Buffy ,'Potential'
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.
Mo Ryan at the Tribune has her usual post-BSG blog entry here, and a follow-up interview with the ep's writers (including Jane Espenson) here.
Read through the comments on that first post; there are some interesting ones, including a detailed timeline that a viewer has put together from all the exposition in the ep.
Did we talk about the possibility that the Head! characters are Daniel?
I'm not sure, but I do recall reading a spoiler about one and/or the other.
For an episode that is past? Or one that is yet to come?
(i.e., are you talking about something that Anders said in "No Exit" or something that hasn't happened and should be spoilerfonted now?)
I believe it was a genuine white-fonty spoiler (a general "fact" not tied to any particular ep that I noticed, but presumable yet-to-air), so I can't even begin to separate what I may recall or have thought about the most recently aired ep, and I'm not sure where I read it (mayhaps TWoP).
I lie, when Anders mentioned that a "warning" appeared to them, as a woman to him and as a man to ?Tory?, which immediately made me think of Head!Six and Head!Baltar. And Head!Six's last stated that she was an angel of God (and we haven't seen her since the Baltarites, no?)
Well, remember when the Baltarites were being confronted by that marine and Head!Six held Baltar up when he didn't want to stand up to the guy?
That may have been the last time we saw the Head! characters. (Unless Head!Baltar was more recent.)
It was either then or when Baltar was speaking to his groupies that Head!Six withdrew (which, before or after the moment you speak of, I don't know).
Brilliantly funny spec on who Daniel might *should* be: [link]
Speaking of TWOP, I thought this was pretty good (from the end of Jacob's recaplet):
So Brother John Cavil gives a fairly moving and convincing speech for why he's so pissed off, and you finally get Cavil: he's basically like Pinocchio going, "Really? Lederhosen? Fuckin' forever?" Only instead of singing a little song about it and kicking Ellen in her shapely Gepetto shins, he knowingly and nastily:
Destroyed utterly the life and civilizations on twelve planets, burnt the knowledge of their creators out of his brothers and sisters, killed Daniel and boxed Three, wiped and boxed the Final Five just to make sure they ended up in the holocaust, had a day-long conversation with Chief about how he wasn't a Cylon even though he totally was, tried his best to kill off the idea of God(s) Himself(s), plucked out his father's eyeball, and fucked his own mother while she was in mortal mode on New Caprica. Moral of story? You Never Fuck With Pinocchio. Welcome to the last act of the last season of the very best TV show of all time, and here's your Dramamine.
Wow, Kathy, I almost posted those exact same two paragraphs, I kid you not! I've been trying to keep my Jacob-groupiness on the down-low.
The only thing he missed was adding "bitch" before that final period.
