"Walk out of this cabin while you still can."
That whole scene just killed me.
I really really like that they cast someone with an actual body for Kara. I have no idea what size she really is, but she looks like she could really be a soldier. I love that.
Yes! This.
The one thing that does bug me about the cast is that there's a huge gap between the old and the young, at least in the military. Did all the soldiers in their 40's die in the Cylon attacks?
Well, you could wank that the ship was about to be decommisioned, so they'd have better places to put the in-between people than on an outdated Battlestar.
I really enjoyed the last Battlestar GaLostica, flashbacks and all. And yeah, that scene with Starbuck and Adama was intense. I thought they did a very nice job with the attitude change after that conversation as well, because it could easily have come off as really forced, and it didn't strike me that way.
I liked the way Clark was with Alicia. I think, that if she had been a little more patient -- there would have been no need for the red kryptonite of roofieness.
I don't get the idea of them getting married -- that's just weird, and yeah, Ma Kent's reaction was stupid. Why wasn't she more angry with Alicia?
MI-5 - BTW, interesting how they cast someone who resembles Zoe so much to play Danny's love interest (Harry's daughter).
What kills me is the DS9 episode "Trials and Tribblations" where they firmly establish that yes, in fact, Star Fleet went through a period where that's what the outfits looked like, rather than try and wank it out like it never happened.
And now that Enterprise features very functional, militaristic outfits, you really have to wonder what that particular period in Federation fashion history was all about.
Well, Enterprise also mucked up the Klingons in that "T&T" established that, yes, the Klingons used to look like TOS Klingons (one of the great throaway jokes in that ep - "We do not speak of it!"), and then Enterprise has to go and use the current Klingon makeup. Feh.
NBC has announced and posted clips from the US version of The Office. About the only positive I can see offhand is that it stars Steve Carell. Although, watching the clips (I think you have to use (or at least spoof) IE), it does look amusing, keeping a lot of the original while still making it American.
Huh. That looks like less of a disaster than I had imagined.
I've only seen the pilot, and it wasn't nearly the disaster I was expecting. Steve Carrell is perfectly cast, and they've managed to do a decent job replicating the rhythms of the original. I'm curious to see how good the original scripts are (the pilot is essentially a shot-for-shot remake of the British pilot, after that all the scripts are original).
Brilliant or no, I don't know if I can bear an entire show based on the idea of watch-from-the-hall. Clearly, I am the wrong demographic, since I also do not watch humiliation-reality shows.
