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 think I was promised HoYay.
It usually simmers beneath the surface, then erupts in unpredictable intervals in all of its naked glory. It's a lot like a volcano that way.
Not much slashable couples in BSG, is there? (Unless you're considering Adama/Tigh.) Now, if Starbuck had remained the guy, the fandom would be overflowing with slash, but I'm loving Katee Sackhoff's Starbuck too much to wish her character played by someone else. BSG is just one of those I love in which I have no particular pairing-investment. Well, except for a vague wish for Roslin/Apollo, but the writers haven't fed that particular appetite of mine since "Bastille Day".
I foresee the Birth of An All Important Child Foretold in Prophecy, because every genre show has a miracle child.
Can I state for the record how boring this plot twist is? For any Important TV Execs reading along,
please strike this from your plot-wtist repertoire forthwith.
Not just because of how annoying it is to watch formerly powerful women turn into Weepy Belly Carriers. I would also be OK with some normal, not-miracle children who do normal, not-miracle things like draw on walls.
I hear you. But the thing is, if Galactica!Boomer is pregnant, that ain't going to be a normal sprog who'll do normal sprog things like draw on the walls or throw a temper tantrum.
Also, how *can* Cyclons reproduce anyway? They're fascimiles of humans but they're supposed to be still machines, non? Once they start to spawn, "you're nothing but a toaster!" is no longer gonna fly too well as an insult.
It never occurred to me that Caprica!Boomer might be pregnant. (That is the Boomer we're talking about, right, what with the vomiting?)
Maybe she ate some bad RAM chips.

Caprica!Boomer might be pregnant.
Oh, yeah. I meant Caprica!Boomer, not the other one.
I don't know--my brain just immediately went there when she started to throw up and tried to cover up what was wrong from Helo. Mostly because getting her to sleep with Helo seemed to be a major mission on the Caprica-Cyclons' part; also, Six had expressed a wish (in the pilot, I think) that Baltar would impregnate her.
Oh, god, are they really going to go the Magical Pregnancy route? There's going to have to be a lot of Apollo to compensate for this.
There's going to have to be a lot of Apollo to compensate for this.
What about Apollo/Helo? Would that help?
Plus the CKR Cylon coming back and domming Baltar.
Are you suggesting that I'm easily appeased by slash? I am shocked, I tell you, SHOCKED at the suggestion.
I'd settle for more shots of Apollo's arms.
Plus the CKR Cylon coming back and domming Baltar.
Dude. Baltar is such a natural-born sub that even Billy would be a dom when paired with Baltar.
... and I didn't really want to think of Billy/Baltar in leather and chains, but my brain just went there regardless.
