Say No To May the 4th

Oh hell no, I was born a rebel.

Cool View of Shuttle Discovery Launch

Total awesomeness!

BSG 4.5: Daybreak Part 2

Well done, Ron Moore and Cast, Well Done.

The series is complete, the roller coaster ride has finally come to a complete stop. It was a great run with an almost perfect ending.

So Say We All.

Interesting to note is that my mitochondrial genetic markers place my ancestors leaving East Africa 15,000 to 20,000 years ago. In case you are wondering, my mitochondrial genetic code places me in the H haplotype group.

Am I part Cylon??

I’ve been reviewing the reactions of my favorite BSG fan sites today and gathered an overall opinion that the series finale was satisfying, except for the lazy ending Ron Moore wrote for Starbuck. I quite agree, as she was the most complex and compelling character on the show. The character was given no consideration at the end, she just dissapeared from the story line. Right after the show ended, I had to run to my movie collection to pull out an old title that reminded me of what Starbuck was to the Adama family – a guardian angel. The movie is called Fiorille, which won the Palm D’Or in 1993. For Alias fans, it is an early starring role for Michael Vartan, who plays Jean, the starcrossed and doomed French soldier. The spirit of this soldier haunts the decendants of the family that had him murdered, silently appearing when they are in most need of guidance. Just like Kara, although she is definitely not the silent type.

I am hoping that Starbuck as ‘guardian angel’ is the angle Ron Moore was going after with this finale.

BSG and the UN

It seems the UN is looking for world unity ideas from the re-imagined Sci Fi show Battlestar Galactica.

No, really, I’m not joking.

Via Moonbattery:

Can all the world’s problems be solved by watching Sci Fi Channel? The United Nations apparently thinks that’s a good place to start, and will host a Battlestar Galactica retrospective and panel discussion on Tuesday to shed light on how the Emmy-winning show has handled such issues as human rights and reconciliation, terrorism, faith, children and warfare, and dialogue among civilizations.

Seriously, they should be made to watch the original series where a be-caped Adama handed down the law for the rag tag fleet. There were no quorums, no civilian president, or those damn reporters for that matter. It made for a better show, in my opinion.

BSG: Islanded in a Stream of Stars

Still waiting for the full episode of “Someone to Watch Over Me” to be posted on Sci Fi Rewind. Missed the episode were Kara still is befuddled by her identity and Hera draws star maps based on Bob Dylan songs.

This week’s episode “Islanded In A Stream of Stars”. Yes, that is the correct spelling of the title.

The synopsis….Galactica is a crack away from an irreparable hull breach. Laura Roslin is still dying and Kara still has no idea who she is. Typical day in the life of the rag tag fleet.

Check out Jamie Bamber’s new PETA ad. Yowza! Not sure if this is the same organization as PETA (People Enjoying Tasty Animals).

I’ll be in my bunk….If I had a bunk.

BSG – Deadlock

Episode 418 – Deadlock:

Ellen is faced with a decision that could have repercussions for humans and the future of the entire Cylon race.

Here we go again with the major decision that will split the fleet….again. I know liberal writers tend to be compulsive greeniacs, but for fraks sake, how many trees did they save by recycling BSG plot points?

Will Anders regain his memories or will his program be reset – All this has happened before and will happen again..

Is Daniel Kara’s dad? Or is Daniel really Zak Adama? The final two episodes list the character of Zak Adama in their credits. Hmmmm….

Attention spoiler-phobes, I am a spoiler junkie. I would avoid the comment section if I were you.
