Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

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.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Was that the scene where you could see them flexing as he punched Starbuck for sleeping with another man?

No, no, the boxing scene. I believe the scene you were referring to was when he hit Starbuck after Starbuck hit him.

So I'm rewatching Stargate, and I'm thinking about how conveniently they just skimmed over what happens to the people in Ancient Egypt. They clearly don't go forward, though that'd be interesting... so I guess the options are: die in the revolt or live out their lives in ancient fucking Egypt. That's... ouch. But they just flashed us forward and went "Happy ending! Yay!"

Stargate is so weird.

Art Crawl!!!

You know Jack and Carter have, like, negative chemistry.

Also, EVIL cliffhanger!!! for Aquarium.

And I thought that was an excellent BSG!! I don't know, I love BSG, I tolerate SG1 and I enjoy Aquarium -- although if that wraith didn't kill off the new guy I shall be very very sad.

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

I think BSG is better than SG1, but if I had to dump one, it'd be BSG in a heartbeat. I don't well with the love and the cheering and get dopey buzzes from him.

Apollo's a dick, Starbuck's a dick, Adama's a git, Baltar's a loon, Galactica!Boomer's a whiner ... it doesn't make the narrative uncompelling (let me rather consider the opposite), but the character love is just not possible for me.

The urge to be in a Helo/Apollo sandwich, though -- uncompromised.

I love most of the characters and most of the stories so far on BSG.

SG-1 only inspires a meh-ish like from me, despite the fact that I've seen a lot of it, and don't think poorly of the show. Somehow it's just never really grabbed me.

BSG on the other hand, grabbed me from the start and hasn't let go.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Apollo used his position as Starbuck's commander to harass her about her choice of sexual partner.

SO SKANKY. Where did that come from, anyway? We've seen hints of attraction, but all of a sudden there's this completely inappropriate possessiveness. Dear Lee: It really isn't any of your business who Kara's screwing. If it's against regs for her to be screwing the VP--which it may very well be--then say so, and do it professionally. Otherwise, butt the hell out.

I really felt like there was an episode missing somewhere between Colonial Day and Kobol's Last Gleaming. Something to establish Kara sleeping with Gaius and Kara and Lee having weird tension (as opposed to the bouncy happy tension they had last week) and Boomer being suicidally depressed.

On a happier note, how 'bout that BB in dress blues, huh? (Warning, minor spoilers in the text.)

Rodney's face, when he realized what Sheppard was doing. Man.

I know! I feel more sorry for him knowing that he'll be getting his head taken off by Rodney when he gets back than I do about how he's sacrificing himself to save Atlantis.

Kara and Gaius had had a fair amount of pokery tension, hadn't they? Also, he's a slut.

Oh my god. About Katie's link:

Um. The beard. I didn't know about the beard. And it's freaking me out a little. Is it... will it, you know, go away? I mean, maybe it looks good. I don't know. I just was not expecting that third picture. At all. Wow .

BB looks wonderful. Can't believe I missed it.
