Battlestar got SNUBBED as usual. Fuck you, Emmy people. I am glad with these nominations though, MCH and ME both deserve it. The entire list is here.

Why have I never seen this before? David Eick's Video Blog, David Who?


(James Callis doing a EJO and Mary McDonnell imitation, omg I DIED)

RDM: "We sort of knew what the plot was. We spent that whole first day just struggling with the mechanics of the plot, how you got from A to B. We were spinning our wheels. Who gives a [expletive] about the plot?"

HAHAHAHAH. AHAHAHHAHA. HAHAAHHAHAHAHAJHSDKASEFDSLKFLDSD;F;DSLFSLDKFKSKLDSAL




"We sort of knew what the plot was"

( HOLY SHIT BEST EPISODE EVER )

AND YOU GUYS, IT'S ALMOST MONDAY! WHICH MEANS:

( Battlestar Galactica, 'A Disquiet Follows My Soul', spoilers )

Important~ I wrote this just after watching the episode, and I might change my opinion on everything after a few days when I've read other people's reactions. I sometimes have to read a good recap or two to make sense of BSG and the actions of characters. Like I said I'm notoriously bad at interpreting people's motivations and actions so um if you're pissed off by anything I say, wait a few days and I might turn around ok.

I love how the titles of episodes are ~evolving~. They went from simple and straight forward like "Black Market", "33", "Resurrection Ship" to "He That Believeth In Me", "Sine Qua Non" and this one. I have no idea what it means, but it sounds pretty.

Oh oh oh here's my new TV schedule, IT IS SO AWESOME AND WHY CAN'T THINGS ALWAYS BE LIKE THIS:
Wednesday: Fringe (this week's episode was so good)
Thursday: Lost
Friday: The Office, 30 Rock
Saturday: BSG
♥♥♥♥♥

( The story's kinda bland. It's about this guy named Dumbledore Calrissian who needs to return the ring back to Mordor. )

I don't want to wait another week! And lol, I keep forgetting Anders his first name is Sam. Someone in a post called him Sam and I was like, wait, who?

Wow, that sure was something. My first terraspace piece! The planets, nebula, smoke, asteroids and stars were all created from a scratch. The terrain and the planet's surface was made using mostly stock images from Resurgere and sxc.hu. I found the Cylon raiders and base ships through Google search on various weblogs - I don't know who rendered them but thank you!

My original idea was to create some sort of space map of the Twelve Colonies, but I found myself doing this instead. I first created the terrain, keeping the surroundings of Baltar's house on Caprica in mind. The big blue planet on the left is the gas giant Zeus which is not described in the series (it's in the BSG roleplay book though). I took some artistic liberties with this, I mostly thought it looked good haha. The earth-like planet on the right is Virgon and the purple-reddish planet is Aerelon. I don't think the properties and locations are correct, but hell, as long as it looks good it's okay. There is no evidence of a nebula surrounding the Twelve Colonies either, but it was too empty without it. The brushing of the nebula took a few hours (like I said, all from a scratch) but it proved to be worth it in the end. The city on the far right is actually Sydney, I didn't feel like creating buildings my own in 3dsMax or something so I used a stock photo. The large smoke trail was probably the biggest hurdle - it's hard to create smoke and finding the right angle turned out to be a problem, but I think I pulled it off.

Anyway - let me know what you think. I'm going to pimp the hell out of this bitch so if it shows up on your f-list multiple times, I'm sorry!
