If you got any of those references, you'll probably enjoy my blog. If you got most of those references? You'll totally love my blog. Its also fairly safe for work with the occasional exception.

Please feel free and heavily encouraged to re-blog anything I've posted. Re-blogging is like a round of applause IMHO, really makes me happy to see my stuff re-blogged; even if I myself re-blogged it from someone else. Likes are good too, but they're like a thumbs up. Applause trumps a thumbs up, you know?

Favorite Things as Evidenced by the Introduction are (In No Particular Order): Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica (modern), Firefly, Batman, Superman, DC Comics, Ghostbusters, Terminator, Cats, My Autographs, old school Star Wars (the prequels suck!), Pretty Genre Gals, Funny Stuff ... and my gods I Sound like a Loser with that List! Oh Well.

Also, I Don't Post a Lot. I'm Much More of a Quality over Quantity type. Usually less than Ten Posts a Day. So you may have to Really Look through your Dash to Notice what I post.

Oh, also a note for my fellow Trekkies: I'm the guy responsible for TrekCore.com's Rare Photo and Ultimately Human specials, and basically flooding the internet via TrekCore with a few thousand awesome and rare Star Trek photos for the past 5 years. So... yeah. Oh and, go through my Archive, it is frakking awesome and shiny!

So I was watching the current CGI animated “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” last night with my nephew.  And the episode had the turtles fighting Shredder for the first time and barely getting away when he gets distracted.  And the last line of the episode was Splinter saying, “As of this moment, we are at war.”

So yeah, it was already obvious from the references to the original “Star Trek” and it’s films that someone at the show was a Trekkie, but now it seems they’re an all-around sci-fi nerd just throwing shout-outs to the nerds.  Hehe.

Sometimes, you have to condense an awesome quote to make it feasible to even ask an actor to inscribe such.  As is the case with the awesome quote from Saul Tigh in the third season finale of “Battlestar Galactica” where he states… “My name is Saul Tigh. I’m an officer in the Colonial Fleet. Whatever else I am, whatever else it means, that’s the man I want to be. And if I die today, that’s the man I’ll be.” Asking Michael Hogan to inscribe all of that on an 8x10 would not have been realistic, nor likely possible.  You’ve usually only got the type of sharpie markers without the fine points (fine points risk leaving scratch marks or indentations) and you can’t usually get too small a size of text anywho when writing with markers.  Likewise, it would take a bit too long and be a bit complicated during a cattle-call line scenario. So I widdled it down as seen above, to… “My name is Saul Tigh.  Whatever else I am, that’s the man I want to be.” It conveys the same sentiment, harkens to the original quote, but reduces it from 36 words to 16 — less than half.
» BSG Soundtracks Sale

So I have them all myself, but saw that La La Land Records (who made them all) is having a sale on every BSG soundtrack.  So, yeah, thought I’d share.

Michael Hogan autograph, inscribed in old school Tigh quote fashion simply “Godsdamn Frakking Cylons!” Saul Tigh is one of the few characters I went from totally detesting and wishing he would get killed off to totally loving and rooting for.  That is a testament to the writing and especially to Hogan’s acting.

How do you start watching ‘Battlestar Galatica’

2003 Mini-Series (2 parts, 90 minutes each, 3 hours total) - then season 1, episode 1 “33” then continue on in that order.  Season 2, season 3, season 4.  The tele-film “Razor” takes place story-wise in mid-season 2, but aired/was made between seasons 3 and 4.  The epilogue tele-film “The Plan” is after the series finale.

People: Please CONTINUE Liveblogging BSG! :)

When I first saw this post earlier (“PEOPLE. PLEASE STOP LIVEBLOGGING BSG!!!”) I was disheartened by it. 

To see someone discouraging people from sharing their thoughts and feelings about “Battlestar Galactica” for any reason really struck me as… well, wrong.  That said reason came down to a lament over having to scroll-wheel or press the J key a few more times… that just made it seem even more wrong.

Now though, that it’s at least six hours later and said post has only six notes, of which only one is a reply offering additional complaints… I feel a bit better.

Because that means that of the dozens or hundreds of BSG fans who do scroll the BSG tags on Tumblr, only a mere handful are actually upset at the plethora of new fans who are sharing their thoughts and feelings as they are experiencing the wonderful journey of “Battlestar Galactica” for the first time.

Which means that out of the dozens or hundreds of BSG fans, the vast majority of us actually - even if by virtue of not having liked said post lamenting such - enjoy seeing/reading/hearing our fellow fans thoughts and feelings as they take the journey for the first time into one of the richest, deepest, emotionally complex and wonderful television series we’ve ever known.

Don’t get me wrong.  I know what it’s like to be annoyed as hell by something appearing repeatedly in a tracked tag that doesn’t belong.  I do.  There is some actor/singer person from the Philippines who, for reasons beyond anyone outside of that nation, used to pop-up constantly in the Batman tracked tag.  It was really annoying. 

But it was annoying because the kid had NOTHINGto do with Batman, and so his appearance in the tag was totally out of place and out of context.

Here?  In this instance?

People sharing their thoughts and feelings as they watch BSG for the first time?

…That sort of stuff belongs in a shows tag.


Cause inscribed quotes from the shows on autographs are cooler than just autographs, IMHO… …My kingdom for a Leonard Nimoy “live long and prosper”… sigh… ((Check Out My Other Autographs))
Adama & Starbuck buddy shot, signed by Edward James Olmos.  Still needs to be signed by Katee Sackhoff, someday!
Had this for quite a while, thought I had shared it previously, but went archdiving (diving through my own archive) and discovered I had not.  So… I am.  Cause… of reasons.  :) ((Check Out My Other Autographs))
“What Do You Hear, Starbuck?” ((Check Out My Other Autographs))
I enjoy having the actors of “Battlestar Galactica” tell me to ‘go frak myself’.  I’ve had Edward James Olmos, Luciano Carro (Kat), Tricia Helfer, Sam Witwer (Crashdown), and now Katee Sackhoff do so.  ((Check out my Other Autographs))
