You faked cancer?

Still haven't seen it.

We're back on Galactica after a break. We watched Eps 13 & 14 from Season 3 tonight. I don't think this season feels as focused as the first two, but there's been some great moments. The two part Algae planet episode was good. The boxing episode was wild.

I thought this was a thread about Tony Snow.

I thought this was a Cherry Top thread. Speaking of whom, a few weeks ago Cherry Top was showing up on the Who's Online box. Anybody know if it's the real cherry pooper or some newbie who stole his handle?

(sorry for cutting in on your House repeat thread, chance)

Possibly the best of the series.

Season 3 had a few clunkers (if you haven't yet, you'll soon suffer through Helo and the racist doctor episode) but overall it was second only to Lost last season. And maybe the Wire, kenrico'd say. The last three are a doozy.

Seriously. "You faked cancer to get high?"

The doctor episode was the second one we watched tonight. The soap opera with Lee and Kara is hopefully over and as always Baltar should die.

It was a good one, if you're into repeats.

House never gets old. Well, some of the Stacey episodes, but other than that..

Baltar will only get more and more fascinating, pitiful and despicable, all at once. It's rather amazing.

I seem to recall Pete saying that Cherry Top was no longer banned. In fact, I believe, he said that he was never out right banned at all... Just that he never bothered to come back. Smokeyjoe did a number on him and I am sure he didnt feel too welcome to come back.

Then again, I could be wrong.

I like the ole Cherry Top...I hope he comes back

He's in remission, so who knows

This scene in the Royal Tenenbaums is fucking hilarious.

I nearly suffocated laughing the first time I saw it.

ROYAL

I?m dying, baby.

Etheline stops. She looks to Royal.

ROYAL

I?m sick as a dog. I?ll be dead in six weeks. I?m dying.

ETHELINE

What are you talking about?

Royal stares at her blankly. He nods.

ETHELINE

What happened?

Royal shrugs. Etheline looks stunned.

ETHELINE

Oh, my God.

Etheline looks as if she is going to faint. Royal seems
suddenly worried.

ETHELINE

I?m sorry. I didn?t know.

Etheline cannot seem to catch her breath. Royal looks around
nervously.

ETHELINE

What?d they say? What?s the prognosis?

Etheline begins to hyperventilate. Royal tries to calm her
down.

ROYAL

Take it easy, Ethel.

Etheline stumbles a step and Royal catches her. He looks
scared.

ROYAL

Hold on. Hold on.

ETHELINE
(urgently)

Where?s the doctor? Let?s get --

ROYAL

Wait a second.

Royal holds Etheline by the shoulders. He hesitates. He
says gently, trying to comfort her:

ROYAL

Listen. I?m not dying. But I need some time.

Etheline looks puzzled.

ROYAL

A month. Maybe two. I want us to --

Etheline slaps Royal hard in the face. She says furiously:

ETHELINE

What?s wrong with you?

ROYAL

Ethel.

ETHELINE

Go away!

Etheline turns away and walks quickly across the street.

ROYAL

Baby. I am dying.

Etheline stops. She looks back to Royal. She can see from
the look on his face that now he is telling the truth. She
goes over to him in the middle of the intersection.

ETHELINE

Are you or aren?t you?

ROYAL

(pause)

Dying? Yes.
