Unofficial Battlestar Galactica Blog

So long, farewell, good bye

It is with a mixture of sadness and relief that I write this blog post. The Unofficial Battlestar Galactica Blog is officially closing up shop and entering retirement. The site will not go away anytime soon--there is far too much valuable content--but I will no longer be updating. This is the last post.

Due to my family, other web ventures, continued success at work, and other personal endeavours, I just don't have the time I once I had for scouring the BSG universe and running a site at the level of quality that I expect from myself. There are plenty of BSG sites out there now, some really great ones.

If you run a BSG blog, feel free to post the link in the comments so my readers can find it!

It has really been fun being a part of the Battlestar Glactica community. I have emailed and talked to some great people and have seen great outpourings of support and thanks. My best to you all!

Cheers,
Trapper Markelz

P.S. I can always be reached through my personal website and at trapper@tjmweb.com.

Check out the adventures of Mr. Brown as he went behind the scenes of BSG at Universal Studios!

We were at Universal Studios for a meeting and got a chance to visit the bits of the studios that tourists cannot go to. And yes, we got to meet the guys who do post-production on BSG. When we were there, they were working on Season THREE!!!

BSG news bullets

Here are some Battlestar Galactica new bits... Some are fresh... some not so fresh.

• Aragorn emailed in that the the Official Battlestar Galactica Magazine revealed that Stephen King is a huge fan of the show: “This is a beautifully written show, driven by characters rather than effects… but the effects are damn good,” King wrote of Battlestar Galactica. “And there’s not a better acting troupe at work on television.” While King claimed that Battlestar Galactica was “not quite as good as Lost,” he noted that it was “far better than Star Trek, in any of it’s incarnations”. He also revealed that he watched the show via computer download, and quipped that its source was “the Cylon Empire!” Oh and Aragorn if you read this, I tried to email you back and it bounced... no likey the gmail.
• Mark emailed about the SpikeTV awards. Check out the categories: Best TV Show, Best Heroic Performace - William Adama, Breakout Performance - Katie Sackhoff and Tricia Helfer. Go vote!
• BSG Sitrep has an interesting trailer for a defunct BSG revival project. I guess at some point Brian Singer was attached?
• One of the first Season Three promo pics is making the rounds... mmm pretty.

Fun Fun!
