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.
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.)
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.

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.
t waves tiny pom-poms marked "Sam" and "Dean" in the air in an effort to get Sail watching.
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.
Debet, I take it as a meta-message about the essential nature of the show - about the viewers' attachment to each version of the Doctor, and to the various companions. There is a new wave of Doctor Who fans who've known only CE as the Doctor may still be adjusting to the change to DT at this point in the series. The principle applies to other aspects of the show as well, and development of that theme is certainly in the eyes of the beholder - as well I know, having realized yet another aspect of it as I'm thinking out a reply to your statement (and which I shall not elaborate on at the moment for spoileriness).
My question for those who were not sure of enjoying David Tennant's performance as the Doctor - and to whom I said (or meant to, anyway) to give him up to "School Reunion" to prove himself - is, what do you think of him now?
Okay, it's totally THAT John Barrowman. . . and I think he may wear a kilt in this somewhere
It is. He does. And the lucky owner of Cawdor castle gets him to carry her tea tray about while he's wearing said kilt. Since she's the Lady and she also knows where the heck she's going, you'd think she'd go first. I'm pretty sure she's letting JB walk in front of her to check out his ass in the kilt. As would I, were I her. But since I'm not, I just sat here and enjoyed my own view of things.
