Brannon Braga, ladies and gentlemen.

Maybe they will have him as a guest star soon and kill him. We would then cheer this as one of the best series ever.

*EDIT* How exactly does it happen that Brannon Braga has a show on the air and Joss Whedon doesn't have about 15?

"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."

I'm not even much of a Whedon fan and I agree with that.

I liked this last one because the problem wasn't the focus. The story wasn't about dealing with the "birds". It was about the people, the problem was just serving as a form of pressure to drive the story. I mean hell, they didn't even bother to show the two vital parts of dealing with the problem, capturing a pair of the creatures and then the actual pheromone dispersal. Both happened as background events.

I know these points were made but I'm going to repeat them, glad the son was shown being punished for his stupidity, and glad for the way the dad handled the ex-boyfriend. Nice bit of reality for the former and good avoidance of the usual angsty love drama for the latter.

Also liked the dad's reaction to "How do you know if a boy likes you."

Too bad solider boy proved to be worthless. Should have worn his damn helmet.

Next week though...amnesia virus, really? Time travel and dinosaurs and a hidden rogue colony and a crazy genius missing son aren't enough? I fear the angsty love drama we avoided this episode is going to show up in the next one. "You're my wife, we have 3 kids, I love you."
"...yeah, sorry, who are you again?"
*sob*

Though who knows, I wasn't expecting them to handle the ex-boyfriend like they did, maybe they'll handle this differently.

Let Braga have his small potatoes. Whedon is busy with the Avengers movie.

I'd rather have one long running and great TV show than a single great movie.

I second that.

Young girl in the latest episode is very reminiscent of Newt. Theres a piece of background music that I think has been used before but I can't place it.

Also - "I'm in the initial stages of courting your daughter" is not a good line to use on someone carrying a gun.

No, given the situation it is the absolute best way to put that.

That guy bugged me because that was incredibly formal. Even though his excuse is that CO said so, I doubt he meant to be like that.

Fuck yes he did. If Colonel Fucking Quaritch tells you that you are going to be a gentleman and court a lady you are damn well going to be a gentleman to a T and court her lest he rip your balls off and use you as allosaur bait because he wants a new end table for his bedroom set.

In that case...

Kidding aside, I like the Colonel and the beard.

I did like his table.

And I actually like that soldier. He is unique and its a nice different, not annoying like know-it-all-but-really-don't.
