Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"  

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.

although how exactly they'll rationalize it...Well, this is Stargate

Heh.

I'm curious to see what they're going for with the Wraith.

BSG podcast: Yeah, I was kind of surprised to hear them mention Glowy Spine without, well, chagrin. I think one of them actually said, "Yeah, we haven't done that in a while..." Erm, and, really, you shouldn't ever again.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yeah. I was trying to figure out what kind of nature/nurture thing they were getting at in this ep. It kinda reminded me of the issues raised by Spike. Except SGA may actually go somewhere with it.

They could PCR the glowy-spine thing to attempted or successful procreation, and I'd buy it ok, given the contexts we've seen.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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.

Yes, I noticed that! That was very cool.

Art Crawl!!!

Hmmm, must notice that on my Monday night re-watch. Wasn't there a creepy moment in the pre-Season 2 special where TH went into Six-voice and JC reacted exactly like Baltar?

I read that the Ba'al actor is South African. Someday, when ita catches up, she's going to snark at us for thinking he was Aussie.

If I only had a brain...

Global rule, folks? Female light-up body parts never an improvement. There's a REASON God didn't install LED's.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

But Ba'al has always been a sexy thing.

The one-sided smile? OMG.

I think it's great EJO is so amped on his role and the show he's coming up with now! more mystical! lines. Sometimes I have to rein back the cynicism that a job is just a paycheck for actors.

Betsy -- doesn't it make you wish that these people had watched "She" before "re-imagining" BSG?

But, maybe they DID watch "She" and took the completely wrong lesson from it.

I read that "So say we all" was totally improvised. And look what happened.

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

I read that "So say we all" was totally improvised.

Yeah, they talk about that in the commentary to the mini. And all the cheering after that was the actors reacting to EJO's great improv.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

When lead actors really know how to lead, it's a very cool thing!
