I've seen people mention it elsewhere, but you can win the award for noticing it first here. (I never watched Dead Like Me, so I wouldn't recognize it.)
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!
'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

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

I have watched DLM, and I did not recognize it, Theo. Though it did make me think of DLM. But you win for here, I think.

Our wings are not tired.
Well, maybe I should watch more TV then....
Hee. I don't think so. The 6PM SG-1 is on daily while I cook dinner and bug kids about homework. They repeat the promos at an alarming rate.
Still haven't watched. I'll look for the DLM diner.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
It was Der Waffle Haus from DLM. Kind of surreal. Although I only saw the last five minutes of SG-1.

They should have had the yodelling music on in the background to make it perfect.

Perhaps Mandy Patinkin slinging hash in the kitchen? I hear he's looking for work...

Now I want to write a crossover where Daniel ends up as a Reaper, and has to keep his job with the Air Force while he does it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh, no discussion of last night's BSG? My reaction was somewhat better than "meh", as stuff blew up and what-not.
This question and answer in Ron Moore's blog cracked me up: (eta Ron is executive producer)
"Hello, Ron. I have a question about Baltar you ought to answer. One of the things I liked about the original series was the way Baltar did all his chair-swiveling. Boy, he sure looked evil way the frak up there on that big pedestal. And then Lucifer or some other Cylon would come in, and there would be those big, dramatic polytonal chords, and then Baltar would slowly swivel around in his chair to face whatever had come into his room because before they came into his room, he was facing a wall, or something off screen-- who knows what was there. I'm sure there's been a lot of speculation about it. But you see, when you made the new Baltar the way he is-- that is, a non-- chair-swiveller, I didn't think the show could work at all. You've got to have a chair-swiveller in it, and there hasn't been one-- until now. Just as I'm getting used to Callis NOT being a chair-swiveller, there he is at the end of "Tigh Me Up" SWIVELING IN HIS CHAIR! Well, I must say I was very pleased with that, and so now I must ask: Was James Callis's chair-swiveling scene a tribute to John Colicos's chair-swiveling?"
Ron's answer:
Chair-swiveling is an old and honorable avocation for any accomplished and self-respecting villainous personage. How could its inclusion be anything but a loving tribute?

Art Crawl!!!
Bwah!
I enjoyed it -- although admittedly I watched the 1 am run of it so was pretty darn sleepy.
However, given that I actually SLEPT through the 10:30 showing of SG1 - I would say that BSG and Aquarium held my interest much better.

The SciFi Channel's BSG website has a series of documentaries [link] on the show. I learned in the latest one that BSG is shot in Hi Def. How cool is that? Maybe it's time for me to get Hi Def cable....
