The Museum of Television and Radio’s 23rd Annual William S. Paley Television Festival in Los Angeles (which continues through March 15) got off to an impressive start last week. The festival selects a different TV series or personality each night and has screenings of episodes followed by Q & A sessions with the cast and creative teams. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA was the subject of such a panel on March 3rd, and iF MAGAZINE was there to get the scoop. Featured in the panel were the shows producers and creators: Ronald D. Moore and David Eick. Also on hand were series headliners: Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackhoff, Jamie Bamber, James Callis and Grace Park. Here are a few highlights from the event.

Common now, where are the pics of Grace Park :)
Sci-Fi ping list, please.
And BSG is indeed one of the best shows on TV.
I would to add a amendment to the Ann Coulter Rule.. Any mention of Battlestar Galacitca (the new one), there shall be pics of Grace Park and Tricia Helfer... Any objections??
...huh..did you say something...I was distracted.
I like the bit about Grace Park. She reasoned that since Sharon is a Cylon she is immortal. She won't end up like Billy.
This is one damn fine series.
I saw the spoilers for this week's episode (and the last of the current crop of eps). Man, to say a lot happens this week is an understatement.
To me the top sci-fi shows in my lifetime is Babylon 5, Firefly, and the new Battlestar Galatica..
I can't wait to see the season finale.
I absolutely love Babylon 5.
In every society I ever heard of there is a tension between the center and the regional. Such a tension did not exist in Star Trek. In Babylon 5 we had an outright civil war between the outer colonies and President Clark's "Empire of Earth" policies.
No objections here

Star Trek was to clean...
I adore the moral ambiguity.
We had an outright evil human leader in Admiral Cain who essentially turned Battlestar Pegasus into a pirate ship with a vicious, brutalized crew.
Star Trek was a perfect secularist, socialist, pacifist utopia. Aside from Deep Space Nine, which had a heavy B5 influence, what dreck.
The joke for me was the Battle of Wolf 5 where the Borg cube slaughtered Starfleet. We are told later that in 6 months Starfleet will be rebuilt. What bull ! With the slaughter of trained cadre Starfleet will not be rebuilt for a generation. The Japanese Naval Air arm never recovered from Midway. You can't replace thousands of experienced, trained veterans in 6 months.
37 ships were lost in that battle, so I doubt that was the entire Starfleet.
