She was a guest of Supanova in Sydney at The Dome on June 16-17, and she'll be in to Perth, at the Claremont Showgrounds, June 23-24. If you didn't know that she is Six in what is generally regarded as the best Sci Fi TV series ever made, the revamped Battlestar Galactica, then you may not be as excited as your usual Sci Fi fan, and frankly, I'm a little disappointed in you. Tricia has guest-starred on Human...

Meet Michael Fassbender’s 'David’ - The Android in ‘Prometheus’.
The first 17 minutes of Prometheus has been show to journalists in the US, and all sorts of information is coming out (some of which you can read here in this feature ). One of the more intriguing aspects was the confirmation of the open secret that Michael Fassbender was playing the ship’s android, called David. Director Ridley Scott and cast then talked about the making of the movie, with Fassbender discussing the ways in which he prepared to play an android. The actor revealed that...
Prometheus Interview: Ridley Scott, Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender & Damon Lindelof
“What if you could meet God but God turned out to be the Devil?” So asks Prometheus Executive Producer Michael Ellenberg of the themes at the heart of Ridley Scott's first return to science fiction since his seminal work on Alien and Blade Runner. At the core of Scott's story are the eternal questions of human existence: who are we and where do we come from? As Michael Fassbender summarises: “It's basically about trying to find out if there was intervention in the birth of civilisation on...
Battlestar Galactica Blood and Chrome: First Trailer
Looks okay. ;) Or, to put it another way... FRAK YEAH! Th first trailer for the two hour pilot for what will hopefully become the fourth Battlestar Galactica series, Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome, has delivered what it always promised, the carnage, action and excitement of the first Cylon War, retold with modern CGI and storytelling techniques. With a bit of tentacled ice-planet action thrown in for good measure, this looks to be EXACTLY the thing that we've been missing...
Space Battleship Yamato Now Available In Australia
If you've always wanted to see a live-action remake of the classic anime 'Starblazers', your time has finally come. 'Space Battleship Yamato' is an epic of Bay-like proportions, coming complete with a Steven Tyler ballad. Having seen it earlier this year at the Japanese Film Festival on the big screen, I was delighted by the mix of melodrama, cool production design and nifty special effects. I was also delighted to learn that Space Battleship Yamato is now available in Australia...
NASA Confirms Earth-like Planet Kepler 22B Much Better Than Kepler 21B
Scientists at NASA have been going crazy recently, discovering new 'extra-solar' planets willy-nilly. Last week they found a planet (Kepler 21B) 600 light years away with the help of the Kepler Space Telescope, and this week they found another. Last week - too close to the local sun, with surface temperatures at around 1650 degrees centigrade (that's too hot). This week, 22B was found in the 'Goldilocks' zone (juuuuust right). 22B is two and a half times the size of Earth, but it orbits...

The Eyeborg - A Real Human Cyborg
Well this is just disturbing. If you're a bit squeamish, you may not want to watch this. If, however, you think the world hasn't moved fast enough to catch up with all the cool stuff that William Gibson talked about in his excellent novel, Neuromancer (1984), then this will thrill you with the kind of pride that only comes when you see humans successfully launching themselves into the air with rocket boots. When you're confronted with such obvious 'Sci Fi-reality' moments, it makes you stop and...
