Space Mashup

Something that will probably make you go.... "huh!?"

Introducing, Cylon: The Ride

My friends take on how things went down...

An old chum of mine from Calgary, Wes, wrote this beautiful little diatribe to me in an email. I wanted to share it with you all, I hope you enjoy:

"I also hope you didn't finish watching Battlestar Gacraptica. They should have stayed on strike. The last few episodes were nonsensical drivel that didn't explain anything. About what I would expect from the cast of a grade B spainish soap opera written by kids that ride the short bus."

Final So Say We All

So it turns out that all of the video monologues are too large to post. So I'll post photos instead.

Billy!

So we were at the LCD Soundsystem concert the other night when who should we see standing right next to us??? BILLY!!! I quickly texted Gorrman to find out Billy's real name, and he sent it to me (Paul Campbell), but we were too shy to approach him. Come on, he assisted the president for crying out loud, what could we even say to him? Then we debated whether or not it would be too intense to say "I loved your performance in Battlestar" (I thought that was fine, Robbie thought that was intense and creepy). So we missed our one and only chance.

It's a trap!

If only these weren't sold out!!

It all becomes clear...

We've seen how the human model Cylons are stored until they are resurrected, but here is how normal Toasters are kept: an inside look!

ISHAY, ZIP IT!

Apparently the woman who plays Ishay is married to the guy who plays Lee. FYI.

Meeting Minutes

It's adrenaline, mister!

What was done...

Hello all,

This was a low key week in the CIC. We watched 2 episodes, No Exit and Deadlock.

I wish Hambo a speedy recovery and hope that all is well for everyone in the fleet.

So Say We All

Kobol awaits

Hello friends. I want to share the events of a spectacular session of the Battlestar Galactica Boardgame.

Robbie, Gorrman and I started the game, and Adina joined in halfway through, once we'd reached the sleeper-agent phase of the game.

We were, Zarek, Starbuck, Halo and Boomer respectively.

The game started with all hell breaking loose. First one basestar, then two, then galactica got shot up by the basestars. Helo was dicking around on Caprica, not helping, leaving Zarek and Starbuck alone to deal with the crisis. Once Helo joined the fight, shit got even worse! More civilian ships were in danger of being blown away and vipers were spread thin defending the fleet.

As we got closer to jumping away and leaving the cylons behind, destiny was against us, and our jump-prep clock got set back!

Starbuck jumped into a viper and got into the battle, where she single handedly took on 7 or 8 raiders, dodging their attacks, and then unleashing a hail of fire.

There had been no suspicious behaviour, so Robbie, Gorrman and I all figured each other to be humans.

More heavy raiders launched, and the skies were filled with raiders. Every civilian ship in the fleet was under threat of destruction.

Fortunately, Helo got to FTL and jumped the fleet away, with no casualties.

Wiping sweat from our brows, we then had a nice casual turn. With the exception of a centurion aboard the ship, we were able to repair damaged vipers and jump again without much trouble from the cylons.

We reached the sleeper agent phase. Adina joined the game (as boomer) and we all received a card telling us whether or not we were cylons. There was going to be at minimum one cylon operative, and at max two.

Boomer immediately began accusing everyone of being a cylon! (Ironic?) With a sabotaged cylon detector, we knew there was at least one cylon amongst us. After starbuck dispatched the centurion, we advanced towards our jump without much ado. The cylon(s) were laying low.

As we continued, the accusations intensified, and the group began to finger Helo as the cylon. Galactica then made another jump, putting it one jump away from victory. With few crises, the cylon(s) were running out of opportunities to really put the gears to the humans. Right then, a basestar and huge compliment of raiders jumped in! Or would have jumped in, had it not been for Starbuck's 'Secret Destiny' ability which avoided the cylon deployment altogether!

With jump-prep almost complete, Helo revealed himself as a cylon and threw starbuck in the brig (somehow), awaking to a gentle gel-bath aboard the resurrection ship. While Starbuck cooled her heels in the brig, Zarek revealed himself as a cylon too! We were shocked, Zarek had played it totally cool and had drawn no suspicion to himself. Turns out boomer's baseless accusations were somehow true all along! Zarek sabotaged CIC and the FTL control, sending boomer to sickbay. Fortunately for the humans, boomer was able to quickly get out and repair some of the damage Zarek had caused. Starbuck bailed herself out of the brig, and before the cylons could sew any more chaos, the fleet jumped away to Kobol, home of the gods, and won the game.

So Say We All

*REVISED* Nerds who've touched the other gender's junk, unite!

Wednesday is out (Doc. Cottle can't make it and it's a hockey night.)

Thursday is in! Who can do Thursday?

>>>

Thank you again for a lovely So Say We All Sunday.

Every second we're not together, watching or playing Battlestar, is a sad moment for me. So, as promised I'll try to organize a mid-week game night. Would someone like to host? Graveley house could work, but I think the game plays best if we have a large kitchen style table to all sit around, which I do not have.

How does (Trent picks a day out of a hat) Wednesday night work for everybody? (Tuesday night is the only night this week that I've got things goin' on.) I think we should start as early as possible to give us the most time, 6, 6:30? Maybe send out for food?

I promise I will play this game with you all. This is a promise, I intend to keep! And if you can't play this game because you don't have the frakin' guts, then you should just walk out of this cabin, while you still can.

So Say We All

Get Sweded

To see the glory of a classic art film, Predator, once it's been "sweded":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kie8t5nolWg

Gorrman brought up the brilliant idea that we should 'swede' battlestar! I love it.

So I thought I'd start a post to get people thinking about it. Maybe we could even start a collaborative document, like a google wave (I think that's what those things are for) where we could start brainstorming and figuring out how we might do it. I think we have to do it. It would be so much fun and it's our duty. Let's do it, while we still can.

Some ideas already:

Tell the enitre plot of the series in 10 minutes or less.

Use the Battlestar Galactica Boardgame pieces to do sweet animation of the space battles.

We'll have to sing all the songs from the show (Cristina, lookin' at you here! Oh and I'm working on my beatbox gamelan.)

So Say We All

I'm putting this family back together...again

So Say We All Sunday

April 18th

I would like to start a little earlier, how does 6:30 or maybe 6:00 sound? Roommates have work the following morning so we'll need to wrap up by 11. Can everyone do 6:00?

Where: Graveley House (ask around or email me if you need to know where this is)

Delicious teas provided!

Could one of our season 4.5 owners please bring DVDs.

I look forward to putting this family back together again with you all, while we still can.

So Say We All

PS Many thanks for the birthday side-bar photo! I'm so happy every time I look at it, which is often. Too often.

ACTION STATIONS!

This is awesome. http://jalopnik.com/5510077/battlestar-galacti+car-the-street-legal-viper

REVISED! Various Battlestar Businasss!

Fleetwide transmission...

Hello friends. For those of you unable to join Hambly and I (for reasons of being out of the country or having a new television to masturbate to) we just finished a beautiful mini-marathon of late 80s early 90s action classics: Red Heat, starring the Schwarz and Demolition Man, starring the Italian Stallion. It was a beautiful screening of two classic films. You were all missed.

And at Dim Sum prior to this whole goings on, we discussed some upcoming proposals. One being:

Motherfraking Monday! Next Monday we've discussed watching Razor, possibly on Elliot's brand new dradis console...I mean TV.

***I realize I kind of shit the bed on this. I'm not on the mainland, so I won't be there this weekend, so you all can do whatever you frakin' like. I will (theoretically) be back in Vancouver on Sunday the 11th. I apologize for the confusion.***

Furthermore, I'll be playing host to So Say We All Sunday the 18th, at the Graveley House, for "I'm putting this family back together...again". (As promised I won't be providing snacks)

So Say We All

Time is running out for Baltar

Better act fast, lads! The Baltar T-shirt market is quickly becoming saturated:

We gotta get on this

Others have done it, it's time we hit that shit!

http://pandasnacks.blogspot.com/2008/04/awe-soome.html

So, here's a first draft monochrome of WWGD?

If Vancouver is the orbiting fleet, then Colombia is the surface of New Caprica

Robbie(Ellen Tigh) has convinced Adina(Saul Tigh) to visit(settle) in Colombia(New Caprica), while the rest of us(The Fleet) stay in Vancouver(Galactica and Pegusus) to drink beer and watch movies on Sunday(protect against Cylon invasion).

We all know how this is going to end. Adina is going to lose an eye. And turn out to be a Cylon. Oh, and poison Robbie with tea.

So Say We All.

Sunday Sans Robbie

Hey guys,

so what's the deal tomorrow? Anyone want to get together and watch something or are we all too busy?

totally unrelated

But I thought you guys would probably want to see it anyway.

Where It All Began

Found this touching picture, from the original Battlestar Galactica (circa 1978), of our heroes Helo and Boomer. Be prepared to do some push-ups: http://www.flickr.com/photos/robotkid3000/2485791939/in/photostream/

First Cylon War

Dear friends, all this has happened before, and all this will happen again. That is, until the finite supply of these limited edition archival prints is SOLD OUT!!! Act now, and enjoy the distinction of owning a piece of Colonial history, for the brief period of existence our species has left! Don't go on without buying this immaculate, momentous and powerful work of art.

Cubits, Algae Rations, Moonshine and Caprican Express Cards accepted. Sorry, we do not accept Sagitarron beads or herbs.

A Heartwarming Tale

Dear Friends,

Today I have been single for exactly one year, and as I was reflecting on this I started to think about the creation of So Say We All Sunday. It started out between Robbie and I as a means to get me out of my lonely apartment as much as possible, and to keep me distracted from obvious heartache. I would like to think that it has grown into something much more since then, both in attendance, and in its meaning to all of us.

And though I have said it before to some of you, So Say We All Sunday has been the highlight of my weeks, and has been integral to keeping me together this last year. So I want to thank you all for being a part of it.

So my way of thanking you all is by posting a link to a badass trailer to the new PREDATORS movie. SO SAY WE ALL.

ps. does anyone have Norwalk yet?

Tighliner Fishsticks!

DeviantArt gold!

I found a bunch of crazy Battlestar fan art on a website for miscreants called deviantart. I really like some of it, I also grabbed a bunch that I thought were terrible. Here we go: (note, my comments/captions are below the image they are about).

I like this one, I like the innocence and sweetness.

I enjoy the comic book style here.

Highly stylized set of the Galactica women here. I think I like it...not sure why.

Ahhhhahahah. I think this one sucks ass! Who's the chick on the far left supposed to be? Boomer? And the woman under Adama, is that Roslyn? More like her grandmother! And check out the bulge in Baltar's sweat pants. AHAHAHAHA.

Nerd alert! I'm about to nerd out hard! (Consider yourselves warned). My sense of the size of the Enterprise and the Galactica respectively tells me that this image is way out of proportion! Maybe the Enterprise is supposed to be closer to our point of view, but then the phaser beam is totally rendered wrong.

Uh, this sucks ass!

This one was titled Leoben. You got me what the connection is. Maybe it's a coincidence. Still, I am compelled by the image.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Shucks.

Bahahahahahahha. The pose! Bahahahahaha.

I really like this Star Wars style poster, nicely put together.

I wish I had come up with this. Brilliant!

Check it out!

Someone who's actually geekier than us! He made this monies.

Sabotage

Everyone should watch this, but maybe only after catching up to where me and Jon are, as there are a few tiny tiny spoilers in it.

March 14th: lets bring this family back together.

Ladies and Gentlemen it's our last evening for one full month, we'll be finishing season 4.0, and I expect to see every last one of you here. Robbie and I propose that we host, does this work for everyone? How about everyone brings a small contribution to the snack factor and we'll all be happy and well fed.

So say we all?
