Back in November, our intern Naamen Tilahun asked a bunch of people waiting to see a screening of Battlestar Galactica: Razor how the Cylons would convert people to their religion (Cylonics? Cylonianity?) and this is what they said. More »

But otherwise, the super-powered chick roles have nothing in common, she insists. Minor spoiler: More »
