Under the cut are my thoughts and speculations related to the “Extended Ron Moore” cut of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: UNFINISHED BUSINESS (“UBEX” in fandom shorthand), the Ron Moore/Michael O'Halloran commentary track on UBEX, and the rest of the deleted scene materials included on the S3 DVDs.  Here there be spoilers, of course.


Thanks again, RDM & company. This DVD set is truefandom treasure.

This is definitely a FOR SHIPPERS ONLY post, so I will put it down under.



The rest of you lovelies - move along, nothin' to see here. *g*

Good (Great) news: squeeing over new Battlestar Galactica promo photos...
Awesome.  Can we discuss BALTAR'S FRAKKING ROBE?!? lol


Bad news (though not a surprise to you on my flist): here's what I got when I tried to retreive my lost password on the skiffy forum today -

We're sorry but we don't have a username on file for you.

What the frak do I do now???? This is especially odd since I've been logged in on both home and office for the last several weeks, even after the changeover, and it never gave me trouble. Can someone who IS LOGGED IN tell me if my membership even still exists? Can you check?

Oh what is a fangirl to do...Hulu just let me come inside their beta site...in the midst of the frakking writers strike...ie, I doubt anyone's getting residuals on this stuff...Yet if we fans flock to sites like Hulu, there'll be no way to DENY the profitability of online distribution...thereby strengthening the writers arguement...

*head explodes*


I give up. Below are two Hulu embeds for ya:

1. the Joss Whedon-directed episode of THE OFFICE from a few weeks ago, BRANCH WARS.

2. a BATTLESTAR ep from last season, one of my favorites: THE SON ALSO RISES. It introduces Master-of-The-Universe defense lawyer Romo Lamkin, and is saturated with a profound grief - as the characters mourn Starbuck's death - while the BSG cast and crew mourns what they assumed was Katee Sackhoff's termination. The Six interrogation scene still ranks as one of my all-time favorite BSG scenes. Key things to know: Lee Adama (forced to guard Romo) was in love with Starbuck. So was the guy who is drunk and standing on the viper. The ship's commander thought of her as a daughter. The blond chick in the prison cell is a cylon (robot). And Gauis Baltar, the dude who looks like Jesus? Well...1) He's in big trouble with the law, 2) the robot is in love with him.

What's a fangirl to do...when Content is queen?

...can be found here.  Gods he's good.   But hey, we already new that, eh. Now if they could just get Mr. Callis to also type up his thoughts, I'd be in nirvana.

So SciFi Channel had a BSG pressday on set in Vancouver yesterday for over 30 online journos and bloggers.

News is trickling out today...and TV Squad has video of a cast Q&A session posted here and here.

ETA: OK apparently there aren't too many spoilers in the vids - but Aaron Douglas lets out a couple, especially in part 2, so watch out.

OK here's other things to ponder:





This is a gorgeous post about fandom and its ellusive powers. Just wanted to share.

- OK I am in:



"There's another show in a hour - and he'll be WET." 

UM - YEAH.  I'll watch that. 

Do we get any more Misses Rhimes, Beers and Noxon?
*wipes Daly/Diggs/Howell drool off face*

- The Who Knew? Department: Rosario Dawson is co-writing and "starring in" her own comic book.  What a great way to find good parts for smart lady actresses?

- Complete Madness now on DVD: Very cool news, a wild Jodorowsky triple header coming on DVD this month.  Includes an old fave of mine, the trippy and unique HOLY MOUNTAIN - it's WIIIIILLLLLLLLLDDDD BABEE. Check it.

- OK I'll try watching this one time: this Fox show actually sounds very cool (starts 5/22):
All over the world, aspiring filmmakers from 13-year-old YouTube amateurs and skateboarders with hand-held cameras to a 54-year-old black grandmother in Florida are vying for a slot as one of 16 filmmakers to be cast in Steven Spielberg and Mark Burnett's "On the Lot," a reality series that Fox will launch in May toward the end of the "American Idol" season.

- Miscellaneous Cinematic Neato: the Nerve Blog ScreenGrab has a great list of best film remakes ever (with clips)...The Thing 1982. The Fly 1986. Body Snatchers 1978.  Departed 2006.  Etc.

- Completely unable to deal with the BSG Hiatus From Hell, part #352:  So bored that I am crushing on miscellaneous TV mancandy, reorganizing my CD collection, and digging through old vids on YouTube.  This (jokey? how jokey?) TV Guide inty with Sackhoff now feels more significant somehow.  And scary.

Time to go back and listen more carefully to Sackhoff's November 2006 Indy con visit (part 1, part 2, part 3; other version part 1, part 2).  And there is always time for another Bamber Con vid (this one's from Shore Leave in 2006).  He's thoughtful and articulate.  Even more interesting is when Bamber shows up with Mary McConnell (who enjoys making Bamber blush). 

Come on, SciFi - be nice and post up those James Callis interviews you've got hiding in your editing room!

Le Sigh.  *goes to Netflix to rent entire season of La Femme Nikita*

There have recently been dug up by my shipper pals, two reports of Jamie Bamber at the 2007 I-Con at Stony Brook. What follows are bits and pieces that make me...very very happy *squee*

Also some of it makes me all thoughtful and speculative. Hmm.

And...JB has written a spec treatment for a S4 ep that he's pitching to RDM? Holy frak.
