There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.

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?!!?

Yeah, that was seriously bugging me this episode. I can see why they don't lock him up and throw away the key, they have so few resources. But I already found it a serious strain to disbelief that they were allowing him to be the single failure point for finding Cylons (out of 50K people, NO ONE else is a lab tech capable of running DNA tests?), and now suddenly Roslin is arranging him to be VP?

I think part of the problem is that other people aren't acting as crazy as they should be. Each of these people is a one out of half-million people survivor; they have seen their entire would annhiliated, they are being driven into the endless dark with only a small chance of finding a refuge somewhere. Yet they generally act as traumatized as if they'd merely been ejected from a cocktail party. The newscasters this episode were particularly grating; you have two reporters and a broadcaster who in the last handful of survivors of their entire profession and all of the speak with the cheery fake hostility of a talk show host on Fox?

It's part of why the Capricia storyline is the only one I'm interested in; Helo and Boomer have real despair and desperate endurance.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

C Angel. F Steed (and also banter with him wittily). M Wash and live happily ever after.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Even Emma didn't M Steed.

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

Mix that one up a little -- I'd certainly C Angel, always would have. But if you threw Wesley in instead ... or god forbid, Gunn, then I'd be conflicted.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Even Emma didn't M Steed.

Well. Except in her last episode Mr. Peel was played by...

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

That FCM leaves me conflicted. Wash is the M, of course, but Steed is both so much less hot than Angel and so much more likely to leave one still breathing afterwards.

"My drink preference does not indicate my sexual preference. "

This makes me afraid there could be some
Jaffa flabotnum thing in 3,000 BC that gets
Original Recipe Tealc frozen in a sarcophagus
and thawed out just in time.
-Matt the Bruins fan

The way you said that, bring to mind the AU gang standing scared as a sarcophagus opens and Tealc sits up, Dracula style, before saying, "DanielJackson, do you happen to possess country fried chicken? I have not eaten in several thousand years and would appreciate the taste of Extra Crispy."

Art Crawl!!!

Okay, that's what I want to see this Friday!

All is well that ends in pizza.

Tealc sits up, Dracula style, before saying, "DanielJackson, do you happen to possess country fried chicken? I have not eaten in several thousand years and would appreciate the taste of Extra Crispy."

"um, yeah. Well....We have KFC. Is that ok? it's kind of off the base a bit."

OTOH? Teal'c could say "I'd like a pint of stout, please."

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Are we talking S1 Buffy Angel, where he's sort of mysterious and romantic? Or late season Angel where he's cooing into a crib? 'Cause that makes a serious difference in the F vs. C for me. It's M Wash either way.
