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.
Finally got around to watching BSG. Agree this was much better than the two previous episodes.
You know what annoyed me the most? Lee's use of the phrase "out of the box." I realize that I never do this, but I am instituting a new rule for the universe - no more use of the phrase "out of the box," unless in a piece of fiction set in the year 2000.
Anyway. Maybe that's my little quirk. I also hated the abortion thing, until I realized that it wasn't about the abortion as much as the politics of it, which I can get behind (in a fictional space-opera way).
Next week looks like fun - Moore has been promising a Cylon POV episode for a while. I loved Reborn!Sharon yelling, "I'm a fraking Cylon!" That could be a tagline....
I thought it was a little cheesy that the bad commander gave his life to save the ship, pulling the last valve closed with his dieing... something. But, you know... suspense sometimes a part of TV, I guess....
the bad commander gave his life to save the ship
The thing is, I couldn't figure out why he didn't just stuff his coat in the hull breach. It would have at least bought him enough time. Or use one of those hole-plugger deals they have in the Raptors. You'd think they'd have a bunch of those handy in Engineering spaces.
Also, while I'm being excessively critical, I thought Lee should have been more forceful/louder in his orders once he assumed command. I kept waiting for the helmsman to say "Um, what was that, sir? did you say left?" Which incidentally you'd think would be "port".
Having said all of that, I still liked the episode; definitely much more than the two prior.
I was irritated that Garner had the death's head hovering over him from the moment it was apparent that Lee had been right. He was misguided, disrespectful, but noble. Ergo toast.
I like Dee less now, because I dislike Lee/Dee so much.
SG1 was fun. SGA will be forgotten the moment I'm done watching. Nothing caught me except how prettily tall Ronon is.
Oh, and I loved Starbuck's looks of terror around Lee. Does he not know she thinks she shot him? His dad does.
Does he not know she thinks she shot him? His dad does.
I totally expected her to say something about that when they had their little confrontation.
I'm still kind of sad Billy's dead, but I like the woman working for Roslin now. Even if she's no Billy.
Lee in charge of the Pegasus is going to be interesting.
FINALLY watched! That was some good show.
Lee taking charge of Pegasus for the first time? LOVED. His attitude was pitch-perfect, that combination of yes, knowing how to do this, but still being totally freaked out that it was actually happening.
I don't think he knows that Starbuck probably shot him, but I'm not sure she knows he doesn't know.
Baltar played Roslin brilliantly, and I love that the pro-choice candidate in this society is doing it because the voices in his head told him he could win that way. And the fact that he's mostly running out of spite, because Roslin told him in a letter that he wasn't perfect. It's just so deliciously fucked up.
Next week looks really interesting -- it could be brilliant, or it could fail utterly. We'll see.
I'm very happy to see
Lucy Lawless again.
And the fact that he's mostly running out of spite, because Roslin told him in a letter that he wasn't perfect.
And Zarek flattered him. And various Cylon babes want him to. I like how he has several different possible motivations.
So what have I missed on
Rottweiler?
It's a cybernetic dog, chasing down a fugative....
I saw Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason on tv tonight. It was very odd to see the Baltar-actor in that role. . . even though I knew that he played that character before.
I didn't realize that Lee doesn't know that Kara thinks she shot him. I think she shot him too. . . but I'm not sure it matters except to mess with Kara's mind.
I also love the multiple fucked up reasons that Baltar is running for president.
Yes, the Lee/Dee is making me like Dee less. . . and hey! if Dee is a Cylon than Gaeta probably isn't! (Bright side!)
