Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

SGA made me very very happy.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

That was like the best episode of SGA ever. I may have squealed in glee at the "family" scene between John and Teyla.

I know Cliff Simon is a fun actor and all, but haven't they forgotten the huge tactical advantage represented by Baal being the go'a'ould parasite rather than the host body? The clones could fairly easily jump bodies and infiltrate all sorts of organizations, while the original still brings the necessary quota of villainous pretty.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Didn't see the episode... but whoa. Baal cloned himself? So, what, he cloned his host body and the snake-that-is-him? He must be really fond of that host body!

Our wings are not tired.

He must be really fond of that host body!

Huh. Me too!

I was pretty damned sure at one point that Barrett had a Baal symbiote inside him. Pity they didn't go that way.

Can I bitchslap the writers for setting the season arc going by having Sam be deeply stupid? Again?

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

Ronon is ...

Oh, my. Oh, dearie dear.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I liked SGA, but I would have sworn, from watching, that it had been directed by one of the actors, what with the pulling out the big bag of visual tricks. And, apparently, we're wearing black now. ok.

The character self-knowledge conversations were great. Not that that's news, but it needs saying again.

I don't understand why Sheppard's wearing a black leather jacket as part of his BDUs, though. That's kinda odd.
