Battlestar Redactica: I reject your Battlestar and substitute my own!

[beccatoria]

OMG LOOK WHAT I FOUND.

Battlestar Redactica: that fan-edited thing!.

Looks like someone fan-edited 4.5 to get rid of all the stupid bits and save numerous characters, themes and plots from FAIL.

I bet she has waaaay too much time on her hands and not enough common sense... ;)

So I haven't had a lot of sleep lately, and I was all "Hey! Someone had the same idea!" because I am a moron.

I am glad you are working through your pain. It's important to move on. :)

Edited because moving "one" is different from moving "on".

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

Hee! ;)

Moving one is probably also important though it might also depend on which one one is moving... :p

I'm still waiting to see how that whole moving on thing pans out too... ;)

Eeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

It will probably be a few days before I get a chance to sit down and watch, but OMG YAY!!!!! I'm so glad someone took the time to do something like this! :P

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

No problem, I'm sure the mysterious editing individual is perfectly happy to wait for your response and indeed, might actually be thrilled you're so excited!

[coffeejunkii.livejournal.com]

teehee. i expect this to be much better than the original :D

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

To be fair, that would not be hard. :p

Incidentally, Roz's piece about the BSG finale is now up:

[nightxade.livejournal.com]

Hm. There're an awful lot of words there. I think far more than necessary. And poorly edited too. I hate that.

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

An awful lot of big words my simple brain doesn't recognise.

Heh. 'Mysteries are revealed yet remain mysterious.'

THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE! It sounds like something Mohinder would say in a voice over.

[nightxade.livejournal.com]

Yeah there's a whole lot of Deparment of Redundancy Department stuff going on there.

It's a whole lot of verbiosity and poor editing for a very late review. I'm assuming the verbiosity is to make it seem in depth and thereby cover the tardiness. Once you peel away the layers, she's not really saying anything that hasn't already been said by everyone else in far more pithy reviews.

hm. I'm having a good "pithy" week. Think I've used it 2-3 times this week. Excellent.

A Review of The Battlestar Galactica Finale In Four Words By Simon Field:

'It sucked donkey balls.'

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

...that's so weird. Did I not reply to this at the time?

Thanks for the link. She makes some interesting points and obviously I agree with her broad take but I still feel weird about her for reasons I'm sure you recall.

*hugs you*

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

I thought it interesting how some things which make us very unhappy about BSG, were things that people who liked the ending can praise.

... actually I'm quite impressed they found somebody who liked the ending enough to want to write an article about it.

*hugs* Thank you.

ZOMGS!

I bet she's brilliant.

*runs off to download*

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

*hopes you like it!* :D

[emmiere.livejournal.com]

:D

What an amazing idea, I need to go watch and tell this mysterious person how brilliant they are.

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW THE MYSTERIOUS PERSON CAME UP WITH SUCH A NOTION. :p

I hope you enjoy it!

[asta77.livejournal.com]

Wow. Some people just have nothing better to do with there time.

In other news, you amuse me. :)

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

Wow. Some people just have nothing better to do with there time.

FOR REAL. *cries*

In other news, you amuse me. :)

Thank god, I was beginning to suspect I only ever amused myself... :p

[indigo419.livejournal.com]

Whee!! Haven't watched yet, but excited to see what she hath wrought!

(also I am your mystery stalker tweeter follower, by another handle *waves again*

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

HI! Right! I should have worked out who you were! :D

Also, there's no hurry to watch, I'm sure the editor is patient. :)

[whatever-lj.livejournal.com]

Just spent a delightful night reduxing.
The timing is perfect -- it's been long enough so I've forgotten some of my anger. And, watching this, I think, "What was I so keyed up about?"
And I'm glad Hera got to keep her cupcake.

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

YAY FOR CUPCAKES! :D

To be honest, I don't think I'll ever be over how keyed up I was, but then again, I, um, remember more of what this mysterious editor left on the cutting room floor. :p

[frolicndetour.livejournal.com]

WHEEEEEEEE! I am so happy you stumbled upon this!!

And so sad that I am at the climax of end-of-term hell and probably can't watch until Friday. But excited!!!

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

Yay! \o/

I hope Friday lives up to expectations! :D

[nightxade.livejournal.com]

oookay so I'm horribly challenged and don't even know how to play this. All downloaded, but no programs want to play it :(

[nightxade.livejournal.com]

Yay! I figured it out all by myself!

I need a cookie.

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

Yay! *hugs you and gives you a cookie!* It was probably a divx/xvid codec type thing, right? Anyway, I hope you enjoy it whenever you get a chance to watch it! :)

[nightxade.livejournal.com]

Yup. Could hear it and see pretty swirly lines, but not see the actual images. Only scanned the first one. Will watch more this weekend, I think.
