Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
There’s an interview with Katee Sackhoff in the new Entertainment Weekly. The article isn’t up on their site yet, but they have posted two behind-the-scenes videos, with a third to come.
io9 also got in on some season-pimping conference call action, and they borrowed EW’s photos to boot. Check out what Sackhoff had to say about Starbuck, Cylons, Bionic Woman and BSG’s secret to reinventing sci-fi.
Well, we don’t have to worry about totally losing the pretty factor when Battlestar Galactica ends its run. Tahmoh Penikett (the very pretty Helo) has been cast in Joss Whedon’s new show Dollhouse.
Speaking of BSG, Edward James Olmos (Adama) wouldn’t mind terribly much if everyone dies off in the end. Not that we really know, at this point. The writers have regrouped in the wake of the strike.
Don’t forget that SciFi is airing two season kick-off specials, tonight. (Friday.)
This is only the first in a series of Lost parodies – future installments involve other familiar figures.
The long-anticipated PaleyFest Buffy Reunion came to pass. (My boss got to go, the evil woman. Did she take me along? Nooo…)
All sorts of coverage:
Head on over to the Late Night with David Letterman site to watch (or read) the Top Ten Reasons To Watch The New Season Of Battlestar Galactica.
If you’re not in the mood for shenanigans, io9 has an exclusive preview of the new season.
And while we’re on the subject, Eick and Moore talk about Caprica and how it differs from BSG.
UPDATE: Word from the press junket!
Finally realizing that they’ve only got a season left on their most buzzworthy bit of original programming (Sorry Flash) and there’s only so far they can stretch it, the Sci-Fi Channel has given Battlestar Galactica prequel/spinoff Caprica the go-ahead. Ron Moore and David Eick are on board, and production will begin in Vancouver this spring. I doubt there will be folk-singing Cylons, but you never know.
And don’t forget to tune into Letterman tonight for the BSG top ten!
A little 90’s flashback for a Saturday morning… This song came up on my iTunes today and reminded me how awesome it is… And I realized I’d never seen the video, but heard it was hilarious. And it is! Alas, the quality is kinda crap but you can still make out the most notable cameos.
io9 asks Which science fiction villain would make the best U.S. president? Choices include our own Palpatine, Stargate’s Ra, Farscape’s Scorpius, Agent Smith, Khan, and the Terminator.
