You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Yeah, Eccleston is lean, but Tennant is almost dainty in comparison - except that he doesn't have the whip-cord eat-a-damn-sandwich feel that James Marsters sometimes has. Would sinewy be a good word for Tennant?

Thrive to spite them

I have a question about S2 ep 3 ---

I'm not sure I want to be spoiled for the emotional stuff, but I'm dying to know -- is it just a one shot Sarah Jane episode or will we see more of her?

If I only had a brain...

Askye, They haven't committed either way. They were obviously very pleased with her work based on the Confidential; on the other hand, the ep was very much written as a farewell.

In other words, I haven't heard any spoilers that involve her coming back this season.

Over at the lj BSG community (the community -- Ha! like there aren't millions of lj BSG Communities) -- one of the members asked why there weren't any male sexbot type cylons and somebody suggested (as I was going to) that perhaps LEOBAN might be on that sort of mission. (It was his search for Starbuck that made me think that. . . well, that and, you know, CKR.) I mean, unless you assume that he was looking for her to assassinate her or something. He was the one who suggested that she had some sort of destiny, right?

why there weren't any male sexbot type cylons

'cause a man invented them?

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

'cause a man invented them?

Well, technically a Cylon invented them.

I thought that the human-type cylons were developed by other cylons?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

If you figure that human-Cylon reproduction was one of their big goals, I can see where having the Cylon in that equation be the female would make the whole thing easier to control. (Didn't work in Sharon's case, since she kind of defected, but I can see where a Cylon male impregnating a human woman would have been even trickier from the Cylon POV, in terms of ending up with the baby.)

I kind of like the theory that Leoban is the male sexbot. I don't see it as particulary suported by anything textual. I just like thinking about it. Hmm... perhaps I overshare?

Why should there be? I don't understand the the basis of the question.
