Buffy ,'Lessons'
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 know! And then he claimed to be taken out of context and omigod! it's so unfair! Roenick of all people shouldn't be surprised that he's taken out of context.
There's been a lot of "oh noes! We lost a year's salary! It's so unfair!" Perspective is seriously needed.
Is Boris Mironov still playing?
Holy Aphrodite! I just scanned through the post since Friday and have come to a horrid realization.
People, on balance, are not liking Battle Star Galactica. I must not be people.
That's crazy talk!
Seriously, dude. The tide is against. My world is askew.

Eh. I think it is The New Cool Show. And it's got a lot of strength still in front of it. Some folks won't like it, but I have every reason to believe it'll find it's audience and will develop.
Huh. A majority dislike of BSG is not what I got when I read the thread, but even if so -- what difference does it make?
I know tons of people who adore BSG. I like it well enough, but I don't love it; it doesn't have enough humor for me, and the anthropology makes no sense. But I recognize that it's very smart and well-written in many ways.
But Hec's right: BSG is the Cool New Thing. Atlantis may be as popular in slashy fannish circles, but BSG is getting the critical raves.
I scanned quickly. Maybe I mostly tuned in on the "turn the sound off" BSG posts and noted that SG stuff seemed more numerous.
Wait, no "maybe" about it. That is what I did.
CocoaPuffs:On a re-read, the anti BSG comments seem to be around the lack of linguistic coloratura. It is true that most of the sentences are short declaratives, consisting of either phlebotinum or other exposition.
Still, I get a clear sense of character. Maybe that is all in the choice of players.
