Last week-end It was the first Comiccon of Quebec City in Canada.  Chief of Machine Room PO2 Hugo Valencia and I have been representing Colonial Defense Forces and the BSG fandom.  

PO2 Valencia (hard to recognize him without greasy hands and face...), Col. Landry as COL.  GDSOAB Saul Tigh and littl'Padawan Asohka Tano Landry.

With another BSG fan met there.  "What the fraaaak!  What the hell is this, water?"

At ease! PO2 Valencia, leave those comic books alone and lets have a good bottle of ambrosia!

Welcome aboard all new Crew. If any of you want some real fun, and if you prefer your Cylons up close and personal, you're invited to apply to join the Raven Battle Group Colonial Marine Detachment. There is no written test. The OIC, Tusker and me are the test.

Congratulations to all the new Ensign pilots (salutes). It is tradition for newly commissioned officers to pay a cubit to the enlisted person rendering a first salute. Payments will be received in Joe's Bar, preferably before you get shot up by the Toasters. - Sgt. Paul "Iceworm" Oakley, Marine Detachment NCOIC.

Hello Colonials!

It has been a while since I had the opportunity to talk to all of you, what with the trip to Florida & the subsequent catching up of everything...(there's always things to do!)...but back I am!

Speaking of my trip, or more specifically...I want to thank Gene & Renee Hagerty for the wonderful event that they put on along with the wonderful staff that pulled it all together.

I think you'll see some familiar faces in this photo...and btw, the man in the Colonial helmet is Dr. Story Musgrave, veteran astronaut who served is the only person to have flown on all of the shuttles but also served onboard Skylab.

You'll also note that Nicki Clyne, Jack Stauffer & Aron Eisenberg joined in the group photo!

We of course tonight want to honor our Heroes of Battlestar Galactica, so I will proceed directly to that.

Firstly (and you all probably recently saw a blog I published in honor of this man called "Farewell to a Gunslinger"), I wish to honor a wonderful man, great actor, gentleman and everything else good that can be said about a person...someone who joined us on our Galacticruise in 2008 & was always very personally kind to me....Mr. Denny Miller.

Denny passed away September 9th but he is certainly not forgotten. He is well known to BSG fans as Ser-5 in the episode "Gun on Ice Planet Zero'...he also starred ad Duke Shannon on Wagon Train.

Denny also appeared in the Peter Sellers film The Party....along with spots on Gilligan's Island, The Brady Bunch, Alice and many more television & film projects.

The Hero goes to Denny Miller!

We also honor an actor who appeared in television shows ranging from The Twilight Zone, Banacek & Newhart and film projects such as Love is a Many-Splendored Thing & How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

You all know him as Specter on the original Battlestar Galactica.

Though no longer with us, the history of his film performances remain.

The Hero goes to Murray Matheson!

Last but not least, this actor was born in Jerusalem in the then Mandate of Palestine in 1919...his first job in the US was as a subway electrician.

His television credits span such shows as Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Gunsmoke, The Wild Wild West & Chicago Hope (to name just a few).

Films include Some LIke it Hot, Sadat & Yentl (again to name a few).

You all know him as the wicked leader of the Eastern Alliance in the original BSG episode "Experiment in Terra".

Though retired from the acting now, he paints full time and lives in Calfornia.

The Hero goes to Nehemiah Persoff!

Please remember to keep checking back with us on news for Galacticon IV and just so you know new guest announcements are on the way for November!

So Say We All!

Shawn O'Donnell

President

Battlestar Galactica Fan Club

Colonials,

            I hope everyone is doing well and life is good.  First i wanted to a brief moment to thank everyone personally who gave me time to deal with my retirement from the United States Naval Service.  To President O'Donnell, Daniel Allen, Cherry Oclima and other close friends i thank you.  Everyone else i am proud to say i am OFFICIALLY retire and can fully focus on what i love.  Sci Fi and everything that makes me a Sci Fi geek of all genre to help fellow members wherever they are here in the states or around the globe.   I have retired after serving 20 years in the US Navy and i bring that talent and experience to everything i do.  Of course all in fun here and not to take everything to serious b/c as WE ALL know it can suck the fun out of anything right?

           I have settled in to my new City after moving from Florida and will be back on full duty starting tomorrow.  For all you Viper and Raptor jock you have all passed your examinations and will be getting your Certificates and Awards tomorrow.  Give me 24 hours to get them all out and if you have not gotten yours after 24 Hrs email me at CAG_VF84@yahoo.com  i will also check eng33ladder49@yahoo.com if email is sent there as well.  Expect changes folks on the BFC Fleet Military side.  There will be a few wake up calls if you will and alot of smiling faces.  I have some catching up to do, but not much. 

           Fleet personnel can expect subtle changes here and there.  There will a be a few revisions to existing SOPS(Standard Operating Procedures)  For my Colonial Marines there will also be some changes as well nothing to major but i am steering us into a positive, productive and expanding direction.  I will be releasing the Fleet Ship compliment and commissioning procedures soon.  If you are interested in becoming a ship Commanding Officer my email is CAG_VF84@yahoo.com  Lets talk and i like doing short interviews so i can get a feel for you and answer questions you may have.  Just allow me 48 Hrs so you as the interested party can read the, "Fleet Ship compliment and commissioning procedures"  Colonials in due time i will have us exactly where we need to be as a FLEET and more importantly as a FAMILY!   I expect nothing but the best from you all as i know you expect the same thing from me and MORE! Thank you very much all of you for constant support and cooperation i appreciate it.  SO SAY WE ALL!!  ~SALUTES!~

Well known of course for his role as Starbuck in "Battlestar Galactica", Dirk is probably equally as well known for his role as Templeton "Face" Peck in "The A-Team."

Dirk's first film "Georgia, Georgia" debuted in 1972 & he followed up with a string of television and film appearances, notably alongside Linda Blair in "Ruckus" & notably as Jake Barnes in the 1996 film "Alaska".

Dirk is also the author of several books, the first of which "Confessions of a Kamikaze Cowboy: A True Story of Discovery, Acting, Health, Illness, Recovery, and Life" which was published in 1991.

Shawn: What was your first Con experience?

Dirk: I can't remember, sometime around '98. In Florida. I was sure people thought I was Harrison Ford...why else would they be coming to see me???

Shawn: How did it go?

Dirk: I was stunned that people remembered me. The very first "fan" I met at this convention was in an elevator on the way to the signing area and she did a double take as she recognized me & said, "Whatever happened to you?" I'm not sure what she meant. Did she wonder why she didn't see my on TV anymore (I also wonder that) or was it that I looked..."older"? But I never forgot and quite often sit in front of the fire during the winter, with a cigar and whiskey and wonder, "What the hell happened to me?"

Shawn: How about the best Con you've been to?

Dirk: Most of them have been quite good...seriously...and the fans are wonderful, though I STILL don't know how or why they remember me. I suppose I'd choose the show I did in Salt Lake City in the summer of 2013. It was an inaugural show, had 45,000 people attend and so smoothy I wanted to hire the promoter, Dan Farr, to run my life. I was hoping Marie (Osmond) would come to see me but alas it was not to be. Why are you never remembered by those you WANT to remember you?

Shawn: How about the worst Con?

Dirk: A show in Denver about 10 years ago. I think 400 people showed up. Most of them NOT to see me. I spent most of my time in the bar.

Shawn: How about the strangest or most unusual fan you've encountered at a Con?

Dirk: I think all fans are strange and unusual, as are all actors. All people. Once you scrape the surface. The wonderful thing about "fans" is, they aren't afraid to show it...for the most part. There's no such thing as an "ordinary" person...you just need to get to know them, which I try to do in some small way at shows...even if is for a minute or so to do it.

Shawn: Have you had any actual bad experiences at a Con?

Dirk: I've been stranded at the hotel after the show was over a couple of times. And one time the promoter absconded with all my (and a few other actor's) money. About a month later...an envelope full of cash arrived at my home in Montana. Yikes!

Shawn: What would you do differently if you were running a Con?

Dirk: I'd give Dirk Benedict an hour and a half to do his "talk"...so he can truly get everything off his chest. Of course we'd have to charge admission. And hire lawyers?

Shawn: Have you ever wanted to get an autograph from anyone?

Dirk: Nope and I'm not sure why. Fred Astaire gave me his, George Peppard gave me his & Dwight Schultz keeps promising to give me his, but other than that, I've led an autograph free life. Do you know I don't have one picture of myself from any of the films or TV shows I've done hanging in my home. I think it's because I don't like looking back...which makes doing conventions painful in a way...and driving dangerous as hell.

Shawn: What are you currently working on?

Dirk: Trying to make the answers to these questions interesting...and finding a woman who can put up with my scatological, eclectic life-style.

Shawn: OK, how about future projects then?

Dirk: Learning how to embrace celibacy as a way of life. Oh, yoiu mean professionally...
Nope. make me an offer. I'd like to do some acting, now that my kids have found more interesting people to hang out with and I have time to do whatever I want. And then there is "The Third Book"...of which the procrastination of wriing...keeps me up at nights. But it is a wonderful excuse to drink.

Attention on deck! This is a general heads up on the recent scuttlebutt! 

The Cylons seem to have at least two new pint sized models they are mass producing for the 31st. They are disguised as Chucky and Annabelle dolls. They seem harmless enough to some, horribly creepy to others, but they are very lethal. There are also larger models as well, disguised as Evil Clowns that are already stalking the streets of some cities. Be ware.  If you encounter any Chuckies, Annabelles or Evil Clowns, you have weapons hot, dispatch with extreme prejudice!  That is all.

That is all.

Buzzsaw OUT!

With great sadness I must report the passing of a giant.

Having known this wonderful guy & having thought so much of him as a person, it has taken me a while to compose my thoughts, maybe not so much as to what to say but as to get myself to say it.

I am of course speaking of Denny Miller, who is so well known to Battlestar Galactica fans as Ser-5 in the classic episode "Gun on Ice Planet Zero".

Denny passed away on September 9th of this year.

Of course Denny's career spanned much more than one episode of Battlestar Galactica...did you know that he was the first blond Tarzan?

Yep, he starred in the 1959 film "Tarzan, the Ape Man".

Perhaps the role that Denny was best known for was as Duke Shannon on the television series "Wagon Train" which ran from 1957-1965.

Denny always said that the role he most enjoyed was as "Wyoming" Bill Kelso in the the film "The Party" which starred Peter Sellers of Pink Panther fame.

Denny had roles in many great television westerns such as "Laramie", "Have Gun, Will Travel" & "The Rifleman".

He appeared on "Gilligan's Island", first as surfer Duke Williams & then as Tongo the ape man.

Denny also appeared on such diverse (and well known & loved) shows as "The Brady Bunch", "I Dream of Jeannie", "Gunsmoke" & "Alice"

Denny also played the Gorton's Fisherman in Gorton's television commercials for 14 years.

Denny also joined us for the 2008 Galacticruise & I wanted to share one of the wonderful pictures that photographer Chris Loomis took of him then.

Filmography & all else aside...Denny was one of the kindest & most decent human beings I have met & he had a wonderful partner in wife Nancy...she too is a great and wonderful person and my thoughts are with her.

They were always so very kind to me.

How much more can be said?

Words are probably not enough, but know well that this man made his mark on the world and in the minds & hearts of millions of people...a true Gunslinger for our times...

 Welcome   So Say We All !!!!!!

This Past Saturday Night, The Raven,With Help From The 5th Fleet, Helped Recover Some Badly Needed Spare Parts From The Abandoned Outpost At Delta Corinai; Needless To Say, The Operation Was Sucessful; We Got What We Came For, And Then Some!

The Armada Met Limited Resistance As It Descended Onto The Base Alpha Twelve:

Thanks To Maps And Data From The First Cylon War, We Were Able To Find What Was Truly Salvageable; Here's A List Of What Was Recovered:

- 30 Tons Of Viper Mark II Spares And Components

- 50 Tons Of Viper Mark III Spares And Components

- 25 Tons Of Raptor Mark I Spares And Components

- 15 Serviceable Military Vehicles

- 200 Titanium Sheets

- 50 Rolls Poly Carbon Skin (Mostly For Stealth Aircraft)

- 3,000 Assorted Small arms, Including HMGs And Mortars

- 10 Heavy KEW Turrets

- 25 Tons Of Usable Ammunition(Conventional)

- Various Electronic Equipment

In Addition, There Was A Very Small Amount Of Tylium, But It Had To Be Left Behind.

During The Recovery Process, There Was Resistance By A Cylon Scouting Unit, Which Was Repelled With Light Casualties. After The Cargo Had Been Secured, The Civilian Ships Were Escorted Out Of The Area By The 5th Fleet; The Raven MARDET Left Behind A 20kt Nuclear Device To Prevent Anything Else From Being Recovered:

When The Raven And Her Group Were Clear, She Jumped Out; However, The Cylons Decided To Follow!

We Encountered Two Of What Appeared To Be Cylon Weapons Platforms, Or, Their Bastardized Versions Of Gunstars:

 Looking Like They Were Made Of Lego Bricks, They Were Set Up In Our Path; However, The Quick reaction By Our Just Landed Squadrons Prevented Them From Doing Any Damage; We Also Encountered A Smaller Version Of One Of Their Capital Base Stars; HAMMERS SQUADRON Was Able To Disable It, Long Enough For Our MARDET To Board It, And Gather Some Intel; After The MARDET Returned  To The Raven, We Put It Out Of It's Misery.

   No Doubt As Long As The Cylons Keep Popping Up, We Will Keep Knocking Them Down!

   So Say We All!

9-27-2014 Mission Long Shot

Battlestar Ravens latest mission was planned by Captain Juan “Blindsword” Lopez with help and guidance from Colonel Keith “Leonidas” Ranson. No matter how much planning that goes into a mission like this, it doesn’t always go as planned. Some of the crew wasn’t able to be with us for one reason or another. That never stops the crew of the Ravens from having fun.

In the make believe BSG Universe, anything goes and usually the battles are one sided. Since I’ve performed many missions, I decided it was about time I had my Viper shot out from under me. I let some of the players know this ahead of time, but it was all add lib during the mission as to how and just what would happen to me. Read on to find out what happened and to see if I made it back to fight another day.

In the end, it’s all about having fun and letting your imagination take control. Feel free to join us on our next mission if you dare!!!!

Mission Objective:

“ATTENTION ON DECK” At Ease!

The Raven's Next Assignment Is One of Reclamation:

A Colonial Forward Operating Base on the frontier planet known as Delta Corinai was a crucial base for the Defense of Colonial Space during the first Cylon War. After the Armistice the Red Line was established 30 kilometers from Delta Corinia. The Colonial Garrison was dismantled in an attempt to preserve the fragile peace agreement held with the Cylons.

The base was abandoned in such haste that a large amount of usable military equipment including numerous Small Arms of all types,  Ordinance from small arms ammo to the most lethal bombs as well as short and long range missiles. The base also housed a manufacturing and repair facility for the Viper Mk-II, Mk-III and the Raptor Mk-I with a warehouse filled with spare parts.

It is imperative that this mission is successfully executed not only to reclaim the valuable munitions and equipment, but to keep it from falling into the hands of the Cylons to be used against us.

The Raven was chosen because we’re the best Battlestar in the Fleet. Any Questions?

Everyone to their action stations!!! The Raven is ready to Jump into Harms Way Once Again!!!
