As the Internet continues to make significant strides in gaining respectability among mainstream media, more and more attention has been focused on the true power of the World Wide Web. Some of that power was felt just a couple weeks ago when Web-savvy viewers of the CBS series "Jericho" convinced the network they were not paying enough attention to how the show was being distributed through non-traditional means -- you know, the Internet -- and in the end, had vastly miscalculated the audience for the show. On top of that, the campaign to organize the "Save Jericho" campaign came almost...

In 2004, television producer Bryce Zabel (The Crow: Stairway to Heaven) and fellow producer J. Michael Straczynski (Babylon 5) had an idea to "reboot" Star Trek—an idea that ultimately never came to fruition, though it caught the attention of Trek fans. Since then, the news has emerged that Mission: Impossible III director J.J. Abrams is developing his own take on Star Trek for a proposed 11th film. And Zabel has chosen to post the 14-page treatment he and Straczynski developed on his own blog so that fans can finally get a look at the Trek that might have been. The...

The latest issue of DreamWatch features an interview with actor Richard Hatch, who played Captain Apollo in the original Battlestar Galactica TV Series and now plays Tom Zarek in the Galactica remake. Hatch talked about how he continues to feel that a continuation of the original series would have been just as successful as the Ronald D. Moore's re-imagining.

"A continuation would have evolved the original show: it would have updated the Cylons, brought new characters in and gone into equally provocative areas....

Here are a few excerpts from the update.

Moore wrote "When, finally, the people decided to end the long sojourn and settle on New Caprica,...

Tonight's the season finale for BSG. So time to get the thread going. Will Starbuck and crew escape? Will Pres. Rosalind keep her day job. And just what happened to that nuke that Baltar gave to #6? Damn, what to watch on Fridays? Need my BSG fix.

Tonight's Sci-Fi Listing.. A night of season finales! 8/7 - Stargate SG1 Camelot: SG-1 discovers the village of Camelot on an alien world, and must face Merlin's security system when they go in search of an Ancient weapon. Last week's episode was good.. It was good to see Vala.

Tonight's Sci-Fi Listing for 03/03/06: 8/7 - Stargate SG1 Crusade: Vala Mal Doran makes contact with Stargate Command from the Ori home galaxy, and tells the story of her life undercover in a village of followers building the Ori's invasion fleet. Last weeks episode was good. 9/8 - Stargate Atlantis Inferno: Sheppard's team meets a civilization about to be destroyed by a super-volcano, and is trapped there when the Stargate is destroyed during the evacuation.

Meanwhile, Mitchell and Carter are shifted to another dimension, making them invisible to everyone at the S.G.C. Last week's episode was good... I liked it how they made the French guy looked like a coward.. 9/8 - Stargate Atlantis Michael: An amnesiac young Lieutenant in Atlantis suffers from disturbing nightmares that he is a Wraith, only to make a shocking discovery about himself. Last week's episode was good.. I do like the Genii use of nuke weapons freely.. 10/9 Battlestar...

Yet another great episode. I particularly liked the scene where Adama and Roslyn were discussing abortion while just behind Roslyn was a number counting the remaining people in the fleet. I think it underscored the reality that abortion really does kill people. The fact that this subtle point was mentioned explicitly by Adama (in his usual classy way) was great. This take on abortion was really great and in my opinion very unusual for a TV show. It is clear that Roslyn wasn't pro life and it was interesting to see her forced to move to a different public position...

Tonight's Sci-Fi Listing: 8/7 - Stargate SG1 The Scourge: A tour of an off-world research base for a group of foreign diplomats turns dangerous when an insidious insect species gets loose. Last week's episode was good. I'm glad to see there is a gouald that is still roaming around.. Too bad that Nerus was killed.. 9/8 - Stargate Atlantis Coup D'etat: After a team from Atlantis goes missing, the expedition finds itself in the middle of a Genii coup. Last week's episode was ok.. Will someone shoot McKay or feed him to the Wraith... 10/9 - Battlestar Galactica The Captain's...

Anyone else find this to be another episode with parallels to today. There were some lines in it that sounded very familiar. Particularly the bit about not negotiating with terrorists. "Just give them what they want!" , "What if the terrorists are right?" sound like things we hear a lot these days. When i heard "Just give them what they want!" it really reminded me of the way people react to hostage takings in Iraq today. In fact I think Jill Carroll said the same thing in a video the same day this was aired. That is something that immediately...

Tonight's Sci - Fi Listing: 8/7 - Stargate Sg1 Off the Grid: SG-1 is captured on an alien world after a deal with the Lucian Alliance goes bad ... and the planet's Stargate goes missing.

Last weeks episode was ok.. Sheppard is the Captain Kirk of the Stargate Franchise. 10/9 - Battlestar Galactica Sacrifice: A woman who lost her husband to the Cylons takes...

Tonight's Sci-Fi Listing: 8/7 - Stargate SG1 Ethon: Daniel is imprisoned on a world under the influence of the Ori, and the Prometheus is caught in a firefight when SG-1 tries to rescue him. Last Weeks Episode was good.

Last Weeks Episode was good. I liked seeing Samatha Carter and I did like the sea...

I know it is early, but since I have meetings all day tomorrow I figure I post a day early.... 8/7 - Stargate SG1 Stronghold: Baal brainwashes members of the Jaffa High Council to thwart their move toward democracy. Cameron Mitchell faces a tough decision when he learns that an old friend is about to die. Last weeks episode was neat.. A room full of Carters would make my day.... 9/8 - Stargate Atlantis Grace Under Pressure: When Dr. McKay is trapped underwater in a sinking Puddle Jumper, he must rely on Samantha Carter for his survival. Last weeks episodes...

Ok did anyone else like tonight's Battlestar? This along with the episode where the media were cylon agents makes me wonder. There are clear parallels here between the peace faction and the anti war left. I especially liked the part where the peace group was created and directed by a cylon. The peace activist suicide bomber screaming peace as she detonated herself among innocent civilians reminded me of Michael Moore from team america.

Sorry for the delay, here is tonight's sci-fi listing: 8/7 - Stargate SG1: Ripple Effect - Multiple SG1 comes through the stargate. Note: Doc Frazier and Martouf appears in this episdoe. Last week was ok. 9/8 - Stargate Atlantis: Critical Mass - A beacon is set off to alert the presence of the Wraith. Last week was ok, however it did have the best quote: Malp on a stick 10/9 - Battlestar Galactica: EPIPHANIES - As President Roslin is about to die.. We are going to see President Adar (Basically a fool like the old one). Also there are traitors...
