The picture that a year ago was an Internet sensation from our favorite sci-fi drama Battlestar Galactica (get the theme of the blog this week yet??)... Jamie Bamber as Lee "Apollo" Adama!  This photo is a recreation of a moment on the show when Apollo was caught coming out from the shower in the barracks with only a towel. Enjoy and savor... and see the show's 4th and final season starting April 4th!

This really funny rendering in Lego figures of what could happen if Battlestar Galactica reaches Earth came to my attention when I was looking for BSG promos for Season 4! It deserves its own entry! There is some language content here (a lot of use of the word "bitch") so be careful around the kids! Enjoy!

In December 2003, Ronald D. Moore and David Eick took on a science fiction sacred cow and recreated it into a TV miniseries and later a brand new cable TV series. Battlestar Galactica was resurrected from its 1978 - 1979 grave and given a new look. Many thought the "recreation" would suck and die hard fans thought it would do a disservice to the original Lorne Greene helmed show. They were wrong. The show became the most popular Sci-Fi Channel original series ever, established itself as a Peabody and Emmy winning show, and built a following that allowed it to become a major seller on the DVD market. It was never a powerhouse show that had people watching and thinking about it like say ABC's Lost, but it was a show that truly took on the idea of genocide, war, technology, and the idea of being human like no other sci-fi show before it.

This year is it's last season. I hope you will all will join me April 4th, 2008 in watching and rewatching one of the best TV shows of the last 10 years (if not 20 years!) in its final bow.
