• Vince Horiuchi at The Salt Lake Tribune takes a look at the current state of SF on TV and says it's as vacuous as space. He correctly points out that now that Galactica is over, the only other SF series that a lot of fans care about is LOST. He wonders when the next great SF TV show air. He then goes off the rails by claiming Babylon 5 is a 'sub-par' series. Sorry Vince. Seasons 2 - 4 are some of the best SF you'll ever see on TV and it is still the best SF series ever on TV.
• Ron Moore talks about Galactica's finale (he's pleased with it, but why wouldn't he be?), Starbuck's fate (it was intentionally created to be vague), and the eventual DVD version (more flashbacks thus proving my contention they should have happened in the first few season, and some deleted scenes.) You can be he'll milk this for all it's worth.
• Eureka's Salli Richardson (Allison Blake) talks with Sci Fi Wire about the upcoming season 3.5. Eureka is one of the few SF shows I look forward to seeing, but as the commentors point out, a ten month break is stupid. It's like Sci Fi doesn't care about it's SF viewers....
• Good news for all you Quantum Leap fans: NBC has put the first 11 QL episodes online as part of their Vintage Shows Online series. You can find them here. Now you can see Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell in their pre-Enterprise and pre-Galactica days.
• And speaking of old shows appearing online, Hulu is now streaming Season 1 of Stargate: SG-1. I never really got into that show, but maybe it's time I took a second look, and with a 'PG' rating, it's even sort of family friendly! Here's the pilot:
