This week’s Battlestar Galactica “reviewed”

Jeez, how dull was this week’s BSG? I didn’t even *watch* it, it was so boring. I just read the Wikipedia episode summary and I could barely even get through that. Chief Tyrol starts worrying that he’s unknowingly sabotaging stuff? Nobody saw *that* coming. Oh, but at least we see Tigh’s banal inner struggle. Roslin [...]

Have you ever…

Does anybody else tend to get Ben from Lost mixed up with Cylon model Number 5 from BSG? Cause those guys have a lot in common.

Stupidfreude: Highway to the Cylon Zone

It’s been a while since I’ve done a Stupidfreude, but some things impel recreational scorn. Like a fan video I came across just now.
It’s Battlestar Galactica meets Kenny Loggins’ “Highway to the Danger Zone,” from Top Gun.
This video makes me question my taste, nay, my very ethical system. I basically hate every single thing about [...]

People are Idiots. But Which People?

This is why it’s OK to want to axe-murder those relativist types who attack the Western canon and campaign for us all to study Alice Walker instead of, I dunno, Erasmus or something.
The whole reason people studied the humanities in the first place was out of duty. They inherited this from generations of staid, [...]

Fan Pumpkins

I love saying “kickin’ it old [...]

In the Dumps: More Comic-con Events You Can Probably Skip

I had fun making fun of Comic-con 2007’s Thursday sked, but looking through the Friday and Saturday listings was a bummer. The cheesy stuff on those days just isn’t as funny. So here’s a slightly pissy take on some of Comic-Con 2007’s less-than-inspiring weekend offerings, including Seth MacFarlane, Kevin Smith, Scott McCloud, sci-fi beef- and [...]

Buck Rogers Space Gun Solution

Nice work, Omega Man X: the guns in the Buck Rogers post were indeed from 1) Battlestar, 2) Dr. Who, 3) Blake’s 7 and 4) Buck Rogers. Most worthy of scrutiny is the Blake’s 7 gun, which a fan hand-made with what was clearly way too much effort. “The clear ribbed section was a nightmare,” [...]
