Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

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.

"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

The scene I remember the most had him taking it from behind in a car. I'm guessing that was missing from the WE version.

Weird, maybe I've retroactively censored my memories for the friend-of-a-friend clause, because I completely recalled that scene as just making out in the back seat. I thought Christina Ricci and Ivan Sergei had the only halfway explicit scene in the whole movie.

Our wings are not tired.

Wah! I have thunder storms, which means no satellite. Wah! I'm taping a screen that reads Searching for satellite signal. This is so sad.

Oh, Laura, that sucks. Well, maybe it will clear up by the 11p airing?

I'm getting bits and pieces of commercials, so it might be coming back. Or it could be taunting me and will go away as soon as the show comes back.

You know that I will watch what I can now and tape the whole thing later.

It's back!! And oh my, it picked a nice scene. Mmmmmm. Looks like the jump rope worked damn well.

Looks like the jump rope worked damn well.

Yes, indeedy.

Hmmm. I fear if I projected like a Cylon, I'd constantly be walking into walls. Maybe they, er, what do you call, the thing that bats do, echo locate? Anyway. Interesting notion, this projection.

Ooh, Athena! I like it.

Art Crawl!!!

I like it too!

(After the first episode people were talking about her new call sign: those people must have heard spoilers. Or did Ron Moore talk about ti on his podcast?)

Okay, I'm a bit worried that Athena will get the virus.

I wish that my hair would cut so easily as hair does on tv and in movies.

I don't remember hearing anything like that on the podcasts.

I'm kind of not sure what I think about this ep yet. Guess I'll have to rewatch. I have a vague sense of being rushed through things, or just past them without really stopping even.

Thank heavens. I had such a crap day and that made me feel better. Though I could have done with some explosions. Still, very trippy and mostly fun.

Oh, Baltar, you so crazy. Even though it was kind of obvious what they were building toward on the Basestar, I still got chills.

I have a vague sense of being rushed through things, or just past them without really stopping even.
There were quite a few bits aboard the Cylon Basestar where I had to rewind and listen again because I needed more time to process what they were saying. And that was before they were all talking at once. I admit some of my difficulty may have been due to beer. And that may not even be what you mean, but again: beer.

At the end, when Adama was tearing into Starbuck, I was all, "Yeah!" And then he tore into Tigh, I felt more like, "I know he deserves it, but... aw, Tigh!" And to be fair to them both, Kat was being ridiculous in that first scene.

But then I bonded with Starbuck because we cut our hair the same way. So now we're BFF! (Okay, I use scissors, but same idea.)

Apollo's "poof, I am studly again" thing was rather silly. And I do feel resentment that I was deprived of a scene where Starbuck mocked his belly. Harrumph.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

This Doctor was not my favorite. Too many of the "desperately evading the Cybermen" were pure filler. No real wit. But the people who wanted Mickey gone got their wish. I was not as anti-Mickey as all that. (After all, this is not the first time he's saved their behinds.) But, I have to admit, he is not exactly essential to the show.

I do hope the next episode is a bit cleverer.

Also did I miss where the one Cyberman saying "Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!" as the very last line of the first part of this two parter was explained? I mean before the implants were turned off in the second half, their emotions were meant to be blocked. True?
