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.
Stephanie -- I saw you already have a tape supplier, but Friday's Galactica re-airs Monday at 11 PM if that helps.
There've been a couple of other episodes I was underwhelmed by ("Final Cut") and... this may say too much about me, but I find it a tiny bit comforting, as well as disappointing. If I started thinking every episode was great, I'd worry that my crankiness was broken. My working theory is that when they wind up a multi-part story of coolitude, the next episode will be subpar.
I can't imagine that if the VP were running around looking that nuts, that something wouldn't come of it. It's caricaturish and uninvolving
Yeah, that was almost watch-from-the-hall for me. But re: people noticing, I think that in similar encounters in the past he's only been chatting with Six while walking past people in the halls. And he has gotten a few looks, but his behavior this time seemed much more likely to get attention.
Oh, yeah: so, in light of this episode, Roslin comparing Billy to President Adar now seems kinda suggestive.
[thinks, "Secret lair? I gotta get me one of those..."]
Check the real estate pages for for inactive volcanoes. I find that they're much cheaper to maintain than the underwater labs.
I haven't watched the deleted SG-1 scenes yet. I an, however, dissapointed that no one mentioned the long-term effects of all the teams staying ("temporal entropic cascade failure on the cellular level," to be exact.)
eta: Yay! it was thought of!
Yeah, it was mentioned by Sam in an aired scene.
I thought that BSG was pretty good. Not as good as the last two weeks but it can't be consistantly awesome. I loved Baltar healing Roslin to get out of being president and then giving Gina a nuke out of hurt feelings and spite. It's so Baltar.
I've had BSG Season one on my Netflix list for...okay...since the day it came out...with no love. Today a total stranger lent me his set. Suweet!
I'll never be caught up. But at least I'll be less behind than having only seen the mini. Again I say...suWEet.
I have mine lent out to a classmate. He's had them since September. I miss them so much.
I figured something out about SG-1. When Daniel and Teal'c went to see Janet, she asked where Jack was, as if General O'Neill were supposed to be there.
That means in that AU, Jack never left the SGC. However, that's the same AU where Sam is on maternity leave--and Janet implies that that's why Sam's not on SG-1 right now.
So if Jack is in charge of the SGC and Sam is, presumably, sleeping with someone, it can't be Jack. He's not going to be sleeping with anyone under his command, even if she's a civilian. Even Jack's not that crazy.
So, somewhere out there is a happily pregnant Sam, who I suspect is either with Pete or Barrett. Or maybe Narim...
Or maybe Narim...
Yeah, I was waiting for him to come through the ring at some point, too.
There's a limit to how many guest stars they can afford in one episode. Else surely Jack should have been on
one
of those teams. And Jacob, too.

Last night I saw the Episode of
Columbo
with '70s Baltar in it. Sadly, he was not the killer, just a PI that Columbo essentially blackmailed to give up info on the killer. Oh, and I am such an aviation geek - you know how in '70s TV shows, when they showed someone traveling by air, they often showed stock footage of the jetliner's landing gear extending (and then wheels touching the ground), filmed by a camera in the plane's belly? And how the stock footage of the landing gear is often from a completely different plain type than the plane they show landing? Like, they'll show a 727 landing, and cut to stock footage of a 747's landing gear extending. Well, on this episode of
columbo,
they showed the a character flying in a 727, but the landing gear footage was from a B-52 bomber, which has a very unusual landing gear configuration. Weird.
Anyway, re: the new Baltar - I'm wondering if his increased wackiness is because he's going down, and soon. Like his character's arc is playing out (at least in his current capacity of VP) - maybe we'll see Brig!Baltar for the rest of the season.
