“Prove It”
To celebrate being the new blogger at watchingbsg.com I went back and watched the pilot last night. Everyone was asleep and a dark quiet house, a glass of red wine, and a few cylons seemed just the way to relax and end the week.
The first spoken words of the pilot are “Are you alive?” and “Prove it.” These two short sentences foreshadow many of the dynamics and plots of the series, as many of BSG’s struggles center around characters quests for proof of identity, proof of loyalty, proof of themselves.
Those two sentences also capture the challenge facing any blogger. Bloggers must prove themselves and face the challenge of making their site worthy of visiting on a regular basis. Is your blog “alive,” is it adding something worth reading to the endless flow of information that saturates our culture and our minds every day? Can you “prove it,” can you make your site a place folks check on and enjoy? This is especially daunting over here at watchingbsg.com, as the show will not be back on the air for six months. But the world of BSG is a rich one, and hopefully I can write some things that prove worthy of reading, thinking about, or commenting on.
Early Morning Thoughts,
