It's theoretically possible I picked that up from discussion, mind you.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Smallville, Due South, Farscape
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That article makes it sound a nightmare.

Have you seen ads for it? It looks AWFUL. Like they are trying to do a whole series in the style of A KNIGHT'S TAIL, and then doing a half-assed job of it. Given that I couldn't bring myself to watch AKT, I'd guess nightmare isn't even close to an overstatement. shudders

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Per the mini-series, Kobol is where they all came from and Earth is a legendary thirteenth colony.
This is also true in the original series.

Karen Cliche (and no Vic Webster) is all the strike against it I needed. She's not so much good.

Oh, gods, no. I'm a Musketeers fanatic, and I can't see myself tuning in to that more than once to point and laugh. It looks like Roar with rapiers.
As for the religion on BSG, I have noticed one person saying something like "By the lords of Kobol," which I assume to be their gods. Six, at least, has some kind of sin-based theology that has multiple echoes to Christianity without mentioning any messianic figure so far. I suspect they'll be expanding on matters a bit as things progress. Or I hope so.

Though, discounting the awful Galactica 1980, it's never estabilshed when the events of the series take place in relation to Earth time (before or after now, that is).

It's best to look at that particular series as badfic that was televised.

So wait - the second BG was called Water?
Huh. I guess I did see them both, but didn't notice a transition from one ep to the next. Maybe it came up during my dog walk break. Cool. One less thing I have to scramble around for since I missed the second MI-5 last weekend.
