Now here’s another classic concept vehicle from the 1960s which deserves Colonial Recognition:

Looks like something Tomas Vergis would drive!

...have lots of money:

Gee, does it also have video windows too?

Perhaps I should pay a little more attention to Twitter. Serge Graystone reveals the following about the structure of the Twelve Colonies’ home system:

all 12 colonies are on planets within a cluster of 4 stars. Caprica and Gemenon (Caprica’s twin) share an orbit around a central barycenter, Aerilon and Aquaria are two planets that orbit the gas giant planet Ragnar at Ragnar’s lagrange points. Picon is sometimes thought of as “Caprica, Jr.” Slightly colder overall, clean, polite, originally colonized by Virgon. Aquarion features icy, brackish seas and a small research colony on a tiny continent. Libran is largely a wildlife reserve that also serves as home to the intercolonial court system. Canceron has many lovely beach resorts, but is also overcrowded and poor. Scorpia is noted for its lush jungles, suggesting that it has significant tropical zones, and has been mentioned as the location of the Colonial Stock Market.

So, all those previous maps Fans made are out the window!

But I’m kicking myself in the backside for not coming up with this myself. BolianAdmiral is working this into his Battlestar Urantia project:

RDM would indeed be intrigued.

Dallmeyer Pictures put this 2-parter together from a visit to the set during the final shoot two years ago. Here’s Part I:

And here’s Part II:

WOW!

This’ll make you think Battlestar was a violent series. You don’t say….

When I first heard these were going to appear, I thought for a moment “huh?” and went back to the Original Series. Man, was I ever wrong!
Judging from the aerodynamics, these fighters are definitely atmospheric-only are are a curious cross between the Vought F-8 Crusader and the Grumman X-29, and must have employed lots of high-tech avionics due to the forward-swept wing design…which would undoubtedly open itself to Cylon hacking six years or so down the road.
As this is the pre-Cylon War era, Caprica still had a defense force deployed to protect against invasion by other Colonies. Tauron, I’ll bet.

From Kelly “Kat” Meyers by way of BolianAdmiral…here’s a special rendering of a “Talon”-class Raptor ARMED TO THE TEETH!

Needless to say…ME LIKEY!

Today, I finally ripped down the last of the BSG episodes (specifically, 4.5, which I was able to snag from Target last night for only $16.99!). So no more iTunes bulls**t for that series.
I also got my copy of the soundtrack for The Plan and Razor in the mail today from Amazon.com, and those are already ripped down to AAC 256K. More aural chamalla for me!
Yes, I am a Happy Camper.

See Bob Beckel, debating his brother Graham recently on Hannity:

Now check this out…I was very surprised about this other role Graham didn’t mention:

Why…that’s Jack Fisk!

Let’s hope this code from Skiffy works….

One of the most AMAZING songs I’ve ever heard on the wireless was featured on the most recent episode of Caprica, where Philemon and the U-87 dance with the tune in the background.
It’s titled “Was Love” by the group Captain Ahab. Due to Bear’s mentioning, they received thousands of positive messages from Fans around North America, so they made it available as a Free Download. Go Ye and Get The Song by clicking on the link. The Macker Commands It!

I’m beginning to watch Caprica like a hawk…wait, I’m already doing that!...I’m referring to the old cars which show up.
For example, this Ford Galaxie Sam’s driving while scouting out the Graystones. I wonder if they got someone from the local chapter of the Galaxie Club of Canada to ‘donate’ their car for the on-screen performance. In any case, it’s yet another reason why it’s so retro.

So, the STO is after Zoe-A to bring the existence of The One True God into the open. The word used by the operatives (including Sister Clarice) is Apotheosis. Only issue is: He is already God…as opposed to the Colonial pantheon, so they’re apparently scheming to show the Colonies that they are FALSE gods.
We also see that Joseph is more unscrupulous than we thought he was; he sends his brother on a task to “balance the scales”, something very dark and sinister indeed. He did this for revenge against the disappearance of Tamara-A. Oh, and he’ll be losing some cubits to one judge the Ha’la’tha bought off. Unscrupulous enough for ya?
It’s nice to know burritos are also an ancient dish. I wonder which Colony claims credit?
Next episode in two weeks.

We get another hint of the Tauron language here, and it’s a big one. Never mind what Sam is about to do:

Looks Greek to you? It is. That’s ποιοτητα εκτύπωσης σε λογικές τιμές, which means “quality printing at reasonable prices”. Too bad they didn’t pay their protection cubits to the Ha’la’tha.
