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.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Hey, Suela, on the off chance that you see this before checking your e-mail do not read the comment in your LJ from ixchup, as it spoils the second half of Moebius in a bad way.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm with you Sean on the big Starbuck love. So many of her scenes could have come off OTT, but she pulls it off so well. In particular, the episode where she gets stranded on the planet and pilots the icky ship, I would have thought it impossible to make me buy that but she did such a good job. Starbuck rocks hard.

eta: a little tipsy and exhausted so without the ability to properly reference episodes. The point being that she is so often written in a way that more than challenges believability, and I not only cheer her, but believe that she makes it happen.

Am I the only one kind of wanting them to just pick up with the new adventures of DivergentTimeline!Sam and Daniel, and not go back to restore the old continuity? Just think, we might never have to watch another Replicator or Oma episode!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But divergent Sam and Daniel lack charisma. Don't want that, nor to watch them learn charisma.

I hate the idea of AU characters feeling "there must be a better way" and that better way being the standard universe -- when it's played as a nod to the supremacy of standard -- if it's hand in hand with everyone wondering if they could be bigger, stronger, faster it doesn't bother me.

I have just determined that the vanity plate "FRELLED" is available in California.

Edit: so is DREN. FRELL, however, seems to be taken. Anybody got other science-fictional bad words?

Frack?

Don't they swear by "Shards" or something on Pern?

All is well that ends in pizza.

What exactly is that speech impediment AU Sam has? Is it simply an elocution issue? Or is it something "normal" universe would have gotten fixed surgically. or maybe she had a retainer in too long growing up. I dunno.

I got the feeling it was more behavioral and less medical.

I like how by the second half of this season the BSG people have realized that showing off Apollo's arms is a good thing.

The Caprica scenes were really good. I liked some of the stuff with the fleet, but surely everyone has noticed that Baltar is insane by now?!!?
