Tigh/Roslin for President

I’m not sure what ticket they would run under, and I doubt I would vote for them, but it looks like Battlestar Galactica’s Saul Tigh and Laura Roslin are running for President. I love Tigh’s comments on Energy Policy… “Gods dammit, cut back or you won’t have any energy at all! The Cylons will have it all!”

Of course it’s no wonder people are hoping they will run given how they feel about the current candidates. Some are already thinking they are running the Republican ticket.

Death Star Canteen

What if the Death Star in Star Wars had a cafeteria? And what if everyone, including Darth Vader, had to eat there? Eddy Izzard demonstrates, in Lego format.

Death by tray!

Skeleton Bar

I don’t know if I’d want to drink there, but I’d really like to visit this skeleton-themed bar in Switzerland. Apparently there have been other bars, though none quite as immersive.

Occupations of Star Trek and Doctor Who Fans

You always knew that certain TV shows influenced their fans to follow in the steps of their show heroes, but little did we know quite how much. Now io9.com has the results of a survey which shows the occupational breakdown of the fans of Star Trek and Doctor Who. While the preponderance of participants aspired to join the many fields of science, they are primarily in the mathematics and computer fields.

Where do you fall? What career did you hope to be in and which field are you actually in?

Church of the Jedi

Recruits they are seeking, yes.

Apparently it has somehing to do with a Census in which many people claimed their religion as “Jedi”

Additionally, it seems that Darth Vader harasses them.

Battlestar Galactica Primer

As many of you know, last night was the premier of Season Four of Battlestar Galactica. Salon has put up a pretty good primer on what’s happened in the first three seasons. Reading it I was surprised at just how much the show has covered, and how hard it is to summarize the show. Of interest is the last page of the article which answers a few questions about characters and plot lines.
