I've seen a couple of ads on BBCA for a show called "Primeval" - does anyone know anything about that show?
I've seen the first two episodes. They were not good; it's a very dull program. But Hannah Spearritt is hot!
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Did they get past three? Both the swearing and the time measurement on Farscape always bothered me, because they seemed straight search and replace jobs.
I just watched the last 8 episodes of season two and the first 2 episodes of season three, and somewhere in those special features were the curse words of Farscape. I didn't go through all of them, but it was interesting to see some defined as "mild" and some as "crude." And then spooky that it gets addressed here today.
Also Rygel (sp?) says "blue bitch" quite a bit talking about Zan (Xan ?).
eta: Also, I agree I am way over the use of "frak" on BSG. Especially by Kara. She wants to frak Sam. Get in line.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Was he doing that before?
Yeah, he called Ianto that in "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang." I, uh, may have watched that episode several times.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
I was going to make my way here to ask the question and now I have the perfect excuse:
Did that seem "off" for Chiana to sleep with Dargo's son as the only way he wouldn't forgive her? I can see her picking a stranger, or even one of the crew, but Dargo had spent all that time, and a significant amount of that with her, searching the galaxy for his son. That seemed pointedly hurtful. As it was happening, I wasn't judging her so harshly because I thought it was a matter of getting carried away in the moment, but then she said it was engineered. Ouch.

I, um, may have watched it several times as well. But, my attention was perhaps diverted by the visuals.

I assumed that Chiana, being a free spirit to the Nth degree, was feeling trapped by the increasingly serious relationship with D'Argo, and desperately went for the one thing she knew would break her free again.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Yeah, I can see that. I thought she acted a bit disappointed when she found out about D'Argo's farm plans and thought they didn't include her. Then it turned out he was going to surprise her with a proposal and she went to the other extreme. I guess her choosing a way out didn't surprise me, getting carried away with his son didn't surprise me, but it's the actual combination that I found harsh. This show just keeps me reeling. Pilot's arm, the way Moya's first pilot was killed, and now Chiana's choosing D'Argo's son...wow.
Oh, and I am still more in love with Aeryn Sun.

As much as Chiana was capable of fighting with and holding her own with D'Argo, once she knew he was going to propose to her I think she knew she wouldn't be able to hurt him to his face by turning him down. How that translated in her head to the better option being having sex with his son so he'd be angry enough to break it off with her, I don't know. God knows she had enough backbone to face down everyone else she wanted to tell off. I keep trying to remind myself that in terms of ages, Chiana is quite young. Her interpersonal skills occasionally suck.

I was thinking this too. D'Argo's son and Chiana looked like they were around the same age. The pairing, removing D'Argo as a factor, made sense to me.
