Torchwood: Holy shit is right. I don't know if I could have watched it, if I'd read the whitefont first. It was bad enough watching Owen die the first time. Waaaah!
Wash: Mal, your dead army buddy's on the bridge! Zoe: He ain't dead. Wash: Oh.

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.

I loved the altar with the Xmas lights on it, and intend to build one in my living room ASAP....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
When you create a sci-fi world, it's always desirable to give your aliens punnable names. For example, from B5:
Knock-knock.
Who's there?
Kosh.
Kosh who?
Gesundheit.

I thought that they needed to get that lovely portrait of President Baltar from above Colonial One's toilet to add to the altar.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My favorite reference from last night is by far "the Baltar Altar."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've always thought the tone around Baltar wasn't like the tone of the rest of the show. He was laughable and moustache twirling and pathetic in his cravenness. So far, by placing him as they have, they;re shining a spotlight on his otherness, and surrounding him with people almost as ludicrous as he is.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
True to form, I have yet to (re)watch the BSG premiere. Bad fan, no biscuit.
But I saw this on my flist today and thought the Torchwood fans would appreciate it.

But you have seen it already. (I hope Dylan is feeling better today.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
It was my fervent hope at some point during the middle of last night's BSG that Baltar would be shot in the head.
Or pushed out an airlock. I'm not picky. I cannot stand Baltar and it is time for him to die.
TW: This ep broke my heart. It really really did. Fuck.
They killed Tosh! I knew Owen was a goner ever since his hand was broken. I knew they couldn't keep fixing him up like that. But damn. Why do Tosh like that?
