Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think it was facinating to see 6's response to her mutilated copy. They have to have seen their copies killed many time's over, yet this repsonse and her need to help her was very intresting.

I find myself wondering if we'll see her again, because I thought this ep clarified that she is, and has always been, merely a figment of Baltar's tortured imagination. When he says that he's "quite literally never stopped thinking about her," he's admitting to himself that he's not special, there's no Cylon chip in his head, he's simply half-mad and it's time to deal with that. (Dealing with it by trying to form a bond with another copy of the same Cylon model who he knows nothing about is probably not the smartest move, but then, none of the Galactica crew are known for choosing rationality over emotional instinct.)

If I only had a brain...

she is, and has always been, merely a figment of Baltar's tortured imagination.

But hasn't Baltar!Six known one or more things that Baltar could not know?

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

But hasn't Baltar!Six known one or more things that Baltar could not know?

I don't think so. I heard somewhere (maybe in Moore's commentaries) that Baltar!Six never tells him anything that he could not have intuited by himself. After hearing that, I've been keeping an eye out for anything that contradicts that and haven't found anything....

...EXCEPT for the recent Boomer Baby thing, where she tells him "their baby" will be born in that cell before Boomer is brought there. Not sure what to make of that.

Life is eternal, Love is immortal, and death is only an illusion.

Question still is what happened to the real six everyone saw when she tried to get back at baltar.

Imaginary six disappeared when she appeared. Adama and everyone saw her. So where is she?

Yeah, they never addressed that. They did mention that she wasn't even seen leaving Galactica. It's as if she vanished into thin air.

I wonder where they're going to go with that. My guess is that they don't know either.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Being too large to pass for a toaster, she is happily ensconced in the kitchen, impersonating an industrial dishwasher.

Her time to shine will come -- during the rinse cycle.

Strawberry disappointment.

It would be cool if she could appear to anyone she wanted, but has stuck with Giaus, apart from that one episode. Nice can o' worms there.

'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"

I note as far as a woman 'condoning' rape (and torture), the CO of the Abu Ghraib prison was female during the period that has been prosecuted. (Aside from reassignment, she wasn't brought up on charges or anything, as is true of any other officers who could be construed to have command of the situation.)
