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?

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #11
A new two-part story begins as fugitive Padawan Zayne Carrick and the crew of the Last Resort devise a plan to nab some much needed cash. On the banking world of Telerath they set their plot into motion unaware the bounty on their heads is about to catch up to them. Yet there’s more going on than the schemers or their hunters realize, and when it all blows sky-high an unexpected reunion will throw Zayne’s life on the run into question.
SPOILER ALERT BELOW:
Alright the first story arcs were pretty cool and now we’re setup for 2 issue story arc which is coool since it’s not too stretch out.
Wanna take a guess at what the ‘unexpected’ reunion is? Come on..take a guess….
Alright i’ll just come out and tell ya. It’s Zayne’s dad, but we don’t get to that until the last page.
A bit of a waste but hey it kind of does leave you wanting for more…I for one can hardly wait to read issue #12!

This is a hilarious bit that was on the Daily Show the other day. Clearly it was scripted with Takei and Nimoy but still very very funny.

New Stargate
Movies Coming Soon!
Studio Continues Record Breaking Franchise by Releasing “Stargate: The Ark of Truth” and “Stargate: Continuum”
LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. (MGM) announced today the extension of the hit “Stargate SG-1” franchise with two movies based on the popular series. Titled “Stargate: The Ark of Truth” and “Stargate: Continuum”, the movies will both be made available to the television universe and home entertainment marketplace by MGM. The announcement was made by Charles Cohen, Senior Executive Vice President, MGM.
“`Stargate SG-1′ is to MGM Television what the ‘James Bond,’ ‘Pink Panther’ and the ‘Rocky’ franchises are to our feature film unit,” said Cohen. “We are committed to continuing to release new SG-1 content and its `Stargate Atlantis’ spin-off, and we’re also steadfast in our dedication to extending the franchise. ‘Stargate’ is an indelible brand for MGM and we will support it well into the future.”
With its high quality production values, long-term stability in the show’s leadership and strong chemistry between the lead actors in the series, all of whom have big audience appeal, “Stargate SG-1” is the longest-running science-fiction series in U.S. TV history. The series has a strong worldwide fan base and can be seen in over 120 countries. “Stargate SG-1” cast members Ben Browder, Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, Claudia Black and Michael Shanks are confirmed to star in both movies. Written and produced by Brad Wright and Robert Cooper, the new movies will feature the latest visual and sound effects, providing viewers with a theatrical movie-going experience.
In the first movie, “Stargate: The Ark of Truth” will bring a conclusion to the primary storyline of the past two seasons of the SG-1 television series. More thrills and action-packed scenes are planned for this special event movie, which will be directed by Cooper. The suspense will end as fans will see the conclusion of the epic Ori saga.
In the second movie, “Stargate: Continuum” the SG-1 team is now free to embark on new and exciting adventures throughout the endless Stargate universe.
Below are the synopses for the new “Stargate” movies:
“Stargate: The Ark of Truth”
As SG-1 searches for an Ancient artifact which they hope can defeat the armies of the Ori, they learn more Ori ships are about to be sent through the supergate to launch a final assault on Earth. Daniel discovers that the artifact, the Ark of Truth, may be in the Ori home galaxy, and SG-1 embarks aboard the Odyssey to find it, and pre-empt the attack. The IOA has a plan of their own and SG-1 ends up in a distant galaxy fighting two powerful enemies.
“Stargate: Continuum”
While SG-1 attends the execution of Ba’al, the last of the goa’uld system lords, Teal’c and Vala inexplicably disappear into thin air. Carter, Daniel and Mitchell race back to a world where history has been changed: the Stargate program has been erased from the timeline. As they try to convince the authorities what’s happened, a fleet of goa’uld motherships arrives in orbit, led by Ba’al, his queen, Katesh, (Vala) and his first prime, Teal’c. SG-1 must find the Stargate and set things right before the world is enslaved by the goa’uld.

The Star Wars Legacy of the Force series is shaping up to be one of the best (if not THE BEST) Star Wars series ever.
So far there have been three previous Star Wars Legacy of the Force books (Betrayal 
Exile is written by Aaron Allston who is the same author that wrote the first Star Wars Legacy of the Force book, Betrayal. What a wild ride it’s been since that first book.
At the end of Tempest Han and Leia Solo were on the run from ..of all people..their son Jacen Solo who is the second coming of Darth Vader, flying his own Galactic Alliance Star Destroyer named the Anakin Solo (who was a son of Han and Leia but now deceased).
The cover of Star War Legacy of the Force : Exile kinda gives it away, Han and Leia are on the run…the book isn’t out on the shelves (or by pre-order from amazon) until February 28th. I can hardly wait!! (but once i get it and finish it, check back here for my review).

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.

StarGate SG:1 lost its first doctor and apparently Stargate Atlantis is set to loose its first Doctor too.
And just like Stargate SG1 that replaced their Doctor with a fan favorite from another sci fi show (Andromeda). Atlantis is getting one too, but this time actress Jewel Staite from Firefly
Paul McGillion will no longer be a regular cast member, with his character Dr. Carson Beckett departing in the second half of Season Three. If you want to try and save him check out SaveCarsonBeckett.com .
