<CaptSheba> It is dubbed in Italian here
<Warrior3> she's never heard your real voice
<Sygnas> What is your opinion of the new books?
<Bojay> It can't be worse than the Chinese version that I just saw....
<LtSheba> But they're all sexy Italian voices
<Warrior3> we won't tell
<Ayelet> Hi, Jack. Ayelet from Israel. 
<Silverspar> I'm curious Jack...what other acting projects are you involved in now?
<Bojay> The books are great... they continue the story the way it should have been told...
*** _Cassie changes topic to 'Chating with: Jack "Cap.Bojay" Stauffer LIVE from the 20th Yahren Reunion.'
<CaptSheba> Oh, you had a nice voice in Italian, I remember
<Sygnas> wide spread BSG fandom Jack
<Warrior3> no way 
<LtSheba> Oh oh
<Warrior3> you really thought the books are llike the old series
<Bojay> Thank you, Ale, you would have loved me in Chinese...
<Warrior3> like
<Bojay> No, the books are not like the old series, they go where the series should have been.
<Warrior3> LOL
*** _Cassie changes topic to 'Chatting with: Jack "Cap.Bojay" Stauffer LIVE from the 20th Yahren Reunion.'
<CaptSheba> InChinese? Don't know;)
<Warrior3> hate to disagree jack
<Warrior3> but we do that alot
<_Cassie> lol
<Sygnas> Did you have a crush on any of the cast members?
<Warrior3> I get in trouble cause i am not an apollo fan
<Bojay> Remeber, the books are richard's vision, not necessarily Universal Studio's
<Bojay> I was maddly in love with Laurette Spang...
<Sygnas> cool
<Warrior3> tell me what you think Bojay (from the series-old) was really like
<Sygnas> I married a blond, always knew I would
<Bojay> She didn't think so - she had the hots for John McCook (Young and Restless, Bold and Beautiful)
<CaptSheba> Watch out what you are saying Katie! 
<Warrior3> well his BSG universe and mine clash but hey we are all different
<Bojay> Bojay was supposed to provide conflict with Apollo, within the Galactic fleet...
<CaptSheba> I know this actor!
<Sygnas> and!
<Warrior3> see we knew it, us females anyway
<Warrior3> more jack please
<Sygnas> yes more
<Bojay> We'll never know what would have happened, we got cancelled...
<Sygnas> no thanks to ABC
<Warrior3> what would you have liked to happen
<Bojay> When Anne and I were brought into the show, the relationships within the fleet were static... all we were doing was shooting the Cylons...
<Warrior3> poor sandra the witching hour and pings are after her
<CaptSheba> Oh I know Jack! I'm writng my stories about Bojay, Apollo and Sheba!
<Sygnas> Did you get along with most, if not all, of the other casts?
<Warrior3> yes jack but we have Bojay as a rival of apollo
<Bojay> Sheba was to be a love interest for Apollo, and Bojay was pure warrior, he wanted to follow Cain's philosophy...
<Warrior3> could it have gone that way
<CaptSheba> Jack, which do you think was Sheba /Bojay realtionship? And how would has been developed in a second season?
<Bojay> All of the cast were dear friends, we were very close...
<Bojay> Sheba and Bojay were like brother and sister,,,
<Silverspar> Were you approached to do Galactica 1980?
<Warrior3> actually it's the others that are writing Bojay, I just give them my opinion of him
<Warrior3> yes he was a warrior for sure
<Bojay> No, I was not approached about Galactica 1980
<LtSheba> Lucky!
<Silverspar> that's a good thing!
<CaptSheba> Jack, if ask Randy has some chapters of my stories about Bojay and Sheba, if you'd like to read them
<Sygnas> I am sure you are not disappointed
<Warrior3> wish they would have used Bojay more, you too?
<Bojay> In our efforts to revive the series, there will be no mention of Galactica 1980.  It didn't happen...
<Warrior3> ale to much angst dear
<Warrior3> :^}
<Sygnas> wb cassie
<Warrior3> he's there to have fun
<CaptSheba> He was a great character, IMO, with a lot of potential
<Bojay> When I was asked to stay on the show, I already had commitments to film a two hour "how the west was won"
<_Cassie> Agreed :)
<Sygnas> Are you hoping for its return as well?
<CaptSheba> Do you think Bojay was as a son for Cain?
<Warrior3> jack it was a drean of Bobby Ewing's while in that shower scene from Dallas
<Bojay> I was not available for 4 weeks.
<Warrior3> dream
<Silverspar> Who do you think would a good Commander now?..Terry Carter?
<LtSheba> It wasn't Bobby Ewing's dream it was Pammies
<Bojay> Glen Larsen told me he would wait for me, that is why Bojay was the captured warrior in War of the Gods.
<LtSheba> I remember my Dallas
<LtSheba> He was in the shower.
<Warrior3> no pam was dreaming dallas and bobby BSG
<Warrior3> :^}
<Bojay> After that, we were cancelled and the plans for bojay never came to fruition.
<CaptSheba> Heather, don't mention shower, it's better
<Sygnas> He was contemplating as writting it off as Adama's nightmare from the nightmare machine
<LtSheba> Disappointing.
<LtSheba> Still hungry Ale?
<CaptSheba> yes;)
<Bojay> I think that Terry would be Adama's voice in Apollo's ear..
<_Cassie> That was a terrible shame :(
<Bojay> That's only my opinion.
<LtSheba> Sounds like a good one
<Sygnas> Do you do any writting?
<CaptSheba> Do you spend time at your computer Jack?
<Warrior3> good opinion but some of us (not ale) want Tigh for Commander
<Warrior3> but we want you all back no matter who is Commander:^}
<Bojay> I write just for my onw amusement.  I do know the plans for the revival.  You wouldn't be interested in that would you?
<Silverspar> hmmmmm....who would you like to see commanding?...a cast member or someone else?
<Warrior3> we thought that was top secret jack
<Silverspar> yes I would!!!
<Bojay> Yes, I have a web site that you can visit.  It is in the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club site....
<Sygnas> yes we would Jack
<Warrior3> can you spare that secret jack?
<_Cassie> Who? Us? Intrested in the plans for the revival? Where did you got that idea? ;)
<guestguest> More!! More!!
<Sygnas> spill the beans jack!
<_Cassie> Hi DanaM Welcome :)
<Silverspar> Hi Dana
<Bojay> We would pick up the series, 20 years later.... that would allow us to incorporate new technology, new images of the cylons,....
<CaptSheba> What are about your writing Jack?
<Warrior3> hey DM
<CaptSheba> Hi Dana
<Bojay> and the fact that we are all older demands it....
<DanaM> Hi! :)
<CaptSheba> What about your character after 20 years?
<Sygnas> makes sence and,............. continue
<Warrior3> hey your better looking now and in shape Jack, IMO
<_Cassie> Yes, I would like that. :)
<Bojay> One of the ideas for Bojay is to make him the commander of the entire Viper fleet...
<chrismom> Just about ANY revival plans sound good, but please leave out any "super kids".
<Bojay> I have less hair, it makes me look thinnner...
<Sygnas> much like apollo was a squadron leader?
<Warrior3> no G 80
<Warrior3> has already been discuss
<Warrior3> it was just a nightmare
<CaptSheba> Bojay? And the other as Boomer, Starbuck and Apollo?
<Bojay> Bojay would be in charge of keeping this aging , understafed fleet of vipers flyng... not enough parts and not enough pilots.
<Sygnas> Have you read warhawk yet Jack?
<_Cassie> Well, Ale we know about Apollo, now don't we? ;)
<Bojay> Apollo will encounter tremendous opposition to lead the fleet in new directions....
<Warrior3> yeah 
<Warrior3> and
<CaptSheba> Jack, have you ever thought that in a new BSG series the Pegasus would be what Vojager is for the Star Trek series?
<DanaM> Well, I heard about Richard Hatch's script 5 years ago...
<Bojay> I haven't read the new book yet, because richard's head is already big enough.  ;-)
<Silverspar> lol
<Sygnas> lol
<Warrior3> LOL jack
<DanaM> *laugh* Bojay, the script that he was telling Glen Larson about was "interesting" to say the least.
<_Cassie> lol :)
<Warrior3> wb tracy
<Bojay> The Pegasus is definitely not gone, and neither is Cain....
<Silverspar> wb Tracy
<_Cassie> Tracy, where did you go?
<CaptSheba> And with whom lady we'll see Bojay? Or with whom you would see him?
<Warrior3> ale is our romantic
<Sygnas> Yeah, but you could bring him to the reality that Golden needs to re-read all of the older books to get a better perspective
<Jenna-brb> I had reached my 6 th hour online. Every 6 hours it disconnects me. I had restart. I couldn't get back on dalnet.
<DanaM> But, you're not gonna have Commander Cain... so they can pick anyone to command the Pegasis.
<Warrior3> pairs everyone up
<Silverspar> Which actor would you like to play the part of Cain?
<Bojay> You'll probably see me with a Hologram! ;-)
<CaptSheba> Is it so clear Katie?;)
<DanaM> ROFL!
<Warrior3> I'm pushing 6 myself, local server
<Sygnas> do not forget the Daedelus!
<_Cassie> Hope someone else is keeping a log of this chat...
<Sygnas> Battlestar Daedelud that is
<CaptSheba> lol
<Bojay> Don't know?  What if we got Beau Bridges ??????
<Warrior3> are holograms fun?  Jack?
<Sygnas> Battlestar Daedelus that is   "oops"
<Warrior3> yes ale very clear
<Silverspar> That would work...I think Beau is a fine actor
<Bojay> I don't think we should go there, Katie....
<DanaM> Uh, didn't I hear that Beau Bridges DIED?
<Silverspar> that's Lloyd Bridges
<Jenna-brb> Lloyd Briges died
<Warrior3> why not Jack I understand hatch does
<Bojay> KNow, that was Lloyd BRidges...
<DanaM> OOPS!
<DanaM> <red face>
<Sygnas> I do not believe that anyone could replace him 
<CaptSheba> No Katie, he is right
<DanaM> I don'
* _Cassie give the pardon to DanaM
<DanaM> I don't think so, either. but, Beau Bridges would be a good choice.
<Warrior3> randy I will behave now :^}
<Bojay> It's true, it will be hard to replace Lloyd Bridges, but the character of Cain is vital to keeping diversity in hte show...
<Bojay> The Cylons will have a new look....
<Silverspar> I'd like to see that!!!
<CaptSheba> Jack, do you answer yourself at the emails to your website?
<Bojay> Yes, I answer all emails from my web site...
<Sygnas> Yes that is true Jack
<_Cassie> Hope, they keep some old ones two. The old "models" that can never hit anything. ;)
<Sygnas> then I will have to visiti it
<DanaM> *laugh*
<Bojay> They have to use the old ones - Universal still has the old costumes... ;-)
<_Cassie> http://member.aol.com/bsgfanclub/fanclub.html
<Sygnas> got it
<Silverspar> Will the upper cylons change also?...and will there still be "Imperious Leader?"
<Sygnas> Are you hoping to play an active part in the new series if it is brought back?
<CaptSheba> Couldn't Universal sustain the cost for new customs?;) 
<Bojay> Yes, there will be some "senior" Cylons, and I don't want to give away too much, but they will evolve into a much more dangerous race....
<Bojay> I absolutely plan to be involve if the series is picked up again... I have discussed this with Richard and we agree that Bojay would play an ortant part....
<Silverspar> Will Baltar be rescued by the cylons?
<Bojay> The big stumbling block to getting this show on the air again is Univeral, because they own the rights...
<Bojay> Baltar will visit the galactic fleet and that's all I am going to tell you....
<Silverspar> Has Universal ever thought about selling the rights?
<CaptSheba> Jack, do you know why the character's name is Bojay?
<CaptSheba> Boys this is Cylon sabotage and Iblis influence at the same time!
<Bojay> Universal will NOT sell the rights, because if somebody else makes it and it is a success, then they look stupid.
<CaptSheba> Jack and Shawn, are you still here?
<Silverspar> yes I am
<guestguest> Welcome Back!!!!
<Silverspar> Has Patrick McNee expressed an interest in reviving his character?
<Bojay> I don't know where Bojay came from.. probably the name of Glen Larson's dog...
<Bojay> Patrick McNee will at least, do a voice over for the new trailer....
<chrismom> Expect more of that as we near Y2K ;-)
<Silverspar> heh...
<LtSheba> WB Ale.
-Jenna-brb- Hi
<Warrior3> I'll never get to one so this will be the closet for me
<Warrior3> ale
<_Cassie> We wish we could all be there, too
<_Cassie> Wb Ale
<Warrior3> wb
<LtSheba> Wb Jack
<_Cassie> wb Shawn
<_Cassie> One by one they are returning
<Warrior3> they are coming back
<DanaM> *laugh* Well, my hubby got jealous, Richard Hatch gave me a neck rub several times during the con.
<DeltaFox> WB
<Jenna-brb> big split, glad some of us could get back together
<_Cassie> Wb Jack :)
<CaptSheba> Welcom back to all the braves who were attacked by the Cylon servers!
<Warrior3> we lost about 5 or 6
*** chrismom is now known as Adama
<LtSheba> Quite dramatic
<DanaM> Welcome back, Jack!
<Warrior3> wb jack
<Warrior3> and randy
<Jenna-brb> hehe, Dana
<Sygnas> wb Jack
<Warrior3> we lost about 6 of you at one time
<_Cassie> No, we still have lagg :(
<Silverspar> wb everyone!
<Ayelet> Katie, that what happens when a klaxon goes off. :) 
<_Cassie> wb Ayelet
<Bojay> WElcome back, all!!!!
<Bojay> What other questions do you have?
<Warrior3> wb ayelet
<CaptSheba> Jack, do you visit the BSG webpage on the Net?
<Bojay> I need to flee in a few minutes...
<_Cassie> but they are still lagged :(
<_Cassie> Or we to them
<Warrior3> wb guest and mom
<Silverspar> Jack...would you like to see more Battlestars now?...or keep only the Pegasus & Galactica?
<CaptSheba> There are a lot of them!
<Bojay> Once in a while, I've gotten to know some of the people who have created the web pages...
<Warrior3> they are returning
<Bojay> If you have too many battlestars, we are stronger than the Cylons, and the Cylons are no longer a threat.
<DanaM> *laugh*
<Bojay> Besides, remember, it is "a ragtag fleet" and doesn't have the resources to make more battlestars...
<Warrior3> LOL jack
<Sygnas> do not forget the Battlestar Daedelus
<_Cassie> I agree with that, where would they get more Battlestars?
<Silverspar> The Galactica should go to that ice planet and have the clone workers make more
<Sygnas> even with three Battlestars, they are nowhere near as strong as the cylons
<Silverspar> Maybe Dr. Ravishol has come up with a new design of Battlestar
<Bojay> That would require more actors that Universal would not want to pay.
<Warrior3> oh so that was what that was a klaxton
<Bojay> The Battlestars will also look slightly different in the new trailer...
<Silverspar> How about the vipers?
<Ayelet> Of course, Katie. Everybody rushed to their vipers! :) 
<Bojay> Before I leave, I have one request for the fans in the foreign countries...
*** Adama is now known as Guest49281
<CaptSheba> Have you seen some new model of them?
<_Cassie> Hope they look the same in the outside
<CaptSheba> Tell us Jack
<Bojay> How about a convention where you live, and fly us over to where you are.....
<CaptSheba> Do you want to visit Italy?
<_Cassie> yes?
<Warrior3> what is this Daedelus
<CaptSheba> Oh yes Jack!
<Bojay> I absolutely want to visit Italy, do you need a room mate? ;-)
<Warrior3> sounds like a flower
<Jenna-brb> Only if y'all take me, too.
<Ayelet> I'm all for it! 
<LtSheba> Scotland?  You could try a convention that's happening in the year 2000.  Would you like the email address of the guy who's running it?
<LtSheba> Think it's happening in England tho
<Sygnas> the Daedelus is one of the 2 new battlestars built by c. cain in Warhawk
<Warrior3> no cubits we see
<CaptSheba> But who we'll pay you the air ticket and the hotel room? Me, Ayelet and Sandra are still students!
<Bojay> I'm going to say goodbye for now, but I will be available tomorrow, time permitting, and everyone think of one specific question.
<Ayelet> Italy is beutiful, Jack, you'd love it! I did. Hey, Ale, a BSG convention at the Forum, how does that sound?
<_Cassie> No conventions happening here I'm afraid.
<Jenna-brb> Bye, Jack. It was nice chatting with you.
<CaptSheba> Hmmm come Bojay, but I think Apollo will be very jealous!
<Sygnas> Take care Jack and thank you for visiting with us, we enjoyed the company
<guestguest> Thanks for your time!!!
* Silverspar and everyone here thanks Jack for his time
<Warrior3> warhawk is not out here
<LtSheba> Bye Jack!
