Jamie Bamber dislike the SciFi channel

In a recent interview from the Daily Dragon Jamie Bamber from Battlestar Galactica says that he strongly dislike that the show is on SciFi.

DD: The downside of science fiction is that it's often categorized as a "marginal" genre. Battlestar Galactica is by far one of the best, if not the best show on television and yet doesn't have the ratings of a more mainstream series like The Sopranos. Do you find it frustrating that some people might not watch the show simply because of the label "science fiction"?

JB: Yes, of course I do. I really believe in the show. I believe in the stories we're telling. I believe that they're great characters, and it's great entertainment, too. So yeah, it's frustrating that we do have that stigma attached to us. The fact that we can call it a genre says it all, really; it's not just people, as a drama, as a series; it has to be characters. I think that's a problem that science fiction has that it will always marginalize itself by calling itself SF. It's unfortunate that we're on the SCIFI channel; we can't even get away from it. We couldn't brand the show as anything else because of the network we're on.

I also think that we're a grown-up show that demands something from the audience. And audiences, by and large, don't want to be demanded anything of. They want escapist entertainment, and that's why movies like Syriana don't do as well as movies like Spiderman 3.

That's the truth. If you're going to make grown-up shows that challenge people, then only a few people are actually going to be appalled.

Sad but true.

Rumour: Final Season to be split?

The final season of Battlestar Galactica will be divided up into two ten episode seasons, one to air in 2008, and the other in 2009.

At least that’s what the nasty rumour going around since the annual Dragoncon convention was held says. The rumour started when several actors complained about SciFi’s lack of ability to properly handle genuine hit programming by revealing that the SciFi channel plans to cut the final season of Battlestar Galactica into two parts.

Nothing is official yet and SciFi hasn’t denied or confirmed this rumour.

No Battlestar Galactica on iTunes

You have probably all heard the rumors. And now it has been confirmed. Battlestar Galactica will no longer be solded on iTunes.

The reason to this is that NBC and Apple can't decide on the price for the different TV shows. NBC want's to set a higher price tag for newer TV shows and a lower price for older shows. But as Apple only accept one price for every video no matter how old or how new it is.

So will you be able to download the latest and older episodes of Battlestar Galactica? Well, yes, to an extent. If you live in the USA you will be able to download the episodes from Amazon.com. You also need to run a computer that has Windows XP or Vista on it.

I personally think this is just another big, dumb and greedy mistake from NBC...

Brand new blog design!

It's finally here, and in time to the DVD release of Battlestar Galactica season 3, our brand new blog design! What do you think?

It's still a few things left that needs to be done so it's not 100% finished. If you find any bugs or things that doesn't look like they should, please tell us.

Update: Yes, I know that the design look frak-crappy in Internet Explorer 6. But I won't fix that. It's not my fault. You should update your browser to IE7, Opera or Firefox.

Vote on the DVD cover for Razor

SciFi lets you vote on which cover you want the two hour long, unrated extended edition of Razor to use. It has three different versions you can vote on (see above image). They all look great but I personally like cover “B” the most...

After you have voted you will be able to see an exclusive video clip from Razor which premieres on Saturday November 24. But, yes there is a “but”. If you live outside the USA and Canada you will not be able to watch the video clip. Yes, that’s just stupidity.

King-Size DVD in Works for 'Battlestar Galactica'

NBC Universal Media is planning an extended-edition DVD to accompany Sci Fi Channel's upcoming "Battlestar Galactica" two-hour extended episode airing this fall.

To help build anticipation for the return of the series in early 2008, the studio will release a DVD version of the self-contained episode that includes about 15 minutes of original material -- perhaps more, depending on the final cut. The episode will air in November.

Campbell Begs For Battlestar Role

Bonnie Hammer, president of USA Network and SCI FI Channel, told reporters that The 4400 star Billy Campbell approached her after the network's upfront advertising presentation in New York last month and begged her for a role in the final season of Battlestar Galactica.

"He literally assaulted me, trying to do whatever he possibly could to bribe me to have me bribe [executive producers] Ron [Moore] and David [Eick] to create a character arc inside Battlestar Galactica," Hammer said in a press conference during SCI FI Channel's digital press tour in Vancouver, Canada, on June 26. "That is the only show he ever wanted to be in. That is the only show he would do for free. Billy Campbell, literally, saying, 'Give me an arc, any kind of arc, in Battlestar Galactica, please.' And it was very hard to get away from."

At the same press conference, SCI FI's executive vice president, original programming, Mark Stern, confirmed that the producers of the show are trying to work Campbell into the show.

"Actually, I think we're trying to figure that out," Stern said. "And the free part was really great. Although I don't know if his agent really liked that. But we were like, 'OK, we can do that.'"

Hammer added: "I had witnesses, too."

Battlestar Galactica (2007 DVD movie)

A Battlestar Galactica movie will be released at the end of this year. This is what we know about the movie so far.

At the moment the upcoming television film is called Razor. The name will probably change later on.

According to Ronald D. Moore, "It's a storyline that delves into the Battlestar Pegasus quite a bit - back to the beginning, seeing the Cylon attack, what happens to Pegasus during the Cylon attack, and events that were talked about in backstories when those episodes were originally broadcast. It moves through time actually, sequentially. You get up to the point where Lee Adama is in command of Pegasus and then you start dealing with his first mission as commander of the Pegasus. Eventually things that are said and done in "Razor" set up certain things that happen in the fourth season."

Razor is expected to be two hours long and will actually contain some homosexuality for a change. Razor will be written by Michael Taylor and shooting started in May 2007. The shooting of Season 4 will start in June.

Sorry! Blame it on the cylon!

We are very sorry. But our webhost, the one that hosts our images and design elements for this Battlestar Galactica blog is currently down. I have no idea when the server will be back up again. But hopefully asap.

Under the meantime we must use this crappy blog template. Oh well, blame it on the cylon next to you!

Update: And now we are back up running again!

Update 2: Ahhh, can you feel it? No more hosting problems. We are now sponsored by ArcadeStunt. Go on, go play some free games.

Dylan is a Cylon

After his song "All Along The Watchtower" was used in the final episode, to summon the 4 of the last 5 Cylons, people began to question how to interpret Dylan and BSG Universe. Is there a Dylan in BSG Universe too Is there a direct connection to Earth? or is it just a ethereal source that inspired two song-writers in two universes?

I have my shot at answering all these questions. I think Dylan the 5th final Cylon, used as the model for the hybrid. It is well known that hybrids are the first step from the Centurions into humanoids, and it is highly likely that the Christian interpretation of God creating humans as a model of himself would be referenced here, and the first Cylon-Human would be modeled after the Cylon God.

Dylan himself is known to utter like the Hybrids, here is a mix of lyrics out of Blonde on Blonde:

"The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face. And punched my cigarette. Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit. In the empty lot where the ladies play blind man's bluff with the key chain. The one was Texas medicine. Upon the street where mothers weep. The cracked bells and washed-out horns. You can tell by the way she smiles. The silver saxophones say I should refuse you. The drunken politician leaps. Well, I return to the Queen of Spades.He spoke to me, I took his flute. He just smoked my eyelids. Now the rainman gave me two cures. But Mona Lisa musta' had the highway blues. The other was just railroad gin. Blow into my face with scorn."

Sounds just like a hybrid, doesn't it?
