More from the Dome

A video clip and some lovely photos from the Dome premiere of "Revelations" has been posted by The LA Times.

You know a show is great -- better yet -- you know a show's FANS are great when one of the loudest cheers at a screening comes when the writers' credits hit the screen. But that's how it is with "BSG"...

Here is EW's coverage of the event.

MovieWeb was nice enough to type up a transcript of most of the Q&A with Ron Moore, Katee Sackhoff, Mary McDonnell & Tricia Helfer, and even removed the spoilers for "Revelations." Note this discussion about the spinoff show CAPRICA:
You mentioned a couple of years ago that there was a prequel series. Is that still in the works?

Ron Moore: Not only is it in the works, they're shooting it as we speak. Caprica is being shot in Vancouver right now. Jeff Reiner is directing it. He's one of the directors on Friday Night Lights. Dailies look great. I was up on the set last week. It's very cool, the cast is tremendous, Eric Stoltz and Esai Morales headline the cast. We have high hopes for it. It's a two-hour back-door pilot. We have great hopes that it goes to series and it's a very different piece. It's not this show. It's a different mood, it's a different flavor, it's a completely different concept for a series that lives within the same Galactica universe and we'll just see what happens.

Mary McDonnell: I snuck out of Battlestar the other day...[spoiler removed] and I went over to watch Caprica. I, first of all, scared them, because they didn't know who I was, this mad woman [spoiler removed] and then they said, 'Mary!' I sat there and watched and it was absolutely thrilling. They were beautiful and adorable and it was startling to watch. I just wanted to share that because we all feel, I don't know, we all feel paternal.

Katee Sackhoff: I was just going to say that they all kind of treat us like their parents. It's very interesting.


We have heard a lot of rumors over the past two weeks about CAPRICA going to series. Let's hope they are true!

I hope it won't be too hard for BSG watchers to make the transition to Caprica.

That show's got a lot to live up to...
