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. David Eick is already signed to work on a TV series based on P.D. James' Children Of Men, and Ron Moore is writing a prequel to The Thing and a TV movie called Virtuality. 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 »

Ron Moore Drags Us Back To The Holodeck
Battlestar Galactica producer Ron Moore is going back to his Star Trek roots for his next project, a "backdoor pilot" for Fox called Virtuality. Moore got his start writing for Star Trek: The Next Generation, which became notorious for its frequent episodes featuring the crew trapped inside a holographic simulation that got out of control. It was a cheap way to do a cowboy episode or a 1920s gangster episode. And now Moore's new show will revolve entirely around the crazed-holodeck storylines. More »

"Battlestar Galactica: Razor" Delivers Old-School Awesome
The entire fall season of SciFi Channel's acclaimed humans vs. cylons show Battlestar Galactica was contained in a two-hour "television event" called Razor. In a smart move, show creator Ron Moore takes this episode back to an intriguing era during season two of the show when Galactica discovered Battlestar Pegasus, commanded by tough-as-shit Admiral Cain. Razor gives us rich, fascinating backstory on Pegasus and its fascistic commander, while also offering a peek at the mysterious beginnings of Cylon experiments with human-Cylon hybrid beings.
