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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

For the second week in a row, TiVo cut off BSG early. Nooooooo!!!

Trust my rage

I don't think aborted babies look like that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

When they had the Cylon baby about to grow up with human parents, with neither the parents nor the child to know what she was - was anyone else reminded of Moses?

Speaking of which, when/how did Moses learn of his true parentage?

eta: Although Moses's adoptive Egyptian mom knew he was an Israelite....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't think aborted babies look like that.

The lady from last week looked a lot less pregnant than Boomer was, and would they have performed an abortion if the fetus had been that viable?

I do want to know where the kid came from--did Sharon end up touching it in her grief?

I think she just barely touched it before she was dragged away.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I wonder if it was the child of the woman who received Sharon and Helo's child? Perhaps her baby died, giving them the perfect opportunity to switch kids. I mean, she's going to have to explain to her friends where the kid came from. It would help a lot if she'd been pregnant prior to bringing home the baby. She seemed very grateful for the opportunity.

Definitely. We even talked about it while we were watching it.

I wonder if it was the child of the woman who received Sharon and Helo's child?

This makes a lot of sense to me. I think the woman's name was Maya. Anyway, if Maya had just lost a baby, she'd be very receptive to taking in a new one (I think) and no one would ask too many questions about where it came from.

I thought that Xena said that Six was the only Six on the planet

I thought she said CapricaSix was so famous it was like she was the only Six on the planet.

Yeah, on rewatch, that's what she said.
