Final(e) post on BSG (unless forced to respond 😉 posted yesterday but didn’t go thru:
BSG finale revisioning: Galactica jumps near the Base. All hell ensues. Anders screws up the Base’s defense (nice echo to episode 1, cylons screwed up the colonies’ defense computers.) A crack team moves in to rescue Hera. The entire Opera house sequence plays out in the Basestar. Hera rescued by Caprica/Baltar, escape. Much fighting, CGI effects. Galactica begins to disintegrate. Adama realizes suicide action needed. Anders can do a [whatever] jump INTO the Basestar to destroy it, but needs help maintaining his bodily fluids. Roslyn volunteers to help Adama and some others to execute jump. Two raptors are launched to collect Hera and rescuers. As they reach the raptors, Helo is killed. Athena, piloting Viper, mad with grief, rams a cylon ship (dies). Galactica jumps/raptors jump simultaneously back to fleet, with Lee, Hera, Baltar, Caprica the only majors surviving. Hera uses her vision to find Earth II. Hera tells B/C she is “their child,” thereby fulfilling another plot point from waaay back. All populate Atlantis so as to not pollute the natives.
Arkady, that’s funny…both posted the same article at the same time.
Thanks! I’m definitely going to check out the bridges mentioned. While they’re not the best looking, alot of them are truss bridges which I’m really into right now.
Way down towards the bottom of the piece – I thought of you as I read it. He has a blog – unrelated to bridges but I bet you could ask him where he got the figure.
I made a mistake:
There are 2,027 bridges throughout this extraordinary city, but I owe my renewal to 15 of them and, in particular, to the beauty that sparked it all.
“Did you see the piece in the Times? Over 1000 bridges to walk over in NYC!”
NO!! Will search for it now. If you know the link, please post it.
I was driving on the Harlem River Drive and FDR on Saturday and noticed that in the 140’s – 115th streets, there were at least three bridges that were walkable.
I’m excited.
BRG: The Dept. of Transportation has a full page of bridge info, including many sublinks: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/bridges/bridges.shtml
“So the new people that have moved into Williamsburg are racist??? Not surprising.”
Sweet gross overgeneralization!
I’ve been called racial slurs by people while in Crown Heights and Bed Stuy a couple of times, does that make the old timers there racist?

“Happy” ending!

Arkady, is this the article you’re referring to? I can’t find any other article.

But it doesn’t mention 1000 bridges to walk over in NYC 🙁

Here’s the link, though.

Rob, that is the perfect reason to watch it online for free. That way it costs you nothing and if you hate it, you’ve saved 10 bucks 🙂
