The Cylons' Origins May Remain A Mystery
Remember Caprica, the Battlestar Galactica prequel that Ron Moore was working on? Moore and co. shot a pilot months ago, and we were supposed to hear by September whether it would become a series. Sci Fi had planned to air the pilot as a TV movie in December, but scrapped the idea. Now the pilot may not air until after the last BSG episode — and maybe not even then. [TV Guide]

Warehouse 13
It's X-Files Meets Eureka... In A Warehouse! But It May Be Good Anyway.
The Sci Fi Channel is gearing up to produce another 11 hours of its fledgling spooky-warehouse series, Warehouse 13, in addition to the previously shot pilot. Which still begs the question: now that the pilot for the Battlestar Galactica prequel, Caprica, has been in the can for months, when will Sci Fi make a decision on greenlighting a Caprica series? The longer Sci Fi's radio silence on Caprica goes on, the less optimistic we're feeling. But on the plus side, Warehouse sounds intriguing, and it's just hired some seasoned genre veterans to write the show. More » -
