I think the Twilight Bark/LotR reference was supposed to be cute, but instead, it kind of made me cringe.
I thought it was funny that none of the others recognized the first reference but they all got the second.
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.

Maybe it was just me; it struck me as awkward. Plus, it's a room full of high level scientists/tacticians, etc. It's not like they wouldn't understand the oh-so-difficult concept of "relaying the message" without the aid of a pop-culture analogy.
Or possibly I'm so disgruntled with the whole episode overall that I'm pissy with the smallest detail.
Sometimes people are called on to make sacrifices, and I guess this is your time.
I shall try to bear it with grace. Eventually.
I suppose you can take comfort in knowing that he's not with Sam anymore.
Aw, no. I loved them together, or almost together. If ever a ship was shipped by me, it was the Good Ship Sam/Martouf.
Blurring eyes for previous posts because just getting to watch now....
Interesting backflashy stuff.
Hmmm, I think that's 8 deaths from the beginning of the last episode.
And just a little over 3 months from the initial attack.
Oh! Der. She's seeing Baltar with Six in her flashback. Eeeenteresting.
MARTOUF!!! (belatedly)
I saw Teryl Rothery's name in the credits, but missed the guy who plays Martouf. If I even know his name. He's looking very tan and white-teethed.
I really hate how coy they're being with Sam and "oh, hey, you've hooked up with Jack in every possible universe". We get it. Honestly. No longer funny.
I thought the whole "twilight bark" bit was amusing, though.
And BAD montage. No one thought this would be a bad idea? No one? No one said, oh, for the love of god, let us not end the episode with Teyla singing a faux-native song celebrating death?

I haven't seen it yet, but I walked through a couple times during the singing. Huh? The sound change was odd to understate.
OK, that was a weird little promo.
