Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

'War Stories'


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 had something to say. . . what was it?

Oh, the "So say we all" stuff reminded me of the "What say you!" stuff from RotK. . . so kind of a rallying the men sort of thing. . . a team thing more than a military thing.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Gus has a proposal in Bureaucracy to extract both SGA and BSG into threads seperate from Boxed Set.

I'm pretty sure Daniel and Vala never slept together, but she thinks it's a great funny joke.

Thrive to spite them

I was chatting with someone and they mentioned that in Hot Zone Ford says he hasn't had the gene therapy.

So, the writers can just say that Ford got the therapy sometime between then and The Seige. It would make sense to get everyone innoculated after The Hot Zone.

Although it doesn't make sense why they didn't give everyone the gene therapy when they got there and realized they'd need it to run certain aspects for the city.

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

Long, NYT Sunday Magazine article on BSG: [link] (Someone mentioned this upthread.) No spoilers (except that it mentions that Starbuck is a chick now). The article is mostly about the long road that lead to the new miniseries, the fan controversy, etc.

eta: Also about the "reinvention" of SciFi from its Star Trek conventions. No mention of Firefly's contribution to this.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Mmmm. Atlantis. And some goofy show with that guy who used to be Crichton.

Seriously, at this point, I'm surprised that SG-1 doesn't just collapse under the weight of the meta. And yet, so good to see Ben Browder on TV again.

I was actually more moved by Ford's subplot than I expected to be. Poor used-to-be-clean-cut kid, who said goodbye to his grandma.

Other than that, good Rodney, good Zelenka, good Sheppard. I am pleased.
