Was this the first BSG flashback showing, or have there been others?
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Aww, see, I ADORE Martha. Love her like whoa, and about a million times more than Rose (which made the whole nonstop pining thing this season kind of @@). And I still agree with you on tea and/or scotch with SJ, just because it would be an awesome conversation.
And in my mind, Jack/Bo will forever be ogling SA's ass.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I think the pining is a lot of what got in my way with Martha.

I can see that -- but I was mostly thinking of the Doctor's pining when I said it, which bothered me even more than hers, so I didn't lay it at her door quite as much. If that makes sense. Great Doctor, awesome companion, could've used another season for them to finally work together like I wanted them to all along.

Oh. I see. Yes, I can see that.
Very much could have used another season. It'd be nice to keep a stable cast for more than a season. I know, I know: British show.

I think if Martha had stayed, it would have stretched the bounds of realism, insofar as DW stays within those bounds fairly well character-wise. Not that I don't want her back, cuz Martha rocked, and I adored her pining, and I adored the Doctor's pining...
(too tired to really fix run-on sentences)
...and I'm remembering that the Ninth Doctor was ?on? the Titanic, or had something to do with it, and that's from the first ep "Rose". He saved a family by preventing them from getting on board, but I don't remember if he got on board himself. Either there will be much handwaving, or the Doctor had two run-ins with the Titanic.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
My friend Nancy is a writer on Blood Ties. I haven't heard anything about whether she thinks that it's any good yet.
I really liked it - I've only seen 'Season 1', mind, but it's one of the better genre shows out there, imho.
Although...I do wish they'd given more of a concrete sense of place. One of the things I particularly enjoyed about the books was the fact that Huff really rooted them in their particular locations (generally Toronto); the show, otoh, seems to be rather chary of saying 'Why yes, this is Toronto, and we are Canadian. Ask us how!'

Wow, I'd heard about the Face of Bo spoiler, but I never in a million years thought it would be a throw-away joke. Coooool!
Love Martha; know why she had to leave; hope she's back.
Of course, I'm still hoping they'll work a loophole to get Rose back. But I'd take Martha over Rose anyday, personally (I just think getting Rose back in some form would be a good angst producer - much like the return of Oz on BUFFY).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Anyone who caught the BSG preview during Flash Gordon, when during the hour did it air?
