Random and probably off-topic, but ... where does "Your inner child pretty much runs the place/show, doesn't it/huh?" (or something close) come from? I know it's a line from a movie or show, plausible to think it's Buffy or Angel, but I just can't place it. Hell, for all I know it's from Friends or something. And now I'm ... what? ... brainwormed? ... until I figure it out. Anyone?
ETA: Or, I could be unlazy and just google it. Which I did. It's from Drew Carey. Which explains why I couldn't place it, because I've watched only a handful of eps of that show. At least I caught one with a good line, I guess.
I just watched another one today, where they first meet the Tolans (sp?), and Omach (sp?) struck me exactly that way. I wanted to smack tha arrogant bastard.
Yes. And again, it didn't help that Tobin Bell, despite his many appearances on various Canadian shows, will always be Perry Bauer to me, scumbag extraordinaire from LFN.
Oh! Speaking of, would any LFN fans be interested in seeing Roy Dupius' nude screencaps from some movie? I found them the other day, and can try to remember to post a link when I get home late tonight (or early tomorrow morning, as the case may be...).
I hate to say this but I really kind of liked some of the new BG. Not all of it, but it wasn't hideous.
Although I kept watching it and seeing influences from other tv shows and movies.
I liked BG quite a bit. So far it's a lot better than the original, at least from a science and technology standpoint. I liked Adama and the XO, too. OTOH, both Apollo and Starbuck appear to be jerks. And Baltar reminds me of the whiny guy on Earth 2.
I'm not keeping their names straight very well, but I was highly distracted trying to ignore one side of a phone call during the middle part.
Is Baltar the scientist that fucked everything up? Personally I liked the guy--Helio (?) that stayed on the planet. Which he so shouldn't have done. And I got distracted by Mary McDonnell, to me she always sounds like she's on the verge of some kind of emotional breakdown. Even when she's calm and in control.
I liked BG, too. Really dug the thump thump thump thump-thump-thump background beat in place of soaring orchestrals in some places. Thought the glowy spine was hilarious for the imagined conversations it inspired in my brain ... the scene with
the baby was really quite ... yech. Yeah, evil bad. Got it, thanks.
Enjoyed it. Will watch more.
About halfway through the first part right now. I'm very fascinated by the way they've incorporated a number of events that were part of the series (the Cylon war, Zach's death), but it's all different, too.
Also, like DX, I'm very much liking the science and tech. THere's also a significant element of realism--so far most of the shots that occur in outer space have had no or very little sound, which is a choice I've waited many long years for more filmmakers to make.
My only comment so far is that it's evident that the slick super genius doesn't go in for doggy style.
