Where did the Cylons come from?
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

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

edit to get the right quote - I think.

Nevermind. Just low on patience this morning.

It's a stasis leak!
Speaking of which, I get all involved in the series, and come to find out, seasons seven and eight won't be released on DVD until February! What kind of cruel world do we live in?

So I just rewatched BSG. Here's something weird: Before Adama tries to kill Boomer, we get those flashbacks (that annoyed me at the time) of Galactica!Boomer shooting Adama, and of Adama asking Corpse!Boomer, "Why?" After Adama tries to kill Boomer, Boomer says to him, "You ask 'Why?'"
So Caprica!Boomer says she has no memory of Galactica!Boomer shooting Adama, or what happened to Galactica!Boomer afterwards (and this seems to be the case, as she's genuinely shocked to find out that Galactica!Boomer was murdered and that Cally only got one month for it.) But yet, Caprica!Boomer remembers what Adama said to Galactica!Boomer when she'd been dead for days (or weeks).
WTF? And I mean WTF in a good way....

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
tommyrot, apparently the podcast reveals that Moore admits the line makes no sense. EJO suggested it, or something.
I interpreted it to mean "You wonder why the Cylons want to kill you all?"

Our wings are not tired.
I loved the creepy of that line too much for it to make no sense. It works for me for Caprica!Boomer to have some knowledge of the other Boomers.

Thrive to spite them
I've watched Bastille Day and I'm downloading s1 ep4. I'm not watching any of the current BSG until I watch last season, hopefully I'll get caught up by the time they come back from hiatus.
I was very meh on SG1, mostly because I really haven't watched it.
SGA was good. I just have really shallow thoughts. I was pleased to see Rodney acting competent with a weapon, when it was just him and Dr. Beckett, he had his gun out while Dr. Beckett was wandering around without his. Athough Beckett did shot Ellea. Rodney and Ronan must be bonding over food.

They do, also that they thought it was cool/creepy/mystical. Just, you know, they couldn't exactly explain it if you were to ask. Glowy spine sex, anyone? (Well, not exactly the same thing, I guess. Still.)
I didn't even realize that's not what I was supposed to be thinking. Starbuck really seemed to think they were on Earth. That's what it felt like to me.
I think Starbuck knew they weren't on Earth; she was just the first to click on, "Oh, this is what we'd see from Earth," which is itself pretty moving -- if we eve make it to this place, this is what we'll see. (Not that you can see all of the constallations at once, but, yeah, whatever - close enough).
Hologramish thing.
The beat where Six tells Baltar she's just his subconcious torturing him, and they both stand up at the same time, her mirroring his movement - brilliant. Maybe/maybe not intentional, but brilliant.
The opening scene was great; shades of KLG I. This show really just rocks my world.
Atlantis: When Shep said, "Don't make me do this," he played that nicely; I got a little choked up there. So, er, he's gonna have problems from the attempted feeding, huh? I have to rewatch the whole thing. I was very distracted during.
Stargate: The scene with Cam handing out the patches. Sweet. Ba'al's suddent Aussie (er, or whatever it is; I'm reading in Katie's lj comments that it's S.A.? Anyway, it threw me) accent - hilarious (in that I'd not heard his actual voice before what with the being a Goa'uld). And, oh, so sexy. But Ba'al has always been a sexy thing.
Phew. And with that, I'm officially caught up with Sci-Fi Friday.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The other thing I distinctly remember from the PodCast is further mention of the glowing spine thing. It may not be as dead as we thought/hoped.
On Atlantis, I think we're going to have a triple-echo resnance with Ford, Ellea, and John (next week), especially with the "don't make me do this" Jen, I think the problem's going to be from the blood mingling, and the virus (although how exactly they'll rationalize it...Well, this is Stargate)
