Dawn ,'The Killer In Me'
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 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.
Has anybody posted this here today?
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.
I was spoiled for Starbuck's death, and it failed to move me. So I figure I should either stay unspoiled for the rest of the season, or just spoil myself since I'm emotionally distanced already.
Hmm.
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.
Yes, this.
I couldn't believe the number of people going on about how awesome the episode was. Um, no. I'm glad we finally got to see Harry cut loose, but it felt very much like "We spent good money on these effects, we can't dare cut them" so the story itself got chopped to pieces instead.
I also can't believe the number of folks going "How can you people still complain about the episode when it was more like the books" as if relevance to the books is the only scale on which the episodes should be critiqued. Especially since it wasn't really like the books, as it was all flash and very little substance.
RE: BSG
I wonder if some of Adama's asshattery towards Lee comes from Adama blaming Lee for Starbuck's death. She requested to be removed from flight status, and he refused, convinced her to go back out and she suicided. I'm not saying it's necessarily fair, but it could be the partial cause.
I'm totally onboard with the idea that those people hearing the music having some sort of device implanted by the Cylons in detention. When Tigh was freaking out, I was seriously wondering if the Cylons had put something in his head.
Re: Smallville
The part that annoyed me most, out of an already incredibly annoying episode, was Clark's "Maybe I've been making excuses" regarding Lana spiel. Uh, no, you came clean to her and proposed before, remember? She died, and then when you tried to go back and fix it, you lost your father instead. Hello?
One would think he'd remember considering the tragedy involved.
I wonder if some of Adama's asshattery towards Lee comes from Adama blaming Lee for Starbuck's death.
I think this. Also, perhaps, some fallout from the conversation about Adama's wife/Lee's mom. And, maybe, Lee's continuing inability/lack of desire to be live up to his father. But I think it's also maybe supposed to be Adama's tough love effort to make Lee grow up already and find his own path. Lee can be such a spoiled brat sometimes, which is how I felt much of this episode.
If it's some kind of implanted device, why is it activating now? Why didn't the Cylons turn it on when they had the fleet at the algae planet and the humans were threatening to blow up the temple?
Also, was Anders ever in Cylon custody that we saw?
Anders was in the webisodes.
The webisodes better be part of the season 3 dvds...
ETA: I mean, in the webisodes, Anders is released from prison.
Ooh, what if the "We're all Cylons" means that all the Colonists are descendents of human-shaped Cylons from the last turn of the wheel?
Ah! I never did get around to watching the webisodes. Sorry!
