And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'


Boxed Set, Vol. IV: It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.  

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.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Journeyman was fun! In a bleak sort of a way, but still. I like Jack's "getting it" face. And I really like that Dan didn't heal Aeden in that one afternoon.

The hybrid said it would bring about the destruction of the human race if the Galactica found Earth. I get this weird sense he's not referring to the humans from the Colonies.

Prophecies are tricky buggers. At least on TV shows. He said she would lead the human race to its end. And apocalypse and death, sure. But apocalypse doesn't mean destruction. It means revelation.

And Starbuck being a harbinger of death isn't so much a prophecy as a statement of fact.

How's that one go?
It's, I dunno, the late 1600s? The Galacticans meet some pirates, the Cylons team up with ninjas, and now you've got ninjas and pirates with spaceships. Cue spinoff, and buy a small country with the merchandising rights.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Okay, I like your idea too.

I like that Dan didn't kill Aedan either.

I rewatched Resurrection Ship and noticed for the first time that when Cain gives her orders to Fisk about getting a detail of marines and taking them to Galactica she tells him to choose "razors". Is razor a Cain thing? Or a Colonial fleet thing? Or an actual Earth military thing?

Trust my rage

I've never heard the term razor before (it doesn't quite fit to me) but I know Ron Moore uses a lot from his brief Navy experience. Maybe it came from there?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Reaper: The way that Sam's dad was lightly discouraging Sam from pursuing Andi makes me think that there may be something to the theory that Sam & Andi getting together has some effect on the contract.

Ah. And then the Devil introduces his possible daughter.

Plus, it makes Andi more interesting and she's really not so much right now.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

DH's interview with Jamie Bamber is up.

OK, somebody involved with PD is a MONSTER Hitchcock fan, because that THE BIRDS reference was almost as shot-for-shot as the VERTIGO one.

Also, looking forward to a big comeuppance here. I truly despise crazy avaricious-to-the-point-of-destruction-of-other-people types.
