BSG – The Woman King
Good Episode. Helo is a great character and it’s great to see him getting the attention he deserves. A stand up officer and a guy that trusts his instincts.
What was also interesting is that Caprica Six still sees her vision of Baltar – we haven’t seen that in a while. What’s up with that anyways? I really hope that sometime before the show hits the end that the secret of that bond is finally exposed.
Battlestar Galactica RENEWED for Fourth Season! February 13, 2007
Posted by showmescifi in Battlestar Galactica, battlestargalactica, scifi.5 comments
Praise be the lords of Cobol.
Battlestar Galactica is coming back for a fourth season. SciFi network is reporting that a formal deal has now been signed ensuring production of the fourth season.
Considering that it’s unlikely that BSG 75 would make it to Earth this year – or come close to resolving any of its myriad conflicts – makes me wonder why a Season 4 would ever have been in doubt.
I guess they could’ve gone the Stargate route and just put out direct to DVD movies . Thankfully that’s not the case.
Apparently the big episode that put Battlestar Galactica over the top is the “Taking a Break From All Your Worries,” episode which delivered 2.5 million total viewers and 1.6 million adults 18-49, the largest audience for any episode since the season-two premiere.
“We’re thrilled to bring Battlestar back for another season,” Mark Stern, SCI FI’s executive vice president of programming, said in a statement. “This series has delivered on every level, from the writing to the acting to the production values. SCI FI is proud to be the home of the best show on television.”

A very special thanks to http://passtheremote.wordpress.com/ who commented on a previous post.
Apparently the bonus scene from taking a break from all your worries is on YouTube. I’ve linked below for your inline viewing pleasure.
No Battlestar Galactica on TV tonight…lots on the Web. February 4, 2007
Posted by showmescifi in Battlestar Galactica, battlestargalactica, scifi, YouTube.2 comments
With no Battlestar Galactica to watch for another two weeks, ShowMeScifi has gone in search of additional outlets to help get a Battlestar Galactica ‘fix’. Just because there isn’t a BSG on the ‘air’ doesn’t mean you can’t get ‘new’ BSG content to feed your need for BSG.
1) BONUS SCENE Apparently the episode that aired last week (taking a break from all your worries) has a bonus scene that is only available to those with US IP addresses . It is currently not on YouTube but as soon as it is I’ll post it here (or if any readers are aware let us know and I’ll link it up) . It is criminal that this important scene was left out of last week’s BSG episode: President Roslin interrogates Caprica Six, who is now a prisoner aboard the Galactica. When Roslin tries to offer her a deal for her cooperation, Six replies with a shocking counter-offer. (CLICK BONUS SCENEif you’re in the US).
2) PODCAST Ronald D. Moore Exec Producer of BSG does a weekly episode podcast. The one for Taking a Break From All Your Worries is now live (get it here) and contains ALOT of insight.
3) BSGcasts. Really neat news desk concept with a pair of video bloggers who are taking a very good hard look at BSG. Normally I wouldn’t have gone looking for stuff like this (not enough time) but without a show to watch tonight (thanks for nothing SuperBowl) the time was there.
Battlestar Galactica Beaten by…The SuperBowl?!? February 2, 2007
Posted by showmescifi in Battlestar Galactica, battlestargalactica, scifi.3 comments
Adama and the survivors of the colonies have managed to thwart the Cylons time and again. But neither Raptors, the big guns of BSG 75 nor a smart FTL jump by Mr. Gaeta can save Battlestar Galactica from the SuperBowl. After being on hiatus for what seemed like an eternity Battlestar Galactica kicked of season 3.5 with the ‘Rapture’ episode and then followed that with last weeks lame entry ‘Taking a Break From All Your Worries”. The show is off this coming weekend as it takes a break in the face of the almighty SuperBowl. Rumor has it that Battlestar Galactica will also bow down before the Oscars in late February too. New episodes of Battlestar Galactica return on Feb. 11.

WOW great stuff. And SPOILER ALERT – Starbuck is a FRAKKING cylon she says so and apparently she dies this season too.
Back to the gag real lots of fart jokes and various other frak ups. It’s hilarious and a must see for any/all Battlestar Galactica fans.
Battlestar Galactica – Taking a Break From All Your Worries – lame’o’ January 29, 2007

Not sure if i’m the only one that noticed but..someone forgot to edit the sound properly on this episode. Some actors were inaudible while others were fine..clearly editting q/a is lacking on this shot.
Then again alot was lacking in this episode.
Kind of a bridging episode i guess some plot development but little action – this isn’t one i’m likely to watch again.
Is Kara going to hook up with Apollo? Who the FRACK cares anyway?! She’s a cylon!
Battlestar Galactica : Sagittarius is Bleeding (review) January 27, 2007
Posted by showmescifi in Battlestar Galactica, battlestargalactica, Books, scifi.1 comment so far
The new Battlestar Galactica diverges from the original in a very long list of ways. Among them is the fact that the original included the boy Boxey and his robot dog the Dagit. The original pilot of the new Battlestar Galactica actually had Boxey in it ..but we have seen him since.
Thank the Lords of Cobol for books.
In Sagittarius is bleeding Boxey is back.
The book in an excellent read and actually a MUST READ for all Battlestar Galactica fans. The show rocks, and so does this book. It expands an area of the show that wasn’t done on the TV show and it adds an incredible chapter to the BG saga.
Beyond just Boxey, President Roslyn actaully can see Baltar’s hallucination of Six in this book..which is really cool. I mean what the frak is up with those hallucinations anyways? is she real? a chip?
Oh and Boxey – bad news he may be a cylon. Too bad we’ll likely never see him again on the TV show itself but for now the book is a solid subsititue.
Battlestar Galactica : Starbuck is a Cylon! January 22, 2007

NO I’M not 100% sure..but i just watched the first episode of the second half of season 3 (episode title “Rapture”)…which was a fine episode btw…and now Lucy Lawless’ cylon (D’eanna) has seen the final five cylons (before she gets whacked).
She nods and apologizes to one of them as though she has done them wrong – at first i though it must have been president roslyn but after seeing the last 5 minutes when Kara Thrace (Starbuck) apparently had visions of the eye of jupiter her whole life…well…nuff said she’s a cylon.
Doesn’t anyone wonder why she’s the ONLY ONE who can fly the cylon raider?
Doesn’t it seem like she can kick a litle more ass than she should be able to?
She’s the best pilot AND sniper,
Cylons seem to know an awful lot about her, almost as if maybe they actually made up all her memories and know about it.
Why was she seperated from the other baby machines in the farm episode?
Battlestar Galactica Fan Fiction Contest January 16, 2007
Posted by showmescifi in Battlestar Galactica, battlestargalactica, scifi.add a comment
With Battlestar Galactica on hiatus for another week, I felt the urgent need to get a fix and found… A Fan Fiction Contest.
Guess what? It’s not too late to enter yet either. The deadline is Feb 28 @ midnight.
The contest? Lee Adama Is A Cylon. (as if..since that would mean that the ‘old man’ is a cylon too..or maybe somehow the Cylon cloned the real Apollo….).
Full contest rules can be found here.
I plan on writing a brief piece i’ll be sure to post it here when I do.
