Some Battlestar Galactica episodes are better than others.
This one was all about plot development, and it sure did drag on a whole lot.
The extended leaving scenes with Lee Adama and the stuff with Troy were just well…not good.
The Cylon Civil War stuff…now that’s cool. But unless the Six’s can kill all the other opposing models it’s going to be tough. Frankly I don’t understand why Raiders themselves just didn’t all just fly off when they realized what was happening.
So now we’ve got sentient Centurions and Raiders with the skin jobs as equals…Nice.
Who is the Final Cylon? We know that Baltar knows it will be interesting to see though if he is the one that does finally let us know. Beyond that the Baltar character doens’t have a real purpose anymore does he?

With Battlestar Galactica wrapping up work is gearing up for the prequel Caprica series. Caprica will center around two families, the Graystones and the Adamas, and the goings on leading up to the Cylons as we see them on the show now.
AOL’s TV Squad website has the full casting notes DANIEL GRAYSTONE creator of the Cylons and JOSEPH ADAMS (Admiral Adama’s father). Their respective families are also in the show…no word in their about who is the president of colonies and how that might play out.
It will be interesting to see the true genesis of the Cylon, though somehow i suspect that since we know where it ends up, it might be really challenging to keep interesting.

Finally after nearly a year off…Battlestar Galactica is back.
Praise the gds of cobol.
The beginning of this first episode was great..massive cylon fleet, battle all around and simply amazing.
Then it kinda lamed out a bit didn’t it?
I hope this whole season won’t be just about the ‘new’ cylons and the hunt for the final one…sure that’s interesting but it’s also just plain weird.
Anders gets scanned by a Cylon Raider ..and WOA…wait a sec since when are centurions in Raiders in the new show? aren’t this just organic kind of things that don’t require centurions anymore?
And considering that Anders, Tigh and the others must’ve been scanned by Cylons before…why wouldn’t they have had the same effect before?
It’s dumb and it kinda made this show suck (but just a little).
It will be neat to figure out what the frak Kara Thrace really is (cylon?) and where the whole Baltar thing is going..

Huh.
While Firefly and Battlestar Galactica seem to me to be two different — though both gritty Sci-Fi – shows, there actually is a more tangible link between the two.
Writer Jane Espenson actually wrote episodes for both shows (browncoats and toasters). In a really interesting interview she spill the beans on the difference between the two shows and how much influence Firefly had on BSG.
What was it like being the only Firefly writer to come over to BSG? Did you get a sense that BSG was trying to imitate some of Firefly’s more revolutionary elements, like the grittier, less heroic tone?
I don’t think Firefly influenced BSG. BSG was being developed shortly after Firefly was, and I’m under the impression that Ron would’ve been too busy coming up with Battlestar to be watching Firefly.
Battlestar Galactica Season Zero issue #5 March 29, 2008

Sure all the hype this week is about the new Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica..
I’m still pretty excited about Season Zero though.
Issue #5 is FRAKING awesome…solid art, neat plot with the ship overrun by what seem like proper Colonials…but aren’t.
Who need the cylons when you’ve got a rebel insurgency within the colonies and a potential civil war?
I guess the colonies were pretty messed up even without the Cylon’s nuking them into non-existence.

WOW.
This month’s Entertainment Weekly has an awesome spread with Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica)…
and yes she looks fine.
Even more interesting though to SciFi fans is her revelations about the show, what she likes (the cast), dislikes (her Viper) and the word she never uses (Frak).
Check out the awesome video interview:

Add one more item to the pre-season 4 Battlestar Galactica hype toaster..
With toaster being the operative word ..as in build your own Toaster and take over the…er..gain the respect and admiration of your friends and family…yeahh that’s it.
HOW TO ENTER
“Make” a Cylon: Use whatever you like: blinking lights for eyes, metal armor as a costume, toasters… anything to show the world that you’re a Cylon maker. The only caveat is that it has to be something physical (no Photoshop/art entries). Your Cylon can be of the humanoid or robotic variety, real or abstract, or anything else you can think of.
All you need to enter is post the image up in the http://www.flickr.com/groups/make/pool/ group and tag it “dvicemakecylon” . Sounds neat and we’ll let you know when we’ve got a few from ShowMeSciFi.com up in the mix.
Top 10 Reasons To Watch New Season of Battlestar Galactica March 20, 2008

Generally speaking I like David Letterman.
I also like Battlestar Galactica – so you would think that having all the stars for BSG on the Late Show would be a winning combination right?
IT WASNT’.
IT WAS LAME. The actors (all dress in their BSG costumes) looked totally fake and the only one that was even close to being real was Tricia Helfer and Katee Sackhoff.
The rest were bad and looked like crap.
The top 10 list was also lame (though the Starbuck line – we get chased by killing machines in the new season..same sh*t as last year ..was funny..). And of course who doesn’t want to see Caprica Six naked?
If you missed it CBS has posted the full bit online …here ya go..

We all know they film Battlestar Galactica in Canada.
It’s only every so often that the stars of Galactica actually do Canadian interviews…but with the gear up towards the return of Galatica in a few weeks, they’re out talking.
Case in point is Katee Sackhoff who had this hilarious interview on CBC the other day.
Battlestar Galactica : Caprica – Back on Track? January 17, 2008

We’ve been hearing about the Battlestar Galactica : Caprica prequel series for at least a year.
The general idea behind Caprica is that Caprica would take place more than half a century before the events that play out in Battlestar Galactica. The people of the Twelve Colonies are at peace and living in a society not unlike our own, but where high technology has changed the lives of virtually everyone for the better.
In the latest issue of TV Guide (the one with the Sarah Connor Chronicles cover) there is a news bit that would seem to indication that SciFi will now put Caprica into production.
The reason why now is simple. The script is already done – and with the strike SciFi is desperate for scripts so why not use something it already has but just hasn’t produced?
“I just got a call from NBC-Universal,” SciFi VP Mark Stern told TV Guide. “They want us to take another look at the project.”

Lots of activity lately in Battlestar Galactica promo land…one of the most interesting by far is one we just came across on Canada’s Space Network (sort of like SciFi only lamer usually).
They’ve got a SciFi media show call Hypaspace and they did a really great insider look at the upcoming Season 4 with some really solid cast interviews.
Katee Sackhoff declares that she’s not a cylon (though we all know she is) and apparently a whole lot of ppl die this season…
Check it out..

Entertainment Weekly has a full spread in their latest issue on Battlestar Galactica season 4. They’ve done a ‘last supper’ pic which is supposed to provide all kind of spoiler indications. Without spelling it out for you..here’s EW’s take below…(and hey go pick up a copy of Entertainment Weekly if you want a full size version). The big question about who is the final cylon is still the big question….

A new story arc takes shape and it looks real good so far. A series of terrorist attacks takes place across the colonies, and the Battlestar Galactica is in charge of the investigation. A nice multi-threaded story with decent art, dialogue and action.
I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again – while Mr. Moore decides on when Season 4 will ever show up (and the awesomeness of Razor aside). Dynamites Battlestar Galactica comics are really great avenue to get your BSG fix.
Pacing follows a BSG TV episode.
Characters are the same.
Plots could easily have fallen out of Mr. Moore’s own script book too.

From the first 2 minute flashback to this – the last 2 minute Battlestar Galactica Razor Flashback – this has been 14 full minutes of frakking awesome good SciFi.
We’ve never known the suddenness of how the first Cylon War ended – now we do. The preview also has all kind of hidden meaning and Adama’s discovery of the human prisoners is likely somehow related to the new biological cylons.
If you haven’t seen it yet ENJOY. The DVD version of Razor should have all this on it (plus a few extras) but for now..this will do…

We’ve heard from a few people that made it out to the free advance showing of Battlestar Galactica Razor the other day..
Apparently Jamie Bamber (Apollo) was at the Seattle showing (thnx ODA!).
In general all the comments pointed to one singular conclusion.
One single word to sum it all up.
AWESOME.
Those that missed out get to watch it on TV in 10 days on Nov. 24th!!
Battlestar Galactica Pegasus – one shot from Dynamite November 7, 2007

The great Battlestar Pegasus – the episode in which it appeared in the Classic BSG was a ‘classic’ itself. In the modern re-imagined Battlestar Galactica – the Pegasus is soo very much more. The upcoming Razor movie will shed a whole lot of light on exactly how much more…but till then Dynamites Pegasus one shot isn’t a bad filler.
And make no mistake – ‘filler’ – is what this book is…it’s not terribly complex and essentially hits on that key period just ahead of the main cylon attack.
It’s a ripe period for plot..and this little book gives a first look – not sure if its canon – on Cain’s first modern day encounter with the Cylon. Art is ok and the story progresses well..it’s just not as deep as say the Season Zero or the Zarek mini-series.

“All this has happened before and it will happen again”
WOWOWOWOW. The flashbacks have all been awesome so far but this one really raises an incredible number of questions.
Adama stumbles onto a Cylon lab – obviously they’re experimenting on humans to try and make a biological cylon…or are they?
There is enough doubt and clues planted that the Cylon could very well have been biological beings to begin with..
The most curious line in the whole two minutes — all this has happened before and will happen again – was that just a voice in Adama’s head? the Fifth Cylon?
I don’t know…but I do know that these flashback – while only 2 minutes in length are excellent entertainment.
If you’re outside the US and don’t have the stomach for Flash BS – here’s the vid for your viewing pleasure..
