Anybody else watch the Mystery of the Crystal Skull special on SciFi? I think I hurt myself scoffing.
I had it on while cooking dinner, but when they started talking about The Face on Mars I tuned out.

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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Well, I'm very late to the party, but Lea and I have begun mainlining "Battlestar Galactica."
I see what all the hullabaloo was about.

Sadly, yes. I was really disappointed that a show broadcast ON SCI-FI incorrectly identified footage from Stargate SG:1 as Stargate Atlantis.
And then I was disappointed by how lame it was.

victor, I'm getting back to watching the S2 BSG dvds I bought back in February, and am enjoying them immensely. I'm up to "Pegasus" right now, and will probably watch the extended version of it tonight. I forgot how much I love "Flight of the Phoenix," between the Cylon attack and all the wonderful Chief moments while he's constructing the stealth ship, with that great moment at the end when they reveal the ship's name.
Such a perfect ep.

move out and draw fire
OK, more Avatar.
First, a kid story: I came downstairs last night to find Mal swooshing his blanket (a pale greenish-blue) through the air and then swatting things with it. To my reflexive "What are you doing?!?" he replied calmly, "I'm a waterbender."
I consider us very lucky that he didn't think to drag the hose inside.
OK. Just watched The Storm. I'm a little confused about the timeline: Was Avatar Roku (sp?) gone when Aang was born? Was Roku gone when Aang was told he was the Avatar? The opening credits make it sound like the war was already underway when Roku disappeared, but in The Storm, the monk says "a storm is building and Aang has to be ready." And de-iced Aang doesn't seem to know about the war.
I was holding to the belief that Roku disappeared "just when the world needed him most," not because he was a dick, but because as a firebender he wouldn't be able to resolve the conflict against the Fire Nation. So he bailed so that the Avatar could be reborn as the next element in line.
But now it seems like he disappeared while Aang was still a novelty iceberg. So the avatariness can be in two bodies at once?
Also, OMFG I love this show. REALLY good writing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Raq, your best bet is to ignore what they say in the opening credits, which really doesn't make any sense. There will be lots and lots of flashbacks in upcoming episodes, and eventually the timeline will fall into place.

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

Yep.
And, also, yeah, the opening credits narration is confusing. You'll find out the exact timeline later.
