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.
The Might Stalker
Ha! Well, I might stalk you, but then again, I might not.
The only reason I've even heard of Kolchak was the X-Files. It's somehow indicative of the trends of Hollywood, that it's possible to consider Darren McGavin -> David Duchovny -> Wossname Prettyboy some kind of historical throughline.
From a post on Twop:
In "Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down", Roslin was contemplating not that Adama had been a Cylon all along, but that he'd been replaced by a Cylon duplicate at some point.
Okay, I knew I wasn't crazy. I think I took Roslin's spec to be a real possibility. So Roslin's spec has been rule out?
So Roslin's spec has been rule out?
Well, in my mind, the only reason it hasn't been is that writers in general need to be beaten with Occam's Razor. Within the text of the show, it's entirely possible that (a) nobody's gone through the thought-process we've gone through, and (b) everybody's a lot more unreasonably paranoid than we are.
(a) is particularly annoying a factor, especially as the writers persist in positing cylons as able to pass as people -- except in an MRI, CAT scan, X-ray, or any other major medical scanning technique. Hello! One tuberculosis screening, and the game is up!!
They have Sharon in prison. You'd think she would tell them a version of what the cylons have planned. Her loyalties are divided, but she should be able to answer this question definitively.
I think that poster is referring to this bit from "Tigh Me Up":
Billy: Madame President, with all due respect, I cannot believe that we're actually entertaining the idea that Commander Adama has been somehow replaced by a Cylon duplicate.
It's the same way Helo initially reacted as if there was a "real" Boomer somewhere and the one he was with on Caprica was a copy. It is reasonable for the characters to be confused about the issue. We know more than they do. If they could duplicate humans exactly, that'd be a pretty useful thing to do. Since they haven't, I assume they can't. Plus, if they could do that, we'd have to assume they can copy human memories somehow, and if they can do that... they win.

OTOH, humans get to live forever.
Sorta.
Okay, I admit to being a bit confused. Strega, that's a little clearer.
FWIW, most of the people I know who watch the show (but do not talk about the show on message boards) also believe that the cylons could have replaced someone as an adult.
To wit: I just had a discussion with Beau about this and he didnt believe it either.
Smallville: I didn't watch the premiere (BF didn't Tivo it grrr) but we just started watching from the beginning - reruns on Saturday afternoons. I could not believe the HoYay! I mean, I know the show is held up as the ultimate yay-fest but really, it's hysterically absurd. The truck gift after mouth to mouth ! "I don't want anything to get in the way of our relationship" ! The box+pretty necklace inside gift !
Also, about this season's premiere, isn't JM the new Big Bad ?
ETA I know it's not considered spoilery for 5 years ago but whitefont is fun.
He is Brainiac. .. but Lex is also rather big baddish now. Or so the premiere would have us believe.
Who was Lionel channelling?
