We were looking forward to 17th Precinct, the fantasy cop show from Ronald D. Moore and his dream team cast of Battlestar Galactica alums, but sadly it never reached our screens. But now, the show about cops who use magic discs instead of guns, spells instead of forensics, and plants instead of electricity has finally appeared online — and now you can see for yourself. More »

Ronald D. Moore had a huge cult following long before he relaunched Battlestar Galactica. His work on Star Trek was notably awesome, and his very public departure from Voyager, complete with spot-on critiques of the show's failings, was legendary.

The Sci Fi Channel just released its first trailer for Caprica, the prequel to Battlestar Galactica that shows the origins of the Cylons. The trailer shows glimpses of some of the issues the show will raise: about cyber consciousness versus "real" consciousness, and faith versus the randomness of the universe. But watching the trailer, I couldn't help wishing it was an original series from Ron Moore and company — one which picks up a lot of the ideas from BSG, but doesn't stagger under the baggage of tying in with it.

Resident scifi hottie Clea DuVall has joined the cast of Battlestar Galactica producer Ronald D. Moore's new show Virtuality, about a crew in deep space who get hooked on virtual reality. DuVall will play the starship Phaeton's co-pilot and engineer. Also actor Jose Pablo Cantillo and Erik Jensen have been added to the crew. Cantillo will play the ship's mathematician and Jensen is cast as the navigator. DuVall gives great "troubled angry girl," so it'll be exciting to see how Moore uses her in his tale of the Earth's first starship on a 10 year mission to explore unknown space.

Tonight's the last episode of Battlestar Galactica until the "first quarter of 2009" (which could mean March!), but don't go into withdrawal symptoms yet. There's an obscure 1990s show called Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, which is currently in heavy rotation on Spike. It shares a lot of the same ideas and themes as BSG — which isn't surprising, since BSG re-creator Ronald D. Moore and two other BSG writers worked on DS9. A roundup of the DS9/BSG similarities — and how BSG is better — after the jump. With old spoilers. More »
