Riley ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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 thought the MoaningMyrtleTile was hilarious in its fuckedupedness.
So that was the same actress? I thought she was, but Sci-Fi squashes the credits before you can read them. Also, I agree on the hilarity (and having been on a random ELO kick recently, I enjoyed the ep).
It was the same actress. Her voice is very recognizable.
I really enjoyed L&M and the Torchwood episode about Eugene (which I just watched last night, as our telly was broken until yesterday).
The last couple of eps of TW have been much better, though they're still making the mistake of telling us how great Gwen is instead of actually showing us. The last ep was a bit better at showing her using her intuition and working things out, but the setup made it look as though everything was down to Eugene guiding her anyway.
I do like the way they're showing us that Gwen and Owen are having difficulties, without us having seen much of the relationship at all. Oh, and Gwen held Jack's hand while Eugene was ascending, which I liked.
When I watched the repeat of BSG last night, I have to say that Helo looked like he was ready to explode.
I would think that we wouldn't have seen the last of the issue, by far. In the middle of a big crisis isn't the right time to tell someone they betrayed you and you'll never forgive them.
Oh lords, this whole Dee/Apollo/Starbuck/Anders thing is just disgusting. Although I'm surprised still at how much I've come to like Anders. Hit him, Sam, do it! Lee looks like he's seventeen standing next to Anders, hee!
Cally, shut up.
"They think we're bluffing." "We are." "Yeah, um, no."
And, what was up with that mood-killing promo? Pretty well orchestrated cliffhanger, and then that?
I coulda done without. Hopefully they showed that because it was the most inconsequential part of BSG's return in January.
If you go to the scifi website there is a video extra called "Soldier's Code" which is a more interesting preview for the next episode.

Oh, excellent!
I adored Anders this week. The expression on Lee's face when Anders said "Do you think you're the first?" was just priceless -- clearly, yes, he'd thought he was. Poor Lee, never being quite the beautiful and unique snowflake he thinks he is!
What strikes me about the whole Starbuck/Lee affair is how selfish it is. I can't help comparing it to Willow/Xander, and how their guilt was driven by the concern that they would hurt Oz and Cordy. Here, Starbuck doesn't appear to feel guilty at all, and Lee's attitude seems to be very specifically about Not Cheating On His Wife, rather than being about Not Hurting Dualla.
I'm not really sure how I feel about the whole Final Five Cylon plot thingy. I love Baltar/D'eanna, but I think I'd have been happier if I could have had it without the spiritual element, or at least without Baltar seeming to buy into it as much as he is.
