Film

BattleStar Galactica

  • It’s official: Linda Hamilton has a voice over in Terminator Salvation.
  • Early reviews of Tales of the Black Freighter (from Watchmen) are in from Ain’t it Cool, IGN, UGO. The response is lukewarm at best.
  • SFX has an interview with Alex Proyas, director of Knowing

Internet

  • Free Fiction: Download the pulp classic, “Deathworld” by Harry Harrison at ManyBooks.net.
  • Free Fiction: Read the Shakespearean tale “We Haven’t Got There Yet” by Harry Turtledove at Tor.com.
  • Free Fiction: Read “Trophy Wives” by Nina Kiriki Hoffman at the Penguin Group’s website.
  • The BBC takes a look at How sci-fi moves with the times and asks “Can science fiction keep up with modern science?”
  • The Guardian reflects upon The eternal allure of good v evil in children’s literature.
  • Over at Ireland’s Independent, Kevin Myers questions the need for libraries in the modern day.

There are probably more than twelve plot holes in this series when you start to think about it, but io9 hits all the high points, like “What, exactly, is this ‘plan’ that the Cylons have?”
  • Joss Whedon gives yet another interview that sounds more like an apology on the topic of Doll House. The best is yet to come, not what I originally planned, etc., etc. …
