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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Seems like Susan is intended to stay, otherwise why introduce the character at all? It's weird. Her own life must totally suck if she's willing to take over the life of her dead clone who married her ex.
And she said her parents had called her in shock. She's going to have fun explaining that one. "Oh no, Mom and Dad, it wasn't me. It was another woman who looked exactly like me and had the same name who married that guy I used to date."
Didn't Susan-Clone ever have any desire to talk to her parents? How did Walter convince her never to contact them, if she thought she was Real-Susan? Maybe she knew she was a clone? Maybe Susan never talked to her parents anyway, and maybe that's part of why her life is sucks so much she'd trade it.
And how is she going to explain to the kid things like why Mommy doesn't know what his favorite cereal is anymore?
I'm sure none of this is ever going to be explained. I hope they at least give some reason why a new Susan was needed. Besides just needing someone to kill to show how evil LadyShrink was.
I need to not think so much about tv shows.
Some SGA fans thought Rodney was OOC. I enjoyed it anyway, although it would have been nice if Teal'c had more to do, and if Vala and Sam could ever hold a conversation.
Someone posted about how Hewlett had talked about the difference between being Rodney on SG-1 and on SGA. When he's on SG-1, he's a foil rather than a main character, and the writing certainly seems to reflect that. (Personally, I tend to think that he is so cute I could just DIE, so I am not the most objective viewer.)
The shot of both of the casts together in Atlantis' briefing room was just so pretty. God, they're all so gorgeous.
So that's hive ship #10, right? In under two years, about 500-600 humans with three little ships have managed to kill off roughly 1/6 of the Pegasus Galaxy's dominant species.
The Ancients must have been the slowest, most unimaginative tacticians in the history of sentient life.
Has the mythology of the Stargate universe ever explained what happened to the Ancients?
Yup.
The Ancients left the Pegasus Galaxy when they failed to defeat the Wraith, and came back to the Milky Way Galaxy, but they were succumbing to some kind of Ancient Plague. So most of them chose to Ascend.
So the Ancients are still around, as the Ascended Beings that Daniel hung out with for a while?
Do the Ascended have any opinions about the Ori? I stopped watching about the time the Ori showed up, except I caught a couple episodes for Claudia Black.
The Ascended fear and hate the Orii. The Orii want to kill them, but the Ascended will do nothing in the human world to help defeat them. Which was made pretty explicit last night--the Ascended woman who gave Daniel some information was punished by the others.
The plague was before the Ancients flew Atlantis from Earth to the Pegasus Galaxy, several million years ago. The remnant that came back @8,000 B.C.E. either merged into human culture or meditated until they ascended.
Interestingly, we got confirmation last night that the Ori only ascended after that last group of Ancients did, not millions of years ago when their two peoples first split. The threat they represent (beyond just being scary religious fanatics) is quite recent, maybe no older than the go'a'ould occupation of Earth.
Heh. Sci-Fi is running the original Stargate movie, and Richard Kind (who played Lucius in last night's SGA) is in it.
