Slight change of pace: a very fun Aliens Made Us Have a Threesome. SG-1, Jack/Sam/Daniel, very much NSFW. [link]

Betsy, I seem to remember that, but I am talking about the S10 plot points/spoilers being a bit ahead of the curve.

I mean, the spoilers could be legit, but they could be false for the actual storylines, not for the events that you mentioned that affect S9.

All I'm saying is those specific storylines for S10 are the thing I'm wondering about.

Does she have some particular horrible thing that she expects Kara to have to do in mind, though?

Yes, she's going to have to decide whether or not to support Cain. Again, the lead-in to that speech is Cain confirming that Starbuck & Adama are close (and that Starbuck does not get along with Tigh, for that matter). For Cain, the meaning is "Sometimes we have to do awful things. F'rinstance, I intend to execute two of your friends, and because he's getting in the way of that, I'm going to have your father-figure killed in a couple of hours. Don't let your personal feelings keep you from seeing that I'm doing What Must Be Done."

FWIW, Daniel, Gateworld is normally extremely reliable when it comes to spoilers. Chances are high that plot description came straight from the Stargate PTB.

Well, hopefully they notice fan reaction to the spoilers...

Would it be better to buy six seasons of HL individually for $30 each? Or this?

And would anybody like to buy six seasons of commercial VHS tapes? Anybody? Sigh.

I thought Cain was attempting to play on the mentor/role model she knew Kara saw her as in that scene, bidding for Kara's loyalty. Because she knew Kara would react to Adama's upcoming death, and she wanted her to come down on her side. It was a bid for understanding of the why things need to be done. And also, a setup for the occasion when Cain would have to ask a very difficult duty of Kara.

I didn't see it as a bid for assisted suicide at all.

I didn't see Lee's inertia as a bid for suicide either. I thought he'd just shut down, and wasn't making any attempt to save himself. Decision by default.

Six is Baltar's memory of the Cylon spy he fell in love with--Gina is the physical presence who began her life as a model Six, but was tortured by the Pegasus crew when she was discovered to be a Cylon. I think of them as two separate entities--moreso than Caprica!Boomer and Galactica!Boomer, actually.

And apparently I'm not very much emotionally invested in the SGs, because I just bob placidly along in the current of the storyllines, enjoy the pretty, and am not too exercised about where the plots are going. As long as there's pretty, I'm good.

Okay, my theory goes "splat", I think. Ah, well.

Brain-meltingly hot Cameron/Teal'c (no spoilers): [link]

I thought Cain was attempting to play on the mentor/role model she knew Kara saw her as in that scene, bidding for Kara's loyalty. Because she knew Kara would react to Adama's upcoming death, and she wanted her to come down on her side.

Now that I read what Beverly said, I think she is exactly right. The speech makes perfect sense in that context.

Of course, I happen to think that Kara would mind the deaths of LOTS of the people who would be in the CIC just after an attack. Not just Adama but other comrades and friends.

Wasn't there a plan to kill Apollo too? I mean, wouldn't it make sense? How much of that would Kara see as necessary? And what would make her start to work against Cain?

I think that Cain not fighting back was a better sign of suicidal tendencies. (I mean, surely she has a marine guard or two right around the corner? Wouldn't any shots fired have brought them running?)
