Hi back, Laura! I've been around awhile, but I tend to lurk in the shadows -- I think I post an average of once a year, generally occasioned by cancellation, character death, or other catastrophic events :)
Tara: 'Your One-Stop Spot to Shop for Lots of New-Age and Occult Items.' Catchy. Giles: Think so? Tara: Uh huh. In a... hard to say sorta way.
'Sleeper'
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.

What is even happening?
Psst... you should take this time to rent S1 of the Boy/Boy Melodrama (as Certain People Involved With the Show Have Dubbed It).You know, I meant to suggest that as a birthday present, and then forgot. Maybe I will.
(I mean, I just want you and Buffy to understand who and what took her place as the One True Character in my heart, you know.)Buffy is very Sensitive About That, Plei. I think she's wishing really hard that he be your One True TV Brother, or something. Wait. Now she's comparing you to Angel and you-know-who to Faith. This never ends well.
Pleeeeeeeeei. You're making me embarrassed to love said show, you know.
They don't mean the slash like THAT!Good, because I'm telling you, that kept me away for part of the time. We actually started to watch it in season one, but kept forgetting to record it, or had a scheduling conflict, or something.
Now that's a proper fanchild response. Well done, Cindy, well done. I had to send mine to bed so I could sniffle over Starbuck in peace. (Then again, she's long past cute... Mine, I mean, not Starbuck :) Also, so I could come here where the sane people would remind me that nobody really dies in genre till the last ep airs. And sometimes, not even then.Thank you, fialka. And are you newish, or have I just managed to miss you, until now? Either way, welcome.

P-C, that podcast thing is making me even more unsettled. If I hadn't been reading about people dumping all over Rob Thomas for the last couple of weeks, I might say something like, "I want to slap Ron D. Moore," but that wouldn't be proper.
Who played Kara's mother?
I was trying to figure that out, last night. I couldn't find the info. on IMDB, today. I want to say her name is Diane something-or-other, but I could be making that up.

Not only do I miss Buffy and Angel, but I also miss the massive spoiler machine that went with them.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Heh. I understand the inclination. And the hesitation.

Eww!
He's far too hot to think of as a One True TV Brother, drat it!
And I'm sure Buffy'd agree with me that those are nice arms to have.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Wait. Wait.
We have to *choose* a One True TV Brother? Because given my pick of tough, fiercely protective older brothers (who are secretly marshmallows), or emo younger bothers with stupid hair and angst about their superpowers... well, it's tough. Be they Petrelli or Winchester, I still kind of adore them.

OH, me too. Did you read my Faerie Tale about that?
Eww!

And I'm sure Buffy'd agree with me that those are nice arms to have.Not YOUR brother. A brother on TV. Okay, think of something else. And yes, I'm sure you're right and that Buffy would be all over that. You should write some cross-over fic. *nudge nudge*
No, Holli. You don't have to choose, because you weren't breaking Buffy's heart.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I just watched BSG, and I'm pretty crushed. In spite of and because of her flaws, I loved Kara the most.
Starbuck is one such character. She's a mess, and can be mean, and unfaithful, and drunk, and self-destructive, and is the baddest ass pilot the Galactica will ever see, and is so brave she moves me to tears. If she's a skinjob, it's going to be really hard for me to care about her in the same way. Ditto if she's a goddess. I'm not saying it will be impossible, but I suspect if she's not human, she's going to matter to me far less. Far, far less.
What Cindy said.
They knew! They knew that they would crush the fan base. They fed on the audacity of killing Starbuck like sharks in a feeding frenzy.... Ron admits that it was purely for shock value.
Ugh. That's just... ugh. Kill a loved (and despised) character to serve the plot, sure. But purely for shock value? It seems like a waste of a destiny.

It's out there. I get pedantic about the 'verses, though. They don't mesh comfortably.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
But purely for shock value? It seems like a waste of a destiny.
Not purely for shock value! To bring smonster back to the b.org!
I get pedantic about the 'verses, though. They don't mesh comfortably.
Also, so glad (if utterly unsurprised) that I'm not the only one who gets pedantic this way.
(Nope, nothing to say today. Move along.)
