For Battlestar (and Sharper Image) fans…

Old school Universal horror for me. Visible cardboard taped to lamps to provide the desired lighting. “We are deep in the Amazon. Oh look, a telephone pole.” I love that B movie stuff.

Since the forums have been basically dead for the past month, I will post about something I have been researching a bit.

So… anybody hear into Mobile Suit GUNDAM?  If so, any advice you want to share with a person just venturing into the franchise.

I should qualify that slightly by saying that I have done a pretty significant amount of research about the different series already and am somewhat familiar. Secondly, as with most Americans I was first introduced to Gundam Wing back in the days it came on Cartoon Network. I was about 10 years old at the time and could only watch at my grandparent’s house, so I watched infrequently and understood little besides giant mech suits with pilots and big guns. I am encouraged to know that Gundam in general is rarely so simple and that it offers both entertainment and thoughtful writing… (generally).

I am most inclined to get back into Gundam Wing as a starting point and branch out from there. I was excited to find this in my searches (http://www.rightstuf.com/site/main/news/individual/FT0000007457.html). Supposedly, this means a releasing of much, if not all, the Gundam animated material over time. I sincerely hope this means remastering, dubbing and repackaging as I have gathered that the American audience in particular has been repeatedly screwed over or shut out by Bandai. I am tempted to wait until stuff starts coming out on Blu-Ray.

That said, please elaborate if you are a fan.

Singer suicide?

did they get embarrased in previous years?

we lost 19 starters after the 98-99 season. so we sucked pretty bad the next few years. but the majority of their jokes were about the trademark “block O” we use as a logo on hats and stuff. my friends favorite term for us was “the zero’s”

Go Clippers! Wait, this is a baseball topic. Guess there’s no room for a fellow Axis and Allies basketball fan.
