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.
Please don't calm down for future podcasts, Colin! It's, well, fun, and I love that you're passionate about it. BTW, what kind of musician is Ed?
Podcasts & iTunes: I've found that it's easier to forget the subscription on iTunes and just manually download each podcast (either from iTunes or the podcast page on the official site). iTunes seems to still be wonky, cuz the subscription just sits there instead of automatically downloading, even when I hit "update podcasts" .
"Primal" should be 41:14 minutes.
How much does it cost to download a podcast from iTunes? I'm in a bit of a money crunch, and while I'd like to see all these nifty extras, I don't want to blow my budget.
A lot of podcasts are free -- I suppose because they're promotional, really -- and the Eureka ones are indeed free. So no budget need be busted.
Oooh! That's right in my budget then. Thanks, Theo!
For those who think Doctor Who and Torchwood are not enough Who: [link]

Ok, see, now I'm pondering an alternate reality in which the Buffy-verse and the Firefly-verse were in the far more capable and committed to quality hands of the Beeb instead of Fox.
Seriously.
I bet the BBC would have been easy to talk into mini-series to flesh out bits of characters' stories. And the fact that I'm now salivating more over Faith: Behind Bars and Two-gun Wesley: A Man, His Boat, and His Girl in a Cage than over Spike: One Crazy Summer, Or How I Got My Soul Back and Lived To Regret It really says something.
When Gaeta is describing his plan he says, "We network the FTL computer with a nav, DC, and fire-control computers."
Ah. I hadn't caught that he had networked quite that many systems. I realize it hasn't been explicitly stated that life-support or power aren't tied into any of those systems, I don't see why they would be considering Galactica was designed to keep all it's systems separate as much as possible.
I guess my issue is the networking made Galactica suddenly super-vulnerable, which seems a bit much. I mean, if it was that easy, why aren't the Cylons picking off the fleet by infecting all of their computers?
Spinering: The actors on ST:TNG were in so much awe of Brent Spiner's acting to blue screen creatures and situations that they came to refer to it as Spinering.
Ah. Gotcha.
I realize it hasn't been explicitly stated that life-support or power aren't tied into any of those systems
While life-support may not be tied into DC (damage control) explicitly, it's responsible for maintaining ship's integrity in case of emergency. It would have redudant power/water/fuel systems tied into it. Disabling it could be extremely detrimental to the ship's functioning if attacked and/or damanged.
Wasn't life support affected by the virus? How could it have been affected by the virus if it wasn't part of the link?
How many episodes of MI-5 are there to look forward to?
Series 4 on A&E (10 eps) or series 5 airing Over There and starting, I just learned from the flist, on Sept. 17 (woot!!)? I assume 10 for series 5, too, but I don't actually know.
