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.
Mal: You tell me right now, little Kaylee, you really think you can do this? Kaylee: Sure. Yeah. I think so. 'Sides, if I mess up, not like you'll be able to yell at me.

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 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!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Oh, fandom, with your logic which makes the insane trolls point and laugh.

Our wings are not tired.
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 all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
"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."
That was a fantastic line.
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."
Yup. I like individual Jaffa, but their overall storyline is blah.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I have a silly BSG question: what is the point of assassinating a leader if you're not sure how his followers will react? I think that's a stupid plan for both people.
Because, okay, Michelle Forbes clearly thinks she has a perfect handle on her people, and the Commander thinks his people are loyal to him (and more to the point, loathe Michelle Forbes). So, given that these hundreds of soldiers with guns have already had the opportunity to point them at each other, what makes either leadership think that its counterpart army will just quietly accept a violent takeover?
And, if you're gonna have a riot (to say nothing of a full-scale rebellion), do you really want a riot performed by people with combat training, who have access to lots of weapons? That way lies expensive CGI and flames, I think.
I think those plans needed a lot more forethought, and a lot more people (especially on Michelle Forbes's side). Doesn't anybody watch Crimson Tide any more?? The little yappy dog in that movie could come up with a better plan!
