… remains Top Secret. In addition to my earlier hint, I’ll give you two more: it’s made out of ABS plastic and I’ve been going here a lot for inspiration.
It’s frustrating as hell, too. I had to place a few orders here, and the one order I need to get before I can do any more work on it (I needed a bunch of these & these) hasn’t even shipped – the owner of the store was on hurricane relief, but promised he’d have it in the mail tomorrow.
Well, let’s hope. Time’s a wastin’ and I want to be able to reveal this thing no later than three months from now.
I really meant to post a review of the new BSG episode “Fragged” but … what can I say? The show continues to excel. The frantic pacing of the last two episodes drops a bit — Adama’s still out of it and in need of surgery, meanwhile Tigh – faced with the hounding press and an angry Quorum of Twelve – turns back to drinking which leads to him making an ass out of himself in front of, oh, just about everyone. The Marine Corporal got a name, but I don’t remember it – he and Billy conspire to get Roslin some meds. The big shocker is on Kobol — Crashdown, Tyrol, Baltar and the other survivors have to knock out a Cylon missile launcher if they’re going to have any chance of being rescued. Crashdown gets a bit of a big head with his rank and Baltar … well, considering its the first time he’s ever fired a gun … in any case, Baltar’s decision is the right on to make as it enables the stranded team to disable the Cylon missile launcher right as Apollo’s rescue team arrives.
I was exceptionally impressed by how the creators of the show were able to pull off the scene where Chief Tyrol looks at his dinky little 9mm sidearm with an expression that says, “What, this thing?” after a few blindly-fired rounds blows up — and I mean like, fireballs and all — the Cylon sentries. Then he turns around and sees Apollo’s Raptor hovering behind him, smoke rising from its missile tubes. That sort of sequence has been done so often, yet it so clearly worked.
No scenes on Caprica this episode – one wonders if Starbuck and Helo are screwing in the back of her Hummer. Or, doing other things in the back of her hummer. Like hummers. In the back of the Hummer. I doubt it because Helo has fallen for a Cylon — and methink Starbuck don’t be approvin’ — but in any case, I sense a big Caprica storyline fast approaching. The only question is — will the two lost pilots find their way back to the ship, and will they do it before the mid-season break? (Yes, because I found upcoming episode spoilers, you can find them too — use Google).
I also love how the characters can get away with, “Motherfrakker!” and “Frakking piece of frakkin garbage!” and the FCC can’t do jack frakkin’ shit about it.
