I can nitpick and love at the same time. It's a superpower.
A superpower shared by all true Star Wars fanatics.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I also nitpick because I care.

I didn't realize, when I made my work password BadWolf, how Doctor Who season 2 was going to end. Now I get a little bluesy whenever I log in. I have one more disc coming. Please let it not be all special features!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Eureka: The other issue I'm starting to have is why GD can't ever clean up its own messes. Lots of the stuff that Carter gets hauled in for seems more internal than criminal. And I guess it's just a company town, huh? Nothing else ever happens outside of it?
I didn't altogether mind the Finn/Megan thing. With Megan's apparent default state of bitchiness, I don't think it was altogether unwarranted, and Finn certainly knows what an exceptional kid is capable of doing.

yeah, what's the deal with the GD Security force? Is Carter the head of it, because he certainly orders them around enough? or is it Alison who's given him that authority?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
If the Sheriff's car gets impaled, I think he gets to claim jurisdiction.

Tell me about it. We frequently have to remind the powers that be that it's less dumb vs. smart and more academic (or institutional) vs. legal... or the good version of that comparison.
I think if the characters are smart in different ways it makes for more compelling problems. I fear I take a bit of hit on that front ths year.
I think this ep was bad for it though.

Our wings are not tired.
It is not uncommon for people brilliant in different ways to not appreciate each other's talents. I think this is a theme that can work. I'm just feeling a bit defensive for poor Carter. He's bringing out my mamabear instincts.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Dang it, I have gotta stay out of this thread until I actually watch the episode. This is about the fourth time today I have landed in here and almost got spoiled. Sorry, CFerg, we have it recorded, but with our work schedules, it's impossible to watch with the rest of the nation.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Joe Flanigan is apparently trying to break all cuteness records:

I think this gives David Hewlett, his dog, and an inflatable Dalek a run for its money.
