Battlestar Galactica’s 4th Season is Last One June 1, 2007

“First it was off, and then it was back on. Yahoo is now reporting on a release put out by David Eick and Ronald Moore stating that they will conclude Battlestar Galactica at the end of Season 4. They said it was a creative decision, and that they wanted to end the show on their own terms. The show was always planned with a definite beginning, middle and end, unlike many other sci-fi shows and dramas. Sci Fi Channel has accepted the decision. The news had been foreshadowed this spring through statements from stars Edward James Olmos and Katee Sackhoff. Ronald Moore himself had said that the show was heading into its final act, although he said the final act could be one or two more seasons. Now we know that the final act will last for one season. The special 2-hr. episode ‘Razor’ starts off the season in November. The first regular episodes of Season 4 will air in early 2008.”

Right now, according to some random dude’s MSN name I have, the score is 4-3 for Anaheim.  RIP Red Wings!  Can’t wait to see Tim’s face tomorrow.

Shall put another handy Ubuntu tip I found tomorrow.  :D  Keeps you visiting, eh?

Oh, BSG news!  The Battlestar Pegasus movie is coming out in Fall 2007 or later.  :(  So long, eh?  An entire summer without new BSG.  :’(

Dan (and co) are doing a pretty good job on the new Campbell Collegiate website.  I must applaud them on their efforts.  *applause*

Anyways, the rantings of a mad man follow.

More perspective and point of view junk in English.

Watched a lovely video for most of Science which was awesome.  :D

Watched a video in French too, more stuff in it too.  D:

Flame Boy farted insanely over lunch, which could be classified as biological weapons.

In Math, we did more work.

Finally, in Social, we still haven’t gotten our projects back.  -.-  Had a Powerpoint presentation with a messed up projector, lol.

Battlestar Galactica 5th Season? May 13, 2007

Flight of Battlestar Continues

Battlestar Galactica’s search for Earth continues to be an open-ended adventure, executive producer David Eick said.

Contrary to comments by Edward James Olmos (Adm. Adama) at the Saturn Awards on May10, no end has been announced for the award-winning show. Battlestar Galactica is preparing to film its fourth season, one that will include 22 episodes, rather than the previously announced 13.

“For those of you who have been paying attention over the years, this is not the first time Eddie has made an announcement about the possibility of the show’s end,” chuckled Eick. “I promise you that when [executiuve producer] Ron [Moore] and I make a decision about Galactica’s future, we’ll let you know

Battlestar Galactica - 3×18 - The Son Also Rises April 5, 2007

Filed under: Battlestar Galactica, Campbell Collegiate, General, Music, My Sites, Sci-Fi — Brian @ 10:47 pm

^ If you need to “obtain” some music, comment. ^

Survivors: 41 399

Roslin draws 5 names from a list of ship captains to appoint as judges for Baltar’s tribunal, and Adama happens to be the fifth captain. On Galactica, Sam Anders grieves over Starbuck on a Viper, causing a scene and injuring his leg when he falls from the Viper.

Racetrack preps her Raptor to shuttle Baltar’s attorney Alan Hughes back to the Zephyr, but when the attorney enters the Raptor, a hidden bomb explodes, killing the attorney.

Roslin has a press conference and says she won’t let any attacks obstruct the fair trial for Baltar. In the pilot briefing room, Apollo accidentally calls Racetrack Starbuck, leading to an embarassing moment.

Roslin and the judges manage to find a counsel for Baltar - Romo Lampkin, a very strange person who wears an overcoat and sunglasses and is apparently doing it for the “fame”. He also has a cat which belonged to his late wife.

Adama grounds Apollo because he doesn’t think Apollo is fit for duty and so assigns Helo as CAG (Commander of Air Group) and puts Apollo in charge of security for Lampkin. They talk a little about Joseph Adama, Apollo’s grandfather. They choose to meet in Apollo’s quarters in case Lampkin’s quarters are booby-trapped. They all have a meeting and Baltar writes down notes.

Athena is in charge of shuttling Lampkin to Colonial One and back, but his cat escapes and while trying to get the cat out of the bottom of the Raptor, he finds a bomb. The bomb doesn’t go off luckily, and Adama has a chat with Apollo about staying focused on duty. Tyrol determines someone on the flight deck is the assassin. Cally blames it on Athena because she is Cylon and Athena is outraged on how Cally would think how she could want to bomb her own Raptor.

Lampkin interviews Number Six in a interrogation room and gives her Baltar’s pen, which was a symbol of what limited freedom Baltar would give up for her. Six says the guards won’t let her have it, while Baltar is freaking out in his cell because he lost his pen.

A deckhand hands Lampkin some paperwork from Colonial One and the marines check the box for bombs and one notices a screw on the deck, and shoves Lampkin to the ground just as the keypad explodes.

Lampkin survives and they talk about the stuff in his bag. Apollo finds part of an explosive device in the bag and Lampkin says it’s from Captain Kelly, and so Apollo talks with him. Kelly admits that he’s the bomber and says he will continue his attacks as long as Baltar is still alive.

Apollo is now the CAG again, after talking to Adama and Adama doesn’t want Apollo to help Lampkin, saying it’s too dangerous. Apollo then puts a picture of Starbuck next to Kat’s in the memorial hallway on Galactica, and the two finally come to terms about Starbuck.

In an envelope from Lampkin, Baltar receives his pen and a note saying: “There’s no greater ally, no force more powerful, no enemy more resolved than a son who chooses to step from his father’s shadow.”

 

I killed Garry! March 26, 2007

^ Need MP3’s? Ask. :O ^

Yes, I killed Garry. Actually, I didn’t. Pwned. Guillible. Kids these days…

I joined last.fm. Pwnful site. Hats off for the Audioscrobbler and their servers. :O Regular servers would have died long ago.

Just watched season finale of Battlestar Galactica, so traumatized:

SPOILERS AHEAD!

  • Baltar is innocent, at the trial.
  • Tori, Tigh, Anders and Tyrol are the Final Four… who’s the final one?
  • Fleet loses power until the Final Four realize they’re Cylons.
  • Starbuck comes back, claiming she has found Earth.
  • bsg-earth.png
  • The Fleet is in the same arm of the Milky Way that Earth is.
  • Enough spoilers!

    (Next season of BSG either coming in Sept. 2007 or January 2008, might be Sept because of 22 episodes in Season 4 instead of 13)

    Anyways, Garry missed the bus because of unknown reasons.

    Just did random questions and read random stuff in English.

    Played around with circuit boards in Science, check out Devin’s quote on the right! Also, glasses and metal rulers do not conduct electricity. >.
