Anya ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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.
Cain ordered the execution of Adama's entire command -- everybody in CIC. Total coup.
Yeah, I caught that -- not just a coup, but a coup enabled by a massacre. I still think it's all a bit too writerly/convenient to have the setup be exactly the same.
Anyone taking bets on the person with the gun to Caine's head in the promo being Lee instead Kara? Or are we all convinced it's Caine's XO? (What's his name, anyway?)
Fisk. Like Kingpin!
I do like that Adama's plan reeks of desperation and opportunity and quick in and out. Though not sure about the out.
Cain, OTOH, has an implied exit strategy, and she's not assassinating so much as establishing tight control.
Loved the Dan/Cam show on SG1, and I don't hate the Jaffa. Orlin was...weird. No love there.
Ronon is so fucking hot, and hidden knives? Yeah, sumi, good call.
"And the clowns?" "Clowns? Oh, yeah, the clowns. We fight them too--entire armies spilling out of Volkswagens. We do our best to fight them off, but they keep sending them in."
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? I laughed my ass off.

Wasn't it great (in a completely random way)? It was his delivery that sent me into fits, I think.
What I didn't realize until just now is that he already knew she was a plant at that point. Hence the wacky diversionary tactic. A la, "Look! Flying dead turtles!" So she thought he was crazy but not dodging her.
I loved the John's bit about clowns. Some people took that as more evidence that John is gay. Well that combined with his lack of interest in the planted chick.
The clown reference logic going: He's referencing Send in the Clowns! It's from a musical! John must watch musicals! Therefore he's gay!
Oh, fandom, with your logic which makes the insane trolls point and laugh.
Ronon was breathtakingly HOTT last night.
I loved the comparision/contrast of the Caine/Adama assasination plans. Same objective, totally different styles, and neither is going to come off as planned.
Oh, fandom, with your logic which makes the insane trolls point and laugh.

I need to start watching SGA, BSG, SG-1 from now on. I would appreciate the lightheartedness of SG-1 after the intensity of BSG. The staying up till midnight thing is tough though.
We watched Creature Comforts (on BBCA) right after BSG, which was a palate cleanser that I quite recommend....
I don't hate the Jaffa.
I don't hate them either, I just find them boring. I want to like them, I do -- and I like Teal'c, and I love Bra'tac. It's just that -- like pretty much all the alien races, I'm now realizing -- we never see them having any sense of humor unless they're interacting with humans. Why is that? Teal'c and Bra'tac have excellent senses of humor, but their dialogue with other Jaffa is all "We, we men of honor, doing serious and honorable things, speak with the seriousness of our noble ancestors (the Goa'uld's murderous thugs, that is, but don't get me started on that) and use no contractions, that we may show ourselves to be more serious."
