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.
Oh, and secondary symptoms may include putting S2 of Dark Angel in your Netflix queue. (Curse you, Ackles.)
JA was one of the only good things about that season. And the episode the focuses on his character is probably the best of said season.
And this is coming from a hetero male POV.
I'm guessing by the complete lack of discussion folks were pretty underwhelmed by this week's BSG.
I didn't care for the cheat in regards to settling last episodes cliffhanger and overall, it felt like nothing happened but setup.
Also, am I remembering correctly that Adama was out of the loop for the handling of Hera. I loved Sharon's "Adama would never lie to me!" and I don't think he actually did, but it still might come back to bite him in the ass anyway, which would be disappointing because honestly I'm tired of the two Sharons' yo-yoing alligences.
I think that you are right. . .and so is Sharon. That was strictly a Roslin-Doc Cottle thing.

Hee.
I quit watching it about three episodes in during S2, but I know from the collection of crap on my media shelf that taste is no object when it comes to fannish infatuations and me.
From my extremely spoiled perspective, I'd say that last night's BSG is probably the weakest hour of the first 5 of this season -- I wouldn't exactly call it a placeholder, but it doesn't move the arc forward as much as it could have. (Watching them all back to back, this ep doesn't stand out as blah, but on it's own, it's definitely not as strong as what it's bookended by.)

Not out of the loop, but it wasn't his decision. Still, it happened on Galactica, he knew about it, and he didn't tell her, so yes, he lied. (By omission if not explicitly.)

It was a lot of setup, but I liked it better than last week's episodes, which I was predisposed not to like since I hated the finale. Now that they've eased me into the New Caprica thing, I can follow the story as a story, especially since it looks like they'll be off the rock in no time anyway.
I could SWEAR that I just read a descripton of an HGTV show called "Keys to the Castle" - that JOHN BARROWMAN is the host of the show.
It's coming on in about 20 minutes.
Will let you know.
totally succumbed and bought BOTH seasons of Dark Angel
Guilty. The only reason I bought season 2 was because I'm a completist. I quit watching season 2 about halfway through. I feel I should watch the rest, just to say I did.
Okay, it's totally THAT John Barrowman. . . and I think he may wear a kilt in this somewhere. . . (at least it seemed to be him in the preview.)
I didn't watch Galactica till today because I was reading
The End
last night and didn't wanna stop. But yeah, the "one hour earlier" thing felt like a "with one mighty leap..." save. Whereas if they'd shown it to us last week, it would have been fine. I'd just as soon have them put that in the second ep, and bumped more of Starbuck's story into this one. Which would have fit with all the baby-hunting, anyway.
The biggest annoyance for me was that last week, Cally tumbles down a hill when she's escaping. So that "Oh no, she's in our line of fire" thing seemed particularly dopey.

Yup. That and the fact last week (and in the recap) Cally heard gunfire while she was running. Then, last night Chief tackles her before the gunfire starts.
