I just assumed it was from Baltar's POV
But up until now his POV just had her in it. Why this new angle?
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?
'Shells'
Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

Trust my rage
I didnt like this episode, despite being written by JE. I guess I could go into why but it just seemed weird and disjointed. I really feel that the mood of the entire show has changed- more chaotic, but in a mental, not physical way.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
We've seen him reacting to her physically before, though - I guess I'm not seeing what makes this one so different than the time Starbuck caught him fucking Six in his lab, or any of the number of times he's fallen out of chairs because of something she "did."

To me it didn't look like something someone could do by themselves. It looked like she'd been digitally erased from the scene, as opposed to the other times where he was just acting to air.

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

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
whoa, I haven't read Jacob's recaps of BSG in awhile, but, man. I knew he liked the show, but I didn't realize his recaps had turned into long-winded prosaical love songs that are basically fanfic. I mean, it's good fanfic (and is making me like last weeks ep more than I want to, because: Cally) but still. The hell?

Yeah, this was my read, too.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I suppose we could take it up with Olmos, since he was the director.

I'm looking forward to the podcast to see if RM addresses it. I will be disappointed if not! But I will survive.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Doctor Who 4x04: That was fun! I especially liked the interactions between Martha and Donna. Donna is growing on me more and more with each episode, and I really liked her immediate warmth and rapport with Martha. Nice to see that Martha's engaged, too. And I'm totally a sucker for seeing the Companions with their families -- I love the contrast between the comforts of home and the dangers & wonders of travelling with the Doctor.
So those are the Suntarans? They're another old-school enemy, right? I suppose we can look forward to the inevitable Suntarans/Cybermen/Daleks battle before long...
