After screening the footage — which was met with boos — Moore took increasingly heated questions from fans, one of whom asked, point-blank, whether he would take their criticisms into consideration if the miniseries was a success and the new Battlestar was ordered to series. Moore answered, “No.” He and his team had their own vision for the show, their own story they wanted to tell, and the fans could either take it or leave it.

Twenty years later, Moore and Eick’s Battlestar Galactica has totally eclipsed the original. Though mostly ignored by the Emmys (this was before they paid attention to genre shows), BSG was a critical darling that garnered mainstream attention, a Peabody Award, and an invitation for its stars and creators to address the United Nations. It still ranks among one of the greatest TV shows of all time.

In short, the fans were wrong, and if Moore had bowed to their demands, we’d all have missed out on something special.

Soooo... I've been watching Battlestar Galactica (2003) for a while and yesterday finally finished it. I love this fandom and want to be more involved so I'm wanting to find others in the fandom to connect over this show with. I'm not sure how alive the fandom still is since the show is more than 15 years old lol but I'd love to find some Battlestar Galactica friends.

Also, for if anyone in this fandom does end up seeing this, I let my thoughts run wild towards the beginning of Season 4/end of Season 3 as I had really thought Starbuck was a Cylon. So I started a fanfic AU where she is and it's already at 35k words. I'm having such a fun time writing it as Starbuck is my favorite character and writing her is so painful but fun, especially with her circumstances in this fic and dynamics she has with other characters, like Lee.

Also I ship Starpollo, so if there are any other Starpollo shippers out there please show yourselves to me, I'd love to talk about the pair and cry over them, etc. lol. I'd also love to rp them if anyone would be interested in that, I love rping ships I really love and I think this pair would be so interesting and fun to rp.

let your faith die, bring your wonder (bsg, laura roslin)

She knows, with increasing tangibility, that the path she’s on will end soon. She’ll leave nothing but a legacy, and that’s only if the human race is very, very lucky. Or, five conversations Laura Roslin had and one she didn't. Written for @galactica-bigbang

Me, writing BSG fic? In the year 2023? Yeah, it wasn't on my bingo card either. But that's been a theme this year, and this weekend marks the 20th anniversary of BSG's premiere, and...here we are. I have some feelings about this, which will go under the cut.

I joined Tumblr after the heyday of the BSG fandom, so many of you didn't know me during that time (others haven't gotten rid of me since). It was a long time ago! The last time I wrote Laura Roslin fic was in 2011. BSG was my last major fandom during the LiveJournal era, and after it came Doctor Who and the start of my Tumblr era, which has lasted much longer and been (mostly) a joy...

But nothing's ever been like BSG. The glory days of my time in that fandom are untouchable. No fandom, and very few other external factors, have impacted my life the way BSG did. If I hadn't begrudgingly watched this show that I was deeply skeptical about (I had never watched sci-fi and had no real interest, but a friend insisted) and loved it so much that I spent most of my free time talking about it with people on the internet...

I'd be a fundamentally different person. The trajectory of my life was altered with that first episode. And now, twenty years after it first aired and coming up on seventeen since I first watched it, there is virtually no part of my daily existence that isn't impacted by/the direct or indirect result of my decision to watch this show all those years ago.

This is because of the people, of course. The incredible cast that brought this show to life, and Mary McDonnell above all, who remains very dear to me in ways I never could have imagined way back when. Laura Roslin was and is one of the greatest characters ever created, and to this day remains my favorite of all time.

Much more, though, it's because of my friends.

Most of us haven't talked about BSG in years. It's not something that I even think about particularly often, not explicitly. It's foundational, not front and center. But BSG directly gave me so many of the people that matter most, and indirectly has led to so much more joy and chaos, and so many more people, through the ripples that are still making their way into my future.

I signed up for this challenge on a whim, thinking it would be fun to revisit BSG and Laura after all this time. Then life happened, aggressively, and finishing this ended up being much more challenging than I expected. I'm glad I did, though.

It's been a ride. I'm excited to see where it will take me next.

The nice thing about watching a show for the first time from 2009 is that some of the articles saved on web.archive.org also have comments saved so I can pretend that I'm having a fandom discussion about possible theories without worrying about getting spoiled.

I feel like if Jensen Ackles can get his SPN fanfic on the air then Eoin Macken should absolutely be able to get his Merlin fanfic broadcast, too.

ApolloStarbuck Fic Yahoo Group (aka Fallout Shelter email community) Back-Up

Hello, everyone, I come bearing VERY GOOD AMAZING NEWS! Yep, you guessed it! The ApolloStarbuck Fic YG back-up file is here! Merry Pilotsmas~ We wouldn't have this back-up right now if not for the efforts of the amazing people behind the Save Yahoo Groups rescue project. If you're not familiar with the project, you can find more information on their dreamwidth page. And if you're interested in internet archiving and would like to help out, the project is accepting volunteers for tagging. There's still a lot to be done! I started volunteering as a tagger this past week, and I've been actually having a lot of fun with it.

Now, to the good stuff! I only just got the download link to the file, so I haven't done more than give everything a cursory look. Here's what I can tell though: there's a whooping 41864 total messages dating back to the start of the group in 2005, and going up until YG was deleted in 2019. By then, though, the group was pretty much dead. As far as I can tell, the entire group was backed-up successfully. Not only that but many image files were saved as well (banners! graphics!).

You can download the compressed data folder here. In order to read the messages, you'll need an email client. I'm using Sylpheed, and you can find instructions on downloading, installing, and using it here. Feel free to reach out if you have any trouble!

And of course: Have fun 💜

WIP Title Ask Meme

Prompt: Make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

I was tagged by @eternally-conflicted . I will not be tagging as many people as I have WIPs, for reasons that will shortly become clear. Also, I often will use cheeky blurbs or quips in my wip titles because the title is the last thing I do before I hit publish, which I do not do very often. Some of my WIPs are actually complete and I'm just too chicken to publish (or posted on Tumblr and forgot).

Tagging: @glamorouspixels @galadriel1010 @beerandyarn @laiqualaurelote @troiings @elialys @hypnotisedfireflies @chickiefoo bc I wanna know what y'alls desk drawers look like

Some BSG finale thoughts from me regarding Lee and Kara (spoilers ahead after cut!)

I didn't mind the ending for the most part, but I am and will always be upset about Lee's ending. Like, at the end once they're on that new planet he ends up having no one left he cares about, which is so sad. Like he wants to explore the planet and all but I know that's something he'd probably like/want to experience with someone else or at least have someone to tell his experiences to. But no, Kara is dead, his father left with Laura, and Dee is also dead.

I wonder what his father did after Laura died because then he'd be alone too. He probably built that cabin she always talked about but he'd be lonely too, I'm sure.

Just like idk, your son has no one left, go back to him. Y'all both lost the loves of your life, bond over it, keep each other company while you grieve. Build a cabin together to commemorate both of them. That's just something I wish they would have done.

But yeah, it just makes me so sad to know that Lee has no one left he really cares about to be with on this new planet. No one to experience this new life with.

And that's part of why I'm so upset about Kara. I would be less upset about her ending if his father had stayed or even if Dee was still alive, but since neither was true, she was the last person he had left that he cared about and she had to leave him too. She was the last to leave him, which hurts so much, especially since I thought it was pretty obvious neither of them wanted that. While yes, she completed her journey by leading the humans to the planet, I don't think she wanted to leave. I think she wanted to stay to experience a fresh start too, I don't think she wanted to leave Lee behind, especially when they had also finally gotten to a point where they could have gotten together with no one standing in their way.

It also gets me when I watch the scene where she's saying goodbye to him, because despite her saying how she's completeled her journey and it feels good, she looks emotional, like she's going to cry, like she doesn't want to be telling him that she's leaving him too.

And while Lee accepts her disappearance and assures she won't be forgotten, memories of her will probably always stick with him and remind him of how he wishes she was still there. I can imagine he maybe makes a grave for her or some sort of memorial, and that he probably often speaks to the sky as if hoping to speak to her, that she can somehow hear him, sharing all his adventures he has to do alone.

He would definitely miss her and I'm sure if he could've had a choice he would have had her stay, for more than one reason. I can just imagine them flying raptors (or vipers, I'm not sure how many of those ships they kept on the planet) side by side as they explore the planet's surface, crossing oceans and forests as they chase each other and mess around, laughing over the radio.

But yeah, that is my BSG rant for the day. And don't get me wrong, I'm not unbearably upset about Kara's ending, just only because of how it affected Lee's. I do wish that she could have stayed and that they could have finally been happy together, or that at least his dad came back to comfort him for a while before he was just left alone with his grief. Like not only was he left alone, but he gets stuck alone with his grief and has to try and cope and comfort himself because he has no one to comfort him, no one to turn to that he knows well anymore.

It just makes me depressed everytime I think about his ending and how it could have been better for him by multiple different ways.

the pull of fate

All of this has happened before.

All of this will happen again.

A melody fills Kara’s sleep

and haunts her days.

With it comes a swirl of colors

the feel of paint sticky on her fingers

the knowledge that she has a purpose.

If only she could figure out

what that purpose actually is.

All of this has happened before.

All of this will happen again.

She throws herself into her duties.

Flies patrols.

Trains nuggets.

She loses herself in Lee

stolen kisses

questing fingers

aching moments carved

into endless days.

She eats when someone reminds her

drinks when no one is looking

sleeps when her eyes can’t watch anymore.

All of this has happened before.

All of this will happen again.

She wears Starbuck like a disguise:

confident smirk

knowing smile

fierce grin.

But there is always the looming threat of

something

a tug in her middle pulling her along

like a leash looped around her neck.

All of this has happened before.

All of this will happen again.

Kara’s breath catches in her chest

beside her racing heart.

Lee’s spread out beneath her

slick with sweat

eyes hungry for…

for her.

He’s inside her

his scent all around her

and still he wants more.

For a moment—

just a breath—

she allows herself to forget

the end of the world

(all the worlds)

and falls into him.

For a moment

she’s flying.

All of this has happened before.

All of this will happen again.

After, the weight is still there.

After, a thread of hope remains.

NaPoWriMo day 5.2 - Starbuck
