Hello Colonials!

A lot to go over this September 1st...to start off with I'll begin with our Heroes...and the first Hero goes to a Canadian actress who along with guest spots on Stargate SG-1, Dark Angel, The 4400 appeared as the character know simply as Jeanne on the re-Imagined BSG. The actress? We honor Keegan Connor Tracy!

Our second Hero of the…

This Canadian born actress is probably most well known to Battlestar Galactica fans as Lt. Margaret "Racetrack" Edmonson on the show.

However, Leah has a lot of credits beyond BSG, most notably playing opposite Al Pacino in 88 minutes along with roles on Kyle XY, Sanctuary & Supernatural.

Leah has been active and vocal in her support in The Battle for Seattle and Savannah and if you go to…

Hello fellow Colonials!

Once again the Hero's are here...the Hero's of Battlestar Galactica!

First of all this actor starred on television's Cagney and Lacey as well as Alias.

He was featured in the appropriately named (for tonight's honor in particular) BSG episode "Hero"as Daniel Novacek.

Congratulations to Carl Lumbly!

I just wanted to quickly wish my very own Chief Mechanic on the Raven, Senior Chief Petty Officer  Ronnie "Cueball" Beaton, A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  I hope you have a great one.  And I know I share the same sentiments as all your fellow…

All will remember her portrayal of Ellen Tigh on the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica...not only as the mysteriously "found" wife of Colonel Saul Tigh but to also be revealed as number Five of the Final Five.

Kate took the part and gave Ellen her own unique path and imprinted herself upon the role, which made it so memorable.

Kate is the daughter of well known actor John Vernon, known among other roles and famous for his part at…

Fellow Colonials,

            Allow me to first wish you all a joyous Happy 4th of July this year.  This year has thus far has been full of joy for many here in the United States as well as for those in different…

"Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad" as spoken by Prometheus in Henry Wadsworth's The Masque of Pandora.

I had the opportunity to sit down with Alec Peters and discuss his latest project and it was an interesting talk.

I've known Alec for around 15 years so it…

This time around we got a chance to speak with JG (John) Hetzler, very well known for his role as General and then Chancellor Martok on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Ironically John's first appearance on Deep Space Nine was not at Martok, but in the pilot episode of that show as the Vulcan captain of…

The "modern' Galacticon (or at least in the form we know it now) was kicked off in Los Angeles in 2003...Richard Hatch & team put that together to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Battlestar Galactica.

(I have had the good fortune to be on that team and every subsequent Galacticon…

Anne B. Davis, who portrayed Alice Nelson on The Brady Bunch passed away Saturday June 1st.

The part she played was as the housekeeper for the Brady family, but the character was much more than that...she was an integral part of that "Bunch" who must somehow form a family and just as much as member of that extended brood as Mike, Carol, Greg, Peter, Bobby, Marcia, Jan…

It's not often that I sink my teeth into something like a film, a book or in this case a comic book story and do a formal review.

Sure I have opinions...and I voice them all over the place about a variety of things...things in general, Battlestar Galactica in particular...but a formal, up & down, documented opinion of a particular work.

Meh...not.

But, but...the folks over at …

This is a series of interviews that will be done with various actors & actresses exploring their thoughts about the convention scene and what is going on in the universe around them.

Our first interview is with Claudia Christian, who is probably best known for her role as Commander Susan Ivanova on Babylon 5.

Her first television role was a guest appearance on Dallas & then as series regular Melody Hughes on…

Ravens,

It is never an easy thing to lose someone very close to you whether you are directly related to them or whether you are very good friends with them.  

Please keep in your prayers, the family of a very good friend of the Raven's very own Chief Engineering Officer Jeff "Gambit" Phillips and the Raven's very own Communications…

Colonials,

Two new convention Banners will be making its debut next week that will be representing not only Battlestar Raven, but the mother club ,  Battlestar Galactica Fan Club. These two new convention banners of course will be accompanied by the Raven's original banner as well.  The two banners will also become what I call "the Traveling…

Hello Colonials!

I bid you a good day or evening...depending on when you read this!
