Who Are You!?

Spencerian is a computer technician and writer living in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Mr. Spencer is a typical computer geek and science fiction fan. He has a strong interest in The Matrix series of films and related material and has developed many interpretations on the philosophy and motivations found in the movies. Most of these ideas have been integrated (with supporting sources, of course) on The Matrix (especially most of the content in the Neo and Trinity articles).

"I find your continued use of definite articles before capital ship names disturbing."

Mr. Spencer enjoys other mainstream shows such as Babylon 5 and is a recovering Star Trek fan, and enjoys Star Wars with a friend with a damned uncanny likeness to George Lucas (He has a starring role in that same movie).

Spencerian was an extra in the locally produced movie, "Saving Star Wars," which guest starred actor Dave Prowse, the actual man behind the costume of Darth Vader in the original "Star Wars" trilogy. Prowse was a reknowned fitness trainer for many stars, including the late Christopher Reeve (of "Superman" fame). Spencerian got a significant weight-loss tip from the Dark Lord of the Sith: "Drink less water."

"As you wish, my lord."

He hopes to feel better about Star Trek as soon as the franchise has been cured of the Bergman virus that consumes it. In the meantime, he is quite anamored with the RDM Galactica and considers it some of the best TV SF in the last 20 years. He's contributed quite a lot to the Battlestar Wiki and really, really asks you to place periods after the parentheticalized episode name in articles, and to avoid the use of "the" when discussing the ship, Galactica.

Silly pages like the Toaster, Flashlight, and Numerology pages help keep him from taking the BSG Wiki too seriously.

His girlfriend has gotten him hooked on "Firefly" as well. Dammit, there's another costume I have to think about...

And yes, his girlfriend (to his right in character bio picture) is quite The Hottie.

Costumes, Real and Planned

Spencerian does the SF convention thing.

He's currently studying the need to make as many costumes as he can that involve bald, dark and/or mysterious men in TV and cinema:

Costumes I Have:

• Morpheus: (See picture in my character bio). Best used with beautiful matching Trinity beside me.

• The costume won a Judge's Award at WindyCon this November, 2005 for best presentation and characterization.
• I'm betting that the katana in my hand persuaded the judges--"Scary" was their reaction to me.

• Mace Windu: Also shown here; in fact, I'm the "On my signal, unleash hell" extra in the "Saving Star Wars " movie and my expression was the best Russell Crowe-"You pissed me off"-look I could manage.
• Neo: OK, no, he's not black or bald, but the long trenchcoat/cassock, of which I own a suitable version, just plain says 'My kung-fu is better than yours.' The looks I get when I wear that at conventions or on the street tells me that no one is going to cross me that day. I'll have a picture of this up one day.
• Captain Sisko: From "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", played by Avery Brooks. I happen to have a nice yellow Starfleet tunic, but I think red is better.
• Hawk: The mysterious hired gun and friend to Spenser from the old "Spenser: For Hire" TV series and the Spenser novels by Robert B. Parker (also played by Avery Brooks of "DS9" fame in the series). Add trenchcoat, stylish turtleneck and goatee, and a .357 Magnum replica, and I'm likely to win something (or get shot for being too convincing to local law enforcement).

Costume Ideas for Later:

1. Frozone: From the most excellent movie, The Incredibles
2. Imhotep: The mummy from the way-cool and funny The Mummy and The Mummy 2 movies
3. Othello: A Shakespearean look so I'll have to have something cool to wear at renaissance faires.
4. Green Lantern (John Stewart): From the animated "Justice League" TV series.
5. A Viper flight suit and officer uniform from the new BSG. (Well, duh!!)

I'm open to additional costume requests that make women swoon, or cause gnashing of teeth and lamentations in others who aren't worthy.

SF Convention History

• Capricon 25 in Chicago in February 2005. (I'll be at the "University of Fandom" for Capricon 26 on February 9-12, 2006).
• InConjunction 26 in my hometown of Indy, July 4 weekend, 2005.

*The "Morpheus" trenchcoat debuted here.

• ConGlomeration near Louisville, KY, August 2005.
• WindyCon 2005 in early November, 2005.

*The "Morpheus" costume won a Judges Choice award here.

• Starbase Indy 2005, also in Indy on Thanksgiving weekend, 2005.

• Chase Masterson from "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" was in attendence. I spoke with her about her famous (well, here anyway...) interview with Ron D. Moore. She admitted that she doesn't watch the show very often, but her comprehension of the show was so well done that I admitted that she sounded like she'd seen every show.
• Herb Jefferson, Jr., our "Boomer" from the Original Series, came by to sign a few autographs (of which I got one as part of sheer respect for TOS)
• I conducted a "Battlestar Galactica" panel here with about 12 very interested convention goers. They were amazed and amused by the sight of the USS Enterprise making a cameo shot when I showed them the Mini-Series, as well as the "Firefly" vessel. The panel ran 30 minutes over, it was so filled with topics and questions. The panel degenerated into talk about the Matrix universe (which I didn't at all mind).

Original Series definition: a title of nobility (e.g. Lord Baltar)

Re-imagined Series definition: Battlestar Group ^{(TRS: "Water")}. It also doubles as an acronym for the television series itself.

Galactica 1980 definition: Dillon looks up this term after Gloria Alonzo asks if he has one ^{(1980: "Space Croppers")}
