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....

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 liked last night's show (BSG) - but don't have a lot to say. the whole prophecy seems too unambiguious to even speculate on
I won't have a chance to watch until this afternoon.
I actually got away from the computer and watched BSG last night. I know, I'm a bad person (I'm an Evil Overlord, and I have a swivelly chair to boot, so duh I'm a bad person), but I honestly regret not making the effort to follow BSG. I wax poetical (and goofy) when talking about the beauty of the opening shots of "Water", and "33" makes me twitchy and short-tempered. I think I empathize with the characters too much. Erk.
Anyway: I knew knew KNEW that the end of last night's episode would make me facepalm. Baltar, you silly goose. You silly, silly, silly thwap goose.
I loved it, down to the pose, leaning against the railing.
Must. Own.
Hee. Isn't instrument another word for tool ?
White fonted only for folks like Jessica who will be watching this afternoon. And because whitefonting is fun.
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.
I think that you should do this. Purely unselfish encouragement on my part, of course. cough
sumi - ha!
Hi, StuntHusband. Wait, I saw you post somewhere else with a shorter, actual name...? I have to say, 33 is what sold me on watching BSG (which, being the pilot, was convenient enough). I thought the mini was, you know, fine, but I wasn't sure I'd watch the series. I was so wrong.
Oh, don't whitefont on my account. I'm a big old spoiler ho anyway.
Plus, I just finished watching. Woo! The action was really well-directed. And I'm still digging Baltar, even in his current status as the Mayor of Twitchy Crazytown, Land of Crazonia in the Kingdom of Why The Fuck Hasn't Anyone Noticed He's Insane Yet? He's pretty and he amuses me, and I'm willing to handwave that everyone else is kind of busy and preoccupied.
Maybe everyone else is just thinking "genius = eccentric."
(slowly getting the hang of Buffistaspeak)
I'd say "hola!" or "yowdy!" or "greetings!" (or "greenthings and salivations, nerflings!") but y'all say "Timelies!" so...
Timelies, JenP (I just wrote "timelines" which shows my gamer-geek roots FAR too revealingly. Ahem.) Call me StuntHusband, or SH, or Not!Pete!, or Alex. I even answer to, "Hey, faggot!" when bellowed by Unca Jeffy (who is a gigantic straight man), usually across a crowded room of strangers.
sigh
Anyway. I honestly didn't anticipate the tactical choices in last night. But I'm a big character-change junkie, and I saw Baltar's "revelation" a mile off, like a huge slo-mo boulder hurled at 1rpm at my head. "No no no no no, mustn't happen, you DO know what this will do to him, right?"
Ayup.
spang
He wacko now. Buh-bye, nobody home. Just The Pose(TM) against the railing, and 6 all gloaty and must-punch-her-smug-teeth-out (yes, even her teeth are smug)
Loves it we do, preciousss.
Maybe everyone else is just thinking "genius = eccentric."
Eccentric? He's bug-fuck crazy.
