Battlestar Galactica Hosted At the UN 252
TheDopp writes "The United Nations hosted the cast and crew of Battlestar Galactica Tuesday evening in New York. Clips of the show were shown as discussion points during the event, touching on the morality of Suicide Bombers in war, Abortion and the use of torture on enemies of the state. At one point during the event an attendee mentions 'the "Old Man" launched into a passionate speech about casting off the idea of race as a cultural determinant, and said we were one race, the human race. His voice echoed throughout the chamber growing louder until — I kid you not — he was yelling, "So Say We All," and the crowd answered right back. Hell, even I yelled it, I was in the fraking United Nations with Adama, the gods themselves could not have stopped this moment.' The full video of the event is located on the UN website."

For the UN, that would be a step up.

Yeah, they took some time out of their busy schedule of meetings with Bono to host BSG. At least it's a step up.

Because if you shouted "So say we all," it would sound silly.
When EJO shouts it, people want--no, need--to obey.

No one with hair like that could have been called in any way "good."

Now, you've got about 30 hours to watch 23 episodes + Razor + webisodes before the finale tomorrow night.
Better go get some energy drinks.

Um, because Slashdot wouldn't have a story on its front page if you were to visit the UN?
Oh I guarantee I would make the news if I visted the UN....which is why they won't invite me.

There are, of course, many actors who are well spoken people with good ideas. I get the impression that Edward James Olmos is one of them. Now fix the comment field in the Idle section. SO SAY WE ALL!
Mr. Shatner,
