Battlestar Galactica

By spacepug Don’t worry, the 13th Colony hasn’t given up on Battlestar Galactica location scouting. In fact, we’ve been very busy over the summer and will be bringing you our findings over the next several weeks. First up is the last one. Our most recent mission was to the very last location seen in the ser...

By spacepug Friday, September4th at 7pm at the Consuite (Room 226 Hyatt) is where we will gather, and then possibly move to an alternate location for food and/or drinks.  We ought to be easy to spot…look for some shiny 13 stickers prominently displayed and we guarantee a lively conversation about Bat...

By spacepug The Cylon’s Secret by Craig Shaw Gardner is the best of the three, in my opinion.  One of those reasons may be that the story is set in the past, before Adama became Commander of the Battlestar Galactica.   Generally, I’m not a fan of prequels, but in this case, unexplored territory worked in th...

By spacepug Unity is not a very good title for Steven Harper’s Battlestar Galactica novel.  Sure, it is the name of a radical religious group that plays a role in the story, but that one word doesn’t really capture the essence.  The image on the cover does a better selling job, for what is  a pretty excitin...

By spacepug Novel by Peter David.  Review by spacepug. Battlestar Galactica was one of my favourite TV shows.  Laura Roslin was my favourite character on the show.  Peter David is one of my favourite writers.  I should have liked this book much more than I did.

By spacepug by spacepug It was an amazing experience. 110 enthusiastic Battlestar Galactica fans jammed into LaFontana Caffe in Burnaby, chanting “So Say We All” for the benefit of a live television viewing audience across Canada.  I’m proud to say we gave our favourite show the frakkin’ good send-o...

By millari Much like the bigger Cylon alliance seems doomed in Season 4.5, this little alliance of necessity between Gaeta and his Eight now goes downhill, at FTL speed. Webisode 9 premieres at noon Wednesday. It has some serious ground to cover. Hoshi and Racetrack keep knocking, but nobody's home. Bat...

By spacepug Recently, five 13th Colonists got together for our inagural Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game experience. When I originally wrote this review it got a little novel-esque, so I’ve done my best to chop it down a bit. Hopefully, you’ll still understand the gist of the game without begging...
