The Chief comes in second as my favorite character in Battlestar Galactica, and it was actually a pretty close race. A good portion of my love for Galen Tyrol comes from my adoration of his actor, Aaron Douglas, who has such a natural approach to acting, but honestly, the character is just so wonderful and

Okay, so I know I said that Sharon was a runner up to my favorite character, Kara “Starbuck” Thrace, but I really feel like she deserves her own post. She is such a strong character, starting from her Big Reveal, and without her, the series would not be the same. I mean, obviously, but still.

In the light of recent TV show finales that were awful (sorry, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, I love you and the actors did a great job, but …), I decided to pull out my DVD collection of Battlestar Galactica and rewatch the finale to see if any of my opinions changed since the last time I did

Admiral Cain* was a great character. She was everything Starbuck wanted to be: tough, respected, had her shit together, got what she wanted, stuck with her convictions, and didn’t sleep with Baltar. She wasn’t without her flaws, obviously, seeing as she had Roslin and Adama planning on her assassination, but it’s not like she was

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.
