Is Starbuck The Worst Commanding Officer Ever?
Starbuck continues to make some weird command decisions, in this clip from tonight's Battlestar Galactica, "The Road Less Traveled," which just went up on Hulu. It's like Apollo slipped her some cubits to make his stint as commander of the Pegasus look great by comparison. But at least she's not about to elect a Cylon president, like we are. Oh, and the first 10 minutes of tonight's episode are streaming, every hour on the hour, at SciFi.com, from 9 to 4 EST. [Galactica Sitrep]

Is Battlestar Galactica Full Of Clues?
How many times do you watch every episode of Battlestar Galactica? The answer may depend, not just on how much you enjoy hearing Edward James Olmos' smoky rasp, but also on how eager you are to freeze-frame key moments every episode in search of clues. If you look hard enough, there are little details in recent BSG episodes that either give a crucial glimpse of where the saga is going — or they show that fans have an overactive imagination. Decide for yourself (with spoilers) after the jump. More »

Super-Fast Evolution Means Capricans Would be Hideous, Not Hot.
Brace yourselves, Battlestar fans: in real life Starbuck would probably be ugly as sin. Think more like a Ferengi, less like a supermodel. So would anyone else from the 12 Colonies, most likely. 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 »

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 »

Starbuck Freaks Out, And So Do We All

Starbuck And Six Go On Wine Drinking, Motorcyle Riding Romp
Tricia Helfer has posted some personal photos on her blog that show her with fellow Battlestar Galactica actress (and possible Cylon) Katee Sackhoff riding motorbikes through California's Santa Ynez wine country. Does this mean Starbuck and Six are forming a secret alliance that involves romantic trips and alcohol? Only time will tell. In fact, speaking of time, now that the strike is over, why aren't these two up in Vancouver filming the rest of the season? Maybe they've both been killed off the show in a suicide pact.

How To Tell When The Fans Are Killing Science Fiction
Science fiction fans are like the bacteria in your stomach: most of the time, they help to keep you healthy. But when the pH balance goes wrong, and the bacteria start running the show, they can make you sick. We've expressed our view that Star Trek deserves euthanasia partly because it inevitably caters too much to its obsessive fanbase. Here's a list of examples of too-powerful fans hastening the death of a franchise. More »

Bionic Baddie Vs. The Blogger
Just over a week ago at a Battlestar Galactica fan convention in Burbank, Katee "Starbuck" Sackhoff did a little over-sharing. According to LiveJournal user Roadrunner, she fired a few salvos at Bionic Woman, saying she wouldn't be back on the show even if it returned post-strike. Then she dissed the show and its low ratings a few times. Cue the internet snowball effect. USA Today picked up the story and ran with it, and now Katee is running damage control today on TV Guide, saying "It's sad because you want to connect with the fans, and then they throw it in your face in a negative light." Yeah, we're totally sad. More »
Take A Trip To New Caprica In Vancouver
Visitors to Vancouver can now join a tour group that takes them across the city's Battlestar Galactica filming locations. You can bet that a trip up to the Great White North will be a lot cheaper than finding something with faster-than-light drives on it.
