I would be there right now.

Simon ,'Objects In Space'


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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Watching the two of them play characters who are not only not interested in each other now, but who will almost certainly never be interested in each other (which I'm sure was deliberate) was odd. Not bad, just odd.

I can't get a handle on BB's character. Right now, he's reading to me like Chricton, if Chricton were very, very tired all the time.

And I finally watched SG-A tonight for the first time (I didn't bother watching it on the preview DVD because I wasn't really interested in the SGverse), and damn! It's actually pretty good! At least this ep, to a new fan, was much better than SG-1. And it amuses me to no end that Assistant Director Skinner is playing Captain Picard. (Only in the sense of "bald actor I really like playing the captain of a ship with shields and transporter beams," but still.)

There's a very good article on BSG in this week's NYTimes Magazine. (Subscribers got it today, it'll be online tomorrow, if someone reminds me to link to it.)

Thrive to spite them

I was worried about SGA and how they were going to deal with the Wraith and come out alive, really worried that the Dadelus would blow them up and that would be it. But it turned out great, loved that they just tricked them.

The Dadelus crew was really good, I liked ....what's her name working with the Asgard. The "he's not happy about this" and then when she rushed over to a control and shoved someone out of the way hurling the chair into another control panel.

Loved Mckay's "What ? Are you union?"

I'm not sure how I like Ford's storyline. And how could he fly the jumper? He's never been able to before.

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

I'm not sure how I like Ford's storyline. And how could he fly the jumper? He's never been able to before.

I didn't like Ford's storyline at all. How come he got a full dose of the enzyme while the Marine colonel didn't? They were both being lifesucked when their attackers were killed.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Are last night's episodes of SG1, SGA, and BSG going to be repeated on any particular date/time?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I can't believe nobody mentioned the look exchanged and the flutter-wink Vala gave Cameron on the line "I'm pregnant. And there's a one-in-ten chance it's yours." to Daniel.

I miss the longer "previouslies" on BSG to the non-vocal music, followed by clips from the episode to the drums. I like the drums, and I like seeing hints of what's to come. I like the chief taking charge of the crashed crew on Kobol, too. And they included a clip of him in the "hot men of BSG" on the behind-the-scenes show. And speaking of that inside-the show, how much do I love how easily Tricia Helfer slips into Six's persona-voice? And how round Callis' eyes got and how his body language stilled when she did?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I like seeing hints of what's to come.

I don't. I'd always turn my head and not watch that part.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

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

never - no one wants you to agree - but do what you are told - anything more than Yes, Sir!~ is saying to much. Now, YMMV, but it is what I have seen and heard from my father and sister. and seen when visitinb my sister

'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"

Yeah, I miss the quick glimpses of ambiguous scenes. It's also very handy if, like me, you don't really remember what titles go with what episodes all the time.

From now on, I'm referring to SG1 as Fargate!

All is well that ends in pizza.

I'm thinking that Vala is just kidding about being pregnant. I'm fairly certain that Daniel is just eye-rolling her patter, having dealt with her casual lies.

Some people were calling it StarScape SG-1 when the announcement hit.
