Sorry, fans of “Caprica”, but the SyFy Channel has officially canceled your show. Not only has the cable net made the cancellation official, but they are pulling the show off their schedule after the November 2nd, 2010 episode. That leaves five more unaired episodes, which the network plans to run in their entirety sometime in early 2011, though when exactly is unknown. After that, there will be no more “Caprica”.

SyFy Officially Cancels Caprica
SyFy Greenlights Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome Backdoor Series Pilot
Can’t get enough of “Battlestar Galactica”, but think the whole “Caprica” thing is not for you? You’re in luck, because the SyFy Channel is heading back to more “BSG” territory with a new, two-hour “Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome” movie that will also act as a backdoor pilot for a possible ongoing series.
Gaius Baltar Joins the FlashForward Conspiracy
After what seems like forever, ABC’s “FlashForward” is due back on the air to continue its blackout conspiracy March 18, 2010, and from there, the network will air 13 new episodes in a row. When the show does return, it’ll have added a new castmember — James Callis, who plays Gaius Baltar on “Battlestar Galactica”, will be doing a multi-episode arc on the show.
BSG’s Grace Park and Tricia Helfer in Maxim Magazine
Yowsers. Why did they cancel “Battlestar Galactica” again? I’m not sure, but someone’s got some ‘splainin’ to do. Until then, here’s Tricia Helfer and Grace Park reminding you why there were some pretty awesomely good times on the Galactica before it all went to shit. The only thing missing, of course, is Katee Sackhoff. What, they couldn’t convince her to do the threesome spread? For shame, for shame.
Comic-Con ’09: Astroboy and Battlestar Galactica Panels
There were three significant sci-fi themed panels at Comic-Con on Thursday: Astroboy, Battlestar Galactica, and James Cameron’s Avatar. Alas, despite waiting three hours in line for “Avatar”, I only managed to catch the final 5 minutes or so of the panel, just enough to hear Cameron saying that he plans to show the first 15 minutes of “Avatar” for free in Imax theaters. I was not, unfortunately, in time to catch the 25 minutes of footage that Cameron brought with him. Earlier in the day, I did manage to catch the “Astroboy” and BSG panels. Observations from the two below.
Teaser Trailer and Clip from Battlestar Galactica: The Plan
Haven’t gotten enough of Ron Moore and Battlestar Galactica yet? You’re in luck. The Sci Fi Channel and Moore are releasing an original Battlestar Galactica movie called “The Plan” later this year that will further explore the mythology of the show from the perspective of those pesky robot Cylons. Remember how in the show it’s always said that the Cylons “have a plan”? Well this is it. Check out a teaser trailer and a clip from the upcoming movie, which is directed by Edward James Olmos (Adama himself), airing this November.
Gee, I hope They Don’t do Something Weird with it…
NBC Universal Television recently held an auction for Battlestar Galactica memorabilia, where BSG nerds with disposable cash (or however much they could steal from their parents) got the chance to buy their very own copy of Starbuck’s flight suit or that incredible red number that Cylon Number Six (played by Tricia Helfer) wore for much of the show. According to SciFiWire, a couple of geeks did put their cash where their hormones were, snapping up Starbuck’s flight suit for $16,500, while Number Six’s red number went for a chart-topping $23,000.
BSG’s Aaron Douglas in The Bridge Trailer
Looks like Chief Galen Tyrol is up to his neck in corruption and bad influences, and it ain’t the killer cyborg from outer space kind. Check out the extended, minute and a half preview for Aaron Douglas’ new cop show, The Bridge. You know, I like the fact that Douglas is the star here, and not some pretty boy. Hope the show works out, if just because Tyrol was always my favorite character on BSG, and I didn’t have a whole lot of favorites on that show to begin with.
Grace Park From BattleStar Answers Your Questions Gangster Style
Grace Park recently went on the G4 show to answer some viewer’s troublesome nerdy continuity questions. Grace proceeded to deliver a stylish attitude adjustment to propellerheaded fans that only someone so utterly perfect could sustain.
Thanks G4. Thanks very much.
Sci-Fi Trailer: Richard Hatch’s BSG Second Coming
What’s this? A BSG TV show with actual space lasers? Guys and gals not shagging in the hallways or moping around pondering the existential nature of life? Dang, as cheesy as this trailer is, it actually looks sci-fi, not some arthouse bullshit dressed up as sci-fi. Really, Ron Moore? People are flying around in spaceships on your show, and your characters are still wearing eyeglasses and use 20th century phones to communicate? WTF.
BSG’s Tricia Helfer and Jamie Bamber PETA Ads
Jamie Bamber and Tricia Helfer may be enemies on Battlestar Galactica, but they’re buddies in real life because both are concerned about saving animals. For Jamie Bamber, it’s saving the black bears of Canada from being hunted, killed and turned into furry hats, and Tricia Helfer wants to save cats. Because, er, apparently people are hunting, killing, and eating cats. I’m not sure about the last part, but I’m pretty sure about the first two. Probably.
Battlestar Galactica Spin-off Caprica TV Show Images
I’m not the biggest fan of the new Battlestar Galactica, but then again, I’m not old enough to be all that big a fan of the original incarnation of the show, either. So basically, yeah, I kinda like the fact that a sci-fi show is getting all this critical acclaim from the mainstream press, but oh boy, I sure wish it had been for something better, like say Babylon 5. But oh well. Caprica, the Battlestar Galactica prequel spin-off, is debuting on the Sci Fi Channel very soon, and here are some images from the show.
Battlestar Galactica: The Movie?
No, not the Sci Fi Channel reboot. Sorry, fans of depressing so-called sci-fi shows. We’re actually talking about the original Battlestar Galactica TV show, which according to IGN is currently moving towards an original theatrical movie over at Universal Pictures under the watchful eye of original creator Glen A. Larson, who will write and produce. Or at least, that’s the rumor.
BSG’s 12th and Final Cylon Revealed. Sort of.
Although I’m not a very big fan of Battlestar Galactica, I gotta give the show all the props it can handle, if just for bringing science fiction back to the lips of mainstream audiences. Of course, if you’ve watched the new BSG at all, you probably realized this is less a sci-fi show than a TV version of an arthouse movie, where everything tragic that can possibly happen to human beings do end up happening to these poor saps on the doomed fleet. Anyways, the big question circling the show’s final season is: “Who is the 12th and final human Cylon that has yet to be revealed on the show”?
The Girls of Battlestar Galactica in Interview Magazine
Granted, I don’t know if the girls of Battlestar Galactica had done this earlier in the show’s TV life if it would have saved the show from being canceled by the Sci Fi Channel, but it sure would have been nice to find out. Am I right or am I right? Anyways, Katee Sackhoff, Tricia Helfer, and Grace Park, who have all been with the show since the very beginning (from the mini-series on, in fact), and will probably all show up in any BSG movies that gets made long after the show is canceled, are all currently in the most current issue of Interview Magazine. I’m really not sure what the biker get-ups are about, but wow, Ron Moore sure knew how to cast them, huh?
