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.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

But does she have independent reality? It seemed last week like maybe she did.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

There are other cylons out there that are the same model, but there is only one in his head, as far as I can tell.

Huh. So there's, like, Gothy Wraiths and BurlyWrestler Wraiths?

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

Weir really ought to stop giving those little pep talks.

I guess I'm a bit confused by things like the preview for this week's BSG. Does she know things he doesn't? She certainly seems to be following the Cylon agenda. Ah, well, maybe one day I'll catch up and figure it out for myself.

And why are the Marines wearing unAmerican helmets?

If I only had a brain...

If I pick only one, do I want Stargate SG-1 or Battlestar Galactica?

Our wings are not tired.

SG-1 has proven itself to me. BSG is promising, but I'm not in love yet.

Do you prefer relentlessly grim (BSG), or lighter fare (SG-1)?

Remember that Ben Browder joins the cast of SG-1 next year, and Claudia Black will be recurring.

Pick one to start watching, you mean? Depends on what you're looking for. Off the top of my head, I'd offer:

SG-1:

Jack

Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's sort of touching, and often it's interesting.

Lighter fair - not risky or edgy.

You really have to commit to get through the unevenness that is Season 1 (but a couple of the eps are among my favorites. Also, there will be more unevenness, but it's glaring in S1).

Must be willing to handwave often, and lose the w-h-y word a lot (this might be the case for BSG, too, but not too bad so far. Except for the glowy spine thing. Well, OK, and some other things).

Odd costuming choices

The odd costuming choices are more than made up for by the black T-shirt and Tanks of Rowrrr from time to time.

The team is just... well, love.

I adore it.

And to close: Jack

(P.S. Ben Browder in S9, which just kind of has to be a plus)

BSG:

Tighter (but, there are only 13 eps so far, so tighter is a bit easier, I guess)

Dark, tense

Better music, and more visually interesting so far.

There's the getting in on the ground floor aspect, if that means anything.

But no Team of Awesomeness.

Hard to say what with only 13 eps, but I thought the 13 ep run was well done.

I suspect I will continue to love it.

(If I had to give up one for the other, BSG would be gone. I ♥ SG-1, and I can get my dark on elsewhere. But I love having this new, dark, interesting BSG thing to watch, too.)
