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.
After all this, I'm wicked sad about Gaeta's execution. I suppose that stems from shows that never end keeping characters around for longer than they reasonably should have existed, but I really had hoped there would be more fallout for Gaeta when the reckoning came due. Being bludgeoned to death with his own bloody stump? I can deal. Cold firing squad preceded by one last sad glimpse into Gaeta-as-a-normal-guy-just-wanting-to-be-understood? Fuck, man.
And, HELLO, Samuel Anders, please?!!!! I keeel you! The hell, I need some sign, even if it is still "on death's doorstep". It's like Ted Early getting arrested at the beginning of an episode of Life and then no further acknowledgment, only worse.
Thanks, Jen. That makes sense. (Or the itching. Guess imminent death is a good distraction.)
Yeah, it was affecting at the end. But, I mean, that was kind of expected, I guess. Zarek, though? Pffft. Good riddance. Aw, good-bye Original Apollo, though.
Guess imminent death is a good distraction.
Right?

Doesn't it feel like a fire sale on deaths of named characters, though?
It does, though I am thinking this might be it for a while. I don't know why. I just do. Well, maybe because the big coup is over.
Well, Richard Hatch had a good meaty run.
I should say, I enjoyed Zarek as a character - good riddance within the frame of the story.
Right - Zarek was a very interesting character - and Richard Hatch played him really well.

I was about to say "I don't expect them to stop at Wash and Book", except I don't think they've reached that level, yet. When one of the final Five go, or Lee (again and for realz) or Adama or Roslin bite it (or Starbuck, again). But, I guess I've read the interviews, whatnot, and expected the redshirts to start being replaced with regular cast members.
I really truly thought Roslin was toast last ep (before the previews spoiled it) and thought there was a chance that Adama was toast for this ep and that Roslin would indeed unleash holy helly on his behalf.
But, no, I'm personally not getting the "everything must go" vibe.
Loved this ep!
All of Tyrol's crawling through the infrastructure had me shouting "Jeffries tubes!!" at the screen. I figured it was RDM's little tribute to Star Trek, although being BSG, the tubes were really tight and a bitch to get through.
