I stayed up later to watch all of it. Never saw it before, so very fun, indeed!

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.
Large non-spoilery Tenth Doctor shot from Doctor Who S2:
I'll be in my bunk.
Question: The Existence of the Tenth Doctor isn't a spoiler here, right?
I posted this in Bitches, but It's also appropriate here, due to the part I've emboldened.
Ye Olde Geek Show Draws Thousands
SAN MATEO, California -- A high-tech version of an old county fair brought hundreds of inventors out of their garages this weekend, to show off such innovations as an iPod jukebox, a power-sander-turned-race-car and a vegetable-oil-powered supercomputer.
SCI FI Channel announced the development of Caprica, a spinoff prequel of its hit Battlestar Galactica, in presentations to advertisers in New York on April 26. Caprica would come from Galactica executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick, writer Remi Aubuchon (24) and NBC Universal Television Studio.
Caprica would take place more than half a century before the events that play out in Battlestar Galactica. The people of the Twelve Colonies are at peace and living in a society not unlike our own, but where high-technology has changed the lives of virtually everyone for the better.
But a startling breakthrough in robotics is about to occur, one that will bring to life the age-old dream of marrying artificial intelligence with a mechanical body to create the first living robot: a Cylon. Following the lives of two families, the Graystones and the Adamas (the family of William Adama, who will one day become the commander of the Battlestar Galactica), Caprica will weave together corporate intrigue, techno-action and sexual politics into television's first science fiction family saga, the channel announced.
Reading that made me scream "What the fuck?" a couple of times. Which alarmed a friend. I'm just going to assume that the "in development" part means that the blurb should not be taken all that seriously.
ION, skipping from "Epiphanies" to "Lay Down Your Burdens" makes S2 much less irritating. I wouldn't have skipped "Downloaded" except it was already midnight.
This:
television's first science fiction family saga
From the network that brought us Dune and Children of Dune? Not that either of those were any good, but still.
I'm trying not to prejudge. When "in development" turns into "picked up," then I'll worry.
Lost In Space wasn't a science fiction family saga on television?
Have we heard of a family called the Greystones? I wonder if the Cylon inventor is one of them?
(And Zap2it picked up the "Caprica" story.)
"By the power of Greystone... I have the power!"
A little bird told me that Caprica will air in Summer '07, between the 3rd and 4th seasons of BSG, and that Ron Moore is going to be heavily involved with getting the new show up and running (which may mean reduced involvment with BSG S4).
