NEW BSG MOTTO
__________________
Coming together is a beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.
The above motto was a Henry Ford quote. He also said, "I'll belt the Earth with dependable motor cars!" Using the formula within that quote, that's exactly what he did. That's how we know it can work for us.
COMING TOGETHER IS A BEGINNING
The webmaster at bsg.com has an idea to unite all BSG sites that are interested in a continuation, however large or small those sites may be. http://www.battlestargalactica.com is inviting all owners and webmasters to be a part of a massive movement of unification so we may achieve the desired end of influencing TPTB to make a continuation movie using as much of the original cast as possible. If your site is small, without a chatroom, you'll have access to the chatroom and forums at bsg.com. If you already have a chatroom you'll still be able to meet others here. You'll have your own Forum and will be able to move freely from your site to battlestargalactica.com. We're uniting all sites friendly to a continuation; that includes artist's sites, fanfic and actor's sites as well.
We often refer to ourselves as the RagTag Fleet. We've been on our own journey for a number of years trying to bring back The Show With Great Possibilies. There's been much sporadic activity, even more discussion and a lot of frustration regarding what to do to achieve that end, but never have we been the force that we 'can' be once we have formed a united front.
KEEPING TOGETHER IS PROGRESS
Now that we've become united as one large world-wide assemblage we should turn our attention to positive efforts within the group to stay on course. This is a "must" if part three is to be accomplished. In the group that we have become in this unification, there should be many ideas offered on how best to maintain our band of Warriors and ways to communicate with each other instantly. Not the least is the forming of new friendships with fans that we may one day meet at a Con or a Movie Premiere. In this part of the Motto the positive should be emphasized. Simply put, that means there are others who will want to see a movie a bit differently from what you want. That's okay. We can't actually dictate to Glen Larson exactly what he should do regarding content - where he takes the story. We all want a continuation with some of the original cast; on that we can agree. That allows each one to hold to his/her dream of what they hope to see when they go running to the theater to view the new movie. Keeping together as a consolidated group will enable us to move to the next step.
WORKING TOGETHER IS SUCCESS
Uniting our efforts to influence TPTB to make a Continuation Movie with the original cast is our goal. We can now have letter campaigns, talk to our local newspapers, send emails, whatever we feel is important or necessary, and we can do it as one body. One movement. All the continuation-friendly fans from bsg sites will have an impact that cannot be ignored. This is our objective.
It may be that such a movie could not have been made before this time because of the problems wracking Universal. Also, Glen Larson may have become more amenable to making a movie at this time because of what the SciFi Channel has done to his baby. Now is the time to focus our attention solely on Mr. Larson and the movie. We will give him our encouragement and support; we will allow him the freedom to make his own choices as to Producers and Writers without bashing those choices. However, if you have a choice of your own, letting him know who you think would be terrific, and why, is your call. Working together means working with all aspects of fandom, the artists, actors, the production team, the studio. One body. One movement. One goal.
This is where we start: Owners and webmasters please contact Darrell Lawrence, webmaster@battlestargalactica.com. The site is still undergoing changes but the Unification has begun.
