It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh, that should go to a download link for an AVI file that you can play in Windows Media Player or any compatible player. It doesn't include the teaser for the new season, unfortunately.

Huh, I wonder why my WMP isn't showing it? Okay, just wondering if it was just me. Have to do some poking around I guess.

Maybe you need DivX and/or other codecs?

Ergh, it is a weird AVI format. OpenDML AVI

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

BSG makes another "Ten Best TV Shows" list:

‘Galactica’ is out of this world
Why does the new “Battlestar Galactica” (Fridays, returning in 2006, SciFi) work so extraordinarily well? Because it’s more than the sum of its parts: more Beckett than sci-fi, and far more than just a great reconsideration of the beloved (but cheesy) ‘70s original. Quite simply, there’s nothing like it on TV. That said, the revisions are brilliant. Fans balked when Starbuck was recast as a woman (Katee Sackhoff, with her sexy mix of swagger and lost-little-girl), but “Galactica” works far better with the women in charge — the good (Mary McDonnell’s President Roslin), the bad (Tricia Helfer’s Number Six) and the conflicted (Grace Park’s Boomer, a Cylon with a heart of gold). That the robotic Cylons look human and harbor far more piety than their flesh-and-blood counterparts allows the show to adopt a “Twilight Zone”-like philosophical edge.

There’s more. Ron Moore and writers craft flawed characters and terse dialogue that give Aaron Sorkin (“West Wing”) a run for his money. The humans-hunting-for-home theme resonates with its chilling post-9/11 sensibility – as does the endless military-civilian tension, which never descends into the obvious. Tack on a flawless cast (Edward James Olmos’ Adama has a cranky gravitas that eclipses Lorne Greene’s original, I must admit), quietly dazzling special effects and a deliberately outmoded production design — right down to those old-fashioned phone handsets—and you have the makings of a show almost too good for television. Thank the gods someone had the guts to make “Galactica” fly again. —Jon Bonné

Hey, I know Jon! I owe my employee-discount copy of Office to his good graces.

Compassionately intolerant

immortals decapitated by trains

Most allergy inducing episode evah.

And how weird is it that when I tried to link to imdb for Pruitt Taylor Vince's role as Mikey in The Innocent, it wasn't there. Not listed at all. Huh. Makes me wonder what else he has been in that didn't make the list.

Loved, in a painful, aching way, his work in Heavy.

All is well that ends in pizza.
