Look, I know that Paul Campbell was wanting to get out of Battlestar Galactica to pursue other projects, and sure, he definitely had this right. But oh, Billy. Billy Billy Billy. You shouldn’t have died, my dude. Part of me wishes he’d survived just so Dee could realize that her relationship with Lee was the…

I may have called Bear McCreary a god among composers, and dammit, I stand by it. His work on BSG is nothing short of incredible, and if I could, I would just stream every single video on YouTube, even if there were repeats. But I’m not going to do that; instead, I’m going to post…

I love me some space battles. Star Wars, Star Trek, Gundam Wing … they just get my blood pumping, what can I say? A lot of the blame sits on my dad’s shoulders, since he was the one who introduced me to Top Gun and was just as thrilled to watch the dogfighting scenes as…

In Season Two’s “Flight of the Phoenix,” Chief Tyrol throws himself into the construction of a new fighter, a project that nearly everyone thinks is a waste of time. He works on it alone for the first part of the episode, ignoring all the naysayers and generally just trying to distract himself from all he’s…

This entry, according to my post advertising my July blog challenge, was supposed to be best promo picture, but after hours of scanning through promotional art, I couldn’t really find one that really spoke to me, except maybe the Last Supper. You know the one: It may or may not be my current desktop background…

Surprise, surprise, my favorite quote comes from my favorite character! “Pilots call me Starbuck. You may refer to me as god.” I love her so much.

Okay, so it’s Monday again (how?), and I’m exhausted (because of course); guess what that means!! Today is going to be a super short entry. It’s pretty helpful, though, that the answer to this challenge day is incredibly easy: Anastasia Dualla and Lee Adama. She looks like she’s questioning every decision she’s ever made, and…

I’m going to admit something I really don’t like admitting because … well, it makes me feel all squishy inside: I really love seeing new romance bloom. Like, I hate those Hallmark movies that get released around Christmas because they are so stupidly unrealistic, but a well-told romance story with instant attraction and longing glances…

Well, I am just loving all the hard topics I’m covering this week. Jesus. Why did I do this to myself? Trigger warning again, you guys, for talk of rape and sexual assault. From the second the Pegasus crew is introduced, the writers of BSG wanted us to dislike them. The CAG was a complete…

I’m going to preface this with a trigger warning for talking about suicide, so please feel free to skip past this one. I actually argued with myself while picking the most upsetting death because this definitely fits the bill there, but I actually think this moment is more appropriate for this post because damn, I…
