what plot wouldn't you sacrifice for armies of tight-butted young things all dressed in black leather?

In a distant future where everybody shops on Folsom Street...

like aliens that really look alien (or like Skeksis) and not like people with bumpy foreheads.

This was a MAJOR thing for me, and one of the main sources of my Farscape love.

Actually, my love of the show began in the premiere, when Crichton needed to do math and had no scratch paper: he flopped to the floor and did his math there. Probably something someone would really do in life, in a pinch; but you don't see it on TV much.

Heck, that he had to do math at all. This was another major draw to the show for me.

Along that same line, I keep meaning to check out Numbers, but I'm always working on Friday nights, and there's only so many shows my roomie can tape at once.

Even though I know how expensive it will be, I won't say "Wow, those are REAL aliens!" until I see a show where at least 50% of the aliens are something other than upright bipeds.

Yeah but the DNA Mad Scientist really moved and looked...alien. Though bipedal it had the elongated dog-joint going on for it.

That's definitely the next step, but getting away from bumpy noses and foreheads is a big thing.

Next we need a hyperintelligent shade of the color blue.

Well, the up side of having all aliens still have, e.g., faces and hands is that they're recognizable. Like, they're aliens, but we can still find a way to relate to them as emotive creatures -- harder to do if the alien in question is shaped like a slime mold.

I give a pass to the basic mammalian/avian/lizard earthly design of alien creatures, as long as they don't all look like people who fell down a clay cliff and right onto the screen. Even the Skarrans Mark 1, which were obviously actor + apparatus, didn't look like humans from the mid-chest up.

Zhaaan!

The Andromeda repeat tonight is the one where we discover that Bekah is the mother of all Nietscheans.

Just, fyi.

BSG;

Uhm. Holy frakkin' SHIT.

....

OMG, how the hell are we supposed to wait until July fer cryin' out loud?

That was a... crib of some sort that Baltar and Six were looking at in that Temple of Light, right? I don't know what the frak was going in there, but it sure was pretty. And that gorgeous music I loved in last week's teaser was repeated in that scene, except in a faster waltz beat. MUST HAVE THE SOUNDTRACK RIGHT NOW.
