I still wonder where Latin came from. Ancient Caprican civilization?
Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I just watched SG-1 "Heroes" 1&2 for the first time. Damn allergies.
Oh, indeed. Although I'm still pissy about the way they so elaborately faked-out the actual death. As if anyone was really going to believe Jack O'Neill died. Sheesh.
As for new BSG: Well, that was... yeah. I thought the Romo-with-gun business was interesting, and Saul-and-Adama fighting, but both of those ended up being no big deal in the end.
And I agree that Lee Adama is a VERY BAD IDEA as president. He's got three months' experience as a politician, is far too closely connected to the military (even after Bill stepped down), and is too much of an idealist for a people living on the edge of extinction. VP, maybe, under a pragmatist. But not P. Plus it was telegraphed from the beginning. And I don't think the Quorum would have approved him, for the above reasons. Too close to dynastic politics, you know?
Now the question really is: did Bill step down because Lee was chosen for President, or because he decided his judgment was no longer reliable, or was it both? Also, I suspect the Roslin/Adama Sr. shippers are very happy.
... what the hell has happened to Chief, anyway? And again with the complete ignoring of Nikki.
I felt bad for Athena: she's clearly kind of nuts, which is a pity given how well she was integrated before this point.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Now the question really is: did Bill step down because Lee was chosen for President, or because he decided his judgment was no longer reliable, or was it both?
It seemed like he stepped down because he realized his judgment had gone missing, but it seems like in order for Lee to be even considered for President, Adama has to step down first. I felt like RDM&Co wanted both things to happen but didn't want it to feel like they were making the one happen in order to get to the other, and so went WAY out of their way to give us 2 separate storylines that just barely held together on their own let alone as part of one coherent episode.
I'm also feeling like we missed a Starbuck episode. Suddenly she's sane and trustworthy enough to be CAG again? Buh?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
DW 4.08: Holy FUCK, that was fantastic! I'm glad to see that Steven Moffat is continuing his reign of terror and awesomeness, because that was some badass scary heart-clutchy TV right there. Donna!!

Right?? That was so out of place.
Ooh, DW. Off I go.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
DW 4.08: That somehow reminded me of some of the stuff they were doing in the 80s. Like maybe they were trying too hard, because it was not really scary to me. The more it was supposed to be scary, the more irritated I found it, rather than scared.

DW 4.08:
Windsparrow, really? I was totally creeped out. All that stuff about "sometimes someone doesn't come back" and the idea of the shadows being alive -- I mean, it reminded me strongly of "Blink" in the way it took something maybe vaguely scary to some people and made it TERRIFYING. I got chills when the Doctor gave his line about how almost every culture in the universe has a fear of the dark.
Dana, seriously! Although I thought it was funny how overtly they warned us against spoiling ourselves for the next one.
