River ,'Jaynestown'
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.
The TV show Cupid is being torrented as we speak. 6 GB.
Awesome! Can't wait to hear what you think.
I've never seen the Stargate shows, but I am really liking BSG. Don't know whether I love it, but I'm hooked. It is very serious, with only small touches of lightness, but it handles its tone well enough for me. I'd rather it do what it does well then try to be funny and fail at it (I wasn't a big fan of "Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down," though I loved "Six Degrees of Separation").
I kind of lost interest in SCI FI fridays during the hiatus. But after reading some fanfic I went back and watched SGA and liked it.
I'm in the process of rewatching BSG to see if I'll enjoy it more the second time around. I like Starbuck. I have a thing against the actress who plays Rosalin, it's such a minor thing, but her voice bugs me. It has in almost everything I've seen her in. Except the behind the scenes special when she was just talking.
The timeline for the premieres of SGA and SG1 bugged me. In the finale of SGA the Dadealus has reached Atlantis and mounting the rescue operation. In the premiere the ship is still at Atlantis.
But in Avalon Daniel misses the Dadealus by a few hours and I'm not sure why the timeline is so screwed up like that.

It's not screwed up; Atlantis had a cliffhanger and Stargate didn't, so Stargate's now showing events that happened after the events we're seeing in Atlantis. Moebius actually took place before Siege, and we're clearly a couple of months past Moebius in Avalon, but still in Siege over on Atlantis.
I just picked up SG-1, and I'm a thrown. Isn't everybody a bit informal for a military base? I don't think I saw Cameron throw one salute, even when he met his CO.
That's par for the course--they're a pretty informal bunch.

I think maybe they didn't want to scare the long-time viewers. It's been years since the fact that the SGC is a military base has really been an issue. They established it early on as such, and then went off to do more interesting things. Having people saluting every five minutes would get really wearing when you're used to your characters not bothering, I think. Though it wouldn't be an episode unless someone said "Sir, with all due respect..." at least once.

I love BSG with an (un)holy love. I love the characters (pretty much all of them except Ellen Tigh, Gaius, and Six), love that we have no clue who's in the right. I think the actors are doing a bang-up job. I like that even minor charactors like Cally have layers. I love the gender role stuff, and that can be a make or break for me. I was on the edge of my seat for most of 33, and KLG. I like that they didn't neatly resolve the cliffhangers from KLG pt. 2 in Scattered.
Y'all can have Jamie Bamber's arms; I'll take Katee's arms, shoulders, and the curve of her lower back.
Of course, I've never seen a single ep of either Stargate. Or Farscape.

33 absolutely hooked me. I thought the mini was fine... figured I'd give the show a watch, what with it being right there on Friday with the Gates, but I wasn't expecting to fall for it. Then that ep was just so tight and suspenseful, an order better than than the mini - I kind of figured I was hooked, and it turns out I was right.
It still took me a while to warm up to some of the characters, like Starbuck and Apollo, which is kind of funny. And the Caprica stroyline did get a little draggy for me. But the overall storytelling interested me from the outset. And I liked Roslin and Adama from the get-go, too, which helped. And the Baltar and Six interactions.

Stop that!
For the record, I'm blown away by Six.
I'm kinda' meh on the whole sexiness of Six, but I love the fact that she's so religious.
Which I suppose is weird, given that I'm an atheist who's attracted to women.
