BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (TV MOVIE)

Below is an excerpt from GALACTICA SITREP regarding the BSG TV Movie. I hope that (what I highlighted in bold below) means that Tyrol will be in the BSG tv movie. Fingers crossed.

Our sources indicate that in fact the first telemovie will focus mainly on three characters (think Cylons) and offers are on the table for those actors currently. Additional co-stars will depend on various actors availability. (As we’ve reported many are joining other series that are likely to be in production when the BSG film is being shot.) It’s expected that Edward James Olmos will appear in the film, since he’s also slated to direct it. SyFy Portal recently noted that David Weddle and Bradley Thompson were expected to write the film, however circumstances could change, especially if the current talks between SAG and the AMPTP over the new actors contract were to break down:

If a movie does come into being, the first one will be penned by Weddle and Thompson, who also [wrote] the mid-season premiere [Sometimes A Great Notion] that airs in early 2009.

“It would go back into history to tell part of the story that has never been told,” Weddle said [of the telemovie]. “We have very definite ideas of what that story would be. I think it will be very cool and fans will really like it. It won’t add any new chapters, but it will enrich their sense of depth and texture.”

CONVENTION CANCELLATION: The Wrath of Con 2008

I just received an email from Aaron to say that both he and Tahmoh will not be attending The Wrath of Con event this weekend.
Below is a copy and paste of Aaron’s message …..

I cancelled wrath. I have to work, as does tahmoh. We agreed to wrath before there was a strike & we thought there would be no problem as the show would be done in March. we are in the last days of shooting & they are not officially clearing anyone for anything. I would have loved to go & my apologies to all the fans who were hoping to see me on the weekend.

Brad Paisley – 43rd Annual Academy Of Country Music Awards

I hope you’ll forgive this semi-related Aaron post. But anyone that is a friend of Aaron’s is a friend of ours, right? :)

This weekend Aaron was in Las Vegas to support his friend Brad Paisley at the 43rd Annual Academy Of Country Music Awards. Congratulations to Brad on winning the following two awards …..

TOP MALE VOCALIST
– Rodney Atkins
– Kenny Chesney
Brad Paisley
– George Strait
– Keith Urban

VIDEO OF THE YEAR [Award to Producer(s)/Director(s)/Artist(s)]
– Don’t Blink – Kenny Chesney
– Lost In This Moment – Big & Rich
Online – Brad Paisley (Producer: Mark Kalbfeld and Peter Tilden / Director: Jason Alexander)
– Stay – Sugarland
– Watching You – Rodney Atkins

If you get a chance, check out the music video for ONLINE. It stars Jason Alexander (George Costanza on Seinfeld) as the “geek”. His parents are played by William Shatner and Estelle Harris (who played George’s Mom on Seinfeld). Patrick Warburton has a cameo as a car dealer. And Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady on The Brady Bunch) plays the next door neighbor.

If you think Brad looks familiar, it’s because you would have seen him in a recent David Eick video blog (Space Cowboys) with Aaron.

 

UPDATE: To keep this post on topic … look what I just found on Flickr. Someone took photos on their iPhone of Aaron checking into the hotel in Vegas.

BLOOD: A BUTCHER’S TALE: New Website

There is a new official website for Aaron’s movie Blood: A Butcher’s Tale. The only difference to the website (besides a new layout) is …….

 

Graphic Novel

http://www.blood-themovie.com/media/Blood_graphic_novel.pdf

The above link is for part one of the comic book which is based on the film. If you do not want to spoil yourself on the film, do not read it. I read the movie script back in May of 2007 and really regret doing so. But for those of you that want to see what comic book “Sam the Butcher” looks like (which looks NOTHING like Aaron), here’s some screen caps with the dialogue removed.

 

Cannes Press Kit

http://www.blood-themovie.com/media/print_press_kit.pdf

“Pacific Gold Entertainment is showcasing their new upcoming film Blood: A Butcher’s Tale at the Cannes Film Festival from May 14-25, 2008.”

 

Blood: Butcher’s Block (Video Game)

http://www.blood-themovie.com/game.php?page=info

Don’t really care about the game because Aaron’s not in it.
But I think I recall him saying that he might do some voice work on it (????).

SMALLVILLE: Official Magazine

The latest issue of the Official Smallville Magazine (Issue 26) has an interview with Aaron in it.

Justin Hartley Interview: When OLIVER QUEEN first appeared in Smallville, he and his alter ego – the Green Arrow – soon shot their way into fans’ hearts. Smallville Magazine talks to the Emerald Archer himself, Justin Hartley, who tells us about being hit by Cupid’s arrow with BLACK CANARY, Oliver’s rivalry with LEX LUTHOR, and why he said no to fighting in a towel! Plus, we chat to guest star Aaron Douglas – after passing through in season one’s “Obscura”, the Battlestar Galactica actor revisits Smallville as Deputy Michael Birtigo in “Traveler”.

Source: Titan Magazines

NOTE: They screwed up that description. Aaron played Pierce in Traveler. Deputy Michael Birdego (correct spelling of surname) was his character in 1×20: Obscura.

 

I’ve ordered a copy of the magazine off ebay but it will take awhile to get to Australia from the USA. Once it arrives, I’ll scan the article and post it on here. But if anyone has a copy of the magazine (or can pick up a copy) and can scan it, that would be much appreciated.

Chief Tyrol Dog Tags

The wait is finally over. The set of 7 BSG character dog tags that I pre-ordered (and paid for) in Dec 2006, arrived today.

The photo on the left was taken by Aaron of the Chief’s actual dog tags.
The photo on the right is of the QMX dog tags.

They’re not perfect. The font is wrong (look at the number 9). And you can’t tell from the photo on the right (because of the camera flash) but the dog tags are VERY dark in colour. And the chain is wayyyyyyyy too long but that can easily be fixed. Do you think Aaron will suggest I be committed if I ask him to count the beads on his dog tags so I can make mine the same length? :)

But they are the best replica dog tags that I’ve seen so far. Can’t complain when they cost less than USD$20. They are much better than those awful shiny dog tags that QMX are selling for USD$49.95 (see image below) and all the other fan made Chief Tyrol dog tags that I’ve purchased off ebay in the past.

 

Below is a scan of the Chief Tyrol ‘character biography card’ that came with the dog tags.

Aaron will never say FRAK on BSG (???)

Below is excerpt from the wired.com article about S4 of BSG. According to them, Aaron has said he will never say FRAK on BSG …

Frak is back, big time
Characters spew BSG’s signature F word four times in the season opener’s first three minutes. But don’t expect the Chief to use the expletive any time soon. Aaron Douglas, the actor who plays Chief Petty Officer Galen Tyrol, told Wired.com that he vows never to utter frak on camera. Too bad he’s used it at home: While taking pots out of a kitchen cabinet, Douglas says, some kitchenware fell directly on his foot. Gut reaction? “Frak!”

Source: Cylon Mania Blazes Back in ‘Battlestar Galactica’

Is that true? I know the Chief has said frakking, mother-frakker, frak wit. But has the Chief never said frak? Really? Hmmmm, I think this needs a little investigating. Off to rewatch scenes of the Chief.

 

EDIT: Here’s all the mentions of frak-isms by the Chief. I stopped checking once I found an actual frak.

1×07: Six Degrees of Separation – “Frak it” [Note: He was mumbling it. So I’ll let him get away with that one]
2×01: Scattered – “That’s it. That’s it, you stupid, frakked-up crap!”
2×02: Valley of Darkness – “Mother-frakker”
2×08: Final Cut – “You know what? Frak the camera. You’ve been riding by crews ass for no frakking reason”
2×09: Flight of the Phoenix – “Did she fill you in on the rest of the plan? She and I were going to muster out at the end of our service. You know, then we would get married. Maybe we would have children. I guess I’m just a big frakkin’ idiot, though, huh? Probably that goddamn toaster’s plan all along”
2×09: Flight of the Phoenix – “(in his head) Frak it. Why not?”

And from tonight’s episode …
4×01: He That Believeth In Me – “Get the frak in there, go kill something”
4×01: He That Believeth In Me – “Anders! Get the frak in your Viper!”

 

EDIT (2): In Aaron’s defence (because I asked him about this) He said that he gave them that quote back in season one. And as you can see, he never said it in season one. Aaron FTW :)

The QMX website still has them listed as AVAILABILITY – TBA. The majority of websites are selling them as a set of 7 on pre-order for around USD$104. The only place I’ve found them for sale individually is at Battlestar Online and Forbidden Planet.

Sci Fi Channel 2008 Upfront (Wired.com)

Wired has posted an article and photo from the recent Sci Fi Channel 2008 Upfront event in NYC.

Aaron gets a few mentions in the article ……..

* Aaron Douglas (the Chief) said he made a conscious decision this season to play his character differently when he’s in cylon mode. He’s curious to see if it works on screen.

* Douglas said he hated discovering he was a cylon, especially since he found out by accident three months before he was supposed to. “I was over at ‘someone’s’ house and saw some papers lying around: ‘Oooh outlines for — I gotta go to the bathroom!’ I locked myself in the bathroom and was looking for my material and suddenly, ‘WHAT!?!'” He had to keep the revelation a secret for three months, but he would occasionally go up to Moore and Eick and ask, “So, anything going on with the Chief?”

* When someone from the audience asked Mary McDonnell, who plays President Roslin, if Barack Obama had approached her to be his running mate, she replied that Hillary had. At which point Douglas quipped: “Hillary’s the final cylon.” Badabum!

DAVID LETTERMAN: Airs tonight (March 19, 2008)

Just a reminder that Aaron (along with nine other BSG cast members) will be appearing on tonight’s episode of the Late Show With David Letterman to read the Top 10 List. The episode airs on Wednesday, March 19th, 2008 at 11:35 p.m. ET/PT in the USA.

Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackhoff, Jamie Bamber, Michael Hogan,
Tricia Helfer, Grace Park, James Callis, Lucy Lawless and Aaron Douglas

 

Maureen Ryan from the Chicago Tribune has posted a sneak peak at what the Top Ten will be.

 

Top Ten Reasons To Watch The New Season Of “Battlestar Galactica”

10. Chief Petty Officer Tyrol (Aaron Douglas): In the dramatic season opening episode, we save 15% by switching our insurance to Geico.
9. D’Anna Biers (Lucy Lawless): You’ll find out what’s in the hatch and who gets off the island – crap, wrong show.
8. Dr. Baltar (James Callis): My character creates his own line of “honey roasted space nuts.”
7. Lieutenant Sharon Valerii (Grace Park): What else are you going to do, read a book?
6. Number Six (Tricia Helfer): There’s a good chance you’ll get to see me naked.
5. Colonel Saul Tigh (Michael Hogan): There’s a good chance you’ll see me naked.
4. Captain Lee Adama (Jamie Bamber): New FTL drives will allow the colonial fleet to better adjust to gravitational variations and achieve maximum superluminal travel to outrun the pursuing cylon basestars – I don’t know what the hell I’m talking about.
3. Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff): We engage in a life-and-death battle against evil robots… you know, same **** as last year.
2. President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell): I take on the most challenging task of my political career – doing a lame top ten list on a third-rate talk show.
1. Admiral William Adama (Edward James Olmos): Watch me lead us into war against the Cylons without an exit strategy.

 

UPDATE: The video is now up on the Late Show website.

SMALLVILLE: Trailer (????)

Just a reminder that Aaron’s episode of SMALLVILLE (7×14: Traveler) is airing next Thursday (March 20th) in the USA.

Do they have those “next time on Smallville” commercials at the end of the episode? If they do, can someone please watch the end of tonight’s Smallville episode and see if Aaron is in the trailer for next weeks episode? The only reason I ask is because I don’t live in the USA. Otherwise I’d watch for it myself.

FOREST ETHICS: Campaign to stop junk mail

You may remember the GOT WOOD? t-shirt (by forestethics.org) that Aaron wore at DragonCon 2007. Forest Ethics has launched a ‘Do Not Mail’ Campaign to Stop Junk Mail. Aaron along with some other celebrities and nearly 20,000 people have signed the petition. Read more HERE.

Support a Do Not Mail Registry
Just as the Do Not Call Registry freed Americans from telemarketers, a Do Not Mail Registry would give us the choice to stop junk mailers from violating our privacy, wasting our time and damaging the environment. http://www.donotmail.org

Aaron to appear on Late Show With David Letterman (March 19, 2008)

It’s been previously reported that EJO, Jamie Bamber and James Callis will be appearing on Letterman on March 19th to read The Top Ten list.

I’m just watching a video of Aaron’s Q&A at the Dallas All-Con convention last weekend (that lucky63 recorded) and he said …..

“They’re taking the top ten cast to New York in a week and a half to do David Letterman. So we’re all going to be on Letterman. I think it airs the 19th. We’re doing the top ten list. The top ten reasons to watch Battlestar Galactica. Which is very cool. And they’re going to write something for me. But I’m not going to say it. I’m going to say something else [crowd laughs] And then I’ll never do Letterman again. No. I’m just kidding. I’ll say whatever they want”.

OMG!!!!! Aaron is going to be on Letterman!!!!!!

 

UPDATE: The below info is from SciFi Wire (Thanks to greycoupon for the link).

SMALLVILLE: Promo Photos & Episode Description

The Smallville at KryptonSite website has posted some promo photos from Aaron’s upcoming episode of Smallville. Below is the blurb about the photos on their website …….

Even More “Traveler” Preview Images!
The CW has released over a dozen new preview images from the March 20 episode of Smallville.

The new images feature Tom Welling, Kristin Kreuk, Allison Mack, Laura Vandervoort, John Glover, and guest star Gina Holden.

Take a look at the new pics – Spoiler Warning!

Even though Aaron’s name is not mentioned in the above list of actors, you can’t fool me :)

This is obviously the back of Aaron’s head ……

That is Aaron behind Lionel Luther …….

And judging from the clothes Aaron is wearing in the above photos, I’m guessing that this is him pointing the gun at Lionel ……


EDIT: The Smallville at KryptonSite website has also posted the CW’s official description of this episode …..

LIONEL KIDNAPS CLARK — Lionel (John Glover) arranges to have Clark (Tom Welling) kidnapped and held in a kryptonite-lined cell at a Luthorcorp facility.

Tyrol, Tory and Ted Bundy

The movie THE STRANGER BESIDE ME was just playing on the tv as the day time movie. I have it seen it before so I just had it on as background noise and looked up when I heard Aaron’s voice and started watching. And LOL, who is he questioning in the witness stand? It’s Rekha Sharma who plays Tory (Roslin’s assistant) on BSG.

The last time I saw this move was a couple of years ago when I edited Aaron’s scenes to put it up on the website. And obviously back then I wouldn’t have realised who the actress was.

Here’s the video clip of Aaron’s scenes from the movie.

Pic Spam – Aaron doing the ROCK ON hand gesture

I’ve put these photos in date order and as you can see, he didn’t start doing this hand gesture until ANTHRAX’s visit to the BSG set in August 2006 :)

NOTE: He’s actually doing the Shaka (a Hawaiian hand sign. Also means”hang loose”) in the 3rd photo. But I love that photo (it’s currently the wallpaper on my cell phone) so I had to include it.

Pencils2MediaMoguls: Hockey game tonight

As you may recall, the Pencils2MediaMoguls winners were announced awhile back. Tonight Aaron is taking the winner (Gregory Rosychuk) to the Canucks game in Vancouver. Oilers vs Canucks. Game starts at 7pm. GO CANCUKS!!!!!!

Aaron is also bringing along his friend Colin Corrigan to the game. Colin plays Nowart (a Marine) on BSG. You may remember him from the episode 3×14: The Woman King. He was in the scene where Helo was trying to remove Dualla from the sick bay area and Dr Roberts calls for the guards. And then Tigh and Doc Cottle show up.

UPDATE: The Canucks won!!!!!
Final score – Oilers 2 / Canucks 4

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: Two Specials airing March 28, 2008

As everyone already knows, season 4 of Battlestar Galactica returns on April 4th and the Sci Fi channel will air two specials (Battlestar Galactica: Revisited and Battlestar Galactica: The Phenomenon) on March 28th.

I was just reading Sci Fi’s press release for the specials (thanks GALACTICA SITREP) and look who is going to be in the second special, it’s Brad Paisley. Some of you may remember that Aaron and Brad are very good friends. I wonder if Brad will mention Aaron during his interview.

‘BATTLESTAR’ IS BACK
SCI FI’s Emmy and Peabody-Winning Series Returns March 28 With Two Back-To-Back Half-Hour Specials

New York,NY – February 8, 2008 – The wait is finally over for Battlestar Galactica fans. SCI FI’s Emmy and Peabody Award-winning original series returns for its fourth original season on Friday, March 28 @ 10pm ET/PT with two back-to-back half-hour specials. The first new episode will premiere the following week, Friday, April 4 @ 10pm ET/PT.

Battlestar Galactica: Revisited (10pm) will serve up the essential information on the series’ past three seasons, providing the uninitiated with an introduction to the characters, relationships and spine-tingling drama that have captured the imagination of audiences around the world. Galactica’s executive producers, Ronald D. Moore and David Eick serve as guides, providing insights and revelations about the critically-acclaimed series.

Battlestar Galactica: The Phenomenon (10:30pm) is a celebrity-studded celebration of the show’s impact on pop culture. Interviewees, including Seth Green, country music’s Top Male Vocalist of 2007 Brad Paisley, and Talk Soup’s Joel McHale, and others, wax poetic about why Battlestar Galactica is one of the best frakkin’ shows on television.

As season 4 opens, the last remnants of humanity continue their search for a new home, the thin line that separates them from the rapidly evolving Cylons is being redrawn. Galactica’s crew, rocked by Starbuck’s sudden and mysterious return from the dead – and her claims that she has been to Earth and can lead them there – attempts to make sense of the inexplicable. Meanwhile, four members of the fleet are still reeling from the revelation that they are Cylons and have been all along.

Battlestar Galactica is the gripping saga of humanity’s last remnants and their struggle to find a new home while fleeing from their deadly Cylon enemies. Redefining the space opera with its gritty realism, Galactica’s intensity, issues-driven topicality, and command performances have garnered it numerous awards, including an Emmy and the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award. The show was recognized by the American Film Institute (AFI) as one of the most outstanding programs of the year two years running. The series is from Universal Media Studios and is executive produced by Ronald D. Moore and David Eick. The outstanding ensemble cast is led by Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackhoff, Jamie Bamber, James Callis, Tricia Helfer and Grace Park.

As previously reported, Aaron will be guest staring in an upcoming episode of SMALLVILLE. Aaron has just confirmed with me that he will be playing Pierce in the episode 7×14: Traveler.

The following is from the spoilers page for that episode on the Smallville at KryptonSite website.

UPDATED 11/22/07 (Thanks S.A.M.!): “Traveler” is about Patricia Swann, daughter of Dr. Swann and a childhood friend of Lex’s. Swann and Lionel were part of a group who were waiting for the arrival of an extra-terrestrial “traveler”. Patricia wants to stay in touch with Clark because she believes he can do good for the world. – Another character currently being cast is “Pierce,” who fears aliens, and kidnaps Clark and keeps him in a specially built prison.

UPDATED 12/23/07: Aaron Douglas of Battlestar Galactica fame has booked a guest role on Smallville, which we are assuming is the role of the previously-mentioned “Pierce.” Douglas has actually appeared on Smallville before, in the first season episode “Obscura.”

THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL: Character name

As previously reported, Aaron has a role as a solider on the movie remake of the 1951 classic sci-fi film THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL starring Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly.

Aaron’s character in the movie is Sgt. Winter.

SMALLVILLE: Aaron to guest star

Aaron has landed a guest starring role on SMALLVILLE. As some of you may remember, he has already appeared on an episode of Smallville before as a police officer in the episode 1×20: Obscura that aired in May 2002. (screen caps HERE and video clip HERE). But this time he will be playing the super villain of the episode. Once I find out which episode it is, I’ll let everyone know.

THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL

Aaron has booked a small role as a solider on THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL which is a remake of the 1951 classic sci-fi film about an alien visitor and his giant robot counterpart who visit Earth with a message for all humans: live in peace or be destroyed. The film stars Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly. Filming started today in Vancouver. Aaron is working on Monday and again in January.

The above images are from the original 1951 version of The Day the Earth Stood Still

CONVENTION APPEARANCE: The Wrath of Con 2008

Aaron is scheduled to appear at the following convention in the USA.

The Wrath of Con
May 30th – June 1st, 2008
Panama City Beach, Florida. USA

Pencils2MediaMoguls: More Pencil Rewards

As I pointed out yesterday, Aaron said “if the winner cannot make it to Vancouver I will make a call and send some signed stuff.” In Ron Moore’s blog today, he has added that in (I’ve highlighted it in red font)……

More Pencil Rewards
Friday, November 30, 2007

The potential rewards for fans buying into the Pencils2MediaMoguls campaign just got bigger:

Mary McDonnell, Tricia Helfer, Michael Hogan, Jamie Bamber, and Michael Trucco have all agreed to make a personal phone call to fans who win the raffles in their names. The way this will work is simple: when you go to the Pencils site, the first box you’ll see asks you the name of the show you wish to support. Type in “Battlestar Galactica” and then the name of one of these actors, and your name will then be automatically entered into a raffle, with the winner in each category receiving a personal phone call from that actor. You can certainly buy boxes of pencils for more than one actor, but each box can only be assigned one name.

Also, in the event that the winner of the Aaron Douglas raffle is not in Vancouver, or cannot travel there (on their own dime), Aaron has offered to make a personal phone call to that fan and send a piece of signed memorabilia.

This is a really great and generous offer from our cast members and it could be a once in a life-time chance to get to talk to them, so take advantage of the opportunity and help us drown the moguls in pencils!

Pencils2MediaMoguls: Pencils and Rewards

Win a chance to go to a Vancouver Canucks hockey game with Aaron Douglas.

I received an email from Aaron an hour ago about this (sorry I didn’t post it sooner, I was still in bed) asking me to post about this on the website and message boards but it looks like Ron Moore beat me to it and has posted it on his blog :)

Pencils and Rewards
Thursday, November 29, 2007

Okay, this is pretty cool.

How would you like to go to a hockey game with the Chief?

That’s right, our own Aaron Douglas will take one fan to a Canucks hockey game, along with another buddy of his up in Vancouver. And how can you score this treat? Simple. By going to Pencils2MediaMoguls.com and buying as many boxes of pencils as you can. On the first page (which is a subset of United Hollywood) you’ll see a place to identify which show you’re supporting. Type in “BSG Aaron Douglas” and we’ll enter your name into a raffle, with the lucky winner getting to attend the hockey game with Aaron.

In case you haven’t heard, the Pencils Campaign is designed to send a huge amount of pencils to the major studios as a symbol of fan support for the strike. More information can be found on their website.

Look for other offers from other members of the Galactica cast in the near future — no idea what the offers will be or how many there may be. I’ll keep you informed.

Source: Ronald D. Moore’s Blog

UPDATE: I was just talking with Aaron about this and telling him it’s a shame that not as many people will enter because they can’t get to Vancouver and he said “if the winner cannot make it to Vancouver I will make a call and send some signed stuff.”

CHIEF TYROL MINIMATES: Available for purchase from BBTS

The Chief Tyrol Minimates are now in store.

You can purchase them from the BigBadToyStore website (and yes, they ship overseas).
Click on the links below to be taken to their website.

Lieutenant Helo and Deck Chief Galen Tyrol $6.99
Lieutenant Helo and Variant Chief Galen Tyrol $11.99

The Chief Tyrol on the right is more expensive because it is called a ‘variant’, which means that it is a variation on one of the characters already in this release. Only a limited number of the ‘variant’ figures are made and is therefore a collectible and more expensive.

 

Awww, and how cute is this? The Boomer minimate comes with a photo frame that has Chief Tyrol in it.

PHOTO GALLERY – EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Chief Tyrol’s Dog Tags (ser 409815) (x2 photos)

Chief Tyrol Dog Tags – Serial Number (Update)

Today Aaron sent me a photo of Chief Tyrol’s current dog tags.

According to Battlestar Wiki the serial number on Chief Tyrol’s dog tags are 312365. That’s what I also knew them as because he let me wear his dog tags at the WOLF G1 con in October 2005 and I took a photo of them.

Quantum Mechanix are selling BSG Character Dog Tags for USD$49.95 and I bought the Chief Tyrol ones. When they arrived the serial number on them was 409185. I emailed them and told them they got the serial number wrong. They told me that’s the info they got from the studio (read more about that in THIS post). So I asked Aaron about the serial number and he took a photo of his Chief Tyrol dog tags for me and the serial number is 409185 (as you can see in the above photo).

So it appears that the serial number on Chief Tyrol’s dog tags have changed. I guess when they made him new dog tags and changed it from “C. Tyrol” to “G. Tyrol” they changed the serial number.

Anyway, that’s a bit of useless information for anyone that cares about that kind of stuff :)

You can view the larger versions of the dog tag photos below.

EDIT: Battlestar Wiki has been updated to Chief Tyrol’s new dog tag serial number (409185).

CONVENTION CANCELLATION: United Fan Con 17

Unfortunately, Aaron has had to cancel his appearance at United Fan Con 17 (Nov 2nd – 4th, 2007: Springfield, Massachusetts. USA) due to Battlestar Galactica commitments. The season 4 promotional photos will be shot that weekend.

Chief Tyrol Dog Tags – Serial Number

One of these things is not like the other, one of these things doesn’t belong.
Can you guess which thing is not like the other before I finish this song?

Some of you may remember my post about Quantum Mechanix selling BSG Character Dog Tags for USD$49.95 (see post HERE). I ordered the Chief Tyrol dog tags and they arrived yesterday.

The first photo is of Chief Tyrol’s dog tags. Aaron brought them with him to the WOLF G1 con (October 2005) and let me wear them for the weekend. While I had them, I took a photo of them. The second photo is what I received from Quantum Mechanix.

The serial number is completely different.
I emailed them to ask what was going on and the director of Quantum Mechanix replied …

we requested and were supplied by the studio an official list of character dog tag data, including serial numbers. All our replicas are based on that information, as it’s the only studio-approved content that exists. Your Tyrol dog tag set was based on that information.

So it’s not their fault the serial number is wrong because it was the info they were sent by the Studio. But is it wrong? Maybe they made new dog tags for the Chief with the correct “G. Tyrol” listing and changed the serial number. I’ve asked Aaron to double check the Chief’s dog tags for me. He’s not at work this week but he will check them for me next week when he’s back at work. I’ll let you know once I hear back from him.

Oh, and ignore that it says “C. Tyrol” on Aaron’s dog tags. These dog tags were made before it was revealed on the show that the Chief’s first name was Galen. It’s not the only stuff up, Helo’s dog tags read “J. Helo”. I guess that’s before they decided his first name was Karl. And technically it should read “K. Agathon” not his call sign.

You can comment on this news over on THE CHIEF’S DECK.


UPDATE (October 30, 2007): Aaron has confirmed that the serial number on Chief Tyrol’s Dog Tags is 409185.

Meanwhile, Sam finds he can’t stop slipping and falling when he walks and realizes it is connected to the latest demon.

With Josie’s (Valarie Rae Miller) help, the trio (Harrison, Tyler Labine, Rick Gonzalez) discover the escaped soul is the former head of a chemical company that dumped toxic waste.

Peter Lauer directed the episode written by Thomas Schnauz.

And there is a shot of Chief Tyrol at time stamp 00:28 and 00:34 (see below for screen captures).

At DragonCon Aaron said that with the Chief going off and having secret meetings with the other “final four”, Cally thinks that the Chief is having an affair. In the 2nd and 3rd screen caps, it looks like Cally (that’s her on the far right) is spying on her husband. That looks like Tigh and Tory with Tyrol. Maybe Anders is also there but out of shot.

Battlestar Galactica Dog Tags: Now with character names

The below is a copy & paste From the QMx Insider Issue 2.1 email newsletter…

Battlestar Galactica Personalized Artisan Dog Tags: Now with character names

In Battlestar Galactica news: A number of customers have written us and asked if their custom-engraved Artisan Dog Tags can have character names on them instead of selecting a unique name. The answer is, “Yes!”

If you’d prefer the name of a Battlestar Galactica character on your dog tags, please note that with your order. Character dog tags have the following restrictions:

-They must have that character’s serial number on them, which means your serial number will not be unique.
-The character in question must be a member of the Colonial military, and we must be able to confirm an accurate serial number for that character. Sorry, Gaius, no dog tags for you!

We have confirmed serial numbers for following characters: Starbuck, Apollo, Helo, Admiral Adama, Chief Tyrol, Athena, Admiral Cain and Saul Tigh.

Because this is a made-to-order product, please allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery.

Price: USD $49.95
Shipping: 4-6 weeks
