What I’ve been up to and some final BSG thoughts
Image via WikipediaWell, it’s good to be back. I’ve been fairly busy recently, which means I’ve been neglecting this blog. What have I been up to? Well, two things really:
1) I’m the webmaster for a new site that is really just getting going (I’d say it’s in beta stage, at the moment). It’s called Lifefoc.us, and it’s a personal improvement website. If you’re interested in achieving more success in your personal or professional lives, you may want to check this out. Have you ever been to an Anthony Robbins type seminar? What happens at an event like that is that you often get super charged up with their feel good messages. You come out of them feeling like you can take on the world. The problem, though, is that you have to leave the seminar at some point and actually take action on your own. I believe this is why most people fail when they try and make a positive change in their life. You want to do it, but where’s the support and encouragement? This is what this website will be, a like minded of community of people helping each other. I’m pretty excited about it.
2) I’m also working on a new, fitness oriented website. I’m making progress on it, but it’s far from complete. I’ll have more to say about this in the future.
Anyway, I just want to wrap up a few loose ends concerning Battlestar Galactica. In an earlier post, I mentioned that Tricia Helfer had mentioned that the final episode of BSG (which they’ve already filmed) will make people want to re-watch the miniseries. Well, I did this, but I didn’t really see anything that jumped out to me. The only thing that I noticed (and it’s a small, most likely irrelevant detail) is that when Starbuck was replaced in the Galactica ceremonial flyby, she was replaced by a Lt. Anders. Coincidence? Most likely, but it’s the only thing that stood out to me that others haven’t commented on.
Another great theory I read on someone’s blog, although I can’t find it now, is that Earth is more like Heaven to the colonials. In order to get to it, you have to die. Starbuck had to die to see Earth, and Roslin is always close to death, which is why she has visions of it. When Starbuck saw earth, she described it as green with trees. That’s not quite what we saw, is it? Remember when Roslin’s’ fellow cancer patient friend (played by Deep Space Nine’s Nana Vistor) died, and they had to cross a river to reach a verdant field? Didn’t that seem very Earth like to you? The final script (reportedly) reduced Edward James Olmos to tears. Could it be that both he and Roslin die, and reach Earth together? That sounds like a Galactica thing to do. I guess we’ll find out in January.
