'Objects In Space'


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.

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

Weren't they both getting a painful feedback sound/feeling though?

Well, they were both looking into mirrors facing mirrors, with each one being a mirror.

The Jimmy/Chloe was very cute on Smallville.

Wow. Jane Espenson got to kill CAT.

That rocked.

Umm, are there 4 branches (divisions? wings?) of the Air Group?

And I thought that the Doctor was very enjoyable.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Dr. Where?

and

Finally! Kat is dead Kat gets the heroic exit she deserves

Except for her ever so annoying scenes, I really enjoyed much of this ep, I got a great, tense "33" vibe, thought HotDog was gonna buy it there (but I guess they had to save that heroic gesture for Kat, *fbpt*), and yes, as much as I couldn't stand her and the writer's need to drag up yet another "Oh I'm so guilty! I coulda been party to the Cylon infiltration of the Colonies" (and WTF with Kara's hashing up old grudges? Is she still doing that "wanting to tear everyone's eyes out" thing?) I still got a little weepy near the end. But then Adama putting Kat's name in the CAG position kinda irked. It seemed too... special? Sappy? Is my hate for her flavoring this episode like that "too much dill" incident I had back in highschool?

eta: ah, I forgot. JE being said writer would explain the ending...

Well, I think so.

Of course, we could have had backstory on what things were like when Cat was CAG during the New Caprica backstory last week but you know, the good stuff just didn't fit.

(I guess Helo's back to being a pilot.)

I even forgot that Kat had ever been CAG!

Fifth looks hot as a former drug runner. All scruffy and stuff. Nice.

I think I enjoyed the ep. Kat was never a favorite of mine, so I'm not especially pained that she's gone. Starbuck's behavior is still sort of mysterious (not in the good way) to me, but whatever. I'm digging that Deanna's arc is finally taking off a bit. The preview for next week looks eeeeenterestink.

I also thought Hot Dog was in trouble there for a second.

Gaeta. Not happy the Colonel is back, eh? Yeah, I guess not. I sort of adored Tigh snapping at everyone to quit the effing clapping at get back to work. I totally missed what Adama and Tigh were cracking up about (I got distracted, so I didn't hear), but I did enjoy what I saw of it. Definitely had the "we're so screwed, but damn that's (whatever it is) funny, and we need a release" vibe, and who hasn't been there? That was nicely done.

Loved seeing Jane E's name in the credits!

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

I totally missed what Adama and Tigh were cracking up about (I got distracted, so I didn't hear)

Adama asked if people were still eating paper and Tigh responded with "no, paper shortage" deadpan. that was a good scene.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

really digging the turn the subplot with Baltar and D'Anna is taking.

Also loved Baltar calling the Cylons fleas on a dog, or whatever he referred to the basestar as. Also loved Sleepy!Caprica.

I also thought Athena was going to buy it in the beginning and she'd be downloaded, winding back on some basestar (most likely the one Baltar is on!).

Something about people eating paper and then the Col. said that they stopped because of the paper shortage. Hey, I laughed.

I thought that Hot Dog was going to lose it too. Nice to see the Ceiling Demon's eldest is still a pilot.

Did you guys watch the promo on the scifi website?

Ha! Yeah, that's kind of great.
