Thirty Days of Battlestar Galactica # 9--Favorite Cylon

My favorite Cylon is Cavil.

You thought I was going to say Six, right? Just goes to show I do ot always think with my hormones. Most of the time, yes, but not always.

I will confess the change in Cavil’s character over the series from one of many sinister Cylon to the mastermind villain did not feel like it was planned from the beginning, but it was still pulled off well. Dean Stockwell makes a good villain.

Wild Wild West--"The Night of a Thousand Eyes"

Our heroes face a blinded former riverboat captain named Ansel Coffin who has been sinking cargo ships o the Mississippi River. Four federal agents have been killed in the ship attacks over the previous month. Coffin plans to blackmail the federal government into offering tribute for the safe passage of cargo.

Coffin is played by Jeff Corey, a veteran of science fiction and adventure shows from Star Trek to A-Tean to Babylon 5 and pretty much everything in between. He plays Coffin as a total loon who refuses as much as possible to give into his blindness. He has surrounded himself with items that will appeal to his other senses, including things like children’s toys, which gives him an even creepier vibe.

Coffin is still not one of the more memorable villains of the series. The climax in which Jim is temporarily blinded and ha to fight Coffin on his terms is predictable. What is not so predictable is that Jim’s sight returns, so he finally gets Coffin dead to rights. I suppose it would have been corny if he had bested Coffin in a blind duel, but what really happened does not seem all that sporting.

The episode has a few contrivances that are annoying. One of the killed federal agents’ daughter shows up, offers clue to Artie, then is never seen or heard from again in spite of her wanting to kill Coffin personally. Coffin’s girlfriend does not speak until midweek through the episode because there is something wrong with her voice, but then she will not hush through the remainder. Both Jim and Artie are going to let an assassin who tried numerous times to kill them both off the hook because she is a pretty girl. Never mind how angry they were originally she was part of the cadre who killed their fellow agents.

The episode does not work too well. It is not horrible, but it feels the first half and these cod wherewith by different writers who never had a meeting of the minds. Emotion run high for the main characters early on, then completely evaporates as the episode winds down. Very disappointing.

Thirty Days of Battlestar Galactica # 8--Favorite Starbuck Scene

My favorite Starbuck scene is from “Occupation.” the New Capricans have been living under occupation for five months. Starbuck has been forced to play house with Leoben. In the scene after the one in the above photo, she kills him, and casually goes back to eating, resigned to the knowledge he will be resurrected into a new body to torment her more. You get the impression she has done this any number of times already.

It is bitterly funny and horrific at the same time.

Wild Wild West--"The Night of the Casual Killer"

“The Night of the Casual Killer” follows yesterday’s theme of giving Artie a more proactive role in the adventure. As a bonus, he and Jim are undercover as a traveling minstrel show, so Jim even has to take a beating from some roughnecks and be saved by arte I order to main the ruse. It is definitely an Artie show. Ross Martin not only show off his hammy acting chops, but plays the violin twice.

Our heroes are assigned to find a former corrupt associate of Ulysses S. Grant named John Avery who has enough dirt on the president’s administration to warrant his capture. Fortunately, he has killed 22 cavalrymen who first tried to bring him back to Washington, so there actually is a good reason to arrest him other than political embarrassment. Considering how corrupt the Grant administration was in the first place, Avery must have been associated with some seriously nasty stuff.

Avery is played by John Dehner. He was a character actor who played either a cowboy, criminal, cop, military officer, doctor, lawyer, or politician in just about every sitcom or drama series you would care to name from the late ’50’s until his death in 1992. He plays Avery as a formidable villain who is cunning enough to be one step ahead o Jim and Artie at every turn, including durig the climactic escape from the mining town he has taken over.

The prerequisite pretty girl Avery has control over is played by Ruta Lee. She is probably most famous for her role on Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, but she is still active in movies and television today at the age of 74. She has maintained a certain Eartha Kitt charm in her golden years.

Lee plays Laurie Morgan, an ex-singer who apparently was not all that great since there are deliberate attempts to keep her from doing so. Within my young frame of reference, she reminds me of Jessica Simpson. There is not only a slight resemblance, but lee plays her with that English as a second language mall speak enthusiastic clueless demeanor that you really hope Simpson is faking, but in your heart fear she is not.The climactic escape from town involves a mining car chase that is not exactly Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, but is cleverly done for a low budget, ’60’s show. Avery makes for a good villain and an enjoyable show. It is also good to see Artie take the spotlight for once, even though he does not get the girl.

This guys aren't quite as impressive as Damien Walters, but this new commercial is pretty ridiculous. It's apparently for some energy drink in New Zealand.

It seems like a great way to show off burglary skills to me, but hey who am I to judge. There are no buildings in Flint tall enough to warrant breaking into with a ladder.

Formspring Question # 34--Alas, Babylon Edition

So you're a Babylon 5 fan? You should cover that series. What do you think about the third season cliffhanger? It is my favorite moment of the series

I have all five seasons of Babylon 5, but it is too much like Deep Space Nine for me to start up with anytime soon. I did like the series a lot, but I am not enthusiastic about watching it again.

As for the ending of “Z’Ha’Dum“--worth a thousand words:I was not as jaded when I first saw this back in 1996 as I am today, so I was shocked. You cannot tell from the YouTube clip, but John Sheridan, the hero of the story, sneaked a nuclear warhead into the capital city of the Shadows in a decapitation strike. It was essentially a terrorist act, even though it was clear the summit the Shadows invited him there for obviously had no peaceful intentions.

J. Michael Straczynski caused a stir when he told fans that in Sheridan’s position, he would have done the same thing. That is, kill a million innocent people along with the guilty leadership in order to stop a war that will kill billions.

I was one of those taken aback by both Sheridan’s act, because my naïve view of heroes would not allow such a thing, and JMS’ comment, because I still felt shades of gray morality was still black.

These days, it does not affect me emotionally at all. I am not certain if it is because I know more these days or because I have now done more than just take notes I a classroom, but Sheridan’s act seems a lot more reasonable now than then.

It could just be my attitude that pacifists are the enablers of evil. The actual quote from George Orwell replaces ’evil” with “fascists,” but I do not think he went far enough by saying that. Sometimes, you have to have the nerve to do nasty things for the greater good.

EPIC DUCKFACE GIF

I've touched on the duck face before, but this had to be posted.  By my count there are about 20-30 pictures in this gif, all damn near identical. She even managed to look the exact same through several different hairstyles.  And no, ladies, stop right there. This isn't a kissy face. If a girl tried to kiss me like that, I would immediately call up Chris Brown and have him come punch her in her stupid face(I don't personally hit girls, I have people for that). And no, it also isn't a modeling pose, because hot models would never make that look.

Ward v. Wilbanks

I am going to indulge in a little less hyperbole in discussing the ruling in Ward v. Wilbanks than many other Christian conservatives have been. Most are missing the point, but not by much.

Federal District Judge George Steeh, whom I must note for the purpose of forcing Project Savior’s panties in a wad is a Bill Clinton appointee, dismissed a lawsuit filed by Julea Ward against Eastern Michigan University claiming religious discrimination. Ward was denied entry into the school counseling program because she would refuse to counsel homosexuals. In order to be licensed school counselor, Ward would not be allowed to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation regardless of her personal belies.

Eastern Michigan University was well within its rights to deny her admission since she does not fit the requirement for professional licensing. Consider that most of the other graduates of the program are probably at least marginally Christian, there is no religious discrimination in this case. The university just is not going to waste time and resources on a student who refuses to accept professional responsibility from the get go.

I do not believe this amounts to the thought police instituting a No Christians Allowed policy. Ward herself would be allowed to believe homosexuality is a sin all she wished as long as she did not refuse to counsel homosexuals based o her belief. Unfortunately, that is what she opted to do in violation of the professional ethics of her chosen vocation.

This does encourage a certain “don’t ask, don’t tell” atmosphere about one’s religious beliefs in academic settings, but from personal experience, that has been the case for a long time, particularly if a Christian is in a science or philosophy class.

Truth be told, this is the right decision. What really gets me is Ward herself. Why is she pursuing a degree in which she will have to work in a secular environment when she is obviously adamant about pushing her sectarian beliefs?

I have a unique perspective on this, too. I have an undergraduate degree from the secular University of South Carolina and a law degree from Christian Regent University. The studet body of the latter was about a third graduates of Christian schools who had never and would never dare set foot inside a secular school. Once they discovered you had done so, you were not considered to be a real Christian until you offered up compelling evidence you never chanted from Charles Darwin’s The Origin of Species while participating in ritualistic homosexual orgies I the name of Satan. You know, the kind of stuff that goes on at secular universities all the time.

Ward sounds like the type who would think that sort of thing. She would probably be better served getting a school counseling degree from somewhere like Regent university where she can network to find a Christian school to employ her which will better suit her sensibilities. The homosexuals are much deeper in the closet at Christian schools--until they get caught molesting boys. Regardless, Ward’s conscience would be clearer in such a place.

So why is she raising such a ruckus over not getting a career that would put her in an uncomfortable position, anyway?

Thirty Days of Battlestar Galactica # 7--Favorite Battle

My favorite battle is the Battle of the Resurrection Ship.

I have said quite a few times during my Deep Space Nine reviews, big CGI battles are not really my thing. There are nice to look at and effective when not as overwhelming as a George Lucas action sequence. I do not generally follow science fiction for the wow factor of special effects.

The Battle of the Resurrection Ship hit’s the right marks for me in terms of the right amount of CGI and human drama. The sequence is action packed, but not overwhelming and the image of severed Cylon body parts floating through space is an oddly chilling touch.

One thing about the entire battle is the underlying belief it is not necessary to fight it. Cain wants to destroy the Resurrection Ship in order to make the pursuing Cylons more cautious about attacking the Galactica and Pegasus. Without that ship, death will be permanent for them. Yet, the battlestars will be facing an overwhelming enemy that will take all their forces to confront.

It is not necessarily worth it, and the plan compels Adama to plot an assassination of Cain while she does the same against him. There is a lot going on outside on the actual battle, including the impending execution of Helo and Tyrol by Cain for intervenig to save Sharon.

Wild Wild West--"The Night of Sudden Death"

A group of lack clad acrobats break into the US mint in Carson City, Nevada to steal currency plates and replace them with forgeries while trying to make their caper look like an accident. The ruse does not fool anyone, so too ad for them.

Jim follows a lead from a pretty girl--did not see that coming, did you?--to a traveling circus run y big game hunter Warren Trevor, played by a young Robert Loggia. Trevor has stolen the plates so her can print up enough legitimate cash to buy his own country in Africa.

“The Night of Sudden Death,” so called because none of the mint workers were supposed to survive the “accident,” is a mixed bag. It is typical Wild Wild West fun, but did not quite utilized Travor’s big game hunting obsession in any logical way. I expected to see an homage to The Most Dangerous Game wherein Trevor wants to hut the famed Secret Service agent as the ultimate challenge. Instead, Trevor is your typical power hungry villain who wants to be a fly by night dictator.

He only uses his hunting skills in the end after Jim and Artie have foiled his plan by recovering the plates. There is only a brief struggle I which Trevor is thrown into a lake and eaten y an alligator. Considering one of the early action sequences was the same thing happening to Jim with the exception Jim’s alligator assailant did not survive the encounter, Trevor’s end does not speak well of his alleged mad big game hunting skills.

His fate does remind me of how much I expected Steve Irwin to eventually get eaten by a crocodile and found it deflating he met his fate by in a freak accident by a sting ray. Krikey, the indignity!.

It should not surprise you there is plenty of philosophizing that man is the only animal who kills for sport and is somehow lesser in the natural world for it. Well, we have opposable thumbs and can alter our environment, so there to suit our needs. Plus, we are the only creatures on Earth aware of our own mortality, so we have foresight. Take that, animal kingdom!

This is the first episode in which Artie acts like a full partner to Jim rather than just serving as the gadget man who shows up in a goofy disguise at the climax. Although he does the latter here and makes one very disturbing clown. Artie is the one who recovers the plates and torches the money while Jim turns Trevor into gator vittles.

“The Night of Sudden Death” is worth watching, but not a classic. Trevor does not live up to the promise of villainy he is supposed to be. Oh, and in spite of Robert Conrad’s claim he did all his own stunts, it is pretty obvious that is not him being ambushed from above by an acrobat in the first act. Our little secret, I guess.

Federal Judge Blocks Key Parts of Arizona Immigration Law

Sort of a surprise, but probably should not be considering the low esteem in which state sovereignty is held these days. The Arizona law is identical to federal law, so this Bill Clinton appointed has confirmed the mercurial whims of the ruling class trump the rule of law.

Expect further proceedings, but not so much a different outcome unless an appeal reaches the SCOTUS. Maybe not then, either. It will likely depend on whether Anthony Kennedy is feeling like the center of the universe that day.

Meanwhile, foreign lawbreakers are being favored over Arizona citizens by our government. Weir and illogical, but true. Illegal immigrants are allowed to run free in the United States because the feeds have decided enforcing its own laws is racist.

Touchy feely, "enlightened" government, anyone?

Senate Democrats Lack Support to Reform Filibuster Rules

A quiet victory for minority rights, that.

I never supported the idea of ending the so called “nuclear option.” it has been aroud for decades. I its lifetime, it has well served its purpose--tempering the more excited passions of populism.

That is what the Senate was supposed to do in the first place. Senators were originally intended to be intellectual, elder statesmen types appointed by the state legislatures to keep the more prone to populist whims House in check.

The Seventeenth Amendment allowed for the popular election of Senators, so the filibuster is about the only throwback to the Founding Fathers’ original intent.

I hate to sound like an elitist, but I would advise repealing the Seventeenth Amendment today’s Senate is full of a bunch of rich ladies and gents who won statewide popularity contests, not any professional seal of approval. The sheer fact some root loop like Alvin Greene has the nomination for Senate from a major state party is enough to make one consider getting rid of popular elections for the office.

SyFy Announces Battlestar Galactica Webisodes Called Blood & Chrome

SyFy has announced ten short webisodes totaling about one hundred minutes of story featuring a young Bill Adama’s adventures during the First Cylon War will hit the channel's website.The webisodes may serve as a backdoor pilot to a series about the First Cylon War, which is what fans wanted Caprica to be in the first place.

Several points make me think Blood & Chrome is a way of testig the waters for a change to Caprica. First, SyFy has delayed the second half of Caprica‘s first season until January. Second, Ronald D. Moore has expressed cautious optimism there will even be a second season, but is uncertain as late as last weekend. Finally, Moore went on record last spring there was not enough story to maintain Caprica original Dallas with Robots premise.

Add these three points together. I think you will draw the conclusion either Caprica is going to shift gears towards the First Cylon War story or it is goig to be canned in favor of a Blood & Chrome series that. I will concede we may wind up with both, but somehow, I doubt SyFy is going to go for two series running simultaneously when one is a prequel to the other.

I like Caprica, but I note that I did not get upset to learn its return was going to be postponed from October to January. There is no particular sense of anticipation on my part. It is just a show I am willing to watch. Talk about killing with faint praise. Like may fans, I was hoping for a more action oriented war story. Blood & Chrome sounds like a course correction n that direction.

The thing is that after reviewing every episode of Deep Space Nine and seeing how it handled the Dominion War story, I have a new perspective o aseries focusing o the duration of a single conflict throughout its run. I liked the Dominion War arc. I think it is the best Trek ever featured, but it was not without its flaws. Somewhere I the fourth ad fifth seasons, the story got lost in the Klingon-Federation War which never really materialized to any level of satisfaction. There was a lot of pointless meandering before getting back on track for the final two seasons to feature the war nearly exclusively. At that point, it felt overwhelming to cram so much ito so little time.

Babylon 5 did a fairly good job of running a huge war story through a season and a half, but the bookend seasons had a lot of dud stories with little contribution to the overall arc.

These war stories were told within a single series. What is going to happen with two series potentially dovetailing to tell parts of one story? What changes would Caprica have to make to its original arc? How much lead up would Blood & Chrome have to have for its story to be effective? Can either or both do it better than Deep Space Nine or Babylon 5? These questions have tempered my enthusiasm in Battlestar Galactica spin offs.

David Cameron Abandons Israel in Push for Turkey to Join the European Union

it did not take log for the new, center-right coalition government in the United Kingdom to lose favor in my eyes. In a speech regardig Turkey's potential membership in the European Union, Cameron not only expressed an ignorance for the extremist brand of Islam that permeates the Turkish government, but blasted Israel for its containment of islamist terrorism in Gaza.

How cynical can a political leader get? Turkey’s government is not a secular ally of the west, but fast becoming a Taliban -esque extremist government which is fast becoming a detriment to western interests. Membership I the European Union is not going to change that, assuming Turkey is seriously about joining the European Union I the first place.

But that is all European and British pageantry. If Europe believes allowing Turkey into the club can stall Islamic extremism or create an ally to help keep Iran from getting the bomb, that is their pursuit. The same goes for the United Kingdom offering appeasement to various countries which are adamant supporters of Islamic terrorism. The spirit of Neville Chamberlain and all that rot.

But to attack Israel, the country’s longstanding ally in the Middle East y perpetuating the myth Gaza is being starved into submission is a blatant lie and betrayal for dubious political gain. Gaza just opened its first mega mall a week ago which attracted thousands of shoppers. These people are not starving, but claiming Israel is committing genocide is sadly politically advantageous, so Cameron went for it.

As I said, the political ramifications are Europe's problem, but I am reminded of a bigger issue besides political maneuverings. That is God's promise to Abraham in Genesis 21:31:

"I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you."

We already have to worry about this thanks to Barack Obama's animosity towards Israel and his inability to appreciate the evil that extremist Islam can bring.

Thirty Days of Battlestar Galactica # 6--Least Favorite Character

My least favorite character is Cally Henderson Tyrol. I never saw the appeal of her, but the powers that be had originally intended for her to be a named extra who was killed in “Bastille Day,” but decided to have her character survive an assault and expand her character instead.

But nothing she was expanded to is all that impressive. Even the hint she might have been one of the Final Five Cylons was met with little enthusiasm.

I especially never bought into her marriage to Tyrol. It was doomed from the beginning. Call it a personal bias, if you wish, but it reminded me of the quickie marriages I have seen from my Christian high school and Regent university School of Law. Those were tiny, fish bowl environments where the pickings were so slim, people settled for a spouse who was not all that great, but seemed fine amog the small number of choices. New Caprica was like that, too.

It is not that these prelateships were necessarily doomed, though quite a few have been, but that the couples were so clueless about the world of choices out there, they did not know the difference. Ignorance is bliss, but not to the outside observer.

I was thrilled when she got spaced.

Wild Wild West--"The Night the Wizard Shook the Earth"

Here we have a true classic in only the third episode. “The Night the Wizard Shook the Earth” marks the first of ten appearances of Michael Dunn as the demented genius Miguelito Loveless. He is, of course, my favorite villain in the series.

The episode also marks the first appearance of Richard Kiel as Voltaire. Kiel is better known for appearances as Jaws in the James bond films The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. It is quite clear his role as Voltaire was a big influence I being cast as Jaws. Wild Wild West has been dubbed James Bond in the old west for good reason.

Jim and Artie are assigned to escort a professor who has invented powerful new explosive to Washington. The professor is killed is killed by the mysterious dwarf, Dr. Miguelito Loveless, who claims he invented the explosive first and has no intention of allowing it to be placed in the hands of politicians and generals or of some two bit professor taking credit for its creation, depending on which of Loveless’ expressed rationales you find more convincing. The fact he accepts both with equal veracity is one of the elements that make him such a great villain.

Loveless claims his grandmother used to own Southern California. It was stolen by the Spanish an later the Americans. He wants it back or he is going to use the explosive to kill 5,000 a week until it is his again.

Jim escapes a bird cage--yes, a bird cage--after convincing Loveless’ beautiful assistant to tell him where the explosive is set. He has a more difficult time suduig loveless in a church bell tower than he does the 7’ 1” Voltaire below. Go figure.

“The Night the Wizard Shook the Earth” is the only episode in which Loveless’ motivation is something as small as the return of Southern California. Later, he will be a world conquering type, at least expressly. But his real motivation will be besting Jim and Artie. An arch rivalry is born!
