Watched Reaper and liked it quite a bit, even if it is almost exactly the same show as Chuck. Or is Chuck almost exactly the same show as Reaper?

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.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Bionic Woman: I'm kind of meh so far. The other Bionic Woman seems like a much more interesting character .
And should Plei be warned about the completely gratuitous and pointless miscarriage ?

Art Crawl!!!
Is she planning on watching?
I feel like Jaime should have had a stronger reaction of some sort to everything that happened and was done to her - I don't know if it's the story or the way it's being told that isn't getting me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hated Katee in this. So OTT.

Yeah, she seemed off to me. . . but then she was supposed to be crazy, right?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I think Chuck got the best exposition fairy of any new show I've seen this year. (Exposition fairies love pilot season. They all get together and watch the new shows and compare notes and say things like, "Oooh, nicely integrated." and "You did not just do voice-over. Oh my Gawd, we need to stage an intervention")
I don't think it was just Starbuck...no, I can't come up with any clever play on that...that makes me say the show feels like Galactica in it's aesthetic. It's trying to be very hip and edgy.
Very meh. I think boyfriend's my favorite character, which isn't saying much. But if the actors get better, and the writers have a stickectomy of the anus, it might be watchable.
ETA: Oh, and hatedhatedhated the girl in the car moment. Was trying waaaay too hard. And poorly edited together.

Crazy, damaged, Starbuck variant...whatever. But she wasn't in the same show as everyone else, and I kinda liked their show better. Not loved, but interested.
My main beef with it is that I had no idea why Jaime ends up so badass at the end. I don't mean in terms of the martial skills (thank god they handwaved that), just in terms of the mettle (no pun, honest) required to spit back after all this happened to her.
We don't yet know if the miscarriage was pointless, do we? It may play into the plot or character development in future episodes.

Art Crawl!!!
Yes- exactly! We didn't really see anything at the beginning - pre-accident that would make her the badass at the end - and there wasn't any progression to that either.
It felt incomplete.

Regardless of the acting, I'm far more interested in learning about her backstory than I am Jamie's.
