Couple of links

londonkds wrote some excellent American Gothic meta these recent days, on the metaphysics of the show and on Ben Healy. Mmmm, American Gothic.


I rarely read BSG fanfic, but I'm sure there was and is a lot post-Maelstrom fanfiction which has the characters reflecting on Kara Thrace, with Lee, Adama and Sam Anders as the leading suspects. Echoes in Space presents Gaius Baltar and Head!Six reacting to the Maelstrom news. Not only does the way the author uses the s1 developments between Baltar and Kara make the continuity girl in me happy, but she gives us a great example of Gaius' thought process at this (late s3) stage in the show.

Because soundtracks for pairings are fun: sionnain has posted an Emma/Jean fanmix. That would be Emma Frost and Jean Grey, for non-X-men readers.

Because historical partisanship is fun (think of it as the historians' equivalent of the "my show is so much cooler than your show" argument: check out lesbiassparrow's post about the Battle of Marathon (wherein the Athenians beat the Persians), complete with snark against those recent heroes of cinema, the Spartans ("The Spartans didn't turn up for Marathon. They said they were busy celebrating the Carneia. They did show up after the battle and say that the Athenians hadn't done a bad job, which I am sure was very useful and much appreciated.") Her version of the Battle of Marathon if done a la 300 is great fun as well.
