It's SCI-FI Friday, ya bastards!

[johnfunk]

Better-than-usual Stargate SG-1. Better than usual Stargate Atlantis. And xero minus thirty minutes to part one of the Battlestar Galactica Season 2.1 finale. It's SCI-FI Friday, ya bastards!

(Above is the mandatory Hot Grace Park Pic)

[CatholicEdHead]

1. Actually it is the Season 2.5 Finale

Next week is the last week of new ones until July.

[johnfunk]

2. 2.1... 2.5...

You're right, but... but... Grace Park! Yowzah, baby!

[havocmom]

3. shhhhh, don't say it too loud. I have a secret plot to steal the clicker

so I can watch it! heh heh heh... :havocmom rides off to her chosen ambush spot to await the unsuspecting havocdad:

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

10. Remember, set your phaser on stun.

[havocmom]

22. phaser? PHASER? I dun need no stink-ing phASER!

All it took was the sweet, delicate aroma of custard baking...

The hand that stirs the soup, RULES THE REMOTE!

It was a cool episode. I love how they call the cylons 'toasters'.

So, is Baltar gonna get his own planet?
Will Starbuck get her squeeze to safety?
Will the fleet run out of pencils?
Is Dean Stockwell's character a basket case or a messiah?

Tune in next week! In the meantime, be sure and drink your Ovaltine!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

23. LOL! Spot on! It was a fun episode and with your tags, it was

Flash Gorden!

[Benfea]

28. Remind me never to oppose you.

When I begin my plot to take over the world, I think I'm gonna have to skip your house.

;)

Glad you enjoyed the episode!

[havocmom]

30. Yes, do avoid Chez` Havoc if you plan to take over the world!

I am SOOO past the age of feeling one should always fight fair ;)

Plus, there is a REALLY big dog here and his prime directive is: Take care of mom.
See, mom has all the recipes!

[Cush]

4. Battlestar time

[CatholicEdHead]

5. The Following Segment has violent content

parental discrestion advised.

Good start already

[MissB]

6. Glad to hear SG-1 is better than usual.

I watch it to waste time before SG Atlantis starts. It generally sucks.

SG Atlantis has been pretty good this season, but nothing holds a candle to BSG.

One more hour here before SG-1 starts.

[Cush]

7. Chief went mental

[johnfunk]

29. Chief Tyrol has PTSD and is getting counseling from an agnostic priest

Why do I have the troubling feeling that:

1. ... we didn't see all of Chief's dream (I agree with the comment by "idiosynchronic" in this thread at the First Draft Blog);and
2. ... Tyrol's therapist, Brother Kaevil (Dean Stockwell of Quantum Leap fame and much more), is really a Cylon?

[NewJeffCT]

37. I was thinking about that

Was the priest joking when he said he was at all the cylon meetings & tyrol wasn't there?

Seems a bit of an odd thing to say.

[Benfea]

48. Didn't seem odd to me.

It fit in with the character, to be honest. Heck, I'd've made the same joke.

[CatholicEdHead]

8. And so it begins

wow........

Edit: The podcast is already out but I am waiting for obvious reasons.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

9. Day-um! Intense beginnings. Will it live up to the hype of

"World Premier Event?"

[CatholicEdHead]

11. Dean Stockwell as a priest

intresting....

[Cush]

12. hey, it's Al from Quantum Leap (Dean Stockwell)

[CatholicEdHead]

13. Politics above logic

sound familiar?

[ikojo]

14. Two weeks to Dr Who on Sci Fi

I hope it's not on at the same time as Monk...

[CatholicEdHead]

16. There are things called TIVOs and VCRs you know

[Benfea]

25. And if you're too lazy for that, you can download it legally from iTunes.

No text.

No text, I say!

[CatholicEdHead]

15. Jump inside a mountain?

[MissB]

17. Someone jumped inside a mountain?

Like a ship?

[CatholicEdHead]

18. Raptor 612

[MissB]

20. Ooooh

cool.

[Benfea]

32. I doubt the pilot and crew of Raptor 612 thought it was "cool" :P -nt

[Deja Q]

19. And 3 weeks from now, tonight, on sci-fi:

[Benfea]

26. I can't wait!

I really need to get the bad taste of that awful American-made TV movie out of my mouth. The above series should do the trick rather nicely.

[CatholicEdHead]

21. Lots of setup (as to be expected) this week

It should pay off next week.

So Starbuck et al are now cut off from the Raptors and under mortar fire.

Edit: Looks like a 90min episode next week.

[Benfea]

27. I still wanna know what becomes of ol' Chief. -NT

[Moochy]

33. What was his status? Arrested?

I could not tell whether he was back in the brig, or free. He was having an intense nightmare/psychotic episode and was woken up. Extenuating circumstances and all, no motive, etc. It was a pretty awful scene though.

[CatholicEdHead]

35. I would expect he is in some court martial proceedings

They probably ordered him for a psychological evaluation. He has also had a hard time since his Sharon was killed and Helo came back with another one. Something eventually snapped.

[Benfea]

24. Meh. She couldn't act her way out of a wet paper bag.

No amount of eye candy is worth listening to her mangle dialog.

[intrepid_wanderer]

31. I certainly hope my Tivo is getting all this!!

2 weeks I've missed while in Virginia Beach for company training.... heck, it's not warm & the 'sun deck'/Promenade is not even open to enjoy the sights. so Ihave to use the little balcony/deck off my room...

I sure hope I can expense off my internet access!!!!!

:bounce:

[CatholicEdHead]

34. If not just download it from the iTunes music store

and catch up on your computer. I would expect the DVDs for Season 2.5 to be out sometime around Memorial Day.

[intrepid_wanderer]

36. good thinking...

... although I sure hope I don't need to pay (again) to see my Friday night shows for what will be three weeks!!!


All the best 2 all the best.

:bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

[LiviaOlivia]

38. I hope Anders dies

Sorry but I do.

[NewJeffCT]

39. why do you hope that?

you want Starbuck & Apollo to hook up? don't like Anders?

[LiviaOlivia]

41. I just don't like him.

But I hope he dies gloriously. I think Kara should be (will be by design?)ever suffering and not hook-up with Lee.

[Benfea]

42. Meanie!

Hasn't poor Kara suffered enough? She's already pretty psychotic/neurotic as it is.

[LiviaOlivia]

43. But that's half the show.

Right? Ever-suffering torment. Just like us Earthlings.

[Benfea]

44. Yeah, I know...

…but I like Kara. :(

[Katherine Brengle]

40. I LOVE SG-1 I have 8 seasons on DVD, but no cable--

I watch it constantly while I am online on my laptop's DVD player, and I am completely obsessed, lol.

Can't wait for season 9 on DVD! (No spoilers please!)

[Benfea]

45. How can you have 8 seasons? The season 2 finale airs next Friday.

I'm so confused!

[Sgent]

46. Stargate SG-1

has been around for a LONG time -- 9 seasons (inc this one), with the whole thing starting as a movie w/ James Spader (Daniel Jackson) and Kurt Russell (Jack O'Neil).

SG Atlantis is ending its 2nd season.

[Benfea]

47. Oh, sorry. I thought you were talking about BSG

The current SG-1 story line involves a rather open and direct criticism of organized religion.

PS — if you want to watch a TV series, it's cheaper to just get a Netflix account.
