Two BSG Panels Set for Comic Con 2007

Thursday

11:45-12:45 Richard Hatch: Battlestar Galactica Forum—Richard Hatch (Tom Zarek/Capt Apollo), composer Bear McCreary, Dr. Kevin Grazier (BSG science consultant), and special surprise guests conduct a provocative and humorous discussion of Battlestar Galactica, both new and classic. Includes trailers, comic reel, and Q&A session. Room 6A

Isn't that the same group that was rather.....controvercial at last year's con?

Broken in half??? This mean we'll end up with a 4.0 and a 4.5 AGAIN. Is it really that hard to air 20 episodes without break?

The ratings for the show on skiffy have been really bad during the last season,

its also doing really bad on the British Sky-One channel, ratings of season 3 were so low they are think of puting re-runs of Stargate and Enterprise on to fill the prime time hours.

They even tried moving a show from Friday to Sunday night, but that didnt help much

Yep, but I may go to listen to Bear talk about the music of BSG. I could do with out Dr. Grazier. They are in one of the smaller room so there will not be to many folks there.

I don't suppose anybody knows if there is a transcript of the IGN on-set panel videos, do they, please? I'm on dial-up at home, and I made a special trip to use the library computer to watch them this morning, only to find out that the library doesn't have the latest version of Flash! I spent ages searching around for transcripts, but just kept finding the page with the actual video on!

"...And there's always the theme-park ride."

If only! That that would rule haha...As for the Caprica prequel, I'm not sure how that would work successfully if they do approve it. Prequels are tough to write convincingly IMO, but then again RDM might surprise us.

More impressively, NBC U cable skeins, including "The Starter Wife," "Battlestar Galactica" and "The 4400," made up eight of cable's top 10 primetime entertainment series in adults 25-54 during the first half of the year. (Discovery's "Planet Earth" drew boffo ratings but isn't counted as a series.)

The first original BSG novel - "The Cylons' Secret" by Craig Shaw Gardner - has finally been published in the UK. Picked up a copy in the Glasgow branch of Borders on Saturday evening.

Hasn't this been out for a while in the UK? I've had a copy for a long time...

Honestly? I dunno. I only spotted it last Saturday in the Glasgow branch of Borders.

What did you think about it BTW? I wasn't all that impressed to be perfectly honest.

I thought it was pretty bad. Not awful, but not great. Didn't feel like BSG for the most part. I wish I could say the next two get better, but... Still more believeable than the current comicbook storyline, though!
