Reposting from battlestar_blog because this is pretty amazing. Who cares about Emmys now? lol
A 'Battlestar Galactica' panel discussion at the United Nations
On March 17, there will be a "Battlestar" retrospective at the U.N. in New York and a panel discussion of how the show examined issues such as "human rights, children and armed conflict, terrorism and human rights and reconciliation and dialogue among civilizations and faith," according to Sci Fi.
The "Battlestar" contingent on the panel will consist of executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick, as well as stars Mary McDonnell (who plays president Laura Roslin on the show) and Edward James Olmos (Admiral William Adama).
UN representatives on the panel are Radhika Coomaraswamy, special representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict; Craig Mokhiber, deputy director of the New York office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights; and Robert Orr, assistant secretary-general for policy planning, executive office of the Secretary-General.
The panel will be moderated by "Battlestar" fan Whoopi Goldberg.
The invitation-only panel will take place at 7 p.m. March 17 in the U.N.'s Economic and Social Council Chamber, three days before the Sci Fi show's series finale.
A Sci Fi representative says that the network will record the session and a transcript will be made. "Once the content becomes available, we will let the fans know," the representative said.
Two more BSG links:
- report and videos of the premiere of the Battlestar music ballet in Hagen. It looks and sounds amazing. Diaspora Oratorio never fails to make me cry.
- benelie made "7 reasons to love our BSG boys" picspam (warning: may cause high body temperature)
ETA: New round for the Fandom Steel Cage Match March Madness! Mal lost the last round by FOUR votes. Damn.
My votes:
- Barney Stinson (that guy's awesome, and like I said before, Jon Stewart is NOT fictional, so his presence doesn't make sense in the 1st place)
- Seeley Booth (does House/Hugh Laurie need to win everything? boooooring)
- Ten (see? no revenge from me. Because I loooove Ten even though I voted for Mal last round. And does Spn need to win every internet poll ever? boooooring)
- Veronica, because she's the only female character left! And kicks ass. (ILU Spike, sorry)
