Did anyone else watch the BSG sneak preview on demand?

Last week's was a snippet of that arguement between Lee and Bill Adama. . . interesting choice. This week's was also an interesting choice. They seem, so far, to be going for more snippets of character stuff rather than actiony stuff.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

I just checked and yes, it does.

ASH reminds me of Anthony Hopkins playing Hannibal Lector. Something about the hair and the suit. Very creepy.

He was -- plus that screaming.

Is that Amanda Plummer as one of the Resistance fighters?

I like that Anders knew who the traitor was immediately.

Okay, that was Amanda Plummer as the seer. And a bit of that scene was the "on demand" preview. Interesting choice, no?

Hmm, the actual human-cylon hybrid is growing very slowly. So, what does that say about Toasterette?

"Would you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?" - Doctor Who

Love SJS and Rose getting catty with each other. It's going to be a bumpy ride in the Tardis...

And K-9 returns!

Favorite line so far:

"Never mind the tin dog. We're busy."

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I was itty-bitty watching the older Doctor Who's, so I don't remember anything other than the theme music (which still makes me nostalgic), but I loved the instant "implied" existing relationship with Sarah Jane, the weight of all that had come before, that there was this valid friendship, and the sadness that the Doctor had in sending her home, and away from him. Loved the fear that invoked in Rose, that perhaps her relationship with him wasn't as special as she'd thought. Oh yummy angst.

And K-9 was cute as hell!

"Bad dog" "Affirmative" *wags tail and ears*

Still loving the CGI (and I'm a CGI snob), the bat-things had a nice weight to the them, you could really see/feel them interacting with the walls, etc. around them.

Thrive to spite them

Loved the DW episode -- I'd seen it when I "ahemed" it earlier. I was over at Dad's watching my hockey team lose and we flipped back between that and DW (he's a big DW fan). He loved seeing Sarah Jane and K9 again. He wasn't too fond of EC as a Doctor, but he really liked Tenant's performance in this episode.

I really loved ASH, he did a great job of conveying the alien-ness in his movements. Various head turns, but also when he was on the ledge watching them in the diner and squated down, the way he held himself was "otherly" and then bat version flew beside and did the exact same movement which just reineforced it. There were some nice edits, like when Kenny sees the bat thing eating under the table and the camera pans up and you see the teacher. That was kind of creepy to me.

Didn't get a chance to watch much of BSG (my team tied and it looked like they were going to mount a come back) but I'll catch it at some point On Demand.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I love that they're really doing the history of the series in a real and important-to-now way. And not doing a bad job of walking the line between "Rose is special" and "Rose is the latest in a long line". He really doesn't tell her anything, does he?

I'm not thrilled about Mickey.

Also love the unity of the new series. "Everything has its time, and everything dies/ends" I'm trying to put together where we're going, especially with Torchwood (again) because I know we're seeing hints and pointers. The "god" thing, lonely or otherwise, is going to be a thing. And "everything has its time, and everything dies" was not, apparently, just about the Daleks. But, since it can't be the Time Lords (It's not Doctor Who without the Doctor, yo), I don't know. Likely something with the human race stepping beyond itself.

I almost wish they'd gone somewhere with Rose becoming Mother of the Time Lords (or somesuch), by virtue of Bad Wolf.
