Was it in the previews?
Yes. I even mentioned it last week (in spoiler font, to be nice).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Just watched The Plan - unfortunately it's basically a clip show with Dean Stockwell whining in the background. Pretty disappointing.

P-C, I believe it is possible if we don't see it, it isn't true, but what do we see if the person is asleep and dreaming?
It is possible that something we see isn't real or won't be real.

That's what I thought it looked like!

I haven't come to a strong conclusion on that yet.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I concur with Jessica. I thought "The Plan" highlighted some of the worst aspects of BSG and didn't bring out the best. I am actually not quite sure what the point of the "movie" is. Comment about where in the timeline the movie stops in spoiler:
I am also mystified why the movie stopped before Caprica. I was actually interested in the cylons motivation for calling a truce and leaving (and what they did when the left) before they came back after Gina set off the bomb. The movie starts hours(?) before the apocalypse, so we didn't get to see much of the history we now know. The movie is also the Dean Stockwell show, and why they didn't deal with Lucy Lawless more is beyond me. I wish they had gone all the way back in time to before a model was boxed. That would have been interesting as well.

re: Sanctuary
anyone in here watching the show? I have a couple of questions. Did the actress who plays Ashley want out of the show or something? Her exit seemed incredibly abrupt and I can't believe they killed her off like that.
Second, I think there is a lack of continuity in how the characters are written on the show. They do a good job with Amanda, but I thought Will would be spending more time grieving for his invisible girlfriend.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
LeN, apparently the actress who played Ashley will appear in the rest of the season anyway.
I'm kinda pissed because I thought I didn't like Ashley, but really, with Kate around, I know what I don't like. I hate the slightly amoral grifter that gets indulged even though she's a threat to the way things should operate. If she messes up again because of greed...well, I hope that this past episode was supposed to be her lesson and a turning point. But I don't think I'm going to like the way the actress portrays her anyway. Her idea of sass seems a bit high school. Not really a highly paid professional. I'm not sure why Henry said she was good at the end of the episode.
Re: Flashforward
The burnt dome of the White House bothered me. Isn't it a no fly zone? What set it on fire? S'mores accident?

I watch. I'm not entirely sure that Ashley's been written out permanently (though I'll give them kudos for doing something that daring if she has). But if so, I suspect Emilie Ullerup's inability to act her way out of a paper bag is the cause.
I actually kind of liked that Will wasn't all weepy for weeks on end over someone he'd had a brief fling with. He was sad, yes, especially at first, but it would have been odd for him to take Invisible Gal's death as hard as Helen was taking Ashley's.

ita,
thanks for the Sanctuary info, interesting. I fucking hate Kate with a white, hot hatred. I want Mr. Sasquatch to eat her accidentally.
Amanda had her weak points, but I think I got used to her. I don't think I'll get used to Kate.
