Deep Thoughts

There is a Languor of the Life
More imminent than Pain --
'Tis Pain's Successor -- When the Soul
Has suffered all it can --

Emily Dickinson


As we process the latest events, and steel ourselves for all that is coming, consider this:


On immortality and death in BSG.

On the bittersweet, dignified demise of BSG.

On coming to terms with our inner Cylon.

On the differences in meaning between BSG and STAR TREK.

On one of my own favorite aspects of BSG…and why, naturally, this aspect has become a bit…”complicated”…as of late.

On BSG’s relevance in the Obama era.

On the powerful melodramas at play both on BSG…and back in reality, as Obama ascends.

On the semiotics of facial hair and shaving in BSG.

A couple of fans expounding eagerly and well about BSG.

On the special language of BSG.

A few final trifles: a knitting project. A well-thought chart of upcoming character death predictions. (Baltar is “expendable”? Really?)
