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.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I suspect the common, ethereal source might be monkey crack.

This is my opinion, all though I wonder if they've started lacing crack with LSD these days.

I can't even.

Hahaha OMG so much crack.

If Chief is Cylon, why aren't the human model Cylons flocking to his and Cally's baby like they're doing to Hera? It makes no frakking sense. And really, Tigh? No. NOOOO. And Tory, who was at best a third-tier character is now one of the Five? I call shenanigans.

boxes open! Crack everywhere!

Vonnie is wise. Also Dana.

I hope that RDM hasn't mutated himself some Abrams' Syndrome, because I've already sworn off that Ass!Puller Extraordinaire 4evah. Ten months might not be enough.

I think it's because none of the other Cylons even know who the Final Five are or what they look like, so they have no idea there's already a hybrid humlon baby. Right? Other than ESP, they have no way of knowing that Hera isn't, in fact, the first humlon.

From the Guardian TV blog - Life on Mars: how will it end?

No actual spoilers, but lots and lots of speculation. Only 3 episodes to go!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And Tory, who was at best a third-tier character is now one of the Five?

She was one of the leaders of the human resistance on New Caprica. (Making Roslin the only resistance leader not currently outed as one of the Final Five.)

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

The thing that's been bugging me is: why *don't* the Cylons know what the Final Five look like? Shouldn't they have been, you know, around when they were created? D'Anna's number is Three, so unless the model numbers have nothing to do with the order they were made in, the Threes predate at least two of the Final Five.

...unless the twelve models didn't start out as humanform, and the Five split before they started making themselves look human. Hm.

'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"

You know, my thesis that skinjob Cylons don't get "made" might still fit -- if it turns out that they "start" as normal humans born with an ability to interact with the Cylon god and Cylon reincarnation.

This would explain why Tyrol was able to find the temple on the algae planet, wouldn't it? On the other hand, he seems to have really detailed memories of his parents, which wouldn't seem to indicate he could have been 'planted'.

Note that Sharon's realization she was a Cylon wasn't accompanied by auditory hallucinations and in fact, she had blackouts where she sabotaged.

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

I am sad that the trial scenes failed to deliver the old "Dr. Baltar, you are out of order!"/"This whole TRIAL is out of order!"

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hmm. I need some details about the blanket pardon. What was the verbage and where was Baltar at the time of pardon?

We didn't get any indication that Baltar had the dream, did we? Because that makes him the only person in the dream that didn't have the dream.

Assuming we have met all the remaining final five, who are now our prime candidates for the fifth? Baltar, Laura, Starbuck? If the first two, why didn't they get triggered with the other four?

What is even happening?

I'm really not seeing the crack here, or the LSD. I think it was great.

If Chief is Cylon, why aren't the human model Cylons flocking to his and Cally's baby like they're doing to Hera?

I think it's because none of the other Cylons even know who the Final Five are or what they look like, so they have no idea there's already a hybrid humlon baby. Right? Other than ESP, they have no way of knowing that Hera isn't, in fact, the first humlon.

Right. I think Cally's baby might not be Chief's baby, though.

She was one of the leaders of the human resistance on New Caprica. (Making Roslin the only resistance leader not currently outed as one of the Final Five.)

Those shared dreams make me mighty suspicious of Madame President. I mean, it makes the most sense that Kara's a Cylon, but I kind of don't think she is, and I would love Roslin to be one. It would turn the whole idea on its head in new and exciting ways.

The thing that's been bugging me is: why *don't* the Cylons know what the Final Five look like? Shouldn't they have been, you know, around when they were created? D'Anna's number is Three, so unless the model numbers have nothing to do with the order they were made in, the Threes predate at least two of the Final Five.

There could be two sets of numbers. They could have been kept separate. The numbers could mean something other than order.
