I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.

I think my very favorite thing about tonight's BSG may have been the commercials for the chupacabra movie. CHUPACABRA! I may need to put on "Bad Blood." 'Cause it's not that Mexican goat-sucking thing, either.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

No. It eats Meerkats! (which is really impressive, as I thought they were African

Anyone else think Claudia Black doesn't really have a SG-1-verse vibe about her ? Or maybe I've just been watching too much Season 1 lately.

Damn that was a crappy episode of Buck Rogers SG-1.

You know, it was stupid and badly written, and I enjoyed the hell out of it anyway. Because it was gleefully silly, and it was Claudia Black on my tv!

I am shallow.

I used to really enjoy Buck Rogers. I guess I just expect a little bit more than that out of SG-1.

I'm also not that crazy about stories that use the spaceship. What I love about Stargate is that it's not the typical sci-fi space opera. Whenever they have stuff with the big Captain Chain and the bridge of the Starship it just doesn't feel original.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It did have a Buck Rogers vibe, didn't it? I still liked it, despite being annoyed by how easily she was able to commandeer the Prometheus.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

BSG seems to be really picking up. I loved last night's ep.

Oddly though, it's now a show I'm compelled to discuss, like, at all. I watch an ep, think "Yeah, that was good," and that's it. I wish it were more discuss-y.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Having the old doctor smoke a cigarette threw me out of the moment.

I have no problem with Starbuck's cigar, as it's no stretch to imagine there are analogues of tobacco out there. But the scene with the doctor smoking and the president objecting was too current earth culture in tone.

Not to mention the whole breast cancer storyline, which I'm trying to accept. It feels like they are trying to manipulate us with an anvil. And anvils are usually lost on me in shows.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I was more thrown off by the "this is chemo and radiation only by a different name" thing.

I'm having a real hard time seeing this as either pre-Earth or post-Earth without major holes, and even Earth-parallel is kinda problematic.

Yeah, that's certainly another addition to my issue with the storyline.
