Caprica Countdown – Day 11

Caprica Countdown – Day 12

By WorldofHiglet – In a few short days the new series from Syfy, Caprica, will burst onto our screens. I’ve been waiting for this since the end of BSG, so to count us down in style I’ve concocted the Caprica Countdown, packed full of must-have* information about the series. And on Release Day, Jan 22th, you can read my report from the Caprica set as you wait anxiously for the 9 PM Eastern Time. And don’t forget the PinkRaygun/Caprica give away Haiku Challenge.

Roaring Back to the Verse with Browncoats: Redemption

By WorldofHiglet – Michael C. Dougherty is the co-creator of Browncoats: Redemption along with his friend, Steven Fisher. This is a fan-made film set in the Firefly/Serenity ‘Verse. With a brand new story, ship and cast, all the monies raised after production costs are met will be going to charity. Since our interview with Michael in April, principle photography has been completed and the film is well on schedule for the premiere at 2010 Dragon*Con. At Dragon*Con 2009 the first trailer was released, giving people an initial look at the cast and a tease about what the film is going to be like. Since then production has been going on apace. I caught up with Michael to find out how things are going.

The Guild Season 3 Episode 11: LAN Off!

By WorldofHiglet – Now, of all the things I have imagined Codex being, a gang member is not one of them. EVER. Codex is about as gangsta as Weird Al, and gives “White and Nerdy” a whole new level. Bless her, though – she can dream as she pulls some interesting gang signs (bunny ears? Really??).

Higlet Visits Stargate: Universe

By WorldofHiglet – I had never really watched Stargate. I missed SG1 and then felt I didn’t want to have to buy into another new series when there was so much to catch up on. The two-hour premiere aired before the press tour so I dutifully tuned in to see what it was all about. It was intriguing, with some spectacular set pieces and a whole host of characters. It was slightly confusing at first because there were so many people, but the storyline clipped along and we were very quickly into the action.

SyFy Press Tour: Why It Nearly Didn’t Happen for Me

By WorldofHiglet – When Lisa emailed me to say that there was another place on the Syfy.com press tour in Vancouver I was excited. I mean – I am HUGE fan of BSG and the thought of visiting the Caprica set (and maybe seeing Jane (bow, you fool!) Espenson), seeing where it all happened was awe-inspiring. Add to that a chance to catch up on some other, new-to-me sci-fi and it was going to be soooo good.
