And he has three TV movies in development, including two which are definitely appearing — and any one of those could be picked up as ongoing series. Hollywood being what it is, some of Moore's projects will probably vanish into the murk of development. Which of Moore's pending masterpieces do you hope actually succeed? More »

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 »

Soon All Scifi Will Be Like Battlestar Galactica
Battlestar Galactica may have been more of a critical hit than a ratings smash, but its producers are getting ready to spread its science fiction recipe, mixing grit and soap opera, through a bunch of more high-profile venues.

And they're both working on the BSG prequel TV movie Caprica, and might be involved in a resulting series. But now, it turns out both creators will be much, much busier than that. More »

It turns out the genesis of the Cylons wasn't ambition or greed, but grief. (I'm assuming this isn't an April Fools thing, but you never know.) Click through for details.
