Woohoo!
'Lessons'
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.
Spoilery interview, FWIW. Didn't make me feel any more love for the finale either.
I didn't think it was that spoilery.
I admit that when presented with a 200-person death list, he said no. He's not without conscience, but it's a shallow lake. Sometimes when he appears to have reservations about something, I get more of an impression of "Uh oh, I could get in trouble for this" than the glimmerings of what I would call a conscience. Though it's possible that I've forgotten examples.
I was never as excited about season two as a lot of people were. In some ways I've enjoyed season three more, but I'm weird.
I'm scared to rewatch it. It could remind me of the hilarity, true. But it also could be a letdown and I want to remember it being Just That Funny.
I re-watched "Tall Tales" with the gf and it was still very funny. Maybe not the OMG hilarity of the first viewing, but still entertaining.
It's mildly spoilery - confirms some things about the finale and reveals some casting info about next season. Nothing that couldn't be posted in Spoilers Lite, I don't think.

Baltar is a master of rationalization. He knows that signing the death list was wrong, but he doesn't feel bad about doing it because he knows he resisted, which in his mind is the same as not signing it at all. Ditto unwittingly helping Six commit genocide on the Colonies back in the mini -- he didn't mean to do it, so he has nothing to feel guilt over. And I think that, more than anything, is what rubs people the wrong way about him - it's not that he's technically wrong about those situations, it's that a normal human being would feel guilty anyway, and he doesn't.
I'm not going to spoil in my white font, but I'll qualify what type of information Moore gives away, so people can guess if they want to steer clear. Like sumi, I didn't think there were too many spoilers, but I'm not all that sensitive to the stuff a writer would be willing to reveal, and I know some people are.
* He puts to rest one topic for debate that some people have brought up. He confirms the mindset of a few key characters -- in fairly general terms. He discusses casting issues. He discusses a few issues that will be addressed in season four -- but not how they'll be addressed. He talks about the setting of the two-hour event that will air in the Fall. *

Wasn't Baltar kind of wracked with guilt, when he was first aboard the Cylon ship at the beginning of the season?
I rewatched "Simon Says" and really enjoyed it. I know that enjoying "Simon Says" is unusual in the SPN fan community - but it was funny and had excellent arc-components.
Really? Simon Says is pretty well thought of in LJ fandom.
It's not as good as Nightshifter, but it's pretty darn swell.

Well, for Lee and Cass, it's more the OMG hilarity of the last viewing. Which, umm.
Jilli became Bobby.
And then we decided Pete was the Trickster.
And the valet guy wasn't sure we were safe to drive.
