Caprica / More BSG Coming

Posted May 19, 2008 by Bryan in Television

Despite this being Battlestar Galactica’s final season, things are gearing up to ensure we’ll still get our colonial fix for some time to come.

Various online outlets reported over the weekend that Sci-Fi has requested THREE BSG telefilms. The Battlestar production team says that they are focusing on finishing the current season, and will produce the TV movies once they are done. No word yet on storylines or air dates. The producers say they must first see who is available given that many on the cast have lined up new work once the show wraps. It is likely these telefilms will be like Razor, and take place before the show’s finale.

Also, Battlestar’s prequel spin-off Caprica has been casting away. Eric Stoltz (Pulp Fiction) will play Daniel Graystone while Esai Morales (Jericho), will play Bill Adama’s father (and Lee’s Grandfather) Joseph Adama. Each of them is the patriarch of two well known families living on Caprica 50 years before the Cylon attack seen that obliterates the planet.

REVIEW: Quantum of Solace

So I love Bond films. Love ‘em. So of course I was gonna check out Quantum of Solace opening night. I was impressed with Craig as the new face of 007 in Casino Royale and I wasn’t disappointed this time around. Craig may not be as sophisticated as Connery (who is?), and definitely not as pompous as Moore. Certainly not as mainstream as Brosnan, but he is definitely an action guy, and I can tell you that that has long been missing in Bond films. Too many episodes in the Bond franchise have been all too dependent on gadgets to get Bond out of jams. Or worse, horribly designed action scenes, particularly in hand-hand combat which made you wonder just how lethal Bond really is as a secret agent. His small Walter PPK pistol was meant to be a great visual device to show you that he didn’t need a big gun because he’s a one man killing machine, but too many Bond performances made it hard to truly believe that. Well not in QoS. Not by a long shot! Remember, the series was basically rebooted in the last film, where we saw Bond gain his 00 status and have his first real mission. So it is only natural that Craig, this young Bond, is raw, in your face, edgy, and above all ruthless in how he pursues his enemies. (More...)
