Isn't it funny that Jill Teed plays the copper in BSG AND in Smallville?

I knew she looked familiar! (Oh, also, because she's been on Smallville before...as the same character. What do you know. Continuity. Creepy.)

It took me a couple of minutes, but I finally realized that I'd been dreaming a BSG/Firefly crossover.

Ha! It must have been a night for weird dreams, because I dreamed the next episode of VM was about Lamb's backstory.

P-C! I was going to IM you and let you know how you have corrupted me. I have now watched all but the most recent VM pretty much straight through. Today I will be up to date. Now I have to skim 700+ messages in the VM thread.

I still think that marathon watching is the way to go. It will be sad now to get the fixes in single episodes. Also, thank you for your relentless pimpage. It was quite the marathon ride.

Yay! I'm glad you liked it. You are welcome for the pimpage.

I saw an Immortal drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's.

AN Immortal or THE Immortal?

Huh. Apparently Atlantis is in syndication already. Somehow I'd missed this, but at least it means my pals who have no cable or broadband can watch it.

"TGIF...Again" tonight. This "one Farscape a week" is getting to be...not enough. I'm not addicted yet, but I'm itching to get to the really good stuff. There was so much character development in this one. Aw, Aeryn learned science! Aw, Pilot thinks he's stupid! Aw, D'Argo wants to be happy! Aw, Zhaan wants to fuck everyone! Wait, I knew that already. Rygel is still a plot device.

I see now what DebetEsse was talking about regarding the alien guest star. Talk like a person, yo.

One thing that bugged me that characters do all the time on television is Crichton's not telling Aeryn what was up the first time. Like, how hard is it to say, "D'Argo and Zhaan are drugged up from the food"?

Another thing that's been bugging me is the strange disconnectedness between episodes. Like...where are they going ? They just keep Starbursting from place to place. Aren't they going to run out of resources eventually? While the character arcs (and look at the continuity with Sebaceans not being able to stand heat!) are progressing nicely, the plot arc is...not. I know it's early, and I know it'll kick in eventually, but I'm just making observations as a new viewer who's wanting to see what all the hype is about.

Well, the crew isn't really going anywhere at this point. They're rather like Serenity, only without a captian or particular contacts on planets (so, nsm with the "jobs"). IMO, they'd be well-served to get Rygel to Hyneria, but, well, I never liked him much. The thing is, there's absolutely no destination they can safely be planning on going to. Does that make sense?

So, it's not really until something other than "Run from Crais and the Peacekeepers" that anyone's going anywhere in particular.

White Chick is, in my head, the most egregious example of Alien Talk Overachievement. So, it's as bad as it gets, as far as I remember.

All the better to get him to Hyneria, so they can get him off the damn ship!

The thing is, there's absolutely no destination they can safely be planning on going to. Does that make sense?

It does. It just makes things feel...floundering and directionless. Which I suppose is the point. At least with Serenity, they had jobs and whatnot. Here, it's like they just randomly encounter adventures for no particular reason.

Except for the bit where they'd likely all be killed

Here, it's like they just randomly encounter adventures for no particular reason.

My semi-wank is that we just get to see the interesting bits, and not the weeks or months of boredom in between. I always kinda wondered what they did when they weren't all about to die.
