Now that Rick has confirmed the presence of Boba Fett, IGN lists ten established characters they’d like to see on the live-action TV show. Several EU characters are on it – including the top two. Who do you want to see make an appearance?
As Vector approaches…

Video du jour: Fuzzy Trek
IESB has the Star Trek trailer, as seen by cameraphone.
Begun, the human cloning has…
Five of the new embryos grew in laboratory dishes to the stage that fertility doctors consider ready for transfer to a woman’s womb: a degree of development that clones of adult humans have never achieved before.
No one knows whether those embryos were healthy enough to grow into babies. But the study leader, who is also the medical director of a fertility clinic, said they looked robust, even as he emphasized that he has no interest in cloning people.
Lack of interest in human cloning: UR DOIN IT WRONG.

Is this the Shadows of Mindor cover?
There have been rumblings about this for a while, and now TFN is claiming that Dave Seeley’s CIV print ‘Rogue Leader’ might have been chosen as the cover art for October’s Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor by Matthew Stover. It does seem a likely choice, but remember nothing is official until we get word over at starwars.com.

Sci-Fi Channel may revive Caprica

- Bags and Boards: Comic-Con is safe.
- First Star Trek picture, the official site is live and there are reports that the teaser trailer will be with Cloverfield.

- James Masters, still kinda nuts: “Oh, Dragonball is the coolest television cartoon in the last 50, 000 years.” Can’t… Keep… Straight… Face…
