I love BSG and miss it bunches. So thanks for the news.

#30: “However I don’t have a problem with the occasional article.”

Likewise. This site has become virtually my one-stop-shop for genre SF news, and I likes it just fine that way :)

Not to be accused of “Bitchin’ ” but I have to agree BSG has been over for a long time. However I don’t have a problem with the occasional article. I refuse to watch Caprica and their “lets milk this for as much cash as we can” movie “THE PLAN”.

#27: “God forbid we should ask audiences to think.”

BSG stopped asking audiences to think a couple of seasons in, when they started dumbing it down, turning characters into mouthpieces, replacing subtle metaphor with ham-handed “hurrr hey lookit I read the papers, hurrr ….” and throwing out plot in favor of gimmick exploitation.

PS: This is Anthony’s site and if he wants to write an article a week or day or month on BSG until the end of time…it’s his right. If you don’t want to read it, that then is your right. Otherwise, stop your bitchin’!

“Now, Dollhouse and True Blood! There’s a crossover *BEGGING* to be made. Anna Paquin and Eliza Dushku ramming each other with a double ended dildo while covering themselves in baby oil!”

You just lost all right to say anything intelligently or deeply critical…ever. If this is what you like on TV, then fine. But it’s based on this statement that I can see why you didn’t like (or should I say understand) BSG or Caprica. God forbid we should ask audiences to think.

You are the lowest common denominator to whom they’ve been trying to play to in TV for years. We’ve been lucky to get the little bit of quality programming we’ve gotten, in spite of folks like you.

As for DW and the Daleks. It’s not the first time and won’t be the last that a new Doctor launched by facing the Daleks. Hell, one of my fav Doctor’s, Patrick Troughton faced the Daleks in his first appearance. Sadly, that was lost to time and the idiocy of the BBC. I trust Moffat and agree with Ross, he’s earned a chance and he’s always had some of the best Doctor Who eps. I for one, cannot wait for this new incarnation!

I offer my services to Mr. Whedon – I know how I would “service” Summer…

JACK/SAM!!!!!!!!!! Ahem. I’m a bit nervous about the direction SGU is going in, but that provides much, much incentive for me to at least watch the first one.

That Fringe trailer is great. That show really grew on me as the season progressed. And the whole ‘Alternate Timeline’/Leonard Nimoy thing (complete with lens flares) make me wonder if there is going to be a very subtle Trek connection.

Rosario – Re: the cast additions for “Alice”:

I believe Bates plus Curry plus Meaney plus Winchester does *not* make THREE.

“There Are FOUR Cast Additions!!!”

(sorry)
