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.

The one person who's been spamming his/her opinion all over the place? That wouldn't be "hauntedbyBob" would it?

Yeah, I've learned to skip her posts like I've learned to skip Jim Butcher's repeated intros to the cat/dog/apartment/car/Murphy/yadda yadda. I was doing double takes for a while there.

Has anybody posted this here today?

hi-sterical, Beverly! (even though I couldn't understand half of what they said because they weren't speaking American ;) )

Okay, so I've been way behind on Galactica since for ages. Kept trying to catch up. And failing. At some point in the past week, when I was "only" 4 episodes behind, I accidentally saw something and learned that Starbuck died. I assumed she got killed. Then at some point in the last couple of days, I semi-accidentally read something (because I figured I already knew the only thing I could be really spoiled for, oopsie) and learned she killed herself. Whoa. Tonight I watched caught up to that happening. (And for some reason I'd assumed she'd shot herself, so I still managed to be surprised/horrified. Yay?)

I haven't seen the two after that yet, but I read the recaplets at TWoP so... whatever.

I am sorta in the camp that it'll turn out she's a Cylon. Because from the first "Starbuck dies" thing I saw, I thought, "Oh, so she's a Cylon, then. Heh." The tidbits from the podcasts do intrigue me, though. I would be fine with her being a Cylon; it would make sense to me. But I had a love/hate relationship with Starbuck so her death by itself doesn't do anything besides surprise me. That said, the episode was very moving, and she was fantastic in it, especially since I still felt kinda pole-axed by the ending despite the spoilage.

If she's a Cylon, that's kind of awesome. Maybe 50% awesome. If she's well and truly dead, that's TOTALLY awesome. If she's human and alive through some magic Starbuck power, that's negative 90% awesomeness, and I may just give up on the show since I've been off and on with it all season. But from the first that I heard about it, part of my reaction was, y'know, if she's not a Cylon, that makes sense. Because... what would Starbuck do if told she had a special destiny? She'd find a way to prove that nobody can tell her what to do. I kind of love the idea that she'd prove that she'd kill herself to prove that Destiny isn't pulling her strings, and if that turns out to be the deal, I feel more kindly toward her, retroactively. It's possible that I have control issues myself, but, what can I say? I totally get that.

And now I'm gonna go read spoilers, because I can.

All is well that ends in pizza.

So, is there a ahemmed version of the original 2-hour pilot of "Storm Front", or has it been under house arrest by the studio?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Robert Hewitt says they're going to show the whole 2-hour version at some unspecified point in the future, so it's probably on lockdown.

I think they should have skipped showing the cut-down version at all, and just shown the 2-hour original at the end of the first season, as a special. But whatever. I've gotta back away from the boards - those people are nuts. I'm only popping onto the Butcher Board now to read the threads where Robert Hewitt answers questions.

I think "Twit" has been banned *le sigh* (of relief)

She'd find a way to prove that nobody can tell her what to do. I kind of love the idea that she'd prove that she'd kill herself to prove that Destiny isn't pulling her strings

I like this. A lot. But then I fear that Destiny would save her skinny ass.

Destiny is a jerk like that.

So, so funny.

If she's human and alive through some magic Starbuck power, that's negative 90% awesomeness

So very agreed. Though I still wouldn't give up on the show.
