Ah. Never mind, Dana!
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Wow. That's the first episode I haven't liked. It had a very different feel than the rest of the series. I feel like I just watched one of Dresden's fantasies!
Yeah, I didn't like it as much either. I didn't like the basement lab, I didn't like the lack of Bob. I missed the bit with the potions

OK, the what now? Baltar is the go-to man for blessings now? I missed something.
Oh, well, sounds like we're about to get some exposition...
Or something.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I definitely missed Bob. And the sets even seemed different. Not that I've been paying super-close attention.

TDF definitely had some moments where it was not bad, just a different tone/vibe, and it had some humorous moments and good parts. But there was plenty of bad dialogue, bad acting, and just plain bad writing and editing and camera-work.
Murphy was different in a lot of ways, but one thing that I definitely liked was how so much more pissy and aggressive she was with Harry.
Susan was completely horrid, she takes Bianca's place of bad actress that should never be seen or heard from again in my book. At least Bianca showed her "true colors" this time around (I'm still unclear if this reworked Storm Front is no longer intended to be ep 1, I have a feeling it's not. In fact, I don't feel like it belongs anywhere!)
But not to be all negative, I liked seeing the flash of runes/swirls on the hockey stick, I loved Kirmani busting Harry's balls in the beginning, and loved loved loved the torch-blower effect on the staff (small flame as it "idles" then flaring to life when in action!) as opposed to the electricity thing going on in the other eps.
Now, I love PB, but is he just kinda sucking at the whole "being in pain" thing? or am I just being a sadist wishing for more realistic agony?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The sets were very different. The apartment wasn't the same, it was much brighter lit and brighter decorated, fewer candles, there was a basement lab instead of one concealed in the hallway (which is the way it is in the books, but I like the change better). I guess we're just not supposed to notice. Or maybe Harry moved.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
So I assume this was TDF pilot?

It was the TDF pilot, though it was originally 2 hours long, and that shows. It's very different in feel to the rest of the series.

Oh yeah -- the difference in feel, as well as all the exposition, is why I assumed it was the pilot. But two hours of that?! I'm having trouble imagining how they stretched it out that long.
