Yeah, that's my point. Not that the Ancients are super-cool, but that the Ancients themselves think they're super-cool. Of course any artificial life they created would have that same belief.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

...Y'all don't think the whole thing might be a little tongue in cheek?
On a side note, if an alien can reproduce human speech, is mentally capable of doing so, and bothers to learn English, it’s going to speak in Received Pronunciation, aka the King’s English. Why would an alien learn a provincial dialect like American English? They’d speak it correctly. All aliens should sound like Hugh Grant.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not judging from his defensiveness in the comments, no. I'll give him the RP as not being serious (at least, I hope so), but the rest seems to be backed by conviction.

Have you guys heard this rumor about BSG being moved to Wednesday nights at 8 pm?
Just what I need another show on Wednesday night.

Splitting up their Sci Fi Friday (odd that the Sci Fi channel should designate a day for Sci Fi, huh?) seems weird, and moving SGA does too.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It's working! Quick! Fix it!

Wonder if they're clearing Friday nights for something else, now that SG-1 will give up its hold on the timeslot.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Nooooooooo! Midweek is too crowded. Fridays are wide open!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
NBC/Universal is making big cuts company wide. I doubt they'd be adding even more new programming to what they already have at this point.

They have, what, Dresden Files, Eureka, and Painkiller Jane in the hopper? I wonder how they're going to run their seasons.
