG miniseries on Sunday the 16th in one four-hour block on Sci-Fi.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Heather -- you should spoiler font.

the time lapse thing didn't bug me because didn't she have to wait until Wallace got his fake?

But she had the disk in her back pocket for a long time before she looked at it. In fact, I think she raided the ceremony and went to karaoke while it was in her possession, but before she looked.

The new version is different enough from the original (same basic premise, execution updated a LOT)

I think so far they've redone one ep (and I've watched eleven so far) from the original series -- they've taken a lot of liberties, and it's good.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

the stupid one minute over lap is killing me -- I will watch one and record the other -- but I don't have the option on TIVO to tell it to record PP starting at 901 - unless I am there - which I am never sure of happening

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

they've taken a lot of liberties, and it's good.

Oh yes. No mechanical doggies anywhere in sight.

You can't do a manual recording?

I know that Starbuck used to be a guy -- was Boomer too?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Heather -- you should spoiler font.

ACK! Fixed

From what I remember, she got the tape, was listening to the sessions, got locked in her trunk, was going to find out where the ceremony was, but heard it going on. It makes sense to me because both listening to the sessions and being at the ceremony are things you'd have to do right then- watching a tape is not.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I know that Starbuck used to be a guy -- was Boomer too?

I think so.

Wasn't there a chick who wanted to be a Viper pilot? What happened with that?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Boomer was also a guy.
