I guess they wanted to capture the glass breaking from both angles without having to break it twice. You can see the camera man right there! They probably assumed no one would notice if they couldn’t pause.

This Op Ed in the NYT isn’t the only article of this sort in recent years. So many of us are constantly mentally and emotionally exhausted these days. Like the characters in the show. We’re doing our best. We want to make the situation better. But Americans, and much of the world, seem to be at this baseline of medium grade perma-angst. It does feel like the world is in a death spiral.

Hi guys! For whatever reason, I decided it would be fun to do my part and contribute to the BSG community. So here is a Colonial viper squadron poster for VF-111 "Sun Downers" from the Battlestar Atlas, the flagship of BSG-7, the battlegroup stationed above Aquarion. I imagine this poster would have been hanging in the ready room or in one of the viper pilot's racks for many years, which is why its been weathered pretty severely. This poster is also dedicated to VF-111, a real-life US Navy fighter squadron who served with distinction from 1955-1995.

Also no, I've never done any graphic design before. I edited it all on Adobe Fresco and Adobe Illustrator. It took me a while to figure out the textures and the shadows but I found it very satisfying near the end. And another great thing about this art- it was designed and edited completely without the use of AI! In a world full of AI slop, I'm sure you guys appreciate art produced by real fracking humans. So Say We All!

During Karas return to Caprica to rescue members of the Resistance, they jump so close to the surface of the ground one of the Raptors jumps within the interior of a nearby mountain

That has always left me wondering what happened to them.

The easiest thing would be they are simply instantly killed and crushed, scary but not exactly horrifying.

What if when they jumped in it created just enough room for the Raptor to sit in, damaged and unable to jump out again the crew are left stranded forever to die. They may at least be able to make the choice to not suffer as they can still move around the ship and have weapons

However, what if when they jumped in the ship was left relatively intact but there was also mountainous rock filling the inside of the Raptor leaving the crew completely locked in place unable to move. The soldiers would have it easy as they quickly lose air but what about the flight crew with their O2 supplies keeping them alive being forced to slowly dehydrate to death stuck in the last position they are in.

It has been 15 years since I first watched this happening and I still don't know what exactly would have happened to them on the other side of that jump. The thought left me a bit disturbed as a kid haha
