vonnie,
I agree. I haven't had the same emotional investment since halfway through last season. Chief was fucking harsh, but was that him or his guilt talking?
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

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.

Am I embarassed? Am I turned on? Am I glad that I stopped watching Moonlight? A very guilty part of me says "Yes, yes, No."

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Oooh! Okay, I need to finish watching the DVDs, in that case. I mean, it's nice to see Sophia Myles pretending to be American, and I'll watch most genre telly 'cause even when it's crap, for me there is a certain perverse pleasure to be got from shouting at the telly about stupid things like immortal (but highly flammable) vampires having open flames lying around in their bedrooms/apartments etc etc etc ad infinitum...but mostly I'm liking the slash. Yes siree bob. (Also, I do like that whole wall of books he has. Nice design. Although I'd want the cubes to be smaller, myself.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
it occurred to me what Baltar's religion/philosophy was reminding me of--Christian Gnosticism.
Oh god, now I'm not going to be able to stop mapping the BSG characters onto The Matrix. Lord help us all if Baltar turns out to be Neo. (Nah, he's clearly Morpheus. Maybe Starbuck is Neo.)
(Cavill as the Architect? Six as the Merovingian?)
I don't like the new comical tone they're taking with the character.
Comical? Huh, I don't see it. There's a lot less slapstick involved here than there was in S1, that's for sure. I feel they've pushed the level of crazy way past funny and over into scary.
I think the Chief and Baltar are going along similar paths right now, actually. Baltar has his manic hallucinations and Tyrol has his ugly violent lashouts (verbal and physical), and they've both been pushed beyond the point of control. I don't think either one is a new aspect of the character, they're just closer to the surface now. (Or in Baltar's case, right up on the surface and rubbing off on his little tribe of fanatics.)

You missed Josef TURNING Mick?
Oh, that's so sad.
I agree with the theory that the Chief was being an ass on purpose so that he would get fired because he's afraid that it was programming not human error that made him mess up Racetrack's machine.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I thoroughly enjoyed Moonlight this week. Of course, I have very low standards when the boys are pretty.

Comical? Huh, I don't see it.
The conversation he had with Head!Baltar a week or two ago and the silly Six-holding-him-up in last week's ep are two examples. To me it's pretty jarringly comical and I don't like it.
