Battlestar Galactica + New Pornographers: Too much of good things

Posted by Dan December 4th, 2008 at 11:20am In Battlestar Galactica

It’s odd that the fusion of two things I love (or, well, one thing I love and one thing who I think is pretty good), can become such a monstrosity.

I recently came across this fan-made clip of Battlestar Galactica favorite Starbuck acting dramatic to a soundtrack by the New Pornographers. While this must have been a labor of love, it comes across as sentimental and melodramatic.  Like a Freddie Prinze, Jr. movie or one of those Army commercials they show before movies these days.

If these things-I-love-mergers are going to be like this, I guess this doesn’t bode well for my hopes of Jake Gyllenhaal starring in that David Rakoff biopic.  Or chocolate-covered Indian food.  Or a hoodie that dispenses Jack Daniels. Or a half-puppy, half robot.

Actually the robo-puppy sounds incredible (no poop!).
