I had the chance to meet Katee Sackhoff/my dream girl yesterday and what a treat it was. She was incredibly personable and sweet. And add to that that she looks even more beautiful in person.

About a year ago I was TDY in California for training and my Wife came out to visit for a weekend.  We went to the Firestone winery for a tasting and Katee Sackhoff came in with some friends.  I didn't get to talk to her, but it was still pretty cool to see her in person.

How did you meet her Ryan?
This is the way.


I have spoken.

That's cool, Ryan! I would love to sit and chat with the BSG stars and thank them for doing such an exceptional job on the show and how sad TV is without it now.

That's pretty cool Matt, I don't remember hearing that. I actually met her at Starfest here in Denver. The con itself was pretty lame, but I only really went to see her stuff anyways, which was great.

And coincidentally I just found out tonight that I'll also be meeting Edward James Olmos next Tuesday night. :)

He is doing a lecture/talk on his life in the barrio as a kid and on the importance of diversity. There is a meet and greet afterwards which I also have tickets to. I was already doing a project on him for a class I have, so I'm really hoping to get the chance to ask him a few interview questions and I know I'll find a way to sneak some Galactica questions in there. :P

Anyone buying Caprica on DVD today?  I don't know if I'll buy it today or not but I'm definitely picking it up this week.  I'm interested to see what they've done with this new show.

I just picked it up but I doubt I'll get a chance to watch it until at least tomorrow. I'm definitely pretty excited for it. I was looking to buy Season 4.5 as well, but it appears as if the DVD release date site I checked lied to me about its release date.  >:(

Speaking of BSG seasons on DVD.  Target has a 2-pack of season 2 and 2.5 that's on sale this week for, I think, $34.99.

That one sure is going to set me back a bit. Especially considering I'll have to buy Season 4.5 on regular DVD as well... :-X

Can we talk about Caprica in here yet???
I'll say this, it sets up the characters,I felt it was kinda slow, but the demo at the end made the wait worthwhile.

I do hope this gets picked up and run with.

How many season of BSG are there and how many DVD sets?

4 Seasons and the initial miniseries and Razor

Dvd sets depends on where you are
For australia we have
miniseries
season1
season2
season3
first half of season 4
secpnd half of season 4 due soon
Razor

I believe the US got jipped and had season 2 split into 2 sets
I wouldnt be surprised if there is some super duper ultimate galactica set out soon though

I'm surprised nobody has bumped this yet.  It's taken a few weeks but I finally watched "Caprica" tonight and the major take away is always back up your data.

At least, when it got right down to the end, that's the thing that went through my head.  Anyway, it was a pretty good movie.  Definitely has a new feel to it even though it's set in the BSG world.  The shaky handheld camera is gone, it's not as dark and gritty and war torn but it's still in the same universe and that was cool.

The plot was interesting and they tied a lot of things together and the ending was really kind of a cliffhanger.  Anyone know if this is actually getting picked up for an ongoing series?
