As one unnamed reporter put it, "In the hours immediately following the disaster, millions of people in Thailand, India, Indonesia, Somalia and elsewhere turned their eyes toward America to discover whether the president would rush back to Washington D.C. and empathize with their plight. But Bush stayed in Crawford and made just one official statement, as U.S. military planes surveyed the damaged area and Air Force C-130 cargo planes with humanitarian goods headed for the region. It's as if Bush thinks that action is a substitute for news conferences."

heh. i love [scrappleface.]

gawd, she's posting AGAIN?

yeah. stupid not!fandom.

so i was looking for something after a chat that themonkeycabal and i had in the comments of [this post], and i found myself at Skiffy's BSG site. i know. i *know*. oy. while poking around a pretty but rather lackluster site, i spotted a journal entry from [Richard Hatch.]. it's good. it's insightful and it speaks volumes about the production in general and Richard and creator Ron Moore in particular.

A few weeks later, after having thanked him for his courage to appear at our event [the original series convention], I received an e-mail inviting me to explore the possibility of working with a new series if it were picked up. Oh, boy — now I was extremely conflicted. How does one decide to involve himself in a series one had fought so hard against for several years? The decision to say yes or no in situations like this usually comes down to the caliber and quality of the people involved. I found that in spite of my strong beliefs, I still liked and respected Ron Moore, and found his passion, intelligence and vision compelling.

Richard has a lot to say about his journey to this point, the cast, and acting in general. it's a good read.
