BSG Podcasts: My New Year's Resolution ...

... is even more screenwritery goodness. But hey, I'm still carrying the extra twenty pounds from last year, so my track record's not great.

Even so, our friend Denis reminds us that Ron Moore's Battlestar Galactica podcasts are up on iTunes (also here). Episodic commentary? Spiffy, yes, but even more amazingly, he threw a recorder into the writer's room while they broke the end of Season Two. That shows an enormous amount of trust in both the writers and the audience. Personally, I cannot imagine a recorder in any of my writer's room, primarily because my beloved actors would be distressed at finding out how often they're called "theFUCKINGactors" or alternatively "the camera meat." If you want to write television, this chance to sample the room process -- the most weirdly indescribably element of TV -- is invaluable.

yeah, man...that stuff is gold. Almost as good is the actors' roundtable Moore held in his apartment with Bamber, Callis, Penikett, a guest star, and Mrs. Moore. Interesting for lots of reasons, not the least of which is the level of actory froo-feroo that Callis attains. It'll blow your hair back.

Have a good year, amigo.

Thanks for this. A friend keeps trying to nudge me in the direction of the New Galactica and this has nudged me toward it a little bit.

For the record it’s not that it’s called Battlestar Galactica that stops me. It’s that I --generally-- have an aversion to TV Sci-Fi. I am, however, a politics junkie and political science undergraduate at Aberystyth, here in the UK.

Both 'theFUCKINGactors' and 'the camera meat' should be terms pretty much exclusively reserved for porn.

Although I like them anyway.

Maybe because of, actually.

Dip me, Jesus!

Harries, BG is nothing like any TV Sci-Fi you've ever seen. Its Sci-Fi for adults and I don't mean for manchildren like well, Dr Who to name another popular contemporary SF show (which I like, too). I describe it to people as what a SF show done by HBO would look like. Hell, my parents love the show lol.

Now, now, no need to pick on the good Doctor. As an uncle, I'm thrilled to have a show that I can watch with my niece that both of us love equally.

I shudder at the word 'manchild' -- 'cuz I know exactly what you're talking about -- but still, Russell T. Davies and his gang deserve all the praise they get for bringing my childhood hero back in style.

Daniel,

Yeah, I love commentaries too. In fact, the only other commentaries’ I’ve heard that were this interesting (from a writing viewpoint anyway) were the Writers’ commentaries on the first couple of Shield boxsets.

You’ll have missed the unveiling of the new Interpol building in Aber then? huge, corporate looking and largely glass. Don’t have a single class in it. (another tidbit that makes all the Interpol kids laugh; when they sent out the newsletter announcing it they called it ’The Center For Terrorism’. seriously.)

Aluvius,

Not only is ’manchildren’ a great term, but you convinced me to score a cheap copy of the Miniseries (might as well start at the start, right?) with your ’SF show done by HBO’ line.

Knew the Rodgers’ Blog would cost me money at some point. :)
