Randomness Galore! BSG, Songs, and CIV.
Hello everyone!

I've got lots and lots to say today, so I'll get started. (I'm sorry if this is incredibly random and rambly... but it's going to be.)

-----

First off, let me say that Battlestar Galactica is deffinitely the best show on television!! I am incredibly, incredibly pumped for this Sunday's episode, where I am convinced Kara Thrace (Starbuck) will die. :_| It has been confirmed that she has finished shooting this season with "Maelstrom" (this weeks episode), and that 'someone's name will be taken off the opening credits'. I'm sorry, but that's way too much convincing info to ignore! This is very depressing, because Kara ties for the best character in the series, along with her Cylon friend, Sharon "Athena" Valerii (or Number 8, in Cylon terms). I am going to be very upset if Starbuck is killed off, because so much can be done with her character, especially with her relationships between Lee Adama, Commander Adama, and her husband. Also, her apparant "pre-written destiny" (with the drawing she used to draw all the time, which recently showed up in the Temple of Five) could change the whole show... for the better, I might add.

If you're not watching Battlestar, shame on you!:p Tune in!! I demand of you! ;) But honestly, it's really amazing, and it will undergo some truly huge changes in the coming weeks, with "Maelstrom" and the 2-part season finale.

-----

Some cool news... I might be going to CIV!!!! :D Amazingly exciting, you say? I know! I finally convinced my mom to look at the websites, and to start considering prices and everything. Also, my grandmother has a friend who lives in L.A., who can give us lots of information. Although the odds of me going are still very slim, and I'm trying not to get my hopes up, I'm still pretty happy right now! Woohoo!

And since there aren't any CIV pics, I just chose this CIII pic (wow.. I just realized something. If I go to CIV, then it'll be the 2nd Celebration in a row that I've been to! Cool!)


Now that I've got some of that excitement out of my system, I can move on.

-----

I'm not sure this is just me, or if it's totally normal, but I associate songs with everything from types of food to different books. For example, I now think of Battlestar Galactica whenever I hear "It Ends Tonight" by the All American Rejects. Ever since it played for about 10 seconds in an episode preview, it sends my mind reeling every time I hear it.

Also, I associate this song (I don't even know what it's called, or who sings it) with the novelisation of Ep. III. It's totally random, and it doesn't fit with the story or anything, but it still sticks!

Lastly, (wow... I actually just said 'lastly' in a blog... my english teacher would be proud!:^O) I always think of blogging when I hear "Streetcorner Symphony" by Rob Thomas, and vice versa. I spent a long time on one blog (I don't remember which) right after this song came out, so I listened to it over and over, and now it is etched in my mind as 'the blog song'!!

Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this!

-----

Anywho, that's all for today! Hope I didn't bore you too much!:)

May the Force be With You, and Happy 30th Anniversary!

P.S. Happy 18th sis'!!

Shortly after RoTS was released, there was a community thread called "Songs that make you think of Star Wars".:^O It was a pretty long thread (it's actually still active) and it was great!

Music is the universal language and it speaks to us in many different ways. You are not the only one who associates music with.... LIFE.

Good luck getting to CIV!

Ay carumba, dude. A spoiler warning would be nice on this post! I've got some BSG catching up to do, and really don't want to know what's happening right now. ]:)

Other than that, congrats on getting the CIV go-ahead. It's going to be a blast!

Thanks for the comments! Sorry, nob01! I never thought! Hope I didn't ruin anything too major for you!:(

That's funny that there's a whole thread on music that reminds people of SW. That's cool.

Good luck getting to CIV!
Thanks so much!

MTFBWY, and Happy 30th Anniversary!

I'll just have to watch the whole BSG saga when it's all said and done. Clearly it's doing something right since so many Star Wars fans are into it. But, I haven't checked it out yet.

No!! You have to start watching it now! The more people that watch it, the longer it'll run! Pick up the DVD's ASAP! Then you'll be ready to watch season 4 when it starts!

(Can you tell?... I really love BSG.)

AW! Por thing. Yet another victim of the multiple cliffhangers of BSG.

this Sunday's episode, where I am convinced Kara Thrace (Starbuck) will die.

You read that article/interview too, huh? Just remember, they dont want to give us answers before the show happens, but they also NEVER make things so obvious. Even the trailer/previews for Maelstrom make it look like without a doubt, Starabuck gets blown to Kingdom Come. But think about it - Bulldog came back, Apollo survived, and others. Kara is the STRONGEST character on the show, and my FAVE. She will somehow come back, even if not until season 4. She HAS TO!

:D

Here's the AAR song trailer. Now you can listen over and over again ;)

I had that music in my head like crazy too. And I also have certain songs that turn into theme songs for various things. Sometimes its really random LOL. There was a song I heard just today that I realized was from a show or movie... I don't remember (the song or where it came from)! GAH :_|

I believe I got the link from you, actually! Thanks!

Yes, I totally agree. That preview with Baltar being Downloaded was so brutally obvious, and it turned out to be a fantasy (which I'm sure everyone expected). But it has been officially confirmed that Katee Sackhoff finished her work on this season with "Maelstrom". Along with the fact that it is official that someone will die this season, I can't help but think that she's going to die.

And, like you, she is my favourite character (besides Athena).

I'd be okay with her disappearing for a little while and coming back next season. That would be good. But I did read, in an interview with Sackhoff, that her contract had "another 4 years" in it. That was mid-season 1, so her contract would extend to somewhere in the range of season 5. That looks promising...

I already listen to it over and over, but thanks! I dowloaded it soon after I heard it on the trailer, and I listen to it all the time. (And don't worry - it's completely legal to download music in Canada.)

Thanks for your awesome comments, jkthunder! And everyone else as well! Much appreciated!

MTFBWY, and Happy 30th Anniversary!

Hey! Just wanted to let you know we also chat up BSG on the message boards here. ;)

Yeah - Maelstrom was pretty dramatic, but still... it didn't *feel* like the end of Starbuck. Maybe I'm just too stubborn to beleive she's gone. But as you say, Katee has contracts. Her "death" just seems way too abrupt, especially the way it was narrated on the show. Boom - show over? I don't think so. :D
