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.
In the original show, the Galactica was really old as well, then?
I don't think so - I think Galactica was pretty much the same as the other battlestars.
In the original, Galactica escaped destruction because Adama didn't trust the civilian leadership (who had sued for peace) so he kept his ship on alert or something. That was actually one of the annoying things about the original series - Adama was always right and the civilian leadership (here a councel of 12) were often wrong. So there was a strong pro-military, anti-civilian bias. I like the new show's way of dealing with this much, much better.
have finished Dr Who.
Oh, I hear you, tiggy. I wailed exactly the same thing at the end.
Bwah! "Crap, indeed." I think I'm going to end up liking Hermiod much more than Thor.
Funny how Sheppard had no trouble immediately trusting a friendly alien as long as she looked like Chaya.
I am very distraught.
next on my sci-fi agenda? get caught up with BSG. is there anything i should know about this show before i get attached?
It's getting better ratings than SG-1, so it's relatively unlikely that SciFi will be cancelling it within the next decade?
People seem to die a lot?
But sometimes they don't die! They just make you worried that they died.

But we know that they can't lose more than 48,000 random extras. It's nice that there's a built in limit in the opening credits.
That makes me think, should they be changing that bit each episode when people get killed? That would be a kinda cool and morbid bit in the opening credits.
Also, it's odd that SG-1 and SGA have the super short opening credits now.
should they be changing that bit each episode when people get killed?
They are. The number was 47,874 last night instead of 47,875 last week since we've lost that red shirt guy in Kobol last week. I'm now morbidly curious about the opening credit next week to see just how many people we lost in this episode because... wow. It was a fucking massacre.
New music on BSG. I liked the piano piece Starbuck played at her place, but it felt kind of instrusive at the end when it was repeated. Interesting insight into her character though, this revelation of her as an artist. Yay backstory!
