The Sci Fi Channel’s Battlestar Galactica prequel series Caprica keeps on rolling, with more casting news. The latest addition to the show is Polly Walker, who has joined the show’s two-hour premiere as Sister Clarice Willow, whose character is described as “the gracious, eloquent and duplicitous high priestess and headmistress of the Athena Academy, a private religious school.” Yup, sounds like Ron Moore, alright.

Three More Battlestar Galactica DVD Movies on the Way?
The show may be heading towards the home stretch of its fourth and final season on the Sci Fi Channel, but that doesn’t mean The Powers That Be have completely let go of Ron Moore’s Battlestar Galactica. It seems that rumors are indicating not one, or two, but three original Battlestar Galactica movies are being considered. As with the last and only BSG movie so far, “Razor”, these movies would likely go straight to DVD as well.
Katee Sackhoff Gets Sexy for EW
Wow, check out this video interview over at Entertainment Weekly with Katee Sackhoff, who plays Starbuck on the Sci Fi Channel’s uber depressing Battlestar Galactica. Now I’ve always found Sackhoff’s Starbuck to be very cool and hot in a bad girl sort of way, but I never really thought of her in the glamour model mode. That is, until this photoshoot for EW. The interview itself is about BSG, but she doesn’t really reveal much. Until EW actually releases those pictures they’re snapping of her, here’s what I could grab from the screen.
BSG Cast Does Letterman’s Top 10
A reader sent me the link to this video clip of the cast of Battlestar Galactica doing the Top 10 on David Letterman’s TV show on Wednesday, last night. It’s, uh, it’s pretty painful to watch. First of all, I don’t think Letterman has even heard of Battlestar Galactica, and why in the world they made the cast show up in character — well, okay, I can sort of understand that. But wow, there were some clunkers on the list. Okay, the Number Six one (“There’s a chance you’ll see me naked”) followed by Tigh (“There’s a chance you’ll see me naked”) was pretty funny, but the rest — wow, try not to cringe.
Sci Fi Channel Greenlights BSG Prequel Caprica
The Sci Fi Channel has officially announced that it has greenlit a two-hour pilot for a possible Battlestar Galactica prequel TV series, to be called Caprica. (I’m just guessing, but they’ll probably back on the BSG name somewhere in the title later.) Caprica will be introduced to the public as a two-hour TV movie, that will also act as a backdoor pilot. If you don’t know what a “backdoor pilot” is, it’s pretty simple: if the movie does well, a series will be commissioned. If not, then they’ll cut their losses with a two-hour movie, without the expense of hiring cast/crew for a series.
Sci-Fi Babe Spotlight: Grace Park
Who didn’t sit up and take notice when Grace Park guest-starred on Stargate SG:1 as the very hot Asian girl who had a thing for Daniel Jackson? Then she parlayed that into a major role on the newly minted Battlestar Galactica, which gave her enough street cred to do voice work on games like Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. Currently, you can catch Grace on BSG, which enters its final fourth season next month. Here’s our Sci-Fi Babe Spotlight on Grace Park, who, at 5’9″, is probably the tallest Korean woman I’ve ever seen, on film or off.
Battlestar Galactica Season 4 Promo Images, First 10 Episode Titles
The Sci Fi Channel’s most critically acclaimed show (quite possibly of all time), Battlestar Galactica returns for its fourth and final season April 4, 2008, but you can check out promo images from the upcoming season below now. Hey, why wait? The Cylons wouldn’t wait. We also have the titles for the first ten episodes of Season 4.
Sci-Fi Babe Spotlight: Katee Sackhoff
I have to admit that when I first saw Katee Sackhoff on Battlestar Galactica, I didn’t exactly fell in love. In fact, I kinda of loathe her character. But slowly but surely (about the third episode), Katee Sackhoff and Starbuck grew on me, until she was the best thing about the show. She translated that likability to The Bionic Woman, where even playing a bad girl, she was still the best thing about that short-lived TV show. Here is our spotlight on Battlestar Galactica’s Katee Sackhoff, the ass-kickingest chick on sci-fi.
Sci-Fi Babe Spotlight: Tricia Helfer
Tricia Helfer hasn’t quite become a bona fide sci-fi babe, but what the hey, she’s one of the stars of, probably the most high-profile sci-fi show on TV at the moment, Battlestar Galactica. Tell me that show would work better without Tricia Helfer’s uber sexy Number Six. You know what would have added to Tricia’s sci-fi bonafides? If her show Them, a sci-fi/aliens invasion show, had gotten on the air. But oh well. BSG alone more than qualifies.
Crack the BSG Season 4 Last Supper Picture Code
Entertainment Weekly has got this massive spread on their site showing characters from the Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica sitting around a table in a very Christ’s Last Summer style sitting. What are they trying to say? Is someone going to betray someone? And who is Christ? Is there a Christ? What the hell is going on in Ron Moore’s head? Who knows, but you can head over there to check out the clues, or take a look at all spread below for yourself.
Battlestar Galactica 4th Season Start Date, Episodes
The boys over at Collider have uncovered the start date for Battlestar Galactica’s fourth and final season: April 4th, 2008. And although the final season was scheduled to wrap up with 22 episodes (a full compliment for a network TV season), only 10 was finished and put in the can before the Writers Strike hit.
Battlestar Galactica Season 3 DVD Specs

They’re coming to a DVD shelf near you in the guise of Season 3 DVD, and here is your first look at the box art and specs for six-disk box set.

BSG’s Katee Sackhoff Lands on DVD with White Noise 2
You know, I’m such a big fan of Katee Sackhoff. Which is really odd, because when I first saw her on BSG, I wasn’t such a big fan at all. Then, her character just grew on me. Or was it Katee Sackhoff who grew on me? Either way, she’s such a great gal, and was, bar none, the single best thing about the recently canceled Bionic Woman TV show. It’s too bad they didn’t give the show to her instead of a no-name Brit who can barely act, but oh well. Her latest is the horror sequel “White Noise 2: The Light”, which she co-stars with Firefly’s Nathan Fillion.
Battlestar Galactica: Razor Teaser Trailer
Michelle Forbes and the crew of the Battlestar Pegasus returns to TV in a new two-hour original movie on the Sci Fi Channel in November, 2007. Here is your first look at the movie via a 30-second Teaser Trailer clip (scroll down below for it). Written by Michael Taylor and directed by Félix Enríquez Alcalá, “Razor” is a two-hour Battlestar Galactica special that tells the story of the Battlestar Pegasus several months prior to it finding the Galactica, as chronicled in Season 2 of the series. Besides the returning BSG regulars, the movie will focus on Michelle Forbes as Admiral Helena Cain and Stephanie Chaves-Jacobsen as Kendra Shaw.
