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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Nitpick -- we're only missing 5 Cylon models, since we've already met 7. (The vote was deadlocked 3-3, with the Sixes casting the deciding 7th vote. Though I'm kind of surprised that the Leobans apparently get to vote, considering how absent they were from any kind of governing on New Caprica.)
can I just say that I'm really annoyed that the show broke up Anders and Kara in five seconds flat?
Huh. It never occured to me that they were being permanently broken up. I mean, they're still married, even if he's not carrying her dog tags any more.

That was how I thought it went down.
The other 5 models are available for future use if/or when needed. The cylons are probably still working out programming issues with those models. Really, if the ones we know are the best of the lot, the cylons have some lovely dysfunction going on there.
Keep jumping. Hee.
Juliebird, did he say what he thought the motivation
behind boxing up the as-yet-unseen-by-us Cylons is in the framwork of the BSG universe
?
My favorite thing was the "Office Special" that takes place three years after the series and wraps things up.
Damn straight. That was some satisfying and well-earned plotting.
And SA, I hear you on the suddenness of the Kara/Anders break-up. Whole lotta nada.
JenP, I'm not seeing any reason given for his (and silly me, it was Aaron Douglas, not Tahmoh, who theorized this) belief that
all the other Cylons were boxed, except for his opinion that to keep revealing more of them down the line would reek of bad storytelling. Here's the [link] it's about six "page downs" where Aaron and Tahmoh are talking about who they [don't] think is a Cylon.
Maybe I just like typing Tahmoh.
*sings* Tahmoh, Tahmoh, Tahmoh from the Yukon. And now I want to see him dressed up for the Musical Ride

Oh, it totally reeked of cutting the secondary character to me. I hate that classic tv trick with a passion.
Attn: Colin/CFerg! A friend of mine randomly mentioned you quite favorable today, so I thought I'd pass it along.
Funny story: I got to see an advance copy of this horrid Lifetime movie the other day starring none other than Lara Flynn Boyle. While I was happy to see she's not Skeletor anymore, she showed no emotions at all. The movie had Mark-Paul Gosselaar as the bad guy, for goodness sake. It was so bad. Even more disappointing was that it was based on a book by Anne Rivers Siddons that I read and really like.
The only saving grace was that Lara's husband was played by none other than Colin Ferguson! He was VERY Jack Carter-like in the way he played the role, he was the only one in the movie who could actually act, and he was still So Fine. It made me miss Eureka. Really, he was the only saving grace in what was otherwise a horrible 8 hours of work!
I assumed that Anders will reappear. If they just wanted to get rid of him for budgetary reasons, why wouldn't they have killed him off back on New Caprica?
Where does he fit, though, if he's not attached to Kara? He's not military (IIRC) nor is he government.
It's addressed (more or less) in the podcast, but to answer in this thread would be spoiling.
