'Virtuality' Review: 'BSG' Creator Rdefines Sci-Fi Again

June 26, 2009

There are certain television creators whose work is not to be missed.  Any time a new J.J. Abrams or Joss Whedon show premieres, you know you're in for something +different and brilliant.  The same can be said for Ronald D. Moore, whose reimagining of Battlestar Galactica redefined science fiction.  Now he's done it again with Virtuality, a special premiere presentation tonight at 8pm on FOX.

The best way to describe Virtuality is as a cross between 2001: A Space Odyssey and the reality series Big Brother.  A crew of 12 men and women live together on a space station traveling to a far off galaxy to search for inhabitable life while Earth is less than a century from total destruction. 

Battlestar Galactica: Ron Moore Rebuffs Webisodes

June 17, 2009

While being an adherent of sci-fi and change and the future, Battlestar Galactica creator Ron Moore sure doesn't approve of webisodes.  They may have gotten more and more common these days, but it looks as though they won't be around for long.  That is, according to the screenwriter.

Ron Moore spoke at the Banff World Television Festival and explained how the studio requested Battlestar Galactica shorts to be made available online.  This occurred before the third season began in 2006, and the producer maintains that there are too many difficulties for the project to push through.

24: Katee Sackhoff Joins The Cast (But Almost Didn't, Actually)

June 8, 2009

Make that one more name for the cast of the eighth season of 24: former Battlestar Galactica star Katee Sackhoff is jumping into the award-winning action series, which is headed to the Big Apple by January next year.

Her character?  Sources told Entertainment Weekly that she'll play Dana Walsh, a highly respected yet down-to-earth data analyst at the revived CTU's New York branch.  The role also has a love interest tied to it--her character will be romantically involved with Davis Cole, CTU's field ops head and Jack Bauer wannabe which will be (still surprisingly) played by Freddie Prinze Jr.

Battlestar Galactica: Three To Guest On 'Warehouse 13', Plus Soundtracks Get Star Treatment

May 29, 2009

It's been pretty busy on the Battlestar Galactica front lately.  It's off air, sure, but inevitably one thing leads to another, and now, we have more former troopers showing up in another sci-fi series, and the soundtracks getting some love (and a release date).

First up, it's been confirmed that three BSG stars will take roles in another series that will air on Sci Fi, Warehouse 13.  Tricia Helfer will guest star as an FBI agent based in Chicago, while Michael Hogan will play the father of the show's star, Myka, played by Joanne Kelly.  (Funnily enough, the person playing Myka's mom is Hogan's real-life wife, Susan.)

Battlestar Galactica: Sackhoff's Pilot Put to the Shelf

May 19, 2009

It doesn't look good for Battlestar Galactica's Katee Sackhoff, who was booked for an NBC pilot earlier this year.  Reports have surfaced that the procedural series she got involved in has been passed on by the network.  It seems as though Lost & Found just became found and lost.

The hopeful crime show didn't make NBC's first cut last week, and it's not expected to appear on the network's the official schedule.  It seems grim for the likes of the Dick Wolf-produced drama, unless it can be saved by the NBC's sister cable company. 

'Battlestar Galactica' Items Up for Charity

May 7, 2009

Tomorrow marks a new beginning for Battlestar Galactica as it heads to a different realm: charity auctions.  Costumes, set pieces and props from the acclaimed series will be sold at a live event in California's Pasadena Convention Center, beginning on May 8 and wrapping up on May 10, Sunday.

Battlestar Galactica actors have donated  a number of items, all geared towards their particular causes.  Some of the well-known personalities who have participated include Grace Park ("Sharon Valerii"), Michael Trucco ("Samuel T. Anders") and Kate Vernon ("Ellen Tigh").

'Battlestar Galactica' Star Lands NBC Pilot

April 29, 2009

You've seen her on the sci-fi hit Battlestar Galactica as the doggedly hot-headed Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace, but actress Katee Sackhoff is ready to move on to a different role.  The 29-year-old star has been tapped to star in an NBC series titled Lost and Found, and has already filmed the pilot episode in January this year.

While there haven't been any reports on whether or not the show has been picked up, Sackhoff's latest effort has already provoked enough buzz.  Playing the lead role of an off-beat cop, the Saturn Award-winner and the new show might just have a fighting chance for a slot on NBC's fall schedule.
