Battlestar Analytica is:
- Analysis: The various aspects of Battlestar Galactica and other creative works, their derivations, et al. are dissected and reviewed with an eye toward:
- Creation: The why, how, and when facets of the show were created, focusing on ideation and execution of:
- Characters: Who are the dramatis personae that drive the story?
- Psychological: Understanding motivations of the dramatis personae of those involved: the why, the wherefores.
- Physical: Costumes, props, set pieces.
- Technology: Used both behind and in front of the camera.
- Archive: The various references used in the site are also archived for future reference, as information tends to get lost among the detritus of the information highway. Digital tumbleweeds and what not.
- Critical Commentary: Criticisms of style, execution, and all things in between and betwixt will be offered.
- The Living Document: This site is unabashedly a work in progress ("WIP"). It will contain issues pertaining to grammer [sic], incomplete information, broken links, etc. As we expand, we undoubtedly will have multiple people contribute, thus adding distinct and disparate voices amongst the fandom diaspora.
Battlestar Analytica is decidedly not:
- About fan fiction or fanwankery. Should you want Battlestar fanwank, you can go here. Fan-dwelled sub-reddits are good for that sort of thing, and its infestation of parasitic ne'er-do-wells are intractable when it comes to logic and congruent sensibilities.
- Interested in how many “pew-pews” a Cylon basestar needs to fight a Star Destroyer from the overrated Star Wars. As George Carlin put it: “It's all bullshit, and it's bad for you…”
- For grifters who use the hackneyed pseudo-disparagement “woke" as rage-bait to drive up their YouTube views and loosen the grip on wallets of those poor, unimportant sods stuck in the past when certain people “knew their place” and “there were only two genders" when “Starbuck was a man.” If that's you, promptly and rapidly frak off.
- Exclusively about Battlestar Galactica, but it is a focus of the site at present.
