I was really surprised that Harry didn't recognize the triskelle as a symbol of power. It's pretty basic.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Maybe he recognized it, just didn't know what it was being used for.
I get the feeling that while Harry's a powerful wizard, he doesn't have a lot of "book learning", and certainly not a lot of experience. Insiders said the backstory is that he was trained by Bob, under Justin's orders, since he was about 12, so Bob may not have been inclined to do the best job of it, at least back then. (These are not spoilers. Backstory freely available on the SciFi board and Butcher Board. I read them so you don't have to!)

Art Crawl!!!
That wasn't the incubus --that was the incubus' soul.
Which was icky.

or, Bob may have been instructed to keep things from Harry so that he wouldn't get too powerful on his own.

I love Claudia Black like nobody's business, but Claudia, honey--you gotta work on that accent. It's still wrong.
Oh, lord. I'm in complete agreement. I ♥ her dearly, but... ouch.
I think her American is better than Ben'sSebaceanAustralish.
Damning with faint praise? Heh.
Anne, I'm with you on not being totally convinced that they're Cylons, but I hope they are.

This, yes, even more likely.
Incubus baby. Aaaaand eew. Poor Bob. Talk about getting the heebie-jeebies.
I believee I will like this episode even better upon rewatch. Harry taking all the bomb's energy and then collapsing and babbling was cute. "I don't have any rabbits..." And loved how Liz just went with the whole wizard thing.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Claudia Black automatically makes everything more awesome, weird accent or not.

Although I hated her earrings. It's a weird thing to fixate on, I know, but I hated them.

Big hoops, right? I barely noticed... but yeah, it always pings me a little when a woman who might very well find herself in a physical altercation wears jewelry that could get in the way or possibly be a danger to her.

Oh, and don't forget that while we won't be getting any BSG answers until Season 4 in 2008 (waaaah!), we will have more BSG sometime in the fall, in the form of two "extra" or "extended" episodes (RDM didn't know what the proper terminology was) that will be taking place aboard the Pegasus, although the interview that I read this in last night (that I can't seem to find now!) didn't specify if they will be before encountering Galactica or after.
