Good to know, ita.
I think I'm off the torrent bandwagon for a bit, at least where it comes to things I can otherwise get on my own Tivo, even if I have to wait a bit.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Dude. Strega's doing the BG recaps. Damn, I...have enough shows to watch. It's supposed to not suck, though? Sean seems to like it. And I was going to be all apathetic about it, too.

Sean seems to like it.
Yeah, but my taste has been known to be out of step with the rest of the Universe. From time to time.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Hey, I liked it, too, P-C, and you know that thing where we are the same person, your crackheaded fondness for a certain cheesy 60's Arthurian musical excepted.

Raisinettes.
So, I watched the latest Atlantis episode and what do you know? They did the entire episode on how Teyla's this special half-wraith princess, and I... actually didn't hate it. Despite the potential danger of massive overuse of this particular plot-device, I thought the storyline had interesting possibilities.
Now, the episode before that--I loved it, despite my general dislike of clip shows. Have I said recently how much I love McKay? Weir had some lovely moments, too, and I found myself liking the Sergeant Hardass.
Also, Ponytail must DIE.

She's a what now? Wow. OK, looking forward to see how they make that work. Tomorrow, though.
I'm all chicken about doing the thing now, but this one's already halfway done, so...

BG is good stuff so far, I think. Got me excited to a degree that hasn't happened since, to speak purely of SF TV, Babylon 5.

Lysana, that's a good analogy. It's very serious and portentous; I do hope they can leaven it with the occasional humor. Like the poker scene with Baltar and Starbuck, that was pretty good, I thought.
But Boomer? She's so totally fucked. And I'm dying to know if the one on Caprica thinks she's human, too. And if so, how that works. At what point did they get split up? When did the Cylons get placed? Did they take Boomer and replicate her, or was she always a Cylon?
Many fascinating plot-related questions to ask!

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Poor Boomer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Aha. I just worked out what made me think the Stargate special was a retrospective ... the phrase "provide highlights of previous seasons" as the show description. However, it looks like every scene so far is forward-looking, as it should very well be.
Hey -- are we establishing a convention for whitefonting the current run of BSG?
