I think that you are right. . .and so is Sharon. That was strictly a Roslin-Doc Cottle thing.
This must be what going mad feels like.

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.

And this is coming from a hetero male POV.
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.)
Also, am I remembering correctly that Adama was out of the loop for the handling of Hera.
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.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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.
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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

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.

If you watch Supernatural first, you stand the chance of having S2 of DA seem suddenly shinier, just because of the Ackles factor.
