This is kind of like the Panda's Thumb refutation of God -- there can't be a God, because he wouldn't do anything this stupid. (Stephen Jay Gould)

There'll be T-shirts "I'm not a Cylon, I just don't like you."

Yay for old DS9 folks finding work

Sing is, sister.

I'm wondering if it is ye olde plot vs. character issue again

I am lucky in that this can be an either/or thing for me if I like one of the two enough, which I usually don't. I can stick it out for characters to grow on me if I'm into the story (this is mostly how BSG started for me); and if characters interest me, I'll stick it out to see how the stories go. Ideally, I love both. BSG is becoming that for me. The Stargates are far more about the characters for me, though some of the plotting can be fun and engaging.

Good Vs. Evil

I wish I had seen this.

a specimen up close for the first time

They did have the dead one. From that one they determined they'd need a super-special test because they seemed completely human in the autopsy. And at this point, I think, "They're too dangerous to keep alive, so just shove 'em out an airlock when you're done," works well enough for me.

The lame-ass glowy spine sex lights, I've got nothing for, and it irritated the shit out of me when I saw it. I would like them to retcon that right the hell out.

ETA: I hate it when I post a long one in the middle of people riffing. Curses!

Also, "Mustache Cylon detector rides 5¢"

Perhaps the Cylons in S2 will have been mysteriously upgraded.

Huh. Daniel just died (Meridian-style), and I actually teared up a bit. I've seen those scenes so many times in so many vids, not to mention the ep a couple of times, I'm surprised. Maybe I'm just in one of those moods. Janet's "Colonel?" really is sort of gut wrenching. Aw. Janet. So sad.

In SG1, we've just had Anubis & his homies attacking the earth, only to be foiled by last-minute Attack Of The Ancient Jellyfish, curtesy of Jack. Who is now stuck in a glassy/icey coffin thing in the Antarctic.

Someone please tell me that they're going to discover Atlantis soon, and that there will be some McKay and Shepherd in my foreseeable future? And that Jack isn't stuck in a coffin forever?

Apparently, instead of the brake lever, these taillights are connected to the having-sex-in-a-sitting-position lever. Presumably they glow for other sex positions, or at other times, but AFAIK we don't know beyond two instances of the same position.

I sooooo want there to be a flashback to the original creation of Cylons with the responsible scientist being played by Bai Ling.

Fear not, Fay, all will be revealed. New Order, and then The Rising, follow on immediately after that episode (Lost City), and you get to meet Shep and Rodney and all.

Betsy, Vala was lying: she never slept with Daniel. She's a former Goa'uld host out for her own business (duh), and tried to steal the Prometheus. Daniel foiled her, but there was much farce. She beat him up and offered to kiss it better, that kind of thing.

I enjoyed the hell out of SG-1, but I rather wish I'd watched in the reverse order of how I watched, which was SG-1, SGA, BSG. Dark to light would have been more fun.

I'm hoping the meta on SG-1 will lighten up soon, as the characters and situations solidify. I like Mitchell so far, but there's not much too him. However I'm convinced Jack set him up on purpose, and I'm loving the not-so-very-rapport with Teal'c. The smile on T's face was priceless.

Can't wait for Friday!

My friend Heuradys made a Vala vid: Whatever LolaVala Wants, which if possible you should download, watch and compliment her on ASAP:
