Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?

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.

When are you and your beautiful baby girl coming north? Oh, and Paul. (Hi Paul!)

Well, we were supposed to in July, but it failed to happen. Now, I've no clue. Driving me nuts, though, as I wish to expose her to the Aged Relatives and all.

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

From the EW article:

Like the original Galactica, this version has an implicit conclusion: the eventual discovery of Earth. Moore and Eick say they have an ending in mind, but won't say if it involves the Galactica and its fleet actually reaching our fair planet. Ask the cast, and they'll tell you (after insisting that Galactica is really about the journey, not the end...blah blah blah) about a popular joke on the set: The series' climactic scene will find the fleet being blown to bits by America's president. ''You know it's never going to end happy,'' teases Park. ''They think Earth is this magical Eden, but we all know how we treat each other here. Then again, you know the Cylons are just going to follow them to Earth and bring their little war to our backyard. So maybe it would be better all around if [the American president] ordered a nuclear strike on Galactica. That would be like the biggest 'F--- you.''' Or frak you, as it were.

I was thinking earlier that the final season should be the Colonial survivors living on Earth as refugees, who are not wanted by most Earthies, trying to get the governments of Earth to assist them in the humanitarian mission of rescuing those humans still imprisoned by the Cylons - and failing to get that assistance. You know, kinda' how genocide can go on on Earth without anyone doing anything about it.

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

About Alison's son - has any further mention been made of the fact that, even though she told Jack, "My son is autistic. He doesn't talk," the boy did indeed talk to Jack, about Archimedes? Either he's not really autistic and has some other problem/gift (?), or Jack is Special, or we're just dropping that interesting tidbit entirely.

I suspect it's the latter. Too bad.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The series' climactic scene will find the fleet being blown to bits by America's president.

I've read a story with that premise. It's really good.

Kind of like Alien Nation?

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

Well, they have mentioned that he's doing better on the placebo, and that's probably based on how Allison's treating him differently. They seem easily relatable.

But with human aliens.

Indeed. Because Jack treated him "differently" - that is, like a normal kid, because he didn't know he wasn't.

Yeah, but where the "humans" hate the "aliens" even more.

"It's their own fucking fault they made the Cylons and then got attacked. Now they're gonna lead the Cylons here!"

Thrive to spite them

Wasn't the plot of Battlestar Galatica: 198? (I can't remember the year) about how BSG made it to Earth only to find that it's not advanced. And also they could jump really high and stuff from being exposed to a different atmopshere, but spoke perfect current English and everyone understood each other.

I was wondering if anyone had written a decent BSG/SG1 story. Maybe it would work better if it was before SG1 found out about Atlantis. I'd be especially interested in the Cylons reaction to other races who are more powerful. I'd want to see Baltar meeting Thor maybe and seeing Six's reaction.
