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

Battlestar Galactica writer Jane Espenson writes in her blog about writing on BSG:

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

There's another little gem in the new Entertainment Weekly magazine this week, besides Michael Hogan's exciting publicity appearance (a first! C'mon MH give somebody an interview!)... Stephen King adds himself to the list of famous BSG fans in his back-page editorial, The Dope of Pop:

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.

Promo for a Promo

SciFi aired this promo last night for a "sneak peak" of Razor to air during the Eureka season premiere on July 10th. Screencaps of each character have been posted here.

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*

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!)

Angel-BSG

TrekGirl42 has created a credit sequence for BSG using the Angel theme. Well, Joss Whedon is a fan of Battlestar Galactica after all.

New and Improved Sitrep

As you may have noticed we've made some visual changes to the Galactica Sitrep. ProgGrrl and I plan to add other touches and features along the way as well.

And comments should now work properly.

We hope you like the changes.
