Battlestar gets a Top 10 List!

I want to thank my compatriot Chipper Dave (who runs as many blog sites as I seem to - the poker site Chipper's World, and the beer blog Fermentedly Challenged) for alerting me to this great Top 10 list.

UPDATE: Sci-Fi Channel is airing two new shows tonight to bring you up to speed for the season premiere next week - Battlestar: Revisited and Battlestar: Phenomenon. Check local listings for times.

Battlestar spin-off gets the green light!

According to yesterday's Variety:

The Sci-Fi Channel has given the green light to Caprica, a prequel series to Battlestar Galactica. The two-hour "backdoor" pilot begins production in Vancouver this spring. Both Rondal D. Moore and David Eick, the executive producers for BSG, will join with Universal Media Studios to work on Caprica. Rene Aubuchon will co-write the Caprica pilot with Moore, and Jeff Reiner will direct it. Casting begins soon.

BSG ends its 3½-year run with its last 20 episodes starting on April 4, so this comes at the most perfect time!

* Thanks for letting me know about this, Steven!

How's the Jihad going?

Allah Allah AkBOOM!!!!!!!!! Gotta love instant Karma.


* Thanks for the vid clip, Steven (and the "Allah Allah AkBOOM!!!!!!!!!" line!)

If we were all armed with these...

... every scum bag, cowardly, stupid, piece of filth criminal would crawl back under the rock they slithered out from - and vanish.

Ya, I'm back. I was under the weather the last few weeks - OK, I was sick as a dog all of last week and still trying to recover this week.

But enough of that... on with the rants! And boy do I have some things to rant about.

Battlestar Returns!

Now that the writer's are done striking... GET BACK TO WORK! I kid. But I did just find out that my fave show, Battlestar Galactica, returns April 4 (three days before my birthday, wooohoo!).

The first half of its 20-episode final season (NOOOOOOO!) was thankfully already filmed before the big brouhaha with the greedy basitch studios errupted back in October. Production on the final 10 episodes looks to begin in March. Airdates for them have not yet been announced.

Also of note, Lost (another of my fave shows) will be taping an additional five episodes to begin airing on April 24 in a new 10PM time slot.

Sadly, the 7th season of 24 will not return until January '09. Damn.
