Attention Patron #1: 
Mr. L.J. Adama, it has come to our attention that you have endangered the life of our subject on multiple occasions (see the following entries under "My Account": Occupation/Precipice, Razor, Maelstrom).  Unless you exercise greater caution, your borrowing privileges will be revoked.  Fortunately, your extraordinary efforts in defense and support of Captain Thrace have so far balanced out your account, and she informs us that you are welcome to continue checking her out.  However, please bear this warning in mind.
Respectfully,
Kara Thrace Honorary Library & Hall of Fame, Librarian-in-Chief.

Lee Adama Honorary Library & Hall of Fame; Records Office



Mr. Aaron Doral,
You are cordially invited to receive a special place in the Lee Adama Hall of Fame in honor of unintentional services rendered.  According to our information (consult the final entry in the Bill Adama "webisodes" of Razor), your commitment to method acting in your undercover role as a public relations consultant led you to arrange for Lee Adama's mandatory attendance at the Galactica decommissioning ceremony.  Without your intervention, our subject would have died in the initial attacks.  We salute you, sir, for finally managing to do one useful thing.  The human race and the viewing public are your beneficiaries, though your fellow Cylons will be less inclined to applaud your initiative.
Cheers, 
Lee Adama Hall of Fame, Librarian-in-Chief.

Who would you like to nominate to their Halls of Fame?  Who deserves membership, who deserves rejection, and who will be getting special privileges?

Enjoy! :)

Hi everyone!  Sorry to be posting this a bit prematurely, but I will be getting up *way* too early tomorrow so I wanted to get the Wednesday entry up now in my less sleep-deprived state :)

I love movies, and sometimes I feel tempted to just plop Lee and Kara down into the middle of a great scene.  It doesn't matter if there's no way it could fit into the BSG universe, sometimes it would just be fun.  Or heartbreaking.  For example:

1) Fun: Jumping the Bus in Speed (1994)



Yes, I admit it.  I want to trap Lee and Kara and some civilians on a bus that's wired to explode if they drop below 55 miles per hour and then watch them jump a highway overpass.  "It might be on an incline.  Floor it!!"  I am not ashamed.  It would be awesome.  Way better than "Sacrifice."  This is the hostage situation I want for them :)

2) Heartbreaking: Trapped Together in The Abyss (1989)



I'm not sure how many of you will have seen this (it was the disaster-in-the-cruel-sea love story movie that James Cameron made *before* Titanic), but the situation is this: an estranged husband and wife, both amazing and tough as nails, wind up trapped out of range of their deep-sea home base in a small ship quickly filling with freezing water.  There is only one life suit.  The ex-wife comes up with a truly harrowing, out-of-the-box plan that might give them both a chance to survive.  The crisis and its aftermath are heartbreaking and heartwarming to watch; it's one of the most intense, traumatic, moving portrayals of love in the face of death that I've seen on film.  I want to put Kara and Lee through this exact drowning scenario, from the moment it starts to the moment it ends.  You wouldn't have to change a word of dialogue, it's perfectly them.

What movie scene would you like to drop Kara and Lee into?  Would you like to watch them swordfight in The Princess Bride?  Kiss passionately in front of the blazing horizon in Gone With the Wind?  Fly together over Metropolis in Superman?  The sky's the limit!
