Month: August 2009

Finally, after a nice long wait, it has arrived.  All of Battlestar Galactica on Blu-ray.  Well, almost.  I won’t bother going into detail of what’s here and what’s missing – Bill Hunt does a much better job of that in his official Digital Bits review. 

My only real gripe is the packaging.  It will have to go.  There are a couple of options out there.  One option that is pretty cool is what Bill Hunt came up with.  It certainly fits the show (and cheaper than buying one of the prop binders).  It however doesn’t solve the problem of the show not fitting on the shelf.

The solution I’m leaning towards is going with some nice custom cover art:

The only challenge here is that the 6-disc blue cases are hard to find (currently the only known place to order from is in Australia) but if I can talk a friend into getting me a few it would be worth it.  I love the art style and they would look nice on the shelf and not take up too much room.

All that is somewhat minor, however.  One thing I’ve realized is that I haven’t seen every episode of BSG.  I’m hoping to change that before The Plan hits.  And then Edward James Olmos says The Plan will make you want to go back and watch it all again.  Woah.

Based on my rants below you might wonder if I find the FCC’s interest in the Google Voice/iPhone situation to be interesting.  Why yes – yes I do.  I am downright giddy.  Who would have thought that a government entity so focused on nipples could actually do something useful?
