'Heart Of Gold'
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.
Kind of like when the unseen monster is revealed, and not so scary after all
Which reminds me, that I don't find monster movies scary at all. An irrational or homocidal human though? Scares the fuck out of me. Which is why I think the cylons freak me out even more when they start changing stuff, and Three goes all suicidal and Six is all FRACK EVERYTHING! and Eight's all I WILL KILL THIS KID! Because they're freaking out and that scares me.
it might still turn out to be true, just as long we allow for many many asterisks and footnotes to the definitions of both "they" and "plan."Yeah. I actually think that the Cylons have a plan, but the individual Cylons don't know what it is. So maybe "There is a Cylon plan" would be more accurate, but it's not as catchy. They are guessing and second-guessing what they are supposed to do -- they don't know who/what designed them or what their purpose is. Which is the human condition, and honestly... I think that is the plan.
Though I did kinda want the title card to change to "They have a NEW plan," after the S2 finale, because that would have been funny.
And just to throw it in: I believe Tory said "Can't get no relief" while puking.
She did. But that was when they were basically telling us they were doing song lyrics. I don't know if that line appeared in another context previously.
Oh, I know what I meant to say the other night! I do understand how it could feel jarring/ridiculous, but I can't really complain about someone gratuitously dropping bits of song lyrics into dialogue. 'Cause, yeah.
Though I would have gone with "I Am the Walrus," personally.

Yes, right after, when she looked in the mirror. She didn't sell it, though.
I'm starting to wonder if those of us who were spoiled are, on average, more satisfied than those of us who remained unspoiled. I know that's hard to determine, but it's an impression I'm getting.

Very nice, Strega.
They are guessing and second-guessing what they are supposed to do -- they don't know who/what designed them or what their purpose is.
Also, they're always having to second guess humans, and they're machines, so the humans are confusing the hell out of them. I don't know if it is better or worse for the Cylons who have felt love.

Somewhere else I saw someone wishing "Hard Rain's Gonna Fall" was the song.
Would have gone with the anvilly "storm's a-coming" thing they had Helo say in the previous episode.
That reminds me of Sports night.
DAN
Rebecca isn't here, Isaac isn't here,
there's a strangeness about this day.
DAVE
30 seconds live.
DAN
Eli's coming.
CASEY
Eli?
DAN
From the Three Dog Night song.
CASEY
Yes.
DAN
Eli's something bad. A darkness.
CASEY
"Eli's coming, hide your heart girl."
Eli's an inveterate womanizer. I think
you're getting the song wrong.
DAVE
In ten--
DAN
I know I'm getting the song wrong, but
when I first heard it, that's what I
always thought it meant, and things
stick with you that way.

That sent my friend into a whole "Eli's Coming" place.

I was unspoiled, and I loved the finale. (You knew someone was going to respond with that as soon as you hit post, right?). It was trippy and weird, and I had a ball watching it.
