Concerning Kara Thrace and the men in her life - no spoilers past 'Colonial Day.'( Read more... )

Update - via kerlin, there was a discussion of the same topic a few weeks back in another lj. No spoilers after "Colonial Day", but watch the comments, as more could have been added. (Downloaders. I swear. *shakes head*)

Update to update - comments [in the discussion linked above] do have spoilers for the whole season thus far. (not huge, more character building than plot, if that makes a diff. Frack.) (edited for clarification

Thoughts on call sings in BSG

[widget285.livejournal.com]

So, the latest topic of my musings is that of the call signs used by the pilots because I'm trying really hard not to write a fic about about Lee got his call sign.

So...

The practice of using call signs to designate pilots did not originate with this universe, but is a carry over from standard military practice in out own. The insistence upon this usage is two-fold: it neatly establishes a parallel with our world, something done consistently throughout the series; it provides a credible explanation for the continued use of the – in this context pretty dorky - names given to the characters.

In regard to call signs, there are two interrelated issues: 1) the meaning of the name; 2) the mechanism for its attribution (when/where/how/why a pilot got his/her call sign).

At the bottom of this post is a list of all known (at least to me) call signs. I’d appreciate knowing if any are any missing from the list.

Mini-Series Trivia: When Laura Roslin learns she has cancer, you see numerous ships flying overhead - one of which is Serenity from the show Firefly. More trivia here.

I wonder if they're going to come out with any BSG merchandise other than DVDs etc? People would be interested in those octagon shaped dog tags, and Kara's thumb ring I would think. Does anyone know of a site selling the new BSG merchandise other than books and DVDS? I looked, and all the stuff I found was for the old series.

Colonial Day ramblings

I'm watching Colonial Day for the, what?, 5th time in 24 hours. I don't even know how many times I watched Hand of God.

Wow. That was WAY longer than I thought it would be. I'll shut up now.
