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.

I agree that they could have spaced out "Black Market" and "Scar" better. But there was plenty that I liked: I loved that conversation between Starbuck and Boomer. I loved the Helo-Starbuck interactions. The pretty flippy ships!
Cat is an annoying character. . . or am I just seeing her from Starbuck's POV? I did like it when she actually did stuff that showed she could and wasn't just a loudmouth.
I think that they actually did need to show that Kara hadn't forgotten Anders (whatever you might think of him) -- but why right after last week? Perhaps they should have shown Scar last week, re-thought Black Market and shown it later or maybe, had a different vehicle that shows more examples of Apollo being messed up even before the whole blackbird thing.
(I'm very sad that they don't have the blackbird - - should they be making another one?)
SG1- it was very odd to see the Cylon PR guy. . .and SGA was totally "Look at the Princess".

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Also, I dislike the whole notion of someone like Starbuck, who's got so much interesting complexity of her own, being reduced to incompetence because she's pining fer frak's sake. Bah.
Thing is, so does she, which is what I liked about it. I don't think the ep would have suffered without Anders in it, but I liked that her reaction to the flashbacks was also "WHAT THE FRACK! STOP IT!"

The Blackbird was so very actually useful, I don't see why they're not trying to replace it. Especially because they have Spaceship Designer Guy from the Pegasus to help it be even better.

I'm willing to handwave that they might not have all the right materials to hand to set up a regular production line, because it might make it way too easy to get the drop on the Cylons plotwise. But it would make sense to replace it if they at all could, or at least give us a reason why they can't.

This. One line during a tactical meeting about "Production of the new Blackbird still behind schedule" would do it.

Would that be because we wouldn't shut up all hour long??
Not only was SGA a lame retread of LATP, but next week's SGA looked like a giant ripoff of "A Bug's Life."

Wait, Charmed ISN'T for guys? Why the overwhelming focus on Alyssa Milano's bust, then?

Well.. it wasn't like I didn't enjoy it! Just it's not the best way to quietly contemplate the episodes. :-)
