'Objects In Space'


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.

Also, the spooky miracle child in the crib (well, maybe she's not there yet as I think the whole temple scene was a vision of future to come) was a girl!

Hmmm, the miraculous birth of the scary little girl?

Speaking of the music, does anybody know if the dame omposer worked on Firefly? Because this sounds like the direction they were going in. That composer did some good work, and it would be nice if he's still working.

Not seeing any connection of Greg Edmonson's name with BSG, but his IMDB profile (for what that's worth) lists his further work. I find Richard Gibbs for the BSG mini and some of the S1 eps (it may be all of them, I don't know).

Also, the BSG mini has a CD soundtrack available according to Amazon. I did not know (or at least remember) this. I think I may get it. I hope they keep up the trend, because I really want the stuff from the final two eps especially. Also the opening theme from the UK airings.

I'm still hoping for the Firefly TV series music to come out on CD. Is this a pipe dream, do we think?

I thought it very ironic that Tigh would accuse Lee of mutiny while he himself was carrying out a coup.

This is part of what I'm enjoying - people staking claims (for leadership, moral rectitude, power to decide future action) on grounds of shifting sand. Or quicksand. Whatever - insert your visual of choice. Shaky ground. They're all on shaky ground while trying to continue with an old model of how things are done that seems pretty fragile in practice, and it's freaking them out. (Not all that different from real life some days. Ick. I just depressed myself.)

oh so nice to see Starbuck hug Helo

Yes! I loved this, and it was weird, because neither character up to that point had grabbed me. Put them together, though, and they sparked -- not shippily, just two friends who can finally let out their breath in each other's company. It was a great scene.

because my dormant Lee/Roslin 'shippy tendency was near death by starvation

I share this tendency, too, and I hope they feed it more in S2.

Ahem. dl is not my friend. I bottle too much up, apparently, and then it explodes all over the posting box.

So I snaked Daniel Jackson. Can't say he didn't deserve it. [link]

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I am unfamiliar with this "snaked" term.

It's from Stargate. The Big Bad Aliens are actually snake-like parasites who take over your body by curling around your brainstem.

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

So, not like a plumber snaking out a drain, then?

I saw an ad for some new thing from Barilla -- where you buy two sauces at once, and I think that the woman in the ad was Six. Odd.

(OMG, I am completely incapable of spelling today. Or possibly of typing.)

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

Finally got around to seeing BSG (TiVo has made me lazy).

Isn't it interesting that the Cylons just let Galactica!Boomer nuke their base star, only to (presumably) activate her to shoot Adama? Maybe they felt they could afford to lose a base star (and loose control of Kobol) if they could kill Adama in the bargain.

Or maybe the Cylons just wanted to disable Adama. Their plans tend to be pretty inscrutible.

Oh, and I like how Cylons just go cheerfully to their deaths. Must be their faith in reincarnation (or whatever you'd call it).

Which made me think -- didn't they establish that when one of the human-form Cylons dies, their essence/memories get transported to the nearest copy of that model?

Which means that Galactica!Boomer, at the moment of the blast, got a download of possibly dozens of her clone-sisters' memories. Didn't she?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Oooh, Suela, I didn't even think of that.

Adama cannot be dead. But he sure was doing a damn good impression there sprawled across the console.

I get the discomfort some people have with his staging a coup - but on the other hand, they're in a pretty fucked situation, and the president is taking psychotropic drugs and having hallucinations that she takes as direction from the gods. I'm not sure he would know about the hallucinations - do we know how open she's being? But her new found religious conviction has to have been setting off some alarms. Still glad that Lee at least saw the dangers there.

Assuming Adama does survive - might be have more than one dying leader right now?
