Mr. Brown visits BSG post-production

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!!!

Beware of what some people might consider ever-so-minor spoilers. Nothing to freak about.

Revised opening credits

Check out this modification of the Battlestar Galactica opening credits by Deuteronomy69. If you haven't seen all of season 2, there are spoilers... My friend Kevin sent this one in:

Galactica S3 Intro *Revised*

I like the introduction of Baltar's line at that moment.

BSG Homeworld 2 mod

Are you a strategy gamer specializing in interstellar tactics deploying capital ships and fighters in an effort to turn your enemies into space debris? If you are than you have probably played Homeworld 2 and are eagerly looking forward to the Battlestar Galactica mod!

I am not a big real-time strategy gamer, let alone in the three dimensions of space... but as a gamer I can seriously appreciate the effort that went into this.

Free the BSG Mini-series

Dave Rogers sent an email to the SciFi Channel via their feedback form. He asked the following:

I rather hope someone actually reads these things.

Saw Ron Moore's interview in the Seattle Times and his answer to the question about whether or not BSG could appeal to a "mainstream audience" rang true to me.

I'm a fan, and I've managed to convince a few of my friends, who otherwise would not watch a science fiction program, let alone a remake of Battlestar Galactica, to watch the show and they've become fans.

You need to lower the barrier to entry represented by the series' name "Battlestar Galactica." The way to do that is not to change the name, but to make it easier for people to give it a chance, to take a risk that their time and attention won't be wasted.

As I'm sure you're (whoever "you" are) aware, this is not a series you can really just start watching at the beginning of the new season. It really demands that you begin at the beginning, and that means the mini-series.

Why not make the mini-series a free download at the iTunes Music Store?

So what do you think of Dave's idea? He wanted this to go viral, so I am posting it to help out the cause. Why not make the mini-series free online at this point?

I question it though... Is making it available for free on iTunes really count as mass market? Doesn't a well placed DVD in a Blockbuster reach more people? The people who will sit and watch a science fiction mini-series on their computer monitor aren't really the same people who download Jack Johnson singles onto their iPod... i mean sure there might be some over lap there but I am betting not much.

BSG art collection

J.J. Tores saw my post about the BSG sketches and wrote in to provide a few more links to some great Battlestar Galactica fan art. Check out the works of

• Mark Harrison
• Tommy Lee Edwards
• and of course Grant Gould (who we link to all the time)

There is some non-BSG art mixed in there, but I am sure you can find what I am talking about.

Thanks for the links Tores!

Do you have a need for needle speed? Are you craft with the BSG costumes? Go check out the Battlestar Galactica costume community that just opened up:

Welcome to Battlestar Galactica Costuming :) Hopefully we can all have a good time talking about two of our obsessions in here with little to no drama. Only rules I have are respect your fellow posters, be kind and have fun! At this time I don't mind buying and selling, but if it becomes a problem I have no qualms about banning it.

Oh yeah, no spoilers.  Anything that's not yet aired is a spoiler.  Including plot points, pictures, and dialogue. 

So lets get to posting :D

Galactica Battlebuddies, Series 2

Grant Gould is back with a second set of Battlebuddies!

I have a million things I should be/need to be working on, but these are just so damn fun to draw -- I had to take a few hours to crank out Series 2 :)

Read more and see the art!

I love the Tigh character with the bottle... out of all of em, I think I would have to get Tigh and Baltar and have them posed kicking each other's asses. I like how Tyrol comes with a "dream diary" HA!
