At the Caprica roundtables, we finally got to sit next to Ronald D. Moore. And we couldn't resist asking him: What was the deal with Starbuck at the end of Battlestar Galactica? Here's what he said. More »

It's not just Moff who's offering up crazy ideas about the end of Battlestar Galactica. With the show returning for its final episodes on Friday, let's look at some of our favorite (probably wrong) theories. More »

Apparently, Starbuck's gotten taller, or we've gotten a lot more breast-obsessed, going by this new Battlestar Galactica poster. And meanwhile, it turns out Felix Gaeta's sexual orientation isn't quite what you've heard. Spoilers ahead. More »

No, it is not a Battlestar Galactica spoiler if I tell you that there is an image of Starbuck and a bonfire in the "coming soon" scenes for the second part of "Revelations," the stunning episode that ended the first half of season 4 over a week ago. Though both parts of the episode were meant to be shown back-to-back, according to the writers, we're going to have to wait until 2009 to find out what happened to all those humans and cylons questing for Earth. But one thing we are pretty sure about — and that's the true meaning of Starbuck's bonfire. OK, now there will be spoilers ahead. More »

The reboot of gritty robot-apocalypse show Battlestar Galactica was a breathtaking revelation, with its complex characters and hard-edged political allegories. And we didn't miss any of the glitzy 1970s baggage that the show jettisoned. But over the past three and a half seasons, little bits of schlock have started clinging to the show like so many barnacles. Click through to vote for which one of these moments ruined the show forever. More »

As we anticipate tonight's episode of humans vs. robots show Battlestar Galactica with this preview clip, I have one hope. And that is that we'll get our old Starbuck back, the one who was a total badass and fought blonde amazon cylon Six on Caprica with her bare hands and repeatedly killed the cylon Leoben who imprisoned her. Remember that Starbuck? The one you thought Rambo could learn something from? (Light spoilers ahead.) More »

Starbuck continues to make some weird command decisions, in this clip from tonight's Battlestar Galactica, "The Road Less Traveled," which just went up on Hulu. It's like Apollo slipped her some cubits to make his stint as commander of the Pegasus look great by comparison. But at least she's not about to elect a Cylon president, like we are. Oh, and the first 10 minutes of tonight's episode are streaming, every hour on the hour, at SciFi.com, from 9 to 4 EST. [Galactica Sitrep] More »

How many times do you watch every episode of Battlestar Galactica? The answer may depend, not just on how much you enjoy hearing Edward James Olmos' smoky rasp, but also on how eager you are to freeze-frame key moments every episode in search of clues. If you look hard enough, there are little details in recent BSG episodes that either give a crucial glimpse of where the saga is going — or they show that fans have an overactive imagination. Decide for yourself (with spoilers) after the jump. More »

Brace yourselves, Battlestar fans: in real life Starbuck would probably be ugly as sin. Think more like a Ferengi, less like a supermodel. So would anyone else from the 12 Colonies, most likely. That's the implication of a new study of evolution here on Earth, which shows that natural selection can work at break-neck speeds. More »

Admiral Adama and Starbuck have their tensest moment yet, in this clip from tonight's all-new episode of Battlestar Galactica. It's not that spoilery if you've seen last week's episode — in a nutshell, the actions Starbuck took last week don't seem to have improved her situation at all. The new episode will be streaming online at Scifi.com starting at noon (I'm guessing EST) today, so you can watch it early if you're bored at work. We also have a gallery of BSG season four promo pics, a few of which we've featured before. More »

The more footage we see from Battlestar Galactica season four, the more excited we get. This new promo spot gives away some more developments from the new season, including a startling ultimatum from Starbuck and a problem with Anders.

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.

Science fiction fans are like the bacteria in your stomach: most of the time, they help to keep you healthy. But when the pH balance goes wrong, and the bacteria start running the show, they can make you sick. We've expressed our view that Star Trek deserves euthanasia partly because it inevitably caters too much to its obsessive fanbase. Here's a list of examples of too-powerful fans hastening the death of a franchise. More »

Just over a week ago at a Battlestar Galactica fan convention in Burbank, Katee "Starbuck" Sackhoff did a little over-sharing. According to LiveJournal user Roadrunner, she fired a few salvos at Bionic Woman, saying she wouldn't be back on the show even if it returned post-strike. Then she dissed the show and its low ratings a few times. Cue the internet snowball effect. USA Today picked up the story and ran with it, and now Katee is running damage control today on TV Guide, saying "It's sad because you want to connect with the fans, and then they throw it in your face in a negative light." Yeah, we're totally sad. More »

Visitors to Vancouver can now join a tour group that takes them across the city's Battlestar Galactica filming locations. You can bet that a trip up to the Great White North will be a lot cheaper than finding something with faster-than-light drives on it. More »
