Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
There has been much turmoil and angst, lately, amongst the Stargate fans with the news of SG-1’s cancellation and casting changes for Atlantis.
But David Hewlett has hinted in an e-mail interview about his upcoming film A Dog’s Breakfast that there could be joy around the corner:
“There’s also a TV project that the Stargate fans are going to get a huge kick out of. Look for that to be announced any day now!”
Could there be joy in the Pegasus Galaxy?
Amanda Tapping (aka Sam Carter) speaks with GateWorld about the journey of her character and the understandable trepidation of fans who have heard the rumor of her going to Atlantis.
Michael Shanks (aka Daniel Jackson) is no longer Mr. Nice Guy in his upcoming movie, as told to MichaelShanksOnline by the movie’s director.
And a belated congratulations to David Hewlett (aka Rodney McKay) and The Lovely Jane Loughman (TM) who have finally done what everyone else figured they would eventually: they got engaged. (One less cute geek on the market.)
And the cover art has finally been revealed for the long-awaited (really long-awaited) Stargate Atlantis Season 2 DVD.
Much has been made of Battlestar Galactica’s ratings ‘slip’ this season, but Sci-Fi reports that the second half of season 3 rose 8% from the second half of season 2, and that it’s making significant gains with (shock!) female viewers. Eureka also did well, with the series premiere being the highest-rated and most-watched series in network history.
SciFi Wire has posted a short news bit about an upcoming Heroes episode in which Heroes hero Hiro (yes, I’m doing this to be annoying) collides with Star Trek when George Takei guests on the show.
Don’t click further if you don’t want the story spoiler….
Wil Wheaton fans, did you know he’s recapping Star Trek: The Next Generation over at TV Squad? Mass hilarity!
Did you hear that? Of course you did! You have that bionic ear.
Yes, folks. The go-ahead has been given to remake the 1970’s heroine to many in Club Jade: The Bionic Woman. If they can do it cost-effectively, then we’ll have a new Bionic Woman to enjoy.
They’d better use that sound effect. It just wouldn’t be bionic without it!
SyFy Portal reports that it’s likely that Battlestar Galactica will get a fourth season order from the SciFi Channel, possibly before the show returns on January 21. However, the fate of spin-off series Caprica is less clear.
There are also rumors of a direct-to-DVD movie release.
Hypnotoad! Hedonism Bot! Alien nudists! Toyfare interviews David X. Cohen about the rebirth of the best science fiction cartoon ever.
Another Stargate? Are Dr. Who’s American ratings really that bad?
