Joss Whedon watches Battelestar Galactica. He likes it. He really likes it. Could another cameo be far behind?
Behold, the power of geek
We’re thieves and it’s the future
Hilarious MST3King of Serenity. Now I miss two dead shows. Damn.
Battlestar Galacticsimpsons
Dude, that was like a Jedi moment.
ROTS gets two Saturn Awards
Revenge of the Sith did well at the Saturn Awards – Best Science Fiction Film and Best Music. Battlefront II won the Best Science Fiction Video Game Release.
Batman Begins won Best Fantasy Film, and Lost and Battlestar Galactica both won for Best TV series in their respective catagories. Christian Bale, Matthew Fox, James Callis, Katee Sackhoff and Serenity’s Summer Glau all took home actor awards.
Galactica gets a spin-off
The Sci-Fi Channel has annouced that Caprica, a Battlestar Galactica spin-off set more the 50 years before the current series. The series is part of their development slate, and might not get picked up, but with the BSG connection I’d say it has a pretty good chance.
Will there be girls there?
Adult Swim wants more women viewers. Well, I love Harvey Birdman, The Venture Brothers, The Boondocks, and Robot Chicken, but they lost me with the last crop of subpar shows. Tom Goes to the Mayor? Squidbillies? 12 Ounce Mouse? I’ve read grocery lists with more laughs.
Sticking Futurama in the new 10:30 weekday slot was a great start, though. Chicks love Futurama. At least, I do.
Galactica Wins Peabody
Who’da thunk it? A sci-fi show actually winning a Peabody Award?
The new Battlestar Galactica has won an award for 2006. (Okay. They also chose South Park. But really. That’s a brilliant show.)
Per the press release:
A belated, brilliantly re-imagined revival of a so-so 1970s outer-space saga, the series about imperiled survivors of a besieged planet has revitalized sci-fi television with its parallax considerations of politics, religion, sex, even what it means to be “human.” NBC Universal Television Studio.
Makes you just want to give Baltar a big ol’ squishy hug, doesn’t it?
