MOJO’s The Circuit The Blog: Our finest achievement

Hey everybody, welcome to episode 3, our finest achievement.

This is Kai the show writer that isn’t named Yuri.

Comic-con was an absolute blast. The battle star panel was great and everything but it always strikes me as odd that they trot the actors out there to answer questions from die hard fans. The actors invariably end up saying “um… I don’t really know if they’re a cyclon, but its an honor work with everyone.” Also we should mention that Stan Lee was at that panel to officially announce he will be creating stories for Virgin’s new comics division.

Stan the man seemed pleased with the move and the ability to head hunt the best artists and writers for projects. He also asked the CEO of Virgin Comics (who introduced Mr. Lee) Sharad Devarajan for his very own Virgin private jet. Seems fair.

We got so much good stuff that we feel it behooves us to post a special Comic-Con wrap up video, so look for that in the near future.

As evidence that we really did talk to Orson Scott Card, I got a picture with him.

We both have Goatees!

Here’s a picture of 5 of the 80 hot dog carts that lined up outside the Javitz convention center.

I wanted to talk about the lightning experimentation story for a moment. The scientists were attempting to create plasma filaments to work as a lightning guide. While it appeared the clouds they hit experienced increased electrical activity (which was only slightly better than random chance) it will be a few years and a few more mega-joules of power in a laser before we’ll see a plasma filament strong enough to guide lightning to the ground, or military targets.

The idea of getting a laser to trigger a lightning strike was first conceived of in the 70’s but I guess Deepak can wait a little longer to get his hands on some sweet sweet heaven fire.

Anywho, stay tuned for EP4!

-xoxo
Kai

    I know this is late, but I was at the BSG panel as well and I wanted to express frustration at the stupid questions people asked. You KNOW they can’t tell you what Earth is like or who’s the final Cylon, so why waste everyone’s time?
