Have we seen Astrid with a gun?
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
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.

Have we seen Astrid with a gun?
I don't think so, but I don't think that we've seen her in a situation where she would use one.

I know that it's hardly authoritative, but it seems from Criminal Minds that you don't have to be able to carry to be an agent. From sources that aren't actually another TV show (but are the internet) as a tech expert in the employ of the bureau she may not even be an agent. But I'm sure she is, for TV shorthand reasons. No disrespect to tech experts, but I hope she has all the credentials in the world.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm still enjoying SGU, but the constant base on the soundtrack gives me a headache. I get it, we're on a ship, engine noise blah blah blah. But don't you think the Ancients might have found a way to muffle that so they could hear themselves talk?
(I also find myself wondering what the episode titles will be down the line if they continue on the "thing we're running out of this week" theme. So far we've had Air, Light, and Water, but I can't help but worry that S2 is going to premiere with "Lemon-Soaked Paper Napkins.")

All is well that ends in pizza.
If that's true, then they will be in suspended animation for long periods, only to be woken up to be served drinks and assured that the flight will continue when civilization rebuilds.

I will totally start watching the show again when the thrilling two-parter "Lemon-Soaked Paper Napkins" airs.
