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.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I loved it. I don't think we were told a story - I think we were hint at the story to be. Honestly, I couldn't have watched the disinigration of the colonies over weeks - that would have been way too painful.

Adama and the choice. I think Adama has really taken the question " does humanity deserve to survive" to heart. What makes us worth being. I think with his military background, and the general religious background of the colonies - Truth/ honor , etc. are very important parts of humane humanity - the good parts in us.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I'm with beth--I think that they've done an excellent job of leaving us plenty of backstory to investigate next season, between what exactly happened between Lee and Kara to sever their ties to each other, what drove Tyrol (btw, did he look yummy in that full beard and glasses, or what!) to become a union leader, what got Kara and Tigh so huggy...oh, so many things I want to learn!

If I only had a brain...

Holy FUCK, that was brave.

I think Adama was standing up for a principle. If we steal elections we are no longer on the side of right. There has to be some line beyond which you will not go, or you can't honestly say you have a system of ethics. Note Laura's utter relief when she decides not to steal the election.

Is it Philip Marlowe who says that if you live outside the law, you have to be honest? Well, Laura and Bill have been living on the ragged edge of the law for a long time, and they finally found the thing they could not do.

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

I don't know about Marlowe, but Bob Dylan certainly did.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I've been meaning to mention a fanwank I had two weeks ago when they showed that Caprica!Six was in love with Baltar.

If they want to explain away the glowy spine thing from the pilot, they can say that Caprica!Six was in love, and being the first Six to do so, the glowy thing was never noticed.

I liked how the actress who plays Six showed us a Caprica!Six who was holding herself back from jumping Baltar right then and there. It was like "it's him! Him! Him! Him! Him! Baltar! It's Me! Me!!"

I was amused.

Then I'm sure it was Dylan I was thinking of.

Now I'm thinking of the attack montage with Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower," as done by Jimi Hendrix, played over it.

There must be some way out of here
Said the joker to the theif
There`s too much confusion
I can`t get no relief...

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yes. Yes, lots

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

My TiVo recording cut off just as Starbuck was replying to Tigh's question about what they were going to do--what did she say? What happened after that?

I...I am meh on the whole thing. I liked the election shenanigans, but didn't love them. And the one year later with the accelerated frump left me mostly cold.
