Spin, false hope, Woody? Who knows. But it's better than "yea, were done."


Is in case of emergency being kept on? 'cause that show sucks, Knights was pretty good though.

They tried too hard to recreate the buzz from the hundred "S***"s episode from a few years back...

‘I am dead as far as I know,” Katee Sackoff claims in her first interview following Kara “Starbuck” Thrace’s apparent demise on Sunday's “Battlestar Galactica.”
She also tells KUFO-FM’s Cort and Fatboy that she’s shooting a pilot for NBC, so she might not even be all that available even for “Galactica” flashbacks if that pilot goes to series.

“I did sign a six-year contract,” she mentions at one point. “Galactica” is an NBC/Universal show just completing its third season.

She also says she plays Starbuck at least one more time – on Seth Green’s “Robot Chicken.”

We also learn she knows other curses besides “frak.”

Plugs “Fatboy”:


From AICN.

I'm going to go do some housework and listen to the Maelstrom podcast (I'm such a glutton for punishment) - supposedly Moore lets on a bit more - in other words, he probably explains the point and will make me angry that what he describes didn't make it into the series.

The one thing the above quote answers for me was whether or not she was the one who won't resign for season 3. That leaves who? Roslyn and Pappy Adama. I'd bet everyone else (like Sackoff) was made to sign long contracts, being relative unknowns.

Jamie Bamber had a nice little cult following due to his performance on the A&E hornblower series (most of the guys on that show have a cult following, like that Ioan Gruffurd fellow, and sadly my girlfriend is part of these cults) and he's done a couple CBS guest appearances recently, cold case and the ghost whisperer...i wouldn't be surprised if he wanted out.

As a nobody, though - I suspect NBC/Universal didn't give him much room to negotiate the length of his contract - that's why I'm guessing it's one of the two people who had careers already.

Tivo + Amazon bring you... Unbox

The Amazon Unbox video downloads store has thousands of DVD-quality TV shows, movies, and more for you to purchase or rent. You can search for Unbox videos anywhere on Amazon.com or you can go directly to our store at http://www.amazon.com/unbox/ and browse by TV channel, movie studio, category, or genre.
You can also discover new and interesting videos by watching previews. You will find a player at the top of the Unbox store which shows previews of our most popular videos. If you'd like to watch a preview of a specific movie or TV show, you'll also find a preview player located at the top of the detail page for that video.


TV shows seem to start at around $1.99 an episode (heros is not on there) and rentable movies seem to go for $3.99 and full purchase ranges from $9.99 and up. interesting... my Xbox360 does this except in HD.

Still a little pricey, but good progress.

The show is 50/50 to return in the fall. Coming back will depend on two things. Is Ray Romano interested in being involved? How the pilots look and what series ABC wants for the fall.

If you want to help save the show, you can go to ABC.com and under "contact us" drop them a note saying you miss the show. Those involved will appreciate it.

I just listened to this. Didn't really clear up anything, just reminded me that I don't generally like actors as people.

What are peoples thoughts on Jericho this week? Very blah episode overall, I am really bored already with the Roger storyline. The ending was very interesting. Did she not kill Hawkins because she liked him?
