Top five dads in Sci-Fi. Bill Adama is there as well, so I will not demand a recount. (via SF Signal)
Star Trek did it
The Grand List of Overused Science Fiction Clichés. But we like ring-shaped shock waves…
Stargate Moms
The moms of Stargate are getting their due with the news today.
Everyone’s favorite supersmart mom, Jeannie Miller, has officially been confirmed as coming back to the show in Season 4. Jeannie is the “rebellious” sister of uber-annoying Rodney McKay, played by Rodney actor David Hewlett‘s real-life sister Kate.
And there’s motherhood impending for another Stargate Atlantis member.
Do they use Pamper’s in the Pegasus Galaxy?
Created by Man….
Battlestar Galactica producer Ron Moore talks past, present and future with CraveOnline.
All your DVR’s are belong to us
The average sci-fi geek’s ease with using technology is killing the very shows we obsess over. (Jericho. Stargate. Battlestar Galactica.) SyFyPortal takes a look at the very different approaches the networks are taking to deal with this.
Continuum Continues SG1
SG1 producer Robert C. Cooper seems to have been talking up a storm, last week. And the teasers keep coming about the upcoming SG1 straight-to-DVD movies.
Gate Geekiness
In today’s Stargate bits, we have:
Producer Robert Cooper reveals just what The Ark of Truth (the upcoming straight-to-DVD SG-1 movie) refers to. (Spoilers. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.)
Cooper also tells the SciFi Wire that the much-discussed third Stargate series is still being developed.
Michael Shanks (Daniel Jackson) spills just a little about the last SG-1 episode.
Bridge Studios, home to Stargate and many other sciffy kinds of shows, has been sold.
And, most amusingly, David Hewlett’s Spacey’s acceptance, um, squealing is now available on YouTube. (You might want to turn down the volume for this one.)
Battlestar Bits
Edward James Olmos (Bill Adama) and Katie Sackhoff (Kara “Starbuck” Thrace) talk about Battlestar’s end.
Bodie Olmos (Hotdog) talks about how tough it is to be a recurring character.
Executive producer Ron Moore doesn’t seem to be focusing on that, though, and is talking about the upcoming movie.
As for future movies of this reimagining? Well, you’d best be starting to bribe Glen Larson (producer of the original) right now, because he’s not so enthused….
Spaced Out
Space Network (from our friends up in Canada) handed out their annual Spacey Awards, last night.
Although Superman edged out as the winner for number of awards, they were spread out over many genre shows and movies; including an ecstatic David Hewlett who stated, “In your face, Jack Bauer!” who finally lost after a long streak of wins.
Gate Goodness
Season 3 hasn’t finished yet, but the Stargate Atlantis producers are already teasing Season 4 on Stargate’s video site.
We also have the Region 1 and 2 release dates for Stargate Atlantis Season 3 of September 18th and August 27th, respectively. (Don’t be jealous of the UK fans. They have to run about collecting individual discs.)
In other fun Gate news, Stargate Atlantis and David Hewlett (Rodney McKay) took home Spacey’s, last night, for Favorite TV Show and Favorite TV Character.
