An article about BSG and it's good use of actors that aren't 20 somethings.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
including one that is finale like.
I wonder if it will be the same as the UK ending.

Ha! You mean the one where I managed to completely not accept what obviously happened? I'm curious to see whether they'll go there. Kinda hope not, but what are the options? I guess they could completely pull him out of the 70s, but that would be a shame.
I've really liked the US version. Sad that they are cancelling it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why didn't you not accept it, JenP?
JenP - Mar 03, 2009 3:28:47 pm PST #7058 of 30001
Because I hated the idea that he committed suicide. I wanted him to end up in the 70s, but I wanted there to be a shiny, happy way for that to happen (What??). I can't even remember how I talked myself around the flying leap off of a roof...

Oh, man, *this* debate again.

Hee. Was there anyone on my side of the fence? I didn't think so at the time, so I was LA-LA-LA-ing REALLY hard against the suicide scenario.

I'm pretty sure Jon B didn't like the suicide aspect--or at least the satisfaction with that aspect.
Me, I'm good with it. I think it was terribly terribly sad, but I'm not mad about it.

Jon B and I were on the same side of the fence, as I recall.
I was OK with being mad about it, because it was because of my involvement with the story and characters, not because it was an asspull, if that makes any sense.
Man, I *loved* that show.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I hated that ending! I wanted Sam to spend some time investigating whether the stuff he thought had happened really had.
If he decided to "go back" after that, I might have been ok.
