Here’s some production material from “Maelstrom.” Most are storyboards depicting Starbuck and Lee flying in the storm cloud. The others are live action shots, shot over greenscreen and before compositing.

We catch up on emails (and even a voice mail), news, and topics that we didn’t have time to cover on the previous podcast. Plus: a technical essay from Dimitry about the possible stellar distance to Earth, and we lay out our plans for the offseason.

It was the usual gang of four: Brian, Dimitry, Jason and Michele.

Lots of links to post this time…

Fanfic links, courtesy Klucky from our forums:

• www.fanfiction.net/l/1960/3/0/1/1/0/0/0/0/0/1/ — this has kind of a rep as being full of crazy teens, but it’s a great place to start off, and it has over 2000 BSG fics and you can sort by characters, rating, length, or genre.
• community.livejournal.com/the_wireless/ — this is a giant round up of all the fics posted to livejournal each week/month. With the title the major characters, pairing and/or rating is usually given.
• community.livejournal.com/bsgficrecs/ — this community recs fics, implying higher quality
• community.livejournal.com/bsg2003fics/ — Last but not least, the end-all beat-all of BSG fanfiction.
