(And meanwhile, it looks like Sci Fi is also featuring the cable premiere of Uwe Boll's Bloodrayne II: Deliverance on Saturday night. Wha?)

Wear Your Battlestar On Your Sleeve

With only days remaining before Battlestar Galactica returns to blow all of your "fracking" minds, there's only one way of showing your love for Bob Dylan's favorite science fiction television show. And it involves pledging your chest's allegiance to an anti-hero with a name that sounds like a character from Planet of The Apes. More »
