Battlestar Galactica ‘Launch When Ready’ Bridge Girl Fan Page (updated with links to archived pages)

—Battlestar Galactica ‘Launch When Ready’ Bridge Girl Fan Page (Wayback Machine’s archive of SarahRush.com)

Today my five-year-old son was watching one of my wife’s old Battlestar Galactica videotapes, and I remembered that when I was about 11 I had a crush on the cute bridge crewmember who told the Viper pilots stuff like “Transferring core command to probe craft. You may launch when ready.” To my knowledge they never made a subplot about her… Starbuck never made a pass at her. She just sat there on the bridge, with her little headset microphone. Did they use the same clip over and over? I wanted to know.

Good Lord, the Internet is scary… somebody has already posted what appears to be every frame from the TV show that she was in: Sarah Rush Photo Gallery (2003 archive).

By the way, this fan website is a good argument for why you should avoid making web pages with frames… when I want to send you directly to a subpage on the site, you can’t navigate back to the home page from there, becuase the author hasn’t provided any navigation on the internal pages. (Well, there’s a NEXT link, but that’s it.) Frames trick beginning designers into thinking that they don’t have to provide navigation on every page. The site also has a splash page… blech. Put your best content on your home page, and add links to the major sections. Somebody who has followed a link to your home page doesn’t need to be told to “Enter” someplace else — they’re already there. Don’t waste your chance to show them what you’ve produced.
