Black is definitely not Aeryn, but Browder keeps reading as Crichton to me. He's too goofy for career military, no?

yay just watched the new BSG. very edge of seat - even though it was sopmewhat predictable.

I think what I really enjoy about this show is that there are levels to think about . After Tigh gives his speech and they respond with " and so say we all " I made DH pause - cause I was talking to much about how non military that was . religious sounding, not military. Scene with Sharon and Tigh was really strong. and on Kobol - it was interesting to see our mechanic man ( i forget his name) take a leadership role.

Andi thought it was creepy.

"Where's my Daniel?"

Ah yes, the old "We're symbolicly handcuffed together" bit.

Vala is, like, fanfiction made flesh.

Andi thought it was creepy.

very creepy. call and response parts of religious services have always bothered me. Wehn the minister at my parents church started doing it more, my father had a discussion with the minister. It made my father uncomfortable because it invovles no thought. and I think that is why it has always bugged me. I hate repeating things or saying things that I want to disagree with one tiny part of - but there isn't room for a change. anyway - I agree with creepy.

I was annoyed with the "NEW GUY!" anvils for about the first 20 minutes, but then the writing got to me. Loved this exchange: "so, can you read these symbols?" (long pause, scornful look) "No." Every time I look at Christopher Judge I can't help but think of how goofy he is in all the specials/behind the scene stuff. "Indeed" never gets old for me.

I never really got into Farscape, watched some of the first season and then quit - plus don't think BB is that hot, but I loved his McKay-style freakout after Teal'c totally OOC and bizarrely pointless assassination of that helpless wall. That made me sit up and take notice. Nala irritated me last season but I liked her in this ep. She's almost a Jossverse-type character in how she's so rude and duplicitous but oversensitive if someone slights her - kinda like Jayne. Plus it's always fun to watch Daniel get tortured. When did they sleep together though? One of the few things I liked about her previous ep was that (I thought, anyway) that they DIDN'T sleep together.

SGAquarium was much better though IMHO - Gods, how I've missed my McKay. And more Ho!Yay than you could shake a stick at. And thanks TPTB for the lovely MP! He's perfect, yummmmmmm, you shouldn't have.

OK quick game of f, c, m with the men of SGA:

I'd say f Shep, c Ford and m McKay (or maybe Zelenka so McKay and Sheppard can be together OMGtheirloveissopure).

ETA that little aside between McKay and Zelenka about how "someone" had to wake him up was straight outta fic.

I don't necessarily connect so say we all with religion on the show. Adama (avowedly non-religious) used it to great effect when he was trying to rally the suvivors at the end of the mini. It seems like a rallying cry, but not specifically religious. Though, could be used in various circumstances. Almost, a "Can I get a Hell, yeah??" only more formal.

But it definitly does have that don't think just agree aspect, which makes sense for a rally cry, I guess.

I love Tigh

This episode brought out my Tigh love. Previously not so much.

SG1 and BSG were very satisfying. I have a hard time getting into that fishy one. I watch and enjoy moments, but if I have something to do that is the time to leave the room.

The "so say we all" didn't ping me as religious but very military.
