Tube Bits for04/04/2008

It's Battlestar Galactica day today. Tonight is the premier of season 4, which starts at 10pm ET. I believe Sci Fi is also streaming the season 4 opener online beginning at noon today if you just can't wait. But, what if you're hoplessly out of touch but want to catch up quickly? Salon has the answer! They've posted a nicely detailed guide entitled: Everything you were afraid to ask about Battlestar Galactica. And yes, the ask a lot of questions and cover all the previous seasons.

Perhaps you just love spoilers and can't wait to find out if Starbuck is a Cylon or not. If so, then mosey on over to Amazon's Screening Room and listen their interview with Katee Sackhoff where she answers the question definitively. Thanks, but I think I'll wait.

NBC has released their list of new shows for the coming season. Included are a few genre-ish shows. They are: Knight Rider, My Own Worst Enemy - a Jekyll/Hyde story, and Merlin - follows Merlin and Arthur as young men (The Once and Future King anyone?). I have to say I am intrigued by Merlin. If it's anything like the first part of TOaFK, it could be really good. And Merlin has to live backwards in time, otherwise it's not quite as interesting. But probably easier to write.

Along with detailing their new shows, NBC also announced their plans to produce short webisodes for Heroes and Chuck. Apparently the resolution of the strike has freed the writers to work on these types of projects with the knowledge they will be compensated for them. In any case, it's nice to see a big network using the 'net to expand their offerings.

Thanks to Christian Wagner and his LiveJournal, we can bring you this early SF TV show, Captain Video!:
