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.

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

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Reverse the polarity, shift power to the fuel cells, and Bob's your uncle?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If that were true -- how are there two Boomers simultaneously?
Um... I don't see the issue here....
There are multiple simultaneous versions of each type, and when a Cylon dies his/her soul is supposedly transfered to a new one (presumably of the same type).

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
But maybe the Cylons are just programmed to believe that.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
So, the Caprica!Boomer is preggers, right? I do recall Six had a something of a preoccupation with making a child with Baltar. Actually, it's beginning to feel like the entire purpose of Helo/Boomer on Caprica is with a view to starting a human/Cyclon race. Uh-oh.
Also, they haven't been shagging for too long--seems a bit early for Boomer to start experiencing morning sickness if the humanoid Cyclon physiology truly mimics that of humans. Who knows? Maybe their gestation period is way shorter than 9 months. Anyway, I foresee the Birth of An All Important Child Foretold in Prophecy, because every genre show has a miracle child.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking would be funny.
But probably not. The show seems to take religon too seriously for that (to dismis a major part of their religion).
Maybe in the end, the Lords of Kobol (sp?) and the Cylon god will both be shown to be true, or have elements of truth.

He will restore balance to the Force.

At least Baltar isn't carrying it.

But is he crazy enough to *think* he's carrying it?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Eccentric? He's bug-fuck crazy.

Our wings are not tired.
Maybe everyone else is just thinking "genius = eccentric."
I count on this theory in my personal life.
Still haven't watched. Stupid busyness.
