Regarding last night's Caprica...

I bet a million cubits that Vergis is behind Amanda's visions of her dead brother. He's making Amanda go crazy because he knows that Daniel loves her. He's also brewing trouble between them by telling Amanda that he thinks Daniel has stolen the MCP chip.

So, I finally broke down and netflixed Stargate Universe on bluray this week. Let me tell ya, I have a whole new appreciation for this series now. I still think it's trying too hard to be like BSG, but rewatching all the episodes with the commentary turned on has really warmed me up to the characters in a way the original broadcasts didn't. If you're still on the fence about this show, or haven't yet partaken in it yet, I highly recommend doing so before the second half starts in two weeks. And get it in bluray, if you can. There are extra special features there you won't find in the dvd release. Besides, a show this visually stunning demands hi-def.

Here's one for you: set in the future, enhanced humans engage in martial arts battles. Only our hero shuns enhancements. His girlfriend is kidnapped by the evil guy who runs the games---and in the most evil idea I've seen in awhile--not only blackmails the hero with her life, but also the fact that he can brainwash the girl to make her think that he [the villain] is the hero and basically rape her while she thinks she's having sex with her boyfriend. Anyone? Bueller?

@Darklighter: I wanted to, but the TV was occupied. Tonight is homemade pizza and movie night, so I'm hoping I can squeeze it into the line up. They can't say no if I tell them it's for the greater good . . . (greater good).

Ok here goes. There was a movie on TV in the eighties. One guy is working on teleportation. He steps on a pad and actually teleports to another pad that was at his girlfriends or ex. But she was working on a robot. He becomes a cyborg but it's not apparent at first.

I also seem to remember at the end he was swimming in the ocean and kicked off his shoes. No idea why I remember that part.

@Kevin Howell -The Unseen Commentor: Can you describe anything else about the movie? I have vague memories of a movie that involved teleportation, the woman was blonde, they ended up on a strange world and were trying to get back home, they ran into a blue guy who shot arrows with glowy orange balls on the ends.

I don't remember any cyborgs, though, but I was probably 4 or 5 years old when I saw it on Showtime.

It's probably not the same movie that you're thinking of, but your description reminded me of my own lost movie!

@dansabato001: There are some buttons at the bottom of the box. Left opens the options for pictures, either upload (which never worked for me) and URL link. Past the URL into the link box.

No deletion options for posting. Only an edit window of 15 minutes.

I might add that some commentary with pictures or links is welcome. Unless the picture is particularly awesome and no words are needed.
