Some of the Who "quotes" are really fun to mess with, even though they're really quite easy to figure out. It's like MadLibs, only... FANTASTIC!

@vanthuenu: Oh, I'm sure, I just wanted to emphasize Lizfu's point about sloppy writing and weak rationalizations by mocking btgoss's (why not just kill the baby?).

Dragon Ball better last three hours, during which time only around 11 minutes of plot movement should have happened.

I can't tell, mind, because the link to the Dragon Ball movie blog leads to some forum thread about BSG...

@Charlie Jane Anders: But hasn't everyone been presuming that Claire was going to die ever since we saw the ep with Kate on trial that ended with her having Aaron?

So, any pissing off has already happened.

@Falconfire: I've mentioned this before under a different post, but... From the promo, it looks like Callie eves-dropped on one of the meetings of the four (and was possibly considering telling someone?). Then Tory beat the crap out of her (bloodied nose, cowering in a corner in one shot) before throwing her out of the airlock (Tory hitting a switch on a control panel).

@Tim Faulkner: no, the second child is definitely suppose to be just a relevant. The episode probably puts emphasis on there is a second cylon-human hybrid.

@btgoss: Cally kills herself because there can only be one relevant Cylon-human hybrid baby and Moore has to write himself out of a corner, you mean?

Cally kills herself because her baby is half-Cylon. Nothing to do with Tyrol. the kid is half Cylon, and that breaks her mind.

@Charlie Jane Anders: I forget in which season they did her flashbacks about the car accident, her mom dying, etc.; but that was the last time anything significant happened involving her that wasn't about the baby. They haven't done anything interesting with her in a long time.

Strange to think that she's totally oblivious to the fact that she was on a plane with her father's dead body and her half-brother, and that she'll likely die before knowing.

Wouldn't any Dragonball movie be required to spend the first 1/3 of the movie recapping what happened before then spend the last 1/3 of the movie teasing you with what's in the next movie?

@btgoss: He died so many times its not even funny. In fact they ALL died like 3-4 times. That was the whole point of the dragonballs at one point, they where using them to resurrect people who where killed, going out getting them all, using the wish, then tracking them down again.

As for the Cally ending... i said it before here and was mocked but Ill say it again....

Moore should have let her be raped and killed in the first season, as they had planned because as horrible as that is to say, at least she would have died with some dignity fighting off her attacker.

Her committing suicide, even if Tory helps her somehow is the biggest fucking cop out loser of a ending for a girl whos constantly fought back. Shes emotionally driven (hell they all are) but NEVER has her personality shown her to be emotionally destructive like the rest of the fuckups on the series.

Moore can blow me for how badly he's writing her death. Killed by one of the "cylons" yeah I can see that, to keep her "quiet" But assisted suicide because "on no my husband is a stinky Cylon who didnt know he was and despite the fact that SHE WORKS WITH A CYLON ON THE FLIGHT DECK AND HAS NO ISSUES WITH IT?" Come on Moore that is the stupidest fucking thing I have ever seen. You cant have her kill herself over her husband being a cylon but have her being happy go lucky with a cylon of the SAME MODEL she shot in the stomach 2 seasons ago. Obviously she understands they are TWO different personalities and not all of them are evil...

There isnt much happening with Claire's character. It seems quite obvious that they will eventually kill her character which is why it could be a foiler.
OR Claire develops the sickness and hands over Aaron to Kate. Maybe they have planned better things in store for her in the future episodes.

Kara and Leoben make way more sense together (as a pair, not necessarily as a couple) than Kara and Lee...I think that whatever her destiny, it's tied to Leoben.

Also...wasn't the hybrid's prophecy worded differently than stated above?

@[Dextr]: I think if they kill off Claire, a lot of people will be upset. And that seems to be what people are hinting at. Could be a dodge though.

With Spock visiting the past, he'll most likely take the psudo-name from Yesteryear from TAS. It will be a nice tie in for the fans. Hell, they even used the Guardian of Forever in that one too.

Remakes grrrr. What is the point of remaking "The Greatest American Hero"?

I guess Hollywierd thinks that we are all a bunch of sappy, wet-brained nostalgics who will buy anything as long as they can link it to something from our childhood.

Goku dies in the movie? This is not so bad, didn't he die in the cartoons? At least once I think he was "dead."

Lizfu — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 08:14:56 PDT

I hate to say it, but as stupid as Cally was for marrying the guy who nearly beat her to death, she doesn't really deserve such a shitty ending. And then Tyrol "decid[ing] he never really loved Cally because she was too whiny"....that's just cheap and disrespectful for any character.

Tigh gets Six and his dead wife Ellen mixed up.

Yeah, so did I....when Ellen first appeared on the show. She looked very much like an older version of Six, and I was wondering how intentional it was.

Leoben: So we can expect more freaky mindfucking and creepy fanservice. Will Starbuck finally succumb to her Stockholm Syndrome, and that part of the episode turn into a really bad fanfic, complete with rape AND healing sex tropes?

Why would Sayid and Hurley be at Christian Shepard's funeral? That doesn't make much sense to me. They never knew him.

I dread that it may be Locke, but I really just can't see that happening. Although I also can't see him surviving the show. Anybody that thinks Locke will simply live on at the end in the jungle making trippy-paste and hunting boar with a bowie knife is kidding themselves.

Avatar sounds so good. It would really be great if J. Cameron went high-brow and actually provided a story that provides everything that great SF can, especially with a big fx budget. One can hope.
