If I only had a brain...

Yeah, but Sam was wearing enough hair gel to keep Spike happy for a year. That adds weight, too.

I would like to point out that given the size of the space between planets in a galaxy, she's going to be one lucky lucky girl if she lands somewhere with oxygen.

Fortunately, she is mighty in the power of her Claudia Blackness.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Well, Sam's having to be the carrier of the SG-1 hair oddness for the entire cast, since Shanks shaved his beard.

Also, even if Vala died, she might not be dead. Not that I think she's dead. But, even if she were.

BSG should have won best opening sequence for the Tubeys.

The one Tubey award that I really, REALLY regretted was that Carnivàle didn't win for its opening sequence. That thing was a work of art, actually much more so than the series itself.

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

One part of the BSG commentary that made me laugh outloud - they were discussing the new CAG Birch, and how he screwed up... they mentioned that they probably won't have him back, as what are they gonna do with him? have the pilots make fun of him? Then one of the producers said, "We'll just mention later that he killed himself."

So how'd it go with the two of them commenting?

It was good. Moore's commentary usually pretty good, and the two of them interacting is really interesting. This was the first episode that David Eick wrote, so his perspective on this was interesting too.

Also, they joke around a lot, which is fun.

Yeah, I've listened to all of them so far, too, and I really enjoy them. It'll be interesting to hear them together. Huh, I missed the writing credit. I hope RM gets the time to go back and do the one he missed this season. Vacation, feh - whatever, dude. (Kidding. I actually think he's a total doll for doing them at all.)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

So...if anyone should happen to know of an LJ community which is geared towards helping BSG fans, ahem, obtain episodes of the latest season (for since such communities exist for VMars and SGA, it seems possible), could they maybe tell me? Can email me if you prefer - thingsinvisibletosee at gmail dot com.

Thrive to spite them

I watches SGA. I liked the episode. I really enjoyed seeing more of Ronan's backstory. He and Teyla are interesting together as friends. I was kind of shocked when Ronan shot what's his name, but I loved Teyla's reaction to his actions. ALso, she's right, none of the SG team would really understand and Weir might have made him leave.

As for the main story. Zelenka got more air time! He was great arguing with Rodney. I loved John being geeky. Rodney was an arrogant ass through most of the episode not listening to anyone and treating everyone like they are stupid, but I wasn't surprised by that. It seems to be his default mode of interpersonal interaction. He's so stubborn, and he wanted to be right so badly. If he just had a little more patience or faith in others...but then he wouldn't really be Rodney.

I was glad to hear Weir chewing out Rodney, but that it was through Ronan and Teyla, who didn't know what happened, but obviously they now know something went bad.

Rodny screwed up on such a huge level --- were they sure that the entire solar system was uninhabited? I know SG writers willd rop character development for humor, but I hope they follow up on the loss of trust between Rodney and John and the effect it will have on John and Elizabeth's relationship.

Haven't watched BSG at all this season, still haven't watched most of last season. The previews looked interesting.
