by Juliana Weiss-Roessler How does this photo exist since Dirk Benedict is notorious for hating how Ron Moore reimagined (or, as he refered to it, “unimagined”) the original Battlestar Galactica series ? He even derisively referred to Katee Sackhoff’s version of the character as “Stardoe.” Related Stuff:
Full Story »7 Sci-Fi & Fantasy Accessories to Love
by Amy Ratcliffe You have to admit that in space or Middle Earth, accessories can go very wrong. I think someone once decided that jewelry in space had to be large and reflective. Fantasy epics seem to tend towards tribal themes with shells and nuts. Both of these options can be done well, but it’s [...]

by Amy Ratcliffe Back in high school (not so long ago, definitely not over a decade ago), it wasn’t easy to find fellow geeks. Besides the fact that I am from a small town, classmates didn’t usually wave their geek flags out in the open. They kept it tucked away in the dusty hall closet. [...]

By WorldofHiglet – Caprica is separate, but related to, Battlestar Galatica, as Mark Stern, executive vice president of original content for Syfy and co-head of Universal Cable Productions, said at the Caprica Press Tour.

By Teresa Jusino – Once again, SyFy sells women short. They say they want to draw in female viewers, and yet they hide the fact that their arsenal now contains an amazing female character while they resort to the same old hottie shots of their female lead.

By Brian Thompson – When all the guns stopped blazing and the nukes started flying, Battlestar Galactica’s final episode lost its grip on reality. It also found a human peace it had been lumbering toward over the last four years–one we all knew was coming but none of us expected.
Full Story »Interview: Tricia Helfer
I wonder if Tricia Helfer is prepared to answer questions about Battlestar Galactica for the rest of her life. This week, Pink Raygun was on a conference call with Helfer in promotion of her appearance on USA’s Burn Notice, but the first question was about BSG.
