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.

Trust my rage

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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

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?

Art Crawl!!!

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!

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

sumi, I've wondered about that notion ever since I put together Leoben's "All of this happened, and all of it will happen again" with something someone said about the Lords of Kobol. Humans build Cylons who become humans who build Cylons who become humans who build Cylons, etc.

And maybe it's like reincarnation, your soul keeps getting reborn until you get it right and then you reach enlightenment. Which made me think that it would be funny that just as soon as they reach Earth, they get this cycle right and all disappear :P

(I'm sure I just mangled and mixed that all to hell, but I made myself chuckle, which means absolutely nothing )

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

A package just arrived, and I excitedly thought it was my SGA S2 DVDs.

It was not.

Woe.
