Battlestar Tours

Beware of spoilers, but, Media Blvd. and Underground Online, have detailed reports and interviews from the recent BSG press tour of the Sci-Fi channel series sets in Vancouver, B.C.

And TV Squad wraps up the event with some final thoughts about the event, and includes a photo gallery from the tour. And Zap2it recounts the BSG cast's encounters with famous fans of Battlestar Galactica like Robin Williams and Quentin Tarantino among many others.

The Bucks Free Press in the United Kingdom reports that on Saturday, July 28th:

SCI-FI fans will be swapping ray guns for textbooks when they descend on High Wycombe to discuss cult classic TV show Battlestar Galactica.

A one-day talk about the space-based show is being held at Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College and is expected to attract dozens of starry-eyed enthusiasts.

The talk is the first academic conference held in the country devoted to the revamped version of the 70s show, and has been organised by fan Ewan Kirkland, a media studies lecturer at BCUC in Queen Alexandra Road.

He said: "This ground-breaking TV series demands serious academic attention.

"Battlestar Galactica is the most politically, philosophically and artistically compelling television programme of recent years. The show combines thriller, space opera, war film and docu-drama, raising questions about the nature of humanity, governance, desire, technology and religion."

Lastly, according to Bear McCreary's site the Battlestar Galactica: Season Three original soundtrack will be released in October 2007.
