Bits of old stories were flitting through my head last night, like birds seen about their business out the window behind one’s desk. A phrase here and there, in my peripheral literary vision. This morning I set out to re-read a couple of the stories, couldn’t find them, and read, or re-read others instead. I’m [...]

Some sci-fi novel series I'm fond of started with one really popular book, and then were expanded. The author ended up writing novels which were technically prequels to the series, but since they were written as a more mature, seasoned writer, they were actually better books (imho) than the ones that introduced everyone to that [...]

If you haven’t seen me in person in a while, it doesn’t mean I am avoiding you– time is slipping by me in odd ways, and suddenly another week.. or month.. has passed. I’ve also been skulking a bit, and trying not to make plans that I’d end up breaking due to moodiness or family [...]

Mike and I were expanding on the theme of ‘maybe they are ALL cylons’ (and which generations thereof) last weekend. He sent me http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2007/03/but_you_and_i_w.html a link to a nifty Chicago Trib column with LOTS of speculation in the comments.. Most of the variants I’m seeing are in sync with stuff we’re thinking about, so either [...]

OK, so you’re a good egg, kinda like me. You can’t do the Eed Pebnista out loud either without using the Schoolhouse Rock riffs. Let me warn you about something. There is something worse than being unable to read Tennyson’s Lady of Shalot out loud to oneself without drifting into Loreena McKennitt. Namely, getting about [...]

Someone has, of course, posted it already. As they say, the dialog in the background totally enhances it. Just be sure to buy the Season III soundtrack when it comes out in August, eh? I sure will, and this better be on it! Oh yeah, the dialog contains spoilers out the wazoo, so if you [...]
The Fifth Cylon

I’m pretty shocked that my top picks for the fifth member of the Final Five don’t appear in the Battlestar Wiki’s speculation page. Let me tell you why I think that the 12th model is… Laura Roslyn No other humans have had visions of the Opera House unless guided by a Cylon projection (eg, Baltar [...]
