There will be no killing of Gaeta! "Collaborators" is a great episode of BSG, and everyone nails their performances there, especially him. I'll just pull out my usual burble of love for Felix and his character arc from the miniseries up to now, because the writers have done some great stuff with him, and most if not all of it has been true to his personality, not ass-pully.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

He should save some for Lindsay Price. She was horrible as Jane.
THAT'S where I'd seen her before. she's in that dreadful new show about high powered women in NY, but I couldn't remember where I'd seen her before. I think I blocked it out.

I love this collection of various and sundry Doctor stories:
Seventh Doctor Sylvester McCoy thinks Eddie Izzard would be an awesome Doctor...
The Sci Fi Channel will not edit the season finale, “Journey’s End”... -- it will be shown as a 90-minute bonanza.
That link also has a still of Tennant as physicist Arthur Eddington in an upcoming BBC production about Eddington and Einstein, with Andy Serkis as Einstein. Sounds great!

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I'm impressed with how few characters remain "in the background." You see them on screen enough, and eventually they develop real stories and personalities. Excellent.
I'm also impressed with how the relationships change as it goes on. I couldn't help noting that, when we first meet Starbuck and Tigh, she's punching him, and now, in the last Season Three ep I watched, the two of them are bonded in their bitterness over what happened on New Caprica. It all stays fluid, and believable. (I suppose the inevitable people being outed as Cylons will flip some of that, but I'm not going there just yet, conversation-wise.)

Oh yeah, I loved that development. Conversely, one of the hardest things about the Collaborators arc was the Sam/Starbuck interactions. (I forget though - did we know about all the rest of the shit going on in the background of those two at that point?)

Oh, god, Collaborators infuriated me. It was like Litmus with the "This week on Battlestar Galactica, people behave in insane ways so that we can learn an Important Civics Lesson!"
And that's when Roslin & Zarek do the Presidential hokey pokey, too. Ugh. But making it all about "will they discover that Gaeta was helping them in time?" was such a lame cop-out. If they'd actually killed someone innocent, that would at least have been daring. And a better set-up for the end of the season.

I will always remember her as one of Steve Sanders's girlfriends on 90210.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I think most episodes of Bonanza were 60 minutes
