'Just Rewards (2)'


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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

But in new news, I just got the Nielsen ratings for tomorrow's paper: Heroes came in sixth overall.

During the week, you mean? Not for that time slot, I hope.

Considering we're down to 5 broadcast networks now, that'd be pretty bad if it were the latter...

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

It was sixth overall, and NBC's highest rated scripted show that week. (Football got better ratings)

David certainly knew what audience segement he was hoping to have spread good word-of-mouth about that trailer, didn't he?

Art Crawl!!!

I hear we have a new issue of the Heroes online comic this week. (I'm at a computer where I'm SURE that I won't be able to see it.)

And btw, Easter Eggs? There are Easter Eggs for the comics?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

From many many posts ago re: BSG -

Kate, you're not alone; I feel the same way about Kat. I thought the character had undeveloped potential. At the end I was actually clutching one of my cats to my chest like a stuffed animal, and she kindly allowed me to manhandle her so.

I don't necessarily think this episode was particularly well done. I don't really get Kara's thing anyway, except that she's always had it in for Kat. But damn, Kara yelling in Kat's face.? Hot hot hot like a burning thing. So thank you, Jane, for that.

Helo's title is ECO, which Answers.com says that stands for Electronic Countermeasures Officer. However, I do believe that he was a pilot in this episode.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I hear we have a new issue of the Heroes online comic this week.

It went up on Monday, I think. Not particularly interesting or revealing.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

My guess is the ECOs are trained how to fly the Raptors, in case of emergencies, but aren't good enough at it to be fulltime pilots. (Didn't Crashdown take the controls after the pilot bought it in, I think, Kobol's Last Gleaming?) In this instance, Galactica likely needed every Raptor in the air they could in order to guild the fleet through the star cluster and so the ECOs had to step up and pull pilot duty. (Plus I know the new CAG in Pegasus verifies that Apollo is Raptor qualified. So it's entirely possible a lot of Galactica's Viper pilots don't know how to fly Raptors.)
