And the oddest news of the week...
Battlestar Galactica Fan Community —
You remember Caprica? The BSG prequel. That was made as a TV movie but sci-fi doesn't seem eager to air. There were rumors last week it may never air. Not so fast. Caprica Greenlight for series Perhaps they just realized with Stargate ending they are a little short on original programming and they certainly have enough reality shows that have little to nothing to do with Sci-Fi. (What's next? Tag! You're it!)

• The SciFi Channel has finally, finally, greenlit the Battlestar Galactica prequel, Caprica, envisioning it as BSG set in the '50s without spaceships. I predict the first space battle will occur before the Season 1 is out.
• I hated The Matrix Reloaded, but it did result in one priceless artifact: Will Farrell's spot-on parody of the Architect's pseudo-philosophical blithering.
• John Barrowman, who plays Captain Jack on Torchwood, exposed himself on the BBC over the weekend. One person complained.
• It's the 30th anniversary of ...

The Wertzone —
Battlestar Galactica's final ten episodes start airing on 16 January, but spin-off series Caprica has been greenlit for a full first season, which will debut in 2010. The extra-long wait is due to BSG's writing staff having scattered to other shows in the interim and needing some time before they can head back to the barn. Caprica's cast from the completed pilot (including Rome's Polly Walker and film actor Eric Stoltz) need some time to regroup as well. Caprica is set 55 years prior to BSG and chronicles the creation of the Cylons and the count-down to the ...

What happened, J.J.? Your relaunched Star Trek has tumbled all the way off the list from first place last week. Is it disinterest? Disaster? Nope, it's just been an incredibly busy week in the land of science fiction. Between Terminator, Watchmen, and a surprising amount of scifi television, there's just no room for the final frontier. But Trek at least deserves a nod in this week's introduction. As does George Lucas, who is publicly acknowledging the existence of the Star Wars Christmas Special -- which was so amazingly horrible that he's kept it locked in a vault for decades -- in interviews on the official ...
