'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.

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

Those lights are the DUMBEST shit.

Yeah. I got the impresson from the miniseries DVD commentary that they just threw that in there on a whim... or at least they didn't think that through very well.

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

Also, the Cylon Adama killed was male, so maybe he didn't have the taillights.

Yeah, he probably had fog lamps.

Or a flash light.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

So, taillights might actually be glowy ovaries, except they're really, really lost in the body cavity? Okay.

The big fun comes when you realize that the cylon they killed in the mini and the cylon they killed later were the same model. Come on, didn't somebody at least joke that it was the perfect opportunity for a twin-study in anatomy? And, having cracked that joke, didn't somebody else say, DUDE WHAT AN AWESOME IDEA like I just did?

From the Battlestar Galactica Miniseries Wiki:

Note: Comments from members of the production crew have since suggested that the only reason the glowing spine was included was that it "looked cool" at the time, and in retrospect, may have been a mistake.

"in retrospect, may have been a mistake." - duh.

Wasn't that what Roddenberry used to say about the Prime Directive?

If I only had a brain...

WHAT? So if anybody ever does it doggy-style with a Cylon, the secret is out?

P.S. Is there a polite way to say "doggie style"? I couldn't think of one.

Yeah.

Cylons should also not have sex with humans in rooms that have mirrors. Or in complete darkness. They should also resist the temptation to videotape their sexual exploits.
