Apollo 18, or Blair Witch meets The Moon

Finally! A movie I want to see....
Some New Battlestar Galactica Arcana Comes to Light

As disappointed as I ultimately was in the finale of Battlestar Galactica, I still maintain that it is one of the finest shows I have seen on television, and of the science fiction genre it is the best bar none....
Talking to your kids about Star Wars

A helpful service announcement to help parents deal with the inevitable day your kid asks, "is Darth Vader Luke's father" and other essential quandaries, like do you show your kids the original theatrical version or the Special Edition? Which do...
Star Trek Tik Tok Mash-up

Some total fluff to help you finish off your Friday: (via kottke of course)...
Vintage Star Wars Travel Posters

From the desk of Justin van Genderen, a collection of beautiful, vintage-esque travel posters for the Star Wars universe: Yes, two tickets to Bespin please. See the entire series in Justin's Flickr photostream. (via Drawn to i09 to me)...
Ruminating and dissing on BSG's "The Plan"

I think what I miss most about "Battlestar Galactica" is talking about Battlestar Galactica. Luckily "The Plan" and the now airing Caprica has given me a few more opportunities to join my friends on the Galactica Quorum to do exactly...
Amazing Star Wars Miniatures

Two things caught my eye this week. Is it a coincidence they were both Star Wars related? I think not. First up, a simply staggering recreation of Echo Base in LEGO. The complex required well over 20,000 lego tiles and...
Han Solo P.I.

As required by section 39 paragraph b of the Star Wars blogger fan code, I am obliged to reblog the following which made its rounds today: Thank you @calden and @markthink....
Trailer: Where the Wild Things Are

I don't think I have ever met someone who did not read Where the Wild Things Are as a child. Naturally, I read it to Harper. It was one of those occasional books that he insisted on reading every...
Revelations in Battlestar Galactica

Disclaimer: this post contains spoilers. While everyone else is no doubt talking about the season premiere of Lost, I want to talk about something that since its airing, a number of friends have asked that I comment on and write...
Will someone please pass me the hydrospanner?

Thanks to my friend and brother in-law Erik who always manages to send me the best Star Wars links in the world. This time he sent me to a site featuring a do-it-yourself, cut-out of the Millennium Falcon created and...
Sharing more theories on Galactica Quorum

If you haven't figured it out by now, I am a huge fan of Battlestar Galactica. Between episodes I get my BSG fix from a number of different podcasts out there, mainly Ron Moore's podcast and most recently the Galatica...
Who Baltar might really be

There is rekindled speculation about who the fifth cylon might be in Battlestar Galactica now that the series has finally returned for its fourth and final season. The season premiere gave me new reasons to believe that the hunch I...
Battlestar Season 4 Cast Photos

Arin has Pink, I have io9 -- which my friend pointed out is "Go!" upside-down. Anyways, today on my favorite Gawker blog I saw the new BSG Season 4 cast photos. Now normally I would just add something like this...
Decoding BSG's Last Supper

Entertainment Weekly just released an issue featuring a two page tableau and poster made for the fourth and final season of Battlestar Galactica. The image purportedly contains clues to the secrets season four promises to reveal. Arin and I always...
I Am Legend

For my birthday Arin took me to see I Am Legend. In my old age whenever I see a blockbuster that has the Hollywood hype machine behind I fear that the movie will suck, as they frequently do. Because ever...
A Better Galactica Podcast

Last year I was on the hunt for a good Battlestar Galactica podcast. The selection was not the best in the world - not in grand scheme of podcasts, but there was one that stood out from the rest. Galactica...
Cool Paper Engineering

This year for my birthday, Harper hit a home run when he purchased one of the coolest pop-up books I have ever laid my eyes on. The thickness of the book as a ratio to the number of pages I...
I'm on Galactica Watercooler!

Not satisfied with watching Battlestar Galactica once on Friday, sometimes a second time on Sunday, and then listening to Ron Moore's podcast on Monday on my way to work, I took it upon myself to scour the Internet for additional...
"Agile Story Development"

My job immerses me in the world that has helped popularize the concept of “Agile Software Development” among software development teams. The premise of Agile development practices encourages product development teams to think big, but build small. In other words,...
Oh Firefly, why do you have to be so good?

My guilty and nerdy pleasure for the past two weeks has been staying up hacking on Test Run and watching Firefly. So how many times can I watch this series? Let's see: Once to simply watch the series all the...
Baltar is a Cyclon

For a while I just thought Dr. Balter was either crazy and delusional, or that the Cylons had emplanted something in his brain to give him the visions of Six. I accepted that because in Science Fiction, you are often...
Serenity Now!

For those who know me, they know that I am a connesiuer of science fiction television. There are few sci-fi shows on television that are genuinely good. Sure Star Trek is fun, and I have enjoyed it for the most...
