Default Re: Battlestar Galactica Movie News

Larson and Universal may not like this but I do think the internet is going to
be the "jackal that steals the kill" while they fight over this like a lion and a
leopard fight over a killed gazelle. I myself have a fan story I have been
working on for 32 years that in the right hands can make any small
production company into another Lucasfilm. A highlight description of it is
having the colonial fleet meet a ship of exiles from Earth that was heading for
a place to start over and then the Cylons attack when both parties deal with
broken hearts and dreams. To escape the attack the fleet heads into a
nebula cloud where visibility is extremely poor and loses the Cylon pursuers.
After a few years of wandering in the cloud a preacher in the Earth Party
tells the admiral to stop the fleet or else face destruction. Stepping out on
faith, the admiral stops the fleet and then sees the cloud material blow away
as a supernova blast blows around the fleet and clears the space. Then
scanners pick up a huge cluster of stars with habitable planets and the fleet
heads toward it as the cluster had opened its arms and was saying "Give me
your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breath free . . ." as
the poem goes. The fleet quickly settles down and the population begins to
multiply. Then some people got the idea to rebuild the fleet and faced
opposition initially before getting the effort under way. The Galactica is
then brought into a newly-built orbiting shipyard and was rebuilt using
titanium that was found to be abundant in the cluster. Then in a repeat of
the "leaving drydock" scene in Star Trek, the Galactica pulls out and the crew
begins training exercises as construction of more battlestars begin. Then
discussions began on how to defeat the Cylons when "Asymmetric Warfare"
came up where the colonials do terrorist warfare to "Bermuda Triangle" the
Cylon supply fleets to get more material and get intelligence. When the fleet
gets big enough the President does the "FDR Pearl Harber Speech" as the
next phase of the war of taking on the Cylons head on begins. I also had the
colonials build gunstars that are ships that are 5000' long had having 8 gun
turrets, 4 on top and 4 on the bottom of the ship, with each gun turret
having 3 electromagnetic rail guns (aka: mass drivers) with each gun having
a bore diameter of 1000 inches. The shells the guns fire can weigh 100 tons
each and can be one of three types. One type is to have enough mass to
knock out the shield generators of the Cylon basestars, another type is to
explode inside the basestars to destroy them from the inside out. The third
type is when Cylon raiders come in swarms that number in the millions the
shell type is designed to explode into 100,000 1-pound fragments that
create a cone of death like a shotgun blast to damage, disable or even
destroy the Cylon attackers. Using the new ship types and ships made leaner
and meaner from titanium, the colonials claw their way back using raw
courage and determination and finally defeat the Cylons on their own home
world. From then on it is exploring the galaxy, meeting new characters and
dealing with new enemies like one that is a cross between the Borg and the
Independence Day aliens, making the Cylons look like school project robots.
One of the colonial characters takes vacations on a planet he called
"Middle Earth" since it looked like J.R.R. Tolkien had actually visited the
planet when he wrote his stories. That same character had said he is going
to make evil wish it never messed with him. If you find this story offensive
then you have my apologies but I had used story to deal with and overcome
abuses that I had suffered in parts of my life. If you find this story to have
something worth working on then I can supply more details when asked. I
think stories like this that are incubating on the internet could cause big
production companies to fall and small ones to rise up to greatness. There
is a danger of major media companies buying up production companies and
then only produce shows and movies that lack imagination or new material
to stimulate viewers so they go back to the internet to get the stimulation
they want.
