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.
It was a perfectly good article chronicling a difficult process of interpersonal and corporate negotiation, and very interesting, with a few unnecessary and distracting opinions thrown in.
Do you expect that kind of complete objectivity in a Sunday Times magazine article, though? To me the context of the article, and the fact that it's an arts-section type of piece, signal that it's not going to be hard journalism. I don't usually read the Times, so I may have a poor idea what they normally run in the magazine.
How you summarize the article might highlight that we were reading for different things, though. To me the story's hook is, "There once was a bad show, which had some fans. It was remade as a good show, which made some of those fans angry." The conflict between the fandom and actual quality is what interests me. A completely objective description of events would make me think, "But why should I care? Why are you telling me about this show in particular, when every show has conflicts we don't hear about?"
if you have an enemy captive, and want to know what makes him tick
In "Flesh & Bone"? They didn't want to know what made him tick. Roslin's the only one who even wanted Leoben questioned; Adama was ready to kill him immediately. Then Leoben told them that he'd planted a nuke on one of the ships, which gave them something to chat about, and made it a very bad idea to perform any experiments that might actually kill him.
They've never demonstrated much interest in why the Cylons do what they do. Cylons kill people. Most of them figure that's all there is to know. Which is part of why Boomer's in such a spot.
Have we heard any music or popular culture on BSG, aside from knowing that they have news/talk shows similar to our own?
I'm pretty sure we haven't.
Adama gave a book to Roslyn once. That's all I can think of.
There's big band-ish music (I think it's a live band, but it might be a recording) at the party in "Colonial Day." And yeah, Roslin and Adama talked about some popular mystery novels in one of the first few episodes.

The features in the magazine are usually pretty good, at least compared to their arts/style coverage in the rest of the paper.
There needs to be a musical episode of BSG.

Original series, but there you are.
Heh.
Of course, it'd probably help if I had seen
The Lion King.
There was that original series ep where they landed on the disco planet. That almost counts.
Hell, there needs to be a BSG
opera....
Nutty, "Robinette"'s car in
G vs E
was an orange Volvo -- in fact, "Orange Volvo" was like the second episode where he related how he thought it gave him an advantage because the bad guys never suspected that such a cool guy would drive such a nerdly car.

This is me being Cranky McBitchypants.
It is 2005. It is NO LONGER FUNNY for a woman to insult a man by calling him a lady. In particular, "Ladies first" -- motions at guy -- is not funny. Even as performed by Claudia Black.
In other news, how many feminists does it take to screw in a lightbulb: THAT'S NOT FUNNY!
