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.
This might have been what started my train of thought:
The ratings of both Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis have dipped and there is no guarantee that without their strong lead-in, Battlestar Galactica will fare any better when it finally airs in October. With all the advantages of the original three-hour programming block behind it, its ratings were only on par with those of Stargate last season.
From scanning various google hits, it seems that BSG did outshine the Gates in its first year.
The BSG promo that aired during this week's Eureka.
SG-1 was down around 1.4, 1.5 this year, though for 200 it bounced back up to a 1.9 (which is about its average from last year, if I remember correctly). SGA was running one or two tenths higher.

Watched tonight's Eureka repeat. Loved it EVEN more.
ETA: I noticed that the BSG promo (NOT the same one as Tuesday) says that the premiere is October 6th at 8 pm central. Is it a two hour premiere? Or have they moved it up an hour?
If Doctor Who is at 7, what is at 9?
You guys aren't the only ones hoping there aren't guest appearances in the ECW ring. I'll be killed.
Is it a two hour premiere?Yup. They're two separate episodes, but I think they're packaging them together.
Oh, just have Erica show up in her Jo uniform. She'll protect you.
There would be such an outcry if you came to any damage! So not happening.
Wow, the plot was painfully forced on this one. Even in the beginning; head-guy (I need to actually remember their names, don't I) doesn't seem stupid, so why the hell put Fargo down there? If you want to reward him for something, give him a real office, if you want to keep an eye on him because he's trouble, don't put him a zillion miles away from everyone. When West Wing pulled the same trick with the steam pipe distribution office, it was funny because of the fact that they *were* dissing Ainsley, combined with the fact that... was it Leo? was right when he pointed out that it was in the *White House* and a grungy office in the White House was still ten times the prestige of a giant EOB office.
However, as usual, the actors saved it, plus the funny little moments (Eve of Destruction is a favored music sequence piece, but the geezer power walk was still damn witty).

On the bright side, that would be one time when I wouldn't be yelling at the tv, "Who gave mics to the damn wrestlers? They've got more drama than Shakespeare. Tell 'em to shut up and start bodyslamming something." Not that I watch wrestling all that often. Because they keep freakin' giving mics to the damn wrestlers.
Right. I'm ok. Really.
