ThinkGeek already has my info as I order from them on occasion, so I signed up when I got their email announcement. I don’t actually watch BSG – I couldn’t even make it through the mini-series I was so bored (please don’t shoot me!), so if I win it some lucky astronomer might just get his wish.

Ah, Battlestar Galactica. No not the modern version, it’s way too ordinary SF. Give me the old one please. I still long for a private fighter to explore space and a personal harmless Cylon (a real one with 70′s vocoder sound!) to carry my books. A computer watch with access to text libraries would be nice too but that isn’t really necessary anymore.

The first series may be a bit dull and overdue nowadays, but the second series is still interesting to watch. The BSG arrived near earth and all kind of missions take place. Incognito. I especially like the episode with crashed cylons in New York at Halloween. Featuring Wolfman Jack and the St Elsewhere actor who voiced KITT.

keep your “online presence minimal”? Google “Phil Plait” and you get 142,000 hits. You have a WIKIPEDIA entry, for Pete’s sake.

Way to keep that online presence minimal. Sorry bub, you’re an online personality. Enjoy it – you rock.

I would hate for a diehard Dr. Who fan to get this….

I rented the movie, and it was just too grim for me.

Good thing you didn’t watch the series, then. The premiere movie was downright lighthearted in comparison.

Your odds of winning are incredibly low, but they’re zero if you don’t try.

Isn’t that what they say about lottery scratchcards?

Darth: Actually, I thought the original series raiders looked more sleek than the new series, not to mention more practical (aside from needing a three-borg crew).

I haven’t followed the new BSG – I rented the movie, and it was just too grim for me. So this is the first look I’ve had at the new Cylon Raider.

Dangnation. That is a SCARY machine. It looks to me very much like an intelligent, malevolent spacecraft should.

Why do most of the aliens have names ending in “on”?
Klingon, Cylon, Vogon, etal.

Nah, I prefer the original Cylon Raider better. None of this fancy sleek stuff, gimme the more clunky dirty used looking stuff. Had more character.

So, you were being sarcastic?

I entered. That puppy is mine.

OK, I’ve done some background research on the competition and it turns out that you all have absolutely no chance of winning it as it’s all a scam. This means that there’s no reason for you to fill out the entry forms, as all it’s going to do is use up bytes that could otherwise have been used for highly important pornog^H^H^H^H^H^Hinformation. Information that could save lives!

So save a life and don’t fill in the entry form. If not for me, then for the bytes!

That is all.

Darn-it! I was going to say “one of five hundred!!!”

Still, would love to have it in my library – next to the Lego Jedi Skyfighter.

Total NERD!!! and proud of it.

Choose Evility!!!!

Dagger, there’s room on the info for Country and province. Don’t let that small problem stop you.

Don’t be fooled! It’s a ploy by the Cylons to woo your vote.

Remember, a vote for anyone other than Tigh is a vote for a Cylon. Um. Oh. Wait.

Personally not a BSG fan, myself. If I win it, you can have it Phil. We can call it even for all the knowledge you’ve shared.

Don’t worry about your personal information, Google already has all of it. Who the hell are you hiding from? A you a terrorist?

I know the type, eh? I think this mail to the authorities of the US may be well put. Better mark it urgent. Damn postal cost for sending mails to the US from Denmark.

Get in line, Plait. I’ve already asked God to pick me as the winner.

Not one of a kind, 1 of 500. They’re only giving away one though;).
