Even though his sex drive basically doomed the entire human race on Battlestar Galactica, you have to admit Gaius Baltar had one gorgeous bachelor pad. And for a mere 4,300 a month, you can rent it out too! More »

Not content with giving us the first Battlestar Galactica spin-off with an all-new cast of characters, the comic book versions of SciFi Channel's hit depressathon continue to give us what the SciFi Channel can't: worthwhile spin-offs to the show. While we wait to see whether Caprica will be as much dull soap opera as origin of the Cylons, the comic book brings us Cylon War. More »

Mojo, who does effects work on bots vs. human show Battlestar Galactica, has just posted a gorgeous set of photographs that designers used to create the look of the all-metal Centurion cylons for the new show. Here you can see a cool "smackdown" picture of an old-school cylon (featured in Razor flashbacks) going head-to-head with a new-school one. What's interesting to me, looking at these real-life models for creatures who are pure CGI in the show, is how much they're intended resemble Roman soldiers. They even have butt-covering chain mail!

Tricia Helfer has posted some personal photos on her blog that show her with fellow Battlestar Galactica actress (and possible Cylon) Katee Sackhoff riding motorbikes through California's Santa Ynez wine country. Does this mean Starbuck and Six are forming a secret alliance that involves romantic trips and alcohol? Only time will tell. In fact, speaking of time, now that the strike is over, why aren't these two up in Vancouver filming the rest of the season? Maybe they've both been killed off the show in a suicide pact.

Tricia Helfer, the human side of Cylon Number Six, is doing a charity event for kitten rescue by auctioning off an uncut sheet of Battlestar Galactica cards that have been signed by just about every actor to appear on the show. In fact, it wouldn't be surprising if some random background character had signed one of these. More »

Science fiction doesn't just give us the best machines; it also gives the best sex as well. After all, if the future is full of anti-gravity lifts and teleportation, just think how far the porno industry will evolve. Scifi isn't just about human sex either: you can get it on with aliens, clones, and even machines. Star Trek's Data was a "fully functional" android, and gave some robo-lovin' to the frigid Tasha Yar (and the Borg queen!) from time to time. After the jump, our list of the best science fiction sex scenes to get you through hump day. More »
