If Battlestar Galactica Merged With South Park …
If South Park did a Battlestar Galactica episode then the result might resemble these intriguing bits of fan art. The two shows have more in common than most people imagine, as they are both the recipient of the prestigious Peabody award and the South Park creators have confessed to being fans of BSG.
My favorite is the Saul Tigh version, which looks just as down as the Saul Tigh of seasons two and three and is holding a beer and some playing cards. While Saul probably thinks beer is for sissies, and the cards on the Galactica are octagons instead of rectangles, it is still pretty cute.
The images were posted by Aphrodite on the Battlestar Zone forums, but some of the drawings feature the tag “BSG-Online, copyright Snake56. Leaving aside the legal issues of whether you can claim a copyright using your fictitious forum name, does anybody know the forums that are referenced here? I have tried several versions of the name, but bsg-online is a business strategy site and those folks don’t seem too interested in Battlestar Galactica.

They’re cute, but “all of this has happened before…”
Remember Babylon Park? Right now I’m looking at my BP buttons pinned to my cube wall–including one of Londo “Cartman” Mollari.
Spoo…the other blue meat

oh no, even worse news for me to read. I hate south park. The writers/creators of it are fans of bsg probably because BSg is better,it doesn’t advocate idiocy nor indulge morons.Even if SP is a reflective of the majority of idiots on the world, you cant deny it encourages that majority to go on believing it’s ignorance as being right.
