Oh, and Animal Planet is continuing the parasitical theme tomorrow night.
I know what I won't be watching tomorrow!
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

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.

Weir namechecks the Ori, so it seems she's at least been briefed on the threat. But they've never staged any operations in the Pegasus galaxy. She's probably just heard about them secondhand while the Wraith are a very real threat to her.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
...haven't seen the majority of SGA Season 2, but I'm more-or-less aware of what happened in it. Just ahemed 3 01, though.
Weir still leaves me pretty 'eh, whatever'.
I liked the bit where, after listening to Rodney bitch about how they're all going to die, Ronon finally cracks, and tells him to shut up, and Rodney's all 'Make me!', and Ronon does the whole HULK SMASH! thing. (Only, okay, with a knife, but it was still sort of RAAAAAAAH!!!!)
Also, I liked the bit where Ronon was going to shoot Michael in the back. That was fun.
(...but I find that I still love NUMB3RS lots more than SGA. Hmm. I am a bad SciFi fan. No biscuit.)

We thought the "True Science" special (::pauses to snicker again at the name::) managed to make science boring... when it wasn't making it gross (which didn't go over well with much of the gathering, either).

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Anyone know when Canada starts broadcasting SG-1 and Atlantis? As I understand it, they're screening them in HDTV, so Canadian ahems are the better quality.

I heard that Canada was getting it a month later. Mid-August instead of Mid-July. I heard this over at TWOP and don't know how true it is.

Huh. I've never heard of that. Sounds wacky.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
From the blurb about Darkplace:
"The program also features cult horror star Todd Rivers (as Dr. Lucien Sanchez) and Madeleine Wool (as Dr. Liz Asher), who vanished during the production and remains missing and presumed dead. Controversy has haunted the show since its creation, leading to rumors that the production was cursed. When Darkplace was cancelled, it had already claimed six lives, caused three nervous breakdowns, and been subject to at least one visitation."
!!!
I have GOT to see this.

OK, I totally called the drive-by and scoop to rescue Sam. Except I figured they could just let her pull herself into an airlock. Anyway. Called it!
Enjoyed Vala's interactions with the kid - especially the, "As your mother, I forbid you to..." speech. Cute.
And, finally, Bra'tac! (No reason in particular; I just love him.)
Liked the Rodney/Ronon banter a lot. Totally didn't buy that the Wraith guards would just turn John over to Michael like that, but, whatever. Wonder what they're going to do with a ship full of temporary humans. They have to keep getting the whateveritis to keep them human, right? I wonder whether they'll just let them all turn back.
In conclusion: Not particularly standout episodes, either one, but I'm glad they're back.
ETA: Happy Birthday + 1, Zenkitty!
