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 am having fun reading Ron Moore's BSG blog rather than sleeping right now:

Q: "I'll second the question - why is it that the paper in the Galactica universe has the corners cut off, even the tractor fed printer sheets! i just want to know."

A: This is a closely guarded secret of the show and certainly not a wacky design element that someone came up with during the miniseries.

Q: "Does James Callis' uncanny resemblance to Alexander Siddig in almost every way ever freak you out?"

A: Not until someone on these boards mentioned it, now I'm totally freaked.

There's actually some very interesting reading there, aside from the funny.

I'm also rewatching DS9 through Netflix now, and "totally freaked" pretty much describes looking at Bashir and thinking Baltar. Gotta shake it off, man.

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

"totally freaked" pretty much describes looking at Bashir and thinking Baltar

Ooh. I hadn't thought of it that way round.

I was wondering whether Julian as the longer-standing character in my brain would have a slight edge over his doppelganger. Nope, not really. Just as odd to watch him with Baltar rattling around up there as it was to watch Baltar with Bashir in mind at first. In fact, this may even be weirder, because Baltar is fresher in my memory.

I fear the dreams that may come.

(And, awww, DS9 - I've missed you.)

'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"

I miss DS9 every day, and I'm hoping that Moore brings in Wolfe and Behr and Echevarria et al.

They should totally get Siddig in to play some sort of Cylon duplicate of Baltar. t evile grin

All is well that ends in pizza.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out Baltar is a Cylon, already.

Our wings are not tired.

At long last my Friday night happened mid-day Sunday. Hey, better late than never.

SG-1:
The Anubis/Ba’al scene was just, well weird. It seemed like the actors were on different sets talking to blue walls or something. I might rewatch with the kids later, but it seemed odd at the time.

Also, I hate Sam-n-Jack

Oh dear, I gotta admit to liking Sam-n-Jack.

I don't hate Pete, actually. I hate Pete as a contrivance to spend more time on the Sam-n-Jack question.

Exactly

I will miss Jacob. Aww.

The 90 minutes didn’t seem all that to me. Hey, bonus 30 minutes, YaY, but I ended up tapping my fingers during some of the diner scenes.

Atlantis:
Still rooting for the Wraith

BSG:

the whole prophecy seems too unambiguious to even speculate on

The thing that bugs me with the presidential illness is that she either needs to get on with the dying, or some treatment options need to present themselves soon. I’m still on the fence on whether I like her or not.

I thought the Apollo action scenes were more than swell. zoom zoo pow Good stuff.

Yeah, but what evidence of this have the other characters seen? Besides public masturbation, of course.

It seems to be played that it is being ignored because he is so brilliant. But yeah, bug-fuck crazy. (And yet DH wouldn’t mind switching places with him) And Six, totally crazy too. If she wasn’t I would dislike their scenes. It's more balanced this way.

Anyway, I foresee the Birth of An All Important Child Foretold in Prophecy, because every genre show has a miracle child.

Probably, still think the Caprica story drags. Ho hum.

Not so sorry I fell asleep during Catsquito.

I think I was promised HoYay.

Where is 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.

There's gotta be at least one fairly major character who's a Cylon but that hasn't been revealed yet. Probably the character doesn't know s/he's a Cylon.
