battlestar galactica

Sad news for fans of both the original, and rebooted Battlestar Galactica series, as actor and sci-fi icon Richard Hatch has passed away. The producer, writer and onetime soap opera star was 71.

Of all the series we'd never have expected to shake things up with a time jump, NBC's 'Parks and Recreation' went lightyears ahead in "Moving Up" to its sixth season finale last night. And while NBC hasn't confirmed the seventh season as its last, producer Mike Schur got on the horn to discuss the show's surprising fast-forward, including one very 'Mad' man cameo, and what it means for t

The events of 'Supernatural' season 8 finale "Sacrifice" sent a huge number of potential new characters hurtling from the sky, and it seems season 9 has tapped yet another 'Battlestar Galactica' star and all-around genre vet for the first of them. Tahmoh Penikett will appear in the October 8 premiere to kick off a multi-episode arc in season 9, but who might the star have fallen from gra

TNT's alien action-drama 'Falling Skies' won't air its third season until Sunday June 9, but already the acclaimed series has made a major change in anticipation of a fourth season pickup. Season 2 and 3 showrunner Remi Aubuchon will step down from the series, tasking former 'Battlestar Galactica' and fellow 'Caprica' showrunner David Eick to take his place, but will anything change for 'Falling S

Among Syfy's numerous pilot offerings for the 2013-14 pilot season, we're most excited to get a look at 'Helix,' a dark new sci-fi thriller executive produced by 'Battlestar Galactica' redux creator and show-runner Ron Moore. The hotly-anticipated new series has just given out its first teaser trailer, but is it as dark and unsettling as we've dreamed? Get a first look at Ron Moore's new Syfy thri

ScreenCrush is partnering up with sibling site GuySpeed for a weekly DVD giveaway. This week, we've got five (count 'em five!) copies of 'Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome -- UNRATED Edition' on Blu-ray combo pack.

We're still surprised AMC decided to revive controversial murder-mystery 'The Killing' for a third season at all, let alone that the Seattle-based drama has continued to add so many new regulars to the season. Following the major casting of Peter Sarsgaard as the season's villain and numerous other series regulars, 'The Killing' has now added 'Battlestar Galactica' vet Aaron Douglas and 'Flashpoin

Not only is The CW's 'Arrow' enjoying a bullseye of a first season both critically and commercially, but the gritty DC superhero series seems laser-focused on casting the iconic stars of cult sci-fi for guest roles. Recently 'Torchwood's John Barrowman emerged as a major villain, with upcoming turns from 'Fringe's Seth Gabel and 'Teen Wolf's Colton Haynes, but now 'Battllestar Galactica' veteran J

We've enjoyed having 'Battlestar Galactica' back in our lives with the Machinima mini-series 'Blood & Chrome,' but tomorrow that universe comes to a close once more as the web-series debuts its finale. The series will debut on Syfy next year as a feature-length presentation, followed by an unrated home release, but who wants to wait until then? Get your first look at the 'Battlestar Galactica:

Whether because we truly missed the franchise, or because we've been waiting since 2010 to see it, in its first two episodes 'Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome' has lived up to everything we expected it to be.  We have to imagine things will get even crazier when Syfy broadcasts the series in its entirety as a full-length movie next year, or even the unrated DVD release, but how would you l

Thank the gods! It's been a long time coming since we first heard news of another 'Battlestar Galactica' prequel being produced at Syfy, but especially arduous considering all the development and distribution trouble that prevented 'Blood & Chrome' from going to regular series. The day has finally arrived, as Machinima has premiered not just one, but the first two episodes of the new 10-part s

Frakkin' A, it's about time!  Since 2010 'Battlestar Galactica' fans have eagerly awaited news of the prequel series "Blood and Chrome," set to follow a young William Adama in the early days of the Cylon war.  Though shot, the pilot bounced around through various phases before Syfy finally decided to pass, dashing many a fan hope until now.  We've just learned that the series will in fac
