Caprica is a slow show – but the last two episodes (5&6) especially this week’s episode There Is Another Sky really are helping to pick the show up.
The Greystone’s are now finally starting to build out the Cylon race – hurrah! since we suspect that Daniel Greystone is one of the final 6 cylons.

Darth Bane Dynasty of Evil is the third – and final book in the Darth Bane Trilogy. We’ve previously reviewed Darth Bane Path of Destruction (in 2006) and Darth Bane Rule of Two. The first two books were among the best Star Wars books ever written.
Dynasty of Evil is a good book – but it’s [...]
After 50 issues it’s over.
None of us will be getting Dark Horse Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic new issues ever again.
It’s kind of sad – and it marks the end of an era.
KOTOR never did truly live up to the fantastic plot of the video games and nearly every issue had a [...]
I don’t know what’s up with this trend for having women from SciFi shows posing in risque positions for men’s magazines.
The latest actress is Fringe’s Agent Olivia Dunham – played by actress Anna Torv.
In this month’s esquire she got a whole spread of topless pics – while wearing mens thermal underwear.
Why? is it really that [...]
We really miss Star Trek The Next Generation – there really isn’t a SciFi show on TV now that even comes close.
Today one of the top stories on Digg was a mashup video of some TNG goodness.
Yes the ‘words’ are taken out of context – but not always.
And oh yeah there is a full 2 [...]
We’re still figuring out Caprica – and Zoe Greystone played by actress Alexxandra Torresani.
Torresani managed to find the time to pose for Maxim – in some of the most airbrushed pics we’ve ever seen. It’s not clear how much is actually the actress and how much is just photoshop.
Still – they’re great pics – though [...] Third episode of Caprica – gives us more insight into the mysterious Soliders of the One (STO) – and their leader.
ALPHA
Is Alpha a Cylon? of course he is, because Daniel Greystone is a cylon one of the final 5 or final 7 – the missing link that Battlestar Galactica never showed us — though [...]
We normally don’t watch Smallville
- actually we never do and this is the first time in five years of this site that we’ve ever written about the show.
But tonight’s episode was a little different.
Michael Shanks – best known as Dr. Daniel Jackson on Stargate – joined the Smallville cast as Hawkman!
To say he was an [...]
So at long last Olivia know has the power to see things from the other side…

She finally knows that Peter doesn’t belong.

Star Trek Online is now out but it’s not all that cheap to play— though the gameplay is sweet.
Amazon has the game for just under $50 -which is not bad BUT be warned fellow MMORG newbies – you need to pay a monthly fee too.
In all that monthly fee – even at the best current [...] Finally!! the first ‘real’ episode of Caprica – after the pilot movie. Rebirth was an interesting episode on many different levels — though it lacked the intensity of the pilot.
How could Daniel Greystone not put 1+1 together to see that the prototype cylon had the Zoey Avatar in it?
That aside it was cool to [...]
