Bugnuts. That was all over the trailers, and I have to admit I both wished it could have been bugfuck, and became quite attached to the expression.
Some people juggle geese!
Wash ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
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.

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

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Comcast is teh evil. I tuned in for the supposed 10pm airing and it wasn't there. I stayed up late to watch the 11pm airing. I missed last week's ep and didn't want to miss another.
I like bugfuck crazy though.
Bugfuck crazy is one of my favorite terms and use it with frequency. My mom always says crazy as a bessybug, which she got from her mother. I just have more of a potty mouth.

Tivo just announced that they're planning to offer second-by-second ratings reports. (As seen on Max Headroom!) So, again, if you skip ads, it might be an issue.
You know, I'm kind of sad that not one of you people made a blipvert joke after this. Unless I skimmed one, which is possible.

I tried to, but I exploded.

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

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.
The line was "they're freakin' bugnuts. Restraints, fast."
I'm not sure if it was "now, or "fast" or "quick"... but I like bugfuck crazy though.
I got no business being here, because I'm getting spoiled left and right. We haven't watched yet - stupid work schedule - but we will. It's a good thing I wasn't eating or drinking anything when I read this, or my monitor would be a mess. As it is, the cats are looking at me funny. And I'm trying to think of a way to work that into general conversation.

Tom Scola for the win!

Is that first showing on August 13th only on the west coast? And no other East Coast, Central or Mountain NBC viewing?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Lastly, the easy reversal of the mind control felt a bit easy for me too. But I like harder roads and really clever science jargon... I think I'm the only one though.
Well, here is the right spot to let your geek out. Although we're pretty much resigned to the Bright World of Television Science, it doesn't stop us from nitpicking to our hearts' content. (hearts contents?)
I didn't have a problem with the technical reversal of the mind control rays from space--I'd assume that the research would have come with an off switch.
But wasn't it textually implied that it didn't come with an off switch? That they didn't know how to reverse it? And only worked it out (very promptly, mind you) for our heroes' benefit?
Some twisting of their paranoia so they had to follow him out would have worked for me
Yeah, this, though. But, okay, I'll take it as it comes.
Oh, and "freaking bugnuts" is an excellent and useful phrase, and a fine alternative to "bugfuck crazy."

Also - the Stargates are getting their lowest ratings ever.
