We must always remember the brave men and women in uniform, military and first responders, who put themselves in harms way every day. They deserve our respect, our thanks and our support. They truly make this the land of the free and the home of the brave.

12578101686?profile=originalStellar con  at UNC-G  campus  was  2  days  of   slow  meet and  greets  with the  Uss serenity while I  was  there  both  days  between  10-1430 hrs. Once  again  I  was  the only  Colonial  at  the  entire  even .It  was mostly   Anime  creatures  it  seemed  . The  USS  serenity  CO J  Darnell  and  the  SFMC  DOIC MCapt.  R Presson  were  the only  two   there  both  days manning their  fan table  besides   me . While it is  a  2  day  con as  East gate was only  a  1  day  event Stellar  was run  by  the  science fiction  federation  club on  the  university's  campus after  not  being held for many years due  to  fiances  and  no interest in  any one  doing it.

I did make  contact  with the  student  organizer  who saw  the uniform I  was in and  asked if I  could try to  reach out to  any  BSG  groups  in the  area  if there were  any  that might  be interested  in  attending  next  year. I only  said I  would  see what I  can  do. Only group  I  can  reach out to  close  by is  the  Gunstar in  Fayetteville  NC. SO  GSO  might  be a  bit  far  for  Adm.  Ranson  and  the  rest of the  crew  to  get to a  con   for two  days. At least  its out  there when I  speak  to  him. The  final  call  is  his to  make. in all  it was  a fairly  run  con   with many  vendors  ,  artists  and   things going on.  I  was  told  they  did  have  a BSG  board  game  in  their  game  room. I  did not how ever  look in  to  that.

Here is some more Sci-Fi technology becoming a reality now.  Behold:

 

Plasma Jet Electric Thrusters For Interplanetary Spacecraft! They seem to give much better thrust than the modern and wimpy ion engines.  It also looks to be more cost effective, and easily scaled up or down depending on what sort of space craft you are working with.

Cool! Maybe we CAN all have a Viper of our own some day soon!

Blood And Chrome

I just can't understand why they would not have a tv series instead of 10 minute webs. Doesn't the exec's realize that BSG put them on the map. SYFY should understand that BSG made the channel what it is today not the WWE. Blood And Chrome would bring more advertising to the channel plus all the merchandise they would sell. If the SYFY channel isn't careful they will loose loyal individuals who care about SCIFI. If the are not careful maybe another channel will appear and show tv shows and movies that appeal to everyone!

"Visit Caprica" Website

If you haven't already, I'd encourage any "Caprica" fans to visit my website, VisitCaprica.com. It is my attempt to document the filming locations used in the series. I've ID's the vast majority of locations, but there are still a few locations to pin down!

 

This can be a valuable resource if you are planning a trip to the Vancouver area and want to visit some of these locations.

Happy Birthday-DragonLady

Words do not even sums up what I really wanted to say here.  Today is a very special day to someone that is very Dear to my heart!  I really had no idea what to give to this person as a birthday gift that will mean to her more than anything else.  And I thought of this one thing that she will never expect coming from me.  So I contacted her very good friend Miguel Rivera and ask for his help to make me a one of kind BSG artwork that only him can do since they are good friends of many years.  I have watch Miguel and her do phenomenal work on Battlestar Aries.  The two of them are one hell of a team together on the Aries in my humble opinion. So without further ado, I would like to present the following phenomenal artwork done by Miguel Rivera per my request to him, to none other than this special woman.  My significant half,  DragonLady.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!

The significance of the artwork relayed to me by Miguel are as follows:

- The back ground was kept lively in order to honor her sensibility while complimenting her bright personality.

-The shields in the corners carefully noted are in the same shape of "Superman S" to denote her hard work and integrity. That is the same frame shape that is used on Battlestar Galactica, where all the papers and frame the corners are removed

- He also place the Phoenix logo not only because it looks cool, but most importantly she represent what a Colonial Warrior embodies. Makes him very proud that she has come along way and still learning.  But then as we all are.

-The binary numbers represent the ships computers and diagnostic in engineering.

-Next, he included parts of the Galactica hull as a token of good faith as she is a fan like many people out there.

- Lastly and faithfully, he placed two crossed wrenches because you are his Engineer and a good friend of many years.

It was a great honor for him to render this art in her honor of her birthday.

Bear Mc Creary Interview Day

Hello Everyone,

 

Just a note. I will be getting the Bear Mc Creary interview out soon. The interview went well. Bear was great, even said hello to a couple of friends for me at the end. I had asked Bear a few questions. One question was about the BSG music scores and visual memories of every moment of a scene that goes along with it. Another was in regards to his decision to compose scores. It's a cool interview, It was nice to meet  and talk to the man behind the music of BSG. I'll type up more about that interesting day soon when I get the video squared away.

Happy Thanksgiving To All - 2024

Colonials,

To all the incredible Battlestar Galactica community, on this Thanksgiving, we give thanks for the bonds we’ve forged, the stories we’ve shared, and the enduring legacy of Battlestar Galactica that unites us across the stars. As we reflect on this gratitude, let us also look forward to celebrating the silver anniversary of this cherished universe of the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club founded and established by Chris Feehan and Shawn O'Donnell, celebrating a milestone that symbolizes 25 years of resilience, hope, and the unyielding spirit that defines us as fans and family. This celebration will take place at Comicpalooza 2025 in Houston, Texas. 

This journey has been a testament to the values we hold dear: camaraderie, perseverance, and the belief that even amidst challenges, we soar together. May this Thanksgiving remind us of the shared mission to honor the past and illuminate the future for BSG.
 
Here’s to all of you—our fleet, our family. And keep watching all of our social media outlets, especially Facebook, for the surprises and guests we have as part of the celebration next year. So we look forward to seeing all of you next year. Remember, FANS FUEL THE FLEET!!!
 
 
So Say We All!
