I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

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.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Kara and Anders didn't have the matching tattoos last season, did they?

Yeah, it was their version of wedding rings--we saw it in the big cliffhanger season finale of 2.5.

By the by, BSG frakking rocked the house in this episode. I swear to god I was fist-punching the air through the whole thing. Fucking amazing.

so it stands to reason that she'd think finding Hera alive was Really Really Important.

Indeed, this. Hera also has a role in the Cylon person mytho-prophecy.

I wonder if we'll ever get a flashback or conversation that acknowledges that Katie Couric turning out to be a Cylon would have been a pretty big deal to the civilians.

Mmm, continuity. I was sort of wondering that in the back of my minds too, and while I can retcon it as old news after four months of Cylon occupancy, it still would have been nice to have a wry Roslin throw-away line addressing it.

I really wish they'd aired Exodus as a two-parter instead of splitting it across two weeks

I would have preferred the first two eps two weeks apart and then Exodus as the big double-ep night. It would have flowed much better.

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

I loved when Galactica came burning down out of the sky to drop the vipers and then jumped.

Gloomcookie, this is how I described it in my LJ post:

GALACTICA FUCKING JUMPING INTO THE FRAKKING ATMOSPHERE AND BEING ALL AFLAME AND RELEASING HORDES OF VIPERS AND THEN JUMPING RIGHT OUT WHILE STILL AFLAME BECAUSE IT ONLY CAME DOWN THERE TO RELEASE THE VIPERS QUICKLY AND SAFELY AND JESUS CHRIST THAT WAS THE MOST FUCKING AWESOME THING THAT SHIP HAS EVER DONE ADAMA YOUR BALLS ARE THREE THOUSAND TIMES THE SIZE OF MOST MEN'S.

"House of the Dead 2" aired last year the weekend before his network test. Ed still maintains the success of HOD2 was partially the reason he got Stark.

I, having seen "House of the Dead 2", confidently disagree.

Although a cheeseball, clean shaven Ed fighting low budget Zombies is worth the price of admission... and yes, he will pay dearly for every re-airing.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ed as a zombie fighter is hotter than Ed as Stark, IMO. There's a bright side to almost every bad movie.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

At least he can be proud the sequel was better than the original. Though that's not setting the bar very high, as the original was a Uwe Boll movie that used videogame footage for transitions. (That's the one Tyron was in, Sumi.)

Word coming out of Canada is that SGA will no longer be premiering up there in late October.

When you're racing - it's life. Anything that comes before or after is just waiting.

I'm just waiting for House of the Dead 3. You think they can Ed Quinn to reprise his role as Ellis? :P

Our wings are not tired.

Now I regret passing on HOD2.

BSG: Wow. What P-C said and more. I've only watched on my bedroom smaller screen. I must rewatch on the big screen with good sound system. Most shows I can watch with TV speakers, but BSG just deserves more.

That was just lovely. Tigh broke my heart. Ellen knew. Damn. Poor Kara. Twist that knife baybee.

There was so much to love, and so much left that I look forward to seeing unfold. Ahhhh. Most satisfying.

Also, Jessica is a taunty taunter. And that's good too!

I went out last night, so I just watched Galactica. And SO PRETTY. Not just when they jumped into atmosphere, but the Vipers and Raptors flying through the clouds, and then I was having B5 flashbacks when the Pegasus smashed into the Basestar.

Pretty ships exploding prettily. Yay!

And poor Tigh.

Oh, FEH. That just sucks. Canada needs to come through for us.

Though I guess it will cut down on the weird conversation disconnect we got last year.

Question: when you say "Stark" in reference to Eureka, is that with regards to the actor who played Stark on Farscape that you are now calling Stark for the actor because he's more recognizeable that way? Or did they actually name another character Stark, thus confusing everything for me further for the character from Farscape and the similarly named Sark from Alias?
