Avoiding Cylons with a Vintage “Battlestar Galactica” 1978 TV Guide Article

Battlestar GalacticaBears… Beets… Battlestar Galactica!  Frack yeah!

Long before we had Miami Vice play Commander Adama, who led a rag-tag fugitive fleet on a lonely quest to a shining planet known as Earth, we had Bonanza occupying the very same role. Or respectfully, I should say Edward James Olmos played the role more recently, but the role was originated by the now departed Lorne Greene. Greene gave a more fatherly portrayal of the overburdened Commander whereas Olmos performance was a bit more militaristically grounded and less approachable (and grumpier). And don’t get me wrong, I loved Olmos’ portrayal. He played it just perfectly for the reboot.

Behind the Scenes Preview of Batman Prequel “Gotham” (Video)

Gotham TV Series Pic 72A new 21 minute behind the scenes preview for Fox’s upcoming Batman prequel “Gotham” has surfaced.  It premieres Monday, September 22. 

I’m not a big fan of prequels, especially ones based on characters that will never actually appear.  Bruce Wayne is a kid in the series.  So unless they flash forward at some point, we will never see Batman.  Though I have a feeling he’ll actually show up in the final moments of the series finale before they cut to black (and then cue the Joker laugh).
