Yup, it's official. I have too much time on my hands.

Having summers off is great. Having summers off while one's car is in the shop... not quite so great. That's the problem with America's suburbs--it's too far to walk anywhere (especially in the kind of weather we're having--ugh).

Anyway. BSG producer David Eick does those videoblogs that include interviews with the actors and so forth. I just watched a bunch of them. Here are three I thought were worthwhile.

What Next? What Now? Callum! Leah Cairns! Alessandro Juliani! They're talking about how they never know what's coming next on the show; it's lots of fun.

Are You Frakkin' Kidding Me? More Callum! James Callis being incredibly amusing about accents! Jamie Bamber using his own accent! Also, it's funny how Michael Hogan's normal speaking voice is actually quite different from Tigh's.

I'm a Frakkin' Cylon! The actors playing the Final Four discuss how they learned their cylon identities (most of them used subterfuge to find out in advance, which is comical), what their reactions were.

None of these have verbal spoilers beyond 4.10, though some of the makeup and costumes show that they were already filming the second half of the season--not very revelatory, in my opinion.

cujoy grabbed some screencaps from the third video. Pics of Trucco and others here.

haha. I love the second video. Everyone is just so cute.

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

They really are! I loved Juliani showing his 'greenscreen' tights on his right leg.

[lunar47.livejournal.com]

haha. I love how he finds out everything in the makeup trailer

[sabaceanbabe.livejournal.com]

And then other actors reference that they found something out about their character in the makeup trailer. :P

The one that's Lucy Lawless having a "breakdown" in her bathrobe is pretty good, too. But then, I love Lucy Lawless like pie.

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

It was a bit too contrived for me, though Lucy was a great sport for going along with it.

"The fans have to hang on to the bitter end..."

Bleah.

Is Angeli wearing Lampkin's sunglasses? Or is it the other way around?

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

I have no idea. I'm not even sure which one is Angeli, so...

[pataka02.livejournal.com]

He's the one in the third video, wearing sunglasses and looking like a vampire. It says his name in the subtitle...


How weird to finally put a face to the name. And a scary face to a scary name in this case.

[sabaceanbabe.livejournal.com]

Alas, it's the other way around. Angeli tries to look like John Lennon as much as he can. *headdesk*

[pataka02.livejournal.com]

As if I needed more reasons to mock him....

sheesh.

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

No kidding. I remember now, I totally blocked him from memory on purpose, because I really didn't want to hear about how picking the Final Five was just random.

Yet another illusion shattered. *sigh*

[pataka02.livejournal.com]

Wait, was he serious????

And yay for your icon!!!!

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

If he wasn't serious, I have no idea why he said it. Either way (serious or joking) I'm quite unimpressed.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

NAMES FROM A HAT. I love being right.

Also, is it wrong that I think Angeli looks like a washed-up Neil Gaiman who got beaten up in rehab?

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

NAMES FROM A HAT. I love being right.

There are times when I *really* wish we didn't get quite so much information from the writers and producers.

The pretentiousness of wearing the glasses indoors is already enough to make me mock him. Y'know, Romo pulled it off with a bit more élan. And ugh, I'm guessing we know the source of inspiration for that little device.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*giggles*

In all honesty, it at least sounds like they discussed the reasons for and against, so it wasn't quite so, ah, arbitrary. BUT STILL.

After Tory crying during sex, I am totally unsurprised. ;)

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

Did Angeli write the sex-crying? Why does this not surprise me AT ALL?! (really, who wouldn't cry...)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Yep. And he did it, because, to quote Rekha Sharma, "he knew someone who did that". Which, ew. But we should all love Rekha for making it about Tory hating Gaius and not, er, his technique.

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing you got to bitter already? *g*

"Your lack of faith is disturbing."

Sorry that I'm giggling at your irate attitude. Don't mind me! Feel free to be bitter!

[pataka02.livejournal.com]

Hehe... you can mock my bitterness. That way I won't take myself so seriously!

Really, I'm just getting annoyed with the whole hiatus thing. Sigh.

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Skiffy is annoying, and I'm glad I have just this show that interests me--I'd hate to be giving them any more revenue.

Weirdly enough (and I'm not the only one with this attitude--at least one other person has expressed it to my knowledge) I'm kind of glad for a break--because it's hard to write anything when the show's actually on air. Heh. Though I'd also like to just get it finished, too.

[nicole-anell.livejournal.com]

James Callis being incredibly amusing about accents!
Have you never seen this? (Same story, just... more adorable.)

And if not, you should probably also check out this one. Bonus points for James' Serious Acting Advice For Jamie at the end. Hee!

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

No, I never had seen the other vid with James telling that story. He's just so cute!

Man, why doesn't my TV boyfriend tell adorable stories? (Frankly I was glad to see Callum being interviewed without freezing up on camera and making everything AWKward--'cause he does that a lot.)
