h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi! I just thought i'd drop in and formally introduce myself. My name is lf2871. We seem to bang into each other alot lately, so hi!!

Well hello there! Pull up a something and make yourself comfortable.

lf2871, eh? Interesting name. And yes, we do seem to cross paths frequently. Given that my main reasons for being here at all are Doctor Who and getting stuff into the Edited Guide by fair means or foul, we're likely to do so again.

I'm Gradient. There used to be a really good reason for that name but I've forgotten it now. Anyway, feel free to stop by any time.

your right we boath do talk about Doctor Who alot! Though i guess with good reason.

I liked your comment about the edited guide, made me laugh.

I've forgoten what my name means as well but don't tell anyone, they think theres a conspiricey behind it

lf2871 - hmmm - a conspiracy huh?

Might I suggest the involvement of either the Illuminati (they get blamed for a lot) or the Knights Templar? Both quality institutions who give good conspiracy mileage and also add a touch of class to an ongoing mystery?

I like that!!

Hmmm...so, if anyone asks your name is based on one of the seven great Illuminati codes that was handed down to the Knights Templar in 1123AD that formed the basis of their banking ciphers. The key to the code is known only by the descendants of the Merovingian line, but was hidden in the works of Mozart in musical notation form.

Consequently, playing the notes in the right order gives you the key to unlocking the cipher and revealing your true username and, incidentally, bringing down the entirety of Western civilisation.

'Consequently, playing the notes in the right order gives you the key to unlocking the cipher and revealing your true username and, incidentally, bringing down the entirety of Western civilisation.' - i love that idea, just don't tell anyone!!

Oh, no problem. I mean, even just for posting it I'm being stalked by members of the ancient hashishim who...

ack!...

'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh'

*looks for gradient*

'Where has he gone? What have they done with him!!'

I'm OK!

I fell over my own shoelace and, while I was on the floor, found an intriguing little pavement cafe where I have been discussing the merits of the Proportional Representation system with a man who claimed to be Archduke Ferdinand.

Or at least that's what I remember. Bit of a hazy weekend.

Oh.

Mind if I add you to the dreaded Friends list?

'Bit of a hazy weekend.' - your not kidding are you! I thought the conspiricy theorists had stolen you but at least your al right!

Go ahead, always happy to have another Dr Who fan around the place! i shall add you to mine as well.

You never told me you where a BSG fan! I worship that show!!

Hugely a BSG fan.

It's good on so many levels -
I'm crazy about the production design.
I'm nuts about the casting.
The acting is outstanding.
The story arc, the quality of the writing and the concepts being discussed are awesome.

What's not to like?

I totaly and utterly agree!!! What a heck of a show! I met Katie Saccoff once (you know starbuck) and shes just the nicest person on the planet.

What did you make of the season two finale? Quite a kick in the teeth!!

I haven't seen it yet!

I have DVDs and a weekend ahead. So it's either Friday night or Saturday night viewing.

Katie Saccoff is good stuff. I'd love to meet her, but I know I'd get tongue tied and starstruck. Right now, she's one of my favorite actors (and she's gorgeous too).

Tell me what you think!

Ok so whos your bet on cylons then?

I thought i'd be that way too but shes really sweet and extremly talanted.

Cylons...

we know about Sharon, we know about #6, we know the three male cyclons...

I know there are some we've not met yet. I'm sort of hoping Elen Tigh is one, I'm sure Tom Zarek ISN'T one.

To be honest, if Mrs Tigh turns out to be a Cylon I will be overjoyed. Hate her. Good actress, though. I think Baltar might be a cylon too, although that would suck as he's much more fun as a human.

I'm hoping 'Lay Down Your Burdens' will reveal one, maybe two, more models.

- did I mention #6? That woman is just soooooo good! She's got a great acting range and frankly I could watch her and Baltar all day. I've found myself wondering what someone like Lee would do with his own personal #6. Or what his father might do, for that matter.

Elen Tigh? I'm not so sure, i think she's just manipulative like Zerek, and yeh i hate her too!

Baltar is alot of fun, definatly better if he is a human, more tortured that way . Great charictor though!

'I'm hoping 'Lay Down Your Burdens' will reveal one, maybe two, more models.' - im not saying!!

'I've found myself wondering what someone like Lee would do with his own personal #6. Or what his father might do, for that matter.' - intresting...

OK...saw Lay Down Your Burdens.

Ummm.

One year later??? Zoinks!
