More entertainment news:

A complete series boxed set for Farscape will be released November 17th. I liked the episodes I saw of the series, but stopped watching it, as it wasn't completely available to me. Mark liked it too, and we talked about buying it, but at the time it was disturbingly expensive. It also came to my attention that the series, when cancelled, ended on a terrible cliffhanger, which has apparently been wrapped up in a made for tv movie ('The Peacekeeper Wars'). Maybe I'll get this series? It's a thought.

According to Gary Oldman the next Batman movie starts filming next year. I had hoped they'd stop making that series with The Dark Knight. It's nearly universal praise suggests (to me) that a sequel is pointless and bound for failure by comparison...but of course it's bound to make loads of cash, so here it comes.

I don't know if it's been mentioned but Spider-Man 4 is also in the works, with the director and stars returning. Another movie we don't need.

John Leeson (the voice of K9 in Doctor Who) will voice the K9 character in the spin-off series that concentrates on the original K9 and his further adventures - which is not made by the people currently making Doctor Who / Torchwood / The Sarah Jane Adventures. The series is said to air next year (in Australia, where it's being made), and hopefully...we'll get to see it soon after.

Note to self: check out the new BBC series 'Being Human' starting this Saturday?

There's a new article with the gays lamenting the plot twists in Torchwood. I took some pleasure in voting down the nasty ones. Thankfully there were some voices of reason in the mix. I'd join the fray, but arguing with those people is always so backward.

Battlestar Galactica: The Plan will air AFTER it's DVD release (in an extended cut); the DVD comes out October 27, 2009 (I already have it preordered). Edward James Olmos (Adama) believes there will be more BSG movies. A new trailer has been screened which is said to be Kick Ass; hopefully it shows up online soon.

Caprica begins airing January 22, 2010, starting with the tv version of the pilot, already available on dvd in an extended, uncut version (which is awesome). New episodes will air weekly after that, every Friday night at 10pm.

If I was at Comicon I'd be struggling to ask RDM about BSG: The Face of the Enemy and why it wasn't on the DVDs and when it will be available.

One of the female lead characters on the new Stargate (played by Ming-Na) is a lesbian. Interesting. :-0) Also, the lead guy they pick up at the start of the trailer - I love him. He played gay on Ugly Betty; he was Marc's adorable boyfriend.
