They all seem pretty beaten down to me.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

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.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

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

Roslin's really the only one I empathize with when I watch. (Well, and now Caprica Six...) The others are just kind of there for me to enjoy the fucked-upness. And the occasional towel scene.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
For me, the question isn't whether it's lite or not, it's... well, it's whether I start seeing the sadistic hand of the creator, you know? I want to believe the universe really works this way, rather than seeing the author rubbing their hands together and thinking of another awful thing that can be done to the characters.
BSG has people in a pretty extreme situation, so you can go pretty far, but they've flirted with my personal line a few times. I could totally go for another nice French farce episode, or something.

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

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Captain Jack came off as kind of smarmy and sleazy
Yeah. That was my opinion. He felt like he was trying way too hard to be the lovable rogue.
Maybe it was all the talk about the episode being creepy around here, but it came across as just weird rather than creepy for me.

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

I agree! I didn't like Captain Jack at first either, but he grew on me.
