InDecember of 2002, two things happened. Languatron wrote a diatribe titled “Ron Moore: The Aids Virus Of Television,” and the SciFi.com Board got a moderator who wouldn’t allow Lang’s grotesque nonsense to be posted. Suddenly, Lang’s rants became taboo; his “Aids Virus” post was summarily removed, and Lang, in what would become a regular occurrence ... Read more

Ifyou're sick of this story, or even if you're not, there's some non-Lang-related Stallion goodness online elsewhere. I have a new professional gig - I'm the blogger for Doginhaus.com. I blog about all things dog.Check out today's entry - it features a link to the hit song "Dog/Birdie War!" ... Read more

Well,it turns out Languatron DIDN’T know my real name and DIDN’T know where I lived. As usual, he was full of crap. But the very thought that perhaps he could have known severely unsettled me. These stupid rants were something I snuck into the corners of my busy days, and I had no intention of ... Read more

Everytime Stallion tried to engage in battle with Languatron, though, it went nowhere. To him, I was just another Universal Executive, or Neuromancer in disguise. I had to take a different approach.But what?During this time, heated rumors about Galactica’s revival prospects were flying all over the place, and everyone on the board was poring over ...

Languatronwas a lone wolf. That is to say, some people agreed with some of the points he made, but nobody interacted with him on a personal basis. He didn’t seem to have any recognizably human characteristics – it was all business with him all the time, and his business was complaining about what was happening ... Read more

(Editorialnote: Perhaps this is boring you. But I'm enjoying writing it. So off I go, knowing that comments will not be thick on the ground.)When I entered the Battlestar Galactica discussion, I didn’t use my real name, of course. I didn’t want these people to know who I was or where I lived. But I, ... Read more

Thedictionary defines a “languatron” as “a Colonial device that acts as a translator, capable of translating speech in real-time.”No, wait. That’s not the dictionary. That’s the online Battlestar Wiki, which takes jargon from the television series Battlestar Galactica and translates it into English for people who don’t live in their parents’ basements.There have been ...

Continuedfrom Saturday's opus...Stallion made it possible for me to ignore my instincts and take chances that sensible people would never take. That may be a problem if you’re studying architecture or dentistry, but I was a theatre major, which demanded that I at least appear to be somewhat creative.  So Stallion got me unstuck many ...

Sincewe're starting over somewhat, I thought it might be a good idea to revisit where the whole "Stallion Cornell" name came from.It started out when I was stuck. And being stuck is no fun.I don’t have to tell you that, but we have to accept that as common ground if we’re going to get anywhere ... Read more

Goodevening.Real life has been an absolute nightmare for the past few months, but I wanted to relaunch this blog in style. Rest assured, I'm going to be posting regularly again. I don't know if anyone cares at this point, but here it is.Blogger has been a major pain in the tuckus, and they stopped supporting ... Read more
