The mental disconnect I get seeing a bug-eyed gray alien called Thor is a bit too much for me to handle for long.
Hologram technology. Masks a multitude of sins.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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.

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

I can watch Stargate for short whiles, until the silliness makes me have to run away. Actually, Stargate #2 is far lower on the silliness scale, except for the "I sat way, way too long under the hair dryer with dye on" aliens, because they are so ridiculously OTT.
The failure of everyone around him to realize that Baltar is (a) terribly sleazy; and (b) completely nuts is quite possibly my biggest beef with the show after the major worldbuilding issues.
This is what made me give up on Galactica. (Much as I like the word: Galactica! Galactica! After enough repetitions, it turns into Galarraga and Blacula and wakka-wakka.) Like, there were all those people who hated the Seinfeld character and loved to watch the show; I hated the Seinfeld character, and was like, Why would I watch a show about this jerk? So I didn't.
Nice biceps just can't make up for people being annoying.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Colin Baker (Blonde Doctor, frizzy hair, clown clothes) has physically changed radically. I realize he's 20 years older, but woah.
Perhaps he's suffered some deleterious effects from the ill wishes of millions of Doctor Who fans? Dude was Not Popular.
Yeah, he was an ass. But [link]

Woah.

Eh, I'm not too shocked by that much change in 20 years, given that he wasn't a young man back then. From what you'd said I expected to see the Cryptkeeper or Robert Conrad.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'd so knock a battery off Robert Conrad's shoulder now.

And man, 10 years ago he was looking good for his age in that Search and Rescue series. Apparently all the extra years' worth of aging Lauren Bacall and Catherine Zeta Jones should have suffered got deflected onto him instead.

This is what made me give up on Galactica.
I apparently have the lowest standards in the world or something. I like the show and the characters a lot.

Thrive to spite them
I like Galatica and really should watch it. For me Baltar is watch from the hall at all times and I keep waiting for someone to figure out he's partial insane and being driven by a Cylon or the spirit of a Cylon and jettison him.

I'm just mad that Starbuck slept with Baltar. But then that's mitigated by the fact that she just used him for sex.

Our wings are not tired.
Which just proves her point that she's a screwup, because really there are a number of better choices than the insane Baltar.
