Starbuck Speaks
Off Topic of the day (hey, this a long hiatus people!): Joss Whedon, The Man, The Legend, is up for auction.
Addicted to BSG

Sci-Fi Wire has more details on the report that The 4400 star Billy Campbell wants to guest on Battlestar Galactica, and will work for free.
The TV Addict blog attended the online press event in Vancouver, and reports some spoilers for season 4.

It’s Hard Out Here for a Cylon
Jamie Bamber talks to SciFi Wire about shooting the final season of BSG.
Entertainment Weekly has posted a much longer version of the Hogan/Sackhoff interview printed in their "Hot 100" issue.
This Just In: Bright Shiny Future still overrated
SciFi held a BSG pressday on the set in Vancouver yesterday for online journalists and bloggers. TV Addice has posted video of the press Q&A session with Jamie Bamber, Aaron Douglas, Grace Park, Tahmoh Penikett, and...yes folks, that is indeed Michael Hogan. Part 1, Part 2. Warning: Douglas drops some S4 spoilers. I haven’t watched it yet, but apparently Robin Williams' favorite TV show is BSG, according to Douglas. Nanoo nanoo.
NBC has posted a new 9-minute Bionic Woman promo which features a lot more Katee Sackhoff (it's the first clip at the top of the Video list; Katee's scenes are in the final 3 minutes).
Ohhhhh the pure, simple pleasure of a nasty bionic grrlfight in the rain. Heh.

Blade Runner: Final Cut
Edward James Olmos ("Gaff" in Blade Runner) has often said that in 1982 Blade Runner opened a door, and no one went through that door again until Battlestar Galactica came along in 2003.
This fall director Ridley Scott will unveil his Final Cut of his SF masterpiece.
(Thanks to ProgGrrl for pointing out the new trailer.)
Speaking of trailers, I uploaded an iPod ready version of Sci-Fi channel's promo for the promo of "Razor" referenced in a post below by ProgGrrl. So, just check your iTunes podcast downloads if you already subscribe, or grab the video via iTunes.
Weekend Potpourri
You know one of the amazing things about Battlestar Galactica? There is no one character who always manages to do the right thing. There are characters who try, but they don't always succeed. And the right path isn't always obvious, and outcomes are unpredictable. Even the bad guy is really only disastrously selfish, not evil. Even the robots are human. This gives the writers lots of opportunities to write the very best kind of fights. The kind where both sides are right.
Michael Hinman in SyFy Portal says people need to chill out about revelations about Admiral Cain in the BSG telefilm "Razor." (Some minor spoilers.)
And Battlestar Galactica fan Wil Wheaton delivered a great and moving speech to induct Gene Roddenberry into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in Seattle, Washington.
Quarter Pounder Of The Soul
Definition of pop dope: It's what you gotta have...These are the Quarter Pounders of the soul we're talking about, Big Macs of the mind, cheese fries of the imagination...And sometimes you get the good stuff. Take Battlestar Galactica. Excellent pop dope! I've been downloading season 3 from iTunes at a faster and faster clip, sending them over to my TV by way of some agreeable Macintosh juju, and then pigging out...Pop dope, baby. It gets into your brain and just simmers.

Sackhoff/Hogan on EW's 100

Katee Sackhoff and Michael Hogan make the list of Entertainment Weekly's 100 TV Stars We're Loving Right Now. Katee and Michael talk about where we left their characters at the end of season 3, and what might be going on with them in season 4. (A scan from the actual magazine.)
CanMag has a rehash of information Ron Moore has said about the Pegasus movie, "Razor".
Starbuck LOL
Katee Sackhoff did a livechat with users of the Los Angeles Times' Gold Derby Forum yesterday. The wonderful wisteria has put transcripts on her livejournal here (unspoilery) and here (spoilery). Gold Derby has other cool chats coming up soon for Emmy contender actors, such as Mary Louise Parker from Weeds and Hugh Laurie from House. If you can figure out how to find them on that forum. *scratches head over unfriendly site design*

Tricia Helfer will be be attending the Wizard World Chicago convention the weekend of August 9-12.
Hot Topic
starsprinkles has spied a couple of BSG related tees on the Hot Topic website this week, and posted them on the Battlestar Blog.
Nice. If anyone spots these in the stores, we're one step closer to world domination. Of course you can always go back to CafePress. They've got some great stuff. (thanks jcathm!)

137 Days until "Razor"?
Kara and Leoben music video by JimmieLynn
UGO.COM's, Jenelle Riley reports about the Q&A session at the Cinerama Dome.
Wil Wheaton writes in his Geek in Review column at Suicide Girls about recently visiting the old TNG sound stages at Paramount to work on some bits for a Star Trek: TNG 10th anniversary DVD set, and while there he briefly ran into Ron Moore. During their chat Wil expressed his admiration for BSG. (Part One) (Part Two)

BSG vs. SPN
brokenmnemonic has pulled up interviews from The SciFi World that I hadn't seen before, with Michael Rymer, Rekha Sharma (Tory), Mark Sheppard (Romo), Grace Park (Sharon), and Leah Cairns (Racetrack).
I guess two things I've heard are true: 1. BSG and Supernatural are both filmed in Vancouver. 2. There is a finite supply of actors in Vancouver. Somebody should cast Leah Cairns in a horror movie! Wow. (via noway_icons)
Some people have too much time on their hands. Seriously though, that is adorable.
The Grand Larson

Lets hope the Chariots of the Gods smile upon us all and that Glen will allow Ron Moore and David Eick to create some BSG motion picture magic. (As long as it's a good story.)

The Feed from G4
If you weren't there, this is about as close as we can get.
Comments
I'll fix the problem soon.
Until then just sent question and comments to logan[dot]gawain[at]gmail[dot]com until the problem is rectified.
Thanks!
Testing, 1, 2, 3...
The Official Battlestar Galactica Convention this fall is confirming guests Jamie Bamber, Katee Sackhoff, Tahmoh Penikett, and Kate Vernon. They are also running a fanvid contest (submissions due by November 1st).
Kristin at E!Online has posted a second video of her red carpet interviews at The Dome last week. (I think Bamber may be trying to kill us, fellow Shippers. Though he gets points for using the word "hot.") For anyone seeking Kristin's I *HEART* APOLLO tee or the FRAK OFF sticker, look no further.
Kristin also posted the rest of her "True, False or Frak-No-I'm-Not-Telling-You" game with Ron Moore. Hey, every tidbit helps when you're on Helliatus.
AfterEllen.com places Katee Sackhoff at number 84 on their Hot 100 List. Umm, 84? Really? Katee, you ought to do something about that.
This opinion piece over at Entertainment Weekly has me even more confused than I already was. It is not the first time that I've heard this theory floating around. But if this is true, then what is going to happen if RAZOR ratings and DVD sales are fantastically good? *scratches head*
Changes to the Sitrep
So, now you can expect double the news, and twice as much fun. (And having her aboard will save me the trouble of stealing her great link finds. ProgGrrl always finds great BSG news!)
Welcome aboard ProgGrrl!

SyFy Portal reports on speculation that we might see original Lorne Green era Galactica series type toasters in the BSG DVD/telefiilm "Razor". It's been rumored that part of "Razor" involves a flashback to a young Adama during the first Cylon war.

ABC will finally air episodes of Masters of Science Fiction in a four-week run starting Aug. 4, Zap2it.com reported.
From the same producers as Showtime's Masters of Horror, the anthology series was initially considered a mid-season show; ABC ordered six episodes, but now plans to air only four in the death timeslot, Saturdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
There's no word yet on which four installments will air. The hourlong shows feature adaptations of stories by such SF masters as Robert A. Heinlein and Harlan Ellison, as well as Walter Mosley. Actors taking part include Terry O'Quinn (ABC's Lost), John Hurt (V for Vendetta), Anne Heche, Judy Davis, Sam Waterston and Malcolm McDowell (NBC's Heroes), the site reported.

Babylon 5
Well, thankfully Babylon 5: The Lost Tales, a new B5 movie comes out direct to DVD on July 31st. If you like the intricate story arcs of Lost and BSG, you'll probably like B5. Here are some promos:
Check out the B5: The Lost Tales MySpace page.
Also on YouTube I found some really moving tributes to two late B5 actors who departed far too soon, Andreas Katsulas who portrayed G'Kar and Richard Biggs who portrayed Dr. Stephen Franklin.
Cylons, Earth and America
And here are highlights from the Moore/Eick conference call with the press, as reported by TV Squad and Buddy TV.
