Also- completely unrelated- some old guy buys a bunch of Indiana Jones toys.

And one more edit before I go to sleep for the night- If you haven’t seen The Life Aquatic, you may be unaware of the Buckaroo credit-sequence tribute.  Here it is, so you don’t miss out.

Star Wars Meets Starbuck

Lando & Starbuck

BSG Podcast

For those of you watching Battlestar Galactica, you know about the podcast, right?  If you sometimes like DVD commentary (some are good, some are bad.  Okay, most are bad, these days), you may be interested.  Ron Moore, executive producer of the show, has recorded podcast commentaries for most of the episodes so far.  They are on the DVDs, but as each show airs, the podcasts are posted online.  He records them in his home, generally, drinking Scotch and smoking.  You often hear trucks dive by outside, gardeners blowing leaves, the cats and dogs run around the house.  Sometimes, his wife, Mrs. Ron, joins him.

Ron Moore, by the way, was a Star Trek writer from the TNG era and worked on most of DS9.  He’s responsible for a great deal of the Klingon episodes and he co-wrote the first two TNG movies.  I find his podcasts entertaining and eductional.  He’s pretty honest about what works for a given episode and where they fail.  He’s good about avoiding spoilers, too, so you can listen to the podcasts each week and be sure that you’ll still enjoy the upcoming episodes.

You can download individual podcasts or subscribe to the iTunes feed at the official site.

The Last Supper

BSG Last SupperTo celebrate Easter, here’s a Battlestar Galactica image. Now the one right here is mighty small, but here’s a link to a full size, hi-res version. And I mean that sucker is really, really big. It’s like 4 megabytes big, which, for a .jpg file, is huge. If you don’t want that monster, there’s always this Flickr page. Series producer, Ron Moore (writer of most of the Klingon-themed episodes of TNG and DS9), has said that this picture holds clues to the 4th and final season of BSG, but at least one member of the cast said that the picture was overseen by Sci-Fi Channel marketing people and Mr. Moore wasn’t around for it, so there’s really no deep meaning to it at all. I’m not convinced that the DaVinci Code isn’t applicable.
