capt-audra.jpgWe know that when Razor is released we’ll get to see the back story of how Cain dealt with the attacks on the colonies. It’s been suggested she may not have always been the ice queen we came to know and love/hate.

Here’re the top ten reasons she got that way:

10. She was gonna be an actress. She was gonna be a star. She was gonna shake her ass on the hood of Whitesnake’s car. Then she got drafted.

9. Her college nickname: “Magic Carpet Ride.” She’d show them when she was in charge.

8. Lost a bet in grade school: Either Tommy Davison asks you out, or you become an all-powerful misanthropic dictator who terrorizes the last crumbling remnants of the human race.

7. Tired of her older brothers claiming she “fought like a girl.”

6. Had a fling with President Adar’s predecessor, Wally, and loved the taste of raw power.

5. Did a teaching stint in public junior high for three years before joining up.

4. Knew Paula Abdul was thinking of her when she writhed around, singing “Cold Hearted Snake.”

3. Always thought Cain was the cooler brother.

2. Thought women should rise to the top by kicking, rather than sitting on, men’s laps.

1. Out to shake off those damn Ro groupies once and for all!

 

capt-audra.jpgI found another cool BSG fan video on the ‘net and thought I’d share.  This one is a video montage/remix of the episode Downloaded set to the Jay-Z/Linkin Park mashup Numb/Encore.  Sweeet.

(Warning: It’s got some language in it — the song’s uncensored.)

 

capt-audra.jpgOkay, this may have been done before (I’m way too lazy to check out the fan ‘verse to see), but here goes. In the spirit of the less-cerebral and sillier side of GWC…Vote for your favorite money shot! (Or add one if you don’t see it here.)

Male money shot: 1.) Lee dropping the towel in front of D’Anna when she’s on Galactica as a reporter 2.) Anders after spending the night for the first time with Kara on Caprica 3.) Lee flexing in the mirror after losing the Fat Suit 4.) Lee in the Fat Suit (hey, you never know) 5.) Helo getting it on with Sharon on Caprica 6.) Baltar nude on his Fainting Couch

Female money shot: 1.) Caprica Six getting it on with Baltar (any scene) 2.) Nude Sharon doing Tai-chi or whatever on the Basestar 3.) Nude Sharon x100 when they tell Boomer she’s a Cylon 4.)

Dee practicing combat moves with Lee around the time they start dating 8.) Laura Roslin chilling on Bill Adama’s couch in his private quarters

Non-gendered money shot (vote on best action sequence) : 1.) Galactica dropping out of FTL in New Caprica’s atmosphere and rescuing everybody 2.) Kara flying the Cylon Raider home 3.) The Pegasus slamming into a couple of base stars 4.) Gina’s nuke taking out half the fleet 5.) Lee flying his Viper through the mining equipment to drop a nuke on a Cylon base 6.)

5. Dry air on basestar forced skinjobs to begin mandatory oatmeal soaks

4. Clumpy low-grade goo much cheaper than premium slick goo

3. Consistency of goo directly proportional to current mood of the Hybrid, and she ain’t happy

2. More useful consistency for slinging during Cylon wet t-shirt contests

5. Ellen Tigh

Regular reader/commenter (now poster) Pike says: “I mentioned this a few weeks back when I posted it.  I didn’t describe it much (since that would ruin the joke), so you might have passed over it.”

He’s right — we missed it, and after watching it we’re truly sorry we didn’t catch it earlier!  Anyone in the GWC family’ll get a big kick out of it.

Nice job, Pike.

Poor, poor Ellen’s fall;

Wife of Saul, lover of all.

Will tainted be her beauty

from loathesome skinjob VD?

What will say Colonel Tigh

If his wife’s condemned to die?

Will he poke out another eye?

Or save her from the Cy-

lons? If Ellen ends up dead,

Who’ll give Cavil head?

Alone he’ll off to bed

Dreaming of Caprica Six instead.

 

(Hey, no one said it’d be good poetry.)

capt-audra.jpgHas anyone else noticed that the humans in BSG, as well as your friends here at Galactica Watercooler, have always referred to the Cylons as a plural – that is, CylonS with an S? In the Season 3 premiere episode, for the first time, we hear them referred to as “the Cylon,” plural. You know, like deer, or fish.

You may also have noticed that the only people who have referred to the Cylons in this odd singular-plural way are the Cylons themselves- AND Sean, in his post below, entitled “Shake Off this Mortal Coil.”

What is all this about? Suddenly Sean’s using a singular noun to refer to the Cylons as a whole. Could it be that Sean has some secret knowledge about the coherence of the Cylons’ central brain-unit, or is he simply in on the “correct” nomenclature and has given himself away? And why is Sean so concerned with “shak[ing] off” his own mortality? Finally, this would also explain Sean’s indignation during the podcasts that “none of the male Cylons” are that good-looking, and perhaps also his glee that all of the female Cylons are babes.

I’m keeping my eye on you, Sean.
