Sorry guys, I forgot to make a banner last night.

I'll have one up this evening though!

^ Don't worry about it Twist. The OP still looks good.

Man what is with this show and these titles?

It's a shame they aren't linked this year like they were with S1&2.

danvers · 04-24-2015, 11:09 AM

don't worry about that, bb. thanks for starting the thread

Less Than Perfect · 04-24-2015, 10:56 PM

Thanks for the thread Twisty! OP still looks good regardless!

Are they not linked? I just assumed they were since they were in the past.

Thanks, Twisty. Can't wait to see the banner when you post it.

I think I read somewhere that they weren't, and "the weight of this combination" isn't even directly taken from a scientific work but from a speech by Eisenhower or something like that. Which again is a departure from previous seasons.

I believe they ARE from the same Eisenhower speech:

- Military-Industrial Complex Speech, Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1961
- Eisenhower's farewell address - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

They seem to be the same speech?

Dunno if I'll be here for the livechat tonight, guys. A friend of mine wants to go out to dinner (and frankly after hearing about 302, I'm kinda meh).

Can anyone pm me a livestream when the time comes?

Scully_fan · 04-25-2015, 02:17 PM

I'm not here for the livestream seeing as I've already watched the ep.

Normally I wouldn't condone watching leaks but this way it means I can actually have a decent sleep tonight and not stay up to watch or wake crazily early.

Ah so they are from the same speech.

Thanks for the info! I assume then that this year the titles have more of a militaristic theme than the previous science based ones? Makes sense.

Me too please if anyone has it!

Edited: I just sent you a link but FF died a bit so I'm not sure if it sent.

So considering there was more of the Castor clones this episode, I didn't mind it.

I'm gonna have to rewatch it again before I have real thoughts. I thought Ari did pretty well this episode though.

x1013x · 04-25-2015, 07:18 PM

Sooooooo....where are these mangoes?

Was not feelin all the Castor scenes. Did not feel one once of pity for Seth or Rudy. They are both creepy ****ers. Heres to hoping they all glitch out.

everlanded · 04-25-2015, 07:37 PM

I'm glad Art's back at least, but man am I disinterested rn. Conversations like the Paul/Cal one about him needing to get through to Sarah are exactly the kind I wouldn't have predicted seeing on this show in S1.

Less Than Perfect · 04-25-2015, 09:42 PM

Rewatched and still don't mind this episode. Though judging on the quietness of the board, I'd say I'm in the minority.

I'm kind of glad they've finally decided to take Kira away. I didn't think they ever would, but I'm glad for it.

Even though Rudy and Seth wanted a threesome, that wasn't the scene where I thought they were gonna kiss.

Guess that clonecest is gone now. I don't think Miller or Mark are nearly as friendly with Rudy.

Mark burning off his tattoo with a blow torch. *shudders*
