There's a new BSG podcast up (finally!). It's not the "official" ep podcast, but it's fun anyway -- RDM and Mrs Ron watched the finale at a friends' house and recorded all of them watching the last act (with audience reactions) and their conversation afterwards.
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.
Saffron ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I got my hands on a copy of "Proven Guilty," and I have no idea where it is in the storyline;
Proven Guilty is book 8 (of 9). Book 9, White Night, was just released. FYI, it's going to spoil you like woah for at least 3 or 4 of the previous books (as in direct references to major plot points/reveals from them.) No clue whether or not this matters to you.

OK, I've drunk the Kool-ade and checked Dead Beat out of my local library.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Nah, it doesn't really. And I think I've been spoiled this point anyway at forty pages in. Still, it makes me really interested to read the other ones, like the White Knight thing and the thing about Thomas. How is Thomas his half-brother anyway?

SA, you might want to white font that for folks who are making their way through the books in order, as it's the big reveal of book 5.
The short answer is that White Court vampires--who feed off human emotions, normally lust-- like Thomas, are all half-human by blood and grow up as humans, only turning into vampires during their first time having sexual intercourse. Harry's mother, who was apparently involved with all sorts of bad juju before she met Harry's father, was involved with the king of the White Court, and had a child from him.
ETA: Blood Rites (book 5) heavily involves The White Court and explains a lot about them.

Duly white fronted. More WF: huh. I figured it was Mommy Dresden something. He's a really interesting character, what I know of him. How did he end up living with Harry?

SA: (Spoilers for Blood Rites) Very briefly, he was disowned by House Raith (his vampire family) after the events of the book, so Harry gave him a place to stay, having learned during the course of events that Thomas was his brother.

Many fangirls are bemoaning the end of Life on Mars. Long live Life on Mars!
::bemoans, bemoans:: Well, except I'm not sure that "watches it" qualifies me for fangirl status. Still. Am sad.

Argh, I'm a doof. Blood Rites is book 6. Book 5 is Death Masks. But all white-fonted stuff above does apply to Blood Rites. It just doesn't apply to book 5 because, you know, different.
OK, I've drunk the Kool-ade and checked Dead Beat out of my local library.
Cool, Matt. That's book 7 and one of my favorites. See previous regarding spoileriness. Though the only major spoilers are for book 6.
ETA: I'm doubly a doof because I apparently can't close html tags properly.
