Battlestar Galactica Props Are For Sale

will_die writes "The SciFi Channel's Battlestar Galactica will be holding multiple auctions to sell off props and costumes. The first auction will be Jan. 16-18, with a print and online catalogs coming out in December; the second will be in April, catalogs at a future date. The auction site is the Pasadena Convention Center but they will be offering Internet bidding, with live Internet broadcasting, and will handle world-wide shipping at extra cost. These auction are for the key items on the show such as Adama's lighter, Arrow of Athena, and maybe even a Viper. During the final ten weeks of the show they will be holding Internet auctions on items of lesser importance (and price). Until the auction begins, they are highlighting items as they catalog them and posting them on the website where you can subscribe to receive notifications by RSS feed or email. So far the posts have been interesting, with pictures of the items, screenshots of the item in the show, a history of the item, and how it was made."

Yeah, I'm the only one who has thought about Starbuck's undies (prefer re-imagined series, will consider all offers).

BSG got multiple seasons because it wasn't made under contract to a company that hated the show from the very first episode and did their damnedest to kill it.

Tell me, when was the premiere of Firefly shown?
What was the time slot for Firefly?
When were the last two episodes aired? The eps that cost a bucket of money and that pretty much everybody outside FOX and the time and since say are amazing?

All of the above are trick questions. And anybody who knows anything about Firefly understands that they did an astounding thing even lasting as long and telling as complex stories as they did.

Fox never wanted Firefly to be what Whedon wanted it to be. They were fighting from day one.

Oh, and by the way, did you catch the tribute shot to Firefly in the first part of the first ep of BSG? It was there because the BSG production crew was and is well aware that they could never have done BSG without a whole range of techniques and approaches that Firefly did before them.

Howsabout this, you go out, you create, find financing for, and get shot and aired a better show than Firefly. Then you come back and tell us how easy it all is. Until then, bugger off.
