He said the p-word. (Honestly, I just beeped it because it’d be funny. Sean was laughing because he noticed I was writing down the time and realized what I was going to do.
Indeed! Knowledge is good.
Yeah, that was puzzling to me too. Especially b/c the bleeping seemed to be an in-joke.
So, what was it? 'Cause if we don’t know, the joke is lost.
Oh trust me you didn’t offend me(and I can pretty much say that you wouldn’t have offended the other bunnies either) and I know it is all in good fun - heck we are expanding the BSG stars in Bunny teeshirts…several of us went to the Con in Chicago this past week - they have a pick of them holding a teeshirt up to Tamoh (it was Katee Sackoff’s tee-shirt and it was a small - no way it was fitting him), and they gave Katee her shirt and she put it on for the pick.
Trust me calling Ellen a Bunny is by now way offensive…the whole title of Bamber Bunny started on the thread to try and insult us - of course we took it and ran with it and now wear it as a badge of honor.
My hope is that our big meet-up next year is at DC and you guys are all there to - I’ll introduce everyone - I have already introduced at least one Bunny to you and one that joined the fray recently was already a fan…I am 99% sure that either way I am going to DC - so I hope that is the one you and Audra come too (and maybe Sean???)
The volatile nature of Lt. Dualla appears to me to be the voice of RDM seeping through. Different characters serve different roles. Some characters are supposed to be the dramatic leads. Some serve as proxies for the audience to associate with like the companions in Doctor Who. I honestly think that, at the time of the third season, RDM expresses himself through the voice of Lt. Dualla more than any other way.
Miguel, I think BSG is operating in something like “comic book time,” where months and even years of a book’s/series’ run can take place and only a matter of weeks go by in the storyline. It can be very weird. :rolleyes:
Anyway, I don’t know if there’s an official timeline, but if you’ll remember back to “Bastille Day” Lee reminds everyone that from that point on (about two weeks after the attacks or so?) there are six months till the next presidential election. So from the start of season one (“Bastille Day” was only episode three or four, no?) to JUST before the jump forward at the end of the season two finale only six months’ time passes, assuming that there is no transitional period between Roslin’s administration and Baltar’s (unlike the American system but like the British system. I don’t know why I assume this, though). Then there’s that leap of a year, so the colonists are on New Caprica a whole year before the Cylons invade. Then, between the end of season 2’s finale and the first episode of season three about four–maybe six–months go by (I seem to remember reading this in an episode synopsis on TV Guide or hearing RDM talk about it on a podcast. I suppose Galactica Wiki has something about it, but I’m just too lazy to check).
After that, your guess is as good as mine. I assume that after “Exodus Part II” the timeline resumes, more or less, at the same pace as season 1, and only a matter of weeks go by from the beginning of season 3 to the end. It could be a matter of months, though (the rewatch might help me with this since I’ve only watched season three once through).
Hope that helps. 
I always thought Lee was pushing 30, but that may be because I know Jamie Bamber is my age, and I’m 34.
(And now I’ve said too much and will have to liquidate you all! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!) 
Raemani, I would totally go to Dragon Con for a meet up next year. That would be so much fun. I don’t know how the wife will feel about my hanging out with a group of Bamber Bunnies, but I suppose you’re not “Armando Bunnies,” so there’s nothing to worry about.
Though “Armando Bunnies” does have a nice ring to it…
“Armando Crias?”
That is really interesting and something I hadn’t even considered. What are examples other than her relationship with Billy?
Oh yeah, the P-word. Appropriately the “next-to-last” entry on the list of censored words on GWC, right behind the 4 letter S-word (as in wooden sh–).
Correct you are Mr. Phil! I did indeed say the “Next to last” thing that would get me beeped on the cast 
The discussion of connecting Shakespeare to sci-fi got me thinking. Audra mentioned it would be hard to do it without using Patrick Stewart. However, he is really only the p-CENSORED-ate Shakespearian actor in scifi. The ultimate Shakespearian actor has to be Ian McKellan. He’s been doing his one-man Shakespeare show for years (saw it in the mid-80’s).
What about armin shimmerman? (quark)
Other Sci-Fi/Fantasy-Shakespeare connections:
Ian Holm (LoTR-Hamlet)
Mel Gibson (Mad Max-Hamlet)
Helena Bonham Carter (Harry Potter, Frankenstein-Twelfth Night, Hamlet)
Kenneth Branaugh (Harry Potter, Frankenstein-You Name It)
Ethan Hawke (Gattaca-Hamlet)
Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix-Othello)
Kate Beckinsdale (Underworld, Van Helsing-Much Ado About Nothing)
Sir Alec Guinness (Star Wars-Twelfth Night [TV, but that still counts, doesn’t it?])
It’s sad that I’ve thought this much about this, but the easiest way to win the Shakespeare six-degrees game is to think of a way to connect your starting actor to a film with a large ensemble British cast (or to X-Men).
Wow, Kappa, that’s sweet. Memorizing that list would make the game a whole lot easier, sorta like knowing all 25-or-so words that start with “Q” but don’t have a “U” after it helps with Scrabble.
So… What are they?
Quite true. If you really pay attention, all the action from “Kobol’s Last Gleaming, part 2” through at least the end of “Valley of Darkness” happens in a DAY. One day.
Anyway, here’s the timeline as I recall it. In “Bastille Day” Lee said there were seven months until the election. In “Kobol’s Last Gleaming” the final tally for Helo’s days on Caprica was something just over 50. When they met up with Pegasus, Cain wondered what Roslin and Adama had been doing for the past six months.
Then came Downloaded, which had “XX days ago” printed across the screen, but the days didn’t quite add up. In the podcast commentary for “Lay Down Your Burdens,” RDM repeatedly refers to Lee’s statement that it would be NINE, not seven, months until the election, so there was obviously a slip-up among the writing staff in there somewhere. It’s most notable if you try to track Athena’s pregnancy, which I don’t think works out quite right either, even given that she delivered early.
Anyway, there’s a whole entry on the Battlestar wiki about the Season Two time discrepancy here, and how it’s got the nitpickers out of their minds.
Hey now! I’ve got to say, the local NPR station here is pretty good, and some of us donate a few pennies here and there to keep it that way.
If we posters have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but googled here
While these rantings did appear.
And this weak and idle homey,
No more yielding than an episode of Red Dwarf, where Lister is really craving curry so he devises a plan to…oh…sorry, is this a bad time?
Audra, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will bend:
And, as I am an honest Solai,
If we have unearned lackaday
Now to 'scape Sean latest tangent,
A piece of my mind you now can rent;
Else Solai a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your threads, if we be kickass,
And the Alpaca shall restore their Crias…awesome!
Solai channeling Prospero, I think. I might be wrong though. The Tempest is a work I like quite a bit.
Or is this from A Midsummer Night’s Dream?
