Support Your Candidate for Scifi President of the United States

It's just not an election season here in the United States — it's smartass t-shirt season. To celebrate the fact that fictional people and monsters would probably make better presidents than the real-life humans currently running, we've got a few choices for scifi presidential swag for you. First up is the lovely Firefly-themed "Reynolds/Washburn" ticket (that's the captain and pilot of the smuggler ship Serenity). Personally, we'd prefer Reynolds to run with his first officer Zoe Alleyne, but we'll go with this because their slogan is so good. Below we've got treats for those who are campaigning for Cthulhu or Battlestar's Admiral Adama. More »

A Major Showdown, From Tonight's Battlestar Galactica

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 »

Revealed: The Inspiration for Galactica's Greatest Painting

There's been speculation about that painting in Admiral Adama's quarters ever since BSG's first season. Humorist and sci-fi fiend John Hodgman, who wrote about the show for The New York Times Magazine, is obsessed with it, and the burned, broody painting has been dissected carefully on both BSG forums and Wikipedia. All of which made us wonder: What was the real-life inspiration for the 12 Colonies' last surviving piece of neo-classical battle art? A little digging unearthed a Renaissance classic. More »
