Battlestar Galactica To Have A Gloomy Ending Says Olmos. Duh! Says World
Sci Fi Now magazine has an upcoming exclusive interview with Edward James Olmos, Commander Adama, on the world's best Sci Fi Show* Battlestar Galactica. The actor spilled some beans, apparently, although not all the beans, when he mentioned that the four year saga of BSG will not end well for all concerned. Given the rather downbeat nature of the show, this doesn't come as much of a shock to fans. Says Sci Fi Now: "It's not a happy ending, we end up with almost nothing," the 61-year-old actor...
The Golden Age : Classics Of Sci Fi (part 4) The Space Merchants
THE SPACE MERCHANTS (1953) by Frederick Pohl and Cyril Kornbluth The Space Merchants is essentially a parable on modern life and on the invasive and pervasive effects of advertising on the modern mind, the way it creates wants and needs within us, and also the way it separates us into haves and have nots. Relevant and stinging (if not downright revolutionary) fifty years ago, it's stunning just how applicable its 'them and us' theme applies to today's society. It is perhaps even more damning...
Batman Goes Manga!
In what looks like a very similar experiment to the Animatrix series, the people behind Batman Begins and The Dark Knight have commissioned a series of anime to track the journey of Bruce Wayne from one film to the next - and the results seem, at first glance, to be about as cool as cool can get. It's called Batman Gotham Knight, and will be soonishly available on DVD and Blu-ray. In Oz, we can get it July 2. Here's the official WB trailer. Try to remain continent. Batman Gotham Knight...
Who Ya Gonna Call?
Fans of 80's supernatural comedies know the answer to that - Ghostbusters! With the strains of Ray Parker Jr's epic song running through your brain, get ready to welcome the digital rebirth of a legend. Apparently the Ghostbusters couldn't quite salvage the cash for yet another feature film after selling the ECTO-1 on eBay, and so decided to make their return to popular culture via the ever -popular 'game' genre, don't you know. Apparently it's what all the young people are playing. Here...
Space:1999 Opening Credits
Sometimes the melding of late seventies special effects and porno music is so compelling it defies description. For many, this will be a trip down memory lane. for others, it will be yet another WTF moment on SCI FI PI. It's one of our most requested golden oldies to put on air on SCI FI. It's the glory that is Martin Laundau and Barbara Bain, hurled across space in an orbitless moon by that evil genius Gerry (Thunderbirds) Anderson. The glamour of Science Fiction, 1975 style. Enjoy! Season...

One of the mainstays of the Australian Sci Fi convention scene, Best of Both Worlds (or BOBW for short) has announced its final list of guests attending their July 4 to 6 convention at the Pacific International Suites in Parramatta.

Joss Whedon, Jj Abrams And The Terminator Are The Way Of The Future
Recent global TV presales in Hollywood have confirmed that the future for Science Fiction on the small screen is rosy.

Here are just some. Joss Whedon (Buffy, Firefly) has had great response to his Dollhouse, which Fox has seen fit not to invest in a pilot, but go straight to series....
Stargate:atlantis - A Day At The Office
Walking around Bright Lights Studios in Vancouver you quickly understand the massive scale of production that a major Sci Fi TV show requires to get to air. 9/10ths of the entire studio are currently turned over to Stargate:Atlantis, and with a combination of permanent and 'swing' sets on several massive sound stages, the sounds of activity are constant. One day an 'indoor' forest will exist next to a village, the next day a spaceship will spring into existence. Sets are Just the Tip of the...
