One of Ralph McQuarrie's concept designs for the Colonial Viper from the original Battlestar Galactica ended up being used as the starfighter ("Thunderfighter") from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. McQuarrie's concepts are so good even his rejected designs are winners… on Sci-Fi Saturday!!

I'll shoot one back at you for STS---if your books were made into a movie, what would be on the soundtrack? What song plays for the intro, the climax, the end credits, etc?

Hope you have a lovely day also <3

My fantasy stuff would be epic early 2000s orchestral type stuff: Gladiator, LoTR, etc. Growing up on the old sword and sorcery stuff because that's what I had access to has instilled an aesthetic of big sweeping scores with brass and drums and rawr.

The scifi trilogy however, I'd love to get some power metal like Beast in Black. I can see parts of the climactic Siege of Hlóðyn having their titular song 'Beast in Black.' Maybe credits out the series to 'Die by the Blade.' I don't know about the trilogy by the prequel about the Borderwatch Rebellions feels suitable for 'Cry Out for a Hero.' Even if the MC's female and the song gendered male, lol.

Hello ☀️ What is some solarpunk media you'd recommend? Like movies, books, shows etc?

Oooh good stuff!

The hunger games - book particularly- as a teen super good angst and realizing it's v similar to the system we suffer in already is good

V for Vendetta - we all saw my obsession with this as apart of Reaping week. There is something so hopeful about ppl overcoming their deeply religious and fascist country en mass and blowing up their government!

Moxie - I haven't seen the movie, but as someone who was really into Riot grrrls it was awesome to have a book about the movement and how to make zines and have courage in a small town. Here's an example from the earlier half of the book!

Star trek/The Orville- futuristic settings post scarcity and with beautiful diversity and abilities both if these guys are awesome tv shows. Personally I prefer any star trek with Data in it (that's bc I'm autistic tho) season 1, ep 7 of The Orville actually is a very smart and fun episode critiquing modern capitalism and direct democracy

Jericho- there's only 1 season of it before its continued as a comic, but it's a legit post apocalypse about a small town dealing with the fall out of a nuclear explosions across the country. Things like, electricity isn't around anymore and how to reestablish trading posts once the government implodes on itself. Neighbors rationing food for winter, towns swapping food supplies for wind turbines. Awesome stuff!!!

Kipo - again post apocalypse but with music and hope and love! A lot of focus on friendship and building a better more inclusive world.

And then in the fantasy section of books, anything from Discworld or Earthsea!

I of course have more just the top of my head have fun!!!

A few screens from the current video project.

According to some sources, the Battlestar Galactica from the original 1978 series was over 500 years old when the series began. The battlestars served as faster-than-light capable battle cruisers, fighter carriers, and mobile command centers for the fleet of the Twelve Colonies. In addition to the protection provided by its viper squadrons, the Galactica had turbolasers, fusion missiles, and shields. Series creators said the Galactica was about one mile long, and fan estimations based on the scale model put it around 4,741 feet. A big battlestar for a big job… on Sci-Fi Saturday!!
