Summary:
"Come on, Sheldon. Cylons."
“With the cancellation of Dollhouse we’ll need something to replace it,” Sheldon said over breakfast one day. The proclamation had come with no preface. He and Leonard had simply been eating breakfast in silence when Sheldon announced it.
Leonard thought for a moment, trying to come up with Sci-Fi shows they didn’t already watch. It seemed that everything they didn’t already watch live, they recorded and watched during dry spells.
“What about Stargate Universe?” he offered. It wasn’t the best series, but it could be entertaining. Leonard had watched most of Atlantis and had seen bits of pieces of SG-1 when they reran it on SyFy.
“How could you be so naïve as to suggest it? You know that I cannot stand the science of the Stargate franchise. They substitute rambling pseudoscientific explanations for anything remotely resembling science. I would be more satisfied with the series if they simply announced that everything happened because of magical ancient faries, and stargates were simply a portal to the realm of the fey.”
Leonard looked Sheldon up and down, unable to decide between being insulted or simply shrugging it off. It was too early in the day to argue with Sheldon, so Leonard settled for rolling his eyes.
His eyes drifted to the Cylon toaster prominently displayed on their kitchen counter. Back when it was on TV, he’d had Cylon toast for a snack during the episodes.
“Well, then how about Caprica?”
“That might be an acceptable substitute,” Sheldon said as he washed out his cereal bowl before placing it in the dishwasher. “The focus on drama instead of action is a drawback.”
“But it promises to build up the canon. The Adamas, the colonies… the evolution of the Cylons. Come on, Sheldon. Cylons.”
Sheldon froze and Leonard knew he had convinced him.
“Very well,” Sheldon said slowly as he took a clean dishtowel out of the drawer and went to polish his precious Cylon toaster. “Put it on the TiVo list.”
