pre-packing fall geek show update
The Sci-Fi Channel has announced upcoming season 4 of Battlestar Galactica will be its last:
"Galactica" will kick off in November with "Razor," an extended two-hour episode, with the rest of the season slated to run beginning in early 2008.
This is good and bad news for me. I'm glad they won't be stringing along storylines and leaving questions unanswered episode after episode like in Lost. They're trying to get somewhere and it makes sense that they'll hopefully achieve their goal in reaching Earth. But it's sad such a good show has to end.
Geek tip from Chris at BoysBriefs: A limited run six-episode Heroes spinoff, Heroes: Origins, will introduce a new character each week. At the end of the run you vote for your favorite Hero, a la American Idol.
The democratically elected character will then be added to the sci-fi drama as a regular the following year. In other words, think of this as a paranormal version of American Idol.
More proof Kylie likes Dr. Who and is a wannabe Cybergirl:
Geekery research by Kutari Prime who notes that Kylie is dressed like a Movellan Princess circa Tom baker era in the clip. Listen closely for Cybermen creator quotes.
More woofy baseball players, because it's almost summer. Geoff Jenkins of the Milwaukee Brewers:
It's amazing how inspired I am to blog when I have a whole house to pack today. I'll be away from the Internets for a while until Verizon comes to my rescue, which could be weeks, even months. Have a good summer!

I'm actually kind of relieved that season 4 is it for BSG. I thought the last season was really mediocre - no pacing, and a sense that writers were just making crap up week by week. I would like it to come to an end while it's actually watchable, not get so awful that we all give up on it.
That first miniseries and two seasons are just so good. Makes you wonder what happened.

Its easier to deal with a Dalek than Verizon

Geoff looks like a slimmer version of Brett Favre!

I saw that Battlestar news earlier. It's a sad day for geeks... but agreed, I'm glad they aren't dragging it out.

Good luck with move.
Thanks for woofy shots, although I will miss your pics the most.
Good luck in the new hood and with the new neighbors. Some soccer player pics might be appreciated after you get back on line.
Just sayin-

That's awesome you love Kylie too! I can't get enough of her when that lalala song came out, that was like my anthem at the dormitories.
I like this performance better at the original Showgirl tour though with this version, the choreograpy can be seen wayyy easier.
Good luck with the move!

Where else on these internettubes can one find the confluence of Kylie, BSG, Dr. Who, and woofy baseball players? Made my afternoon!
Good luck on the move -- blog again soon, Verizon willing!

I just found your blog randomly through the kilt picture a few post back and just want to let you know it's interesting, especially since i have been on a doctor who binge lately, and have the same taste for the scruffy.
