BSG: Daybreak Motivational Posters

[beccatoria]

Okay so this week I've been totally without work which is irritating since I went through such angst to clarify my damn hours (I'm supposed to have three days a week), but they're shifting me between projects and the new one was supposed to be kicking off Wednesday except apparently not so I'm stuck with no work 'til Monday. Which isn't exactly horrific except I'm broke and could have done with the cash and am now in a weird interim am-I-on-the-dole-or-aren't-I? situation. But whatever...y'all aren't exactly interested in that.

What y'all are probably interested in is the fact that, driven by boredom, and the inability of my mind to quite comprehend the hilarious fail of the post-Earthfall Daybreak stuff, I have responded in the only sane way I can think of.














Yay!

Honestly I feel a little mean about the Leetopia one and the Agriculture one because everyone seems to agree that Farmer!Gaius was the most moving thing in the episode, and I'm one of three people on the internet who really didn't see Lee's ending as a total tragedy. I mean, the part where he got far more idealistic than smart and threw everything INTO THE SUN was a tragedy, sure. But look at him in that field! He's so happy! And kind of...free. Looking forward. Sure it would have been nice if that had happened with a metaphorical moving away from Kara and his Dad rather than them turning into invisible pigeons and necrophiliac hermits, but whatever, I WANTED TO HUGGLE HIM.

Ahem.

Redacted.

Oh, those are so wrong!!! And also hilarious!

I wonder if there's some way you can mask things to make it look like, say, Kara and Sam or Helo and Athena or Dee and Gaeta walk by while head!Six and head!Baltar are reading over RDM's shoulder... Or maybe have Tyrol behind him, rolling his eyes. :P

LOL! You've outdone yourself - I was laughing so hard I almost choked on my lunch. Oh, my.

Dialysis machines -- lol, lol, lol -- probably would have -- lol, lol... I can't type -- too funny, too funny -- my stomach hurts....

THESE ARE SUCH FUN! THANKS!

I liked Gaius' ending and Lee's on a character level. I liked the Dancing robots separately from BSG. I adore dancing robots in general. That's my fake prodcution company name, The Dancing Robot Cliche.

FAT BABY NICKY IZ DED.

Oh my God, I'm at work, for Pete's sake. I am not allowed to die of laughter or people will figure out that I'm not really working.

I am a little disappointed that there isn't an Agathons-related one. Much as I adore the characters, I think the Athena killing Boomer than and the Hera as Mitochondrial Eve thing are both RIPE for skewering.

Firstly, I LOL'ed at Leetopia!
Secondly, re: scary robotz, you should TOTALLY pull footage from TSCC! Like the robot with a face that Cameron sees, and the chess playing ones, and John Henry! XOVER FTW.

*DIES*

I'm laughing, but why do I feel like crying? ;)

Oh NICKY. :( Saaam!

I do like to imagine Lee got his happy-ish ending eventually. If I forget that he killed Nicky and Sam!! I do think that's what they were going for; it just came off really weird for him to be happy at that moment. Like so much else in the finale. *sigh* I really think this is our fandom's Breaking Dawn. :P

*dies* These are hilariously snarky. Good stuff.

Disability Discrimination

O_o

OMG! They failed at something else!

The second one? You've summed up one of my disbelieving "HOLY FRAK, YOU'VE DOOMED THEM ALL!" responses to the finale. The entire set is wonderful, though!

THIS, lady. This.

And your macros are awesome as always.

Final scene... honestly it just bugs me that robots/technology was the sole focus of danger and oh noes. It might've been more worthwhile to get some footage in there of, you know, WAR and stuff. Not that it would make it any less cutesy and didactic, but at least it'd be didactic about the right thing.

I fully support you still ending it with the headpeople in New York, by the way.

Here via friendsfriends...these are gorgeous! Thanks for posting.

[redbrickrose.livejournal.com]

These posters are awesome.

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! I want to walk around the world wearing a big sandwich board with AFRICA and DIALYSIS MACHINES.

and also I'M BACK TODAY. at least a little. GEEZ. so I will be reading your revision emails and you should flag me down if want to talk BSR.

you might be able to find some footage of scary military robots in the Prelinger archive? not so much contemporary stuff probably but there are some futurist gems. I'm curious what the movie is...

[rebelliousrose.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, these are brilliant. Can you do more?

Not sure if this would be what you're looking for but...

These are so amazingly awesome!

I have a favor to ask!

I am doing a panel on disability in BSG at WisCon. I wonder, could I borrow your macros on dialysis and disability discrimination--either the macros themselves, or the ideas--with credit, for the panel? I'm not sure if they would go over well or not but oh they would be so funny to have up my sleeve.

If you'd rather not, it's OK to say no, or just ignore this comment. :)
