'War Stories'
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.
Netflixing doesn't care what I think and want to talk after.
And you know we all do, so... much better deal. Send me your address, and it's all yours. Profile address is good. (This should be an acronym by now. PAIG. There, now it is.)
Like I said, better crack dealer.
Oh, ha! I missed your original edit. And it was in bold, even.
And it was in bold, even.I've got mad quick edit skillz.
Also insent, because your PAIG.
Received, because my PAI, in fact, G. And backflung.
Ima see the mini. Ima see the mini. Ima see the mini.
Ehrm, got it.
And replied.
And off to bed.
So I saw SG-1, err, I mean, the show what says RELIGION IS BAD in all-caps.
... the hell?
Also, Daniel is Jack. Or, well, he's all Mr. Cautious Guy now that Jack isn't around to slap his hands when he gets near the cool alien technology.
I loved the byplay with Dr. Lee, though: Daniel sniffing his coffee? What, was he looking for alcohol?
Poor broken Orlin. But at least they didn't kill off Hammond.
I am completely in line with whomever decreed, "Hands off Unca George!" I was unspoiled and so squeed when I read his name in the credits.
As hot as the Daniel-Cameron tandem shooting was, the display of manly muscle arms walking down the too-narrow corridor in sleeveless shirts was very nice too.
I just want to take Galen Tyrol home and make him soup. And then feed it to him. Slowly. In any number of ...interesting...ways.
Jamie Bamber has some very nice arms his ownself, and he can be a hardass when being CAG calls for it. But I don't *like* Lee very much. And he can stay far, far away from Kara, as far as I'm concerned. And as I love Dee to pieces, although that scene was very hot, he can stay away from her, too.
And Gaeta can totally come home for soup, too.
By the end of the ep, the person I thought most needed a hug was Sharon. I kept thinking back to the other Sharon telling the Chief to think of the raider less like a machine and more like a pet, and it struck me that the battle, for her, must have been like watching her old friends gleefully kick puppies in the head. Poor girl.
Poor broken Orlin.
Can't they just put him in the Auto-evolver they found in the last ep and give him a brain capable of handling his enlightened self? Or is this not the type of show that sets things like that up for a reason? (It just about screamed "Gun in Act I!" to me, but then they didn't use it, so now I'm confused.)
I only just realized that this was an episode without Six -- at all -- and therefore nothing from Baltar's POV. Interesting.
I like that Apollo is, you know, pretty unlikeable. It's unusual to see that.
(Meanwhile, on tv: Nature about horses and riders.)
So I saw SG-1, err, I mean, the show what says RELIGION IS BAD in all-caps.
Well, blind obedience to beings that sap your life force and tolerate no dissent is BAD in all caps.
Especially when the beings being worshipped are the metaphorical analog to demons.
It's interesting (to me at least), though, that even Orlin uses "Orii" and "Alterans", because, to my knows-just-a-little-Latin brain, the language makes the Orii the first (Orii, Origin, it all starts here), and the Alterans/Ancients/Atlanteans the others (Alternate, secondary). Which is, well, a bizarre thing to have the etymology, especially 1) with the Religion/Science thing (the Orii came first, and the Ancients were looking for "another way", maybe?) 2) if they're not going anywhere with it
