Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

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, interesting that Brother Cavil is explaining how painful it's getting for him to download. Is this because he's a faulty (older?) model, or are all the models experiencing this, which makes Leoben's obsession just that much more frakked up.

You know, I was wondering about that. I don't think he could necessarily be a "old" in the human conception of old, but it does make me wonder why they chose a distinctly more aged model. I mean, there are obviously benefits associated with it--we saw that when he played Bro. Cavil as a Cylon agent on Galactica. It is interesting as well that it gets more painful to download--I suspect an argument could be made that the more distictive a personality a Cylon sub-model develops, the harder it is to re-distribute, re-download that personality. Cavil has obviously become unique among the Cylons, more apt to acerbically question or be sarcastic or break rank where the others wouldn't. I wonder if there was a certain trial-by-pain for the Leoben model too, where every time Kara killed him, he came back more brittle and more crazy because his distinctive model was re-downloading. It seems to be different from, like, the Xena-cylon, and the other male Cylons.

The reveal of Kasey being this woman's child was a shock to me. An enjoyable one--I didn't think I had the chance of being shocked by the end of that incredibly awesome episode.

Haven't watched Torchwood yet, it's downloading at home. Did they show two on one night? Because I only saw torrents for 101.

Yes, they started the season with episodes 1 & 2, though from now on they'lle only air one new ep on Sundays. But they're repeated Wednesdays at 9pm on BBC 2.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Both are now available at the usual suspects.

ETA: Downloads completed. And now I have to wait at least 12 hours to watch them. Damn work.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Do I need to see Doctor Who before I start watching Torchwood? I've only seen the first couple of the recent Who, but y'all have got me interested in Captain Jack, what with all the sex talk.

i've only watched the first episode, but i'm going to say no.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I wonder how many people stumbled onto Angel, became fans, and then found out about Buffy? I seem to remember one or two people who definitely preferred Angel to Buffy, and now I'm wondering the overlap of those who liked AtS better, and also found it first.

ION, Worked-an-emergency-overnight-shift typing is as likely as drunk typing to make one have pithy comments regarding a show about, aparently, geometry.

Not necessarily. But as a reference it would be a good idea to watch the three or four episodes he was in in the first series.

Our wings are not tired.

Watching Captain Jack is always a good plan.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I knew about Buffy, but didn't start watching until after I got hooked by Angel.

I have Torchwood sitting at home, too. If I'd had a little more time this morning, I would have put them on my iPod so I wouldn't have to WAIT OMG.
