Hot off the NBC Univeral Media Village press site, here’s Sci Fi Channel’s schedule of events for Comic-Con International, July 23-26 at the San Diego Convention Center:
SCI FI FEATURES FAN FAVORITE SERIES AND STARS AT COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL 2009
New York, NY – June 30, 2009 – In keeping with its longstanding tradition of hosting some of Comic-Con’s most popular, crowd-pleasing events over the years, SCI FI Channel will once again feature some of its biggest hits – as well as its highly-anticipated new series – at this year’s Comic-Con International, held July 23-26 at the San Diego Convention Center. Fans will have the opportunity to see their favorite SCI FI stars and get the answers to all their burning questions at each of the Channel’s star-studded panels, including Warehouse 13, Eureka, Sanctuary, Stargate Universe, and Caprica/Battlestar Galactica: The Plan.
In addition, SCI FI will take over a restaurant at the Hard Rock Hotel, re-branding it as Eureka’s “Cafe Diem” for the duration of the convention. The fictional local hot spot heavily featured in the popular dramedy, Cafe Diem will be the hub of all SCI FI activities during the week.

Frak! Battlestar Galactica’s much-hyped final episode airs tonight. To mark this bittersweet occasion, I give you a list of 10 fake swear words that have each, to some extent, bled into the fan vernacular from science fiction. Feel free to employ any or all as the show’s grand finale can’t possibly live up to your expectations.
Warning! Fake profanity and the use of people’s imagination follow! Read on at your own risk.
And they are:
- Frak (Battlestar Galactica) — Probably the most famous (and most thinly veiled) substitute profanity on television, it originated in the original 1978 version of Battlestar Galactica, when it was spelled “frack.” Read the rest of this entry »

 STARBUCK: What is she? Will we know the truth? (NBC) Like the upcoming film adaptations of The Hobbit and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the series finale of Battlestar Galactica will be split into two parts. But in this case, fans will only have to wait a week for the conclusion. The popular Sci Fi Channel series, following a ragtag fleet of refugees from Cylon attack, will begin with an hourlong episode March 13 in the normal time slot. This will be followed by a two-hour grand finale March 20 beginning one hour earlier than usual, according to SyFy Portal.

“You will know the truth.” That’s the promise we keep getting from the weekly Battlestar Galactica previews on the Sci Fi Channel, even after the ragtag Colonial fleet discovered a scorched Earth and learned the identity of the fifth and final humanoid Cylon: Lady Macbeth in Space herself, Ellen Tigh.
Well, if those previews are to be believed, we’ll get our first glimpse of the resurrected Mrs. Tigh in this Friday’s episode, titled “No Exit.” But just in case the truth was a lie and there are more “skinjobs” out there, you can protect yourself with the Cylon Detector app, now available for the iPhone and iPod Touch on the Apple App Store for $1.99.

AN OLD-SCHOOL BATTLESTAR GALACTICA CYLON WITH A FULLY-FUNCTIONAL HELMET. SWEET!
Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, it did.
Saturday was my last day at Comic-Con, and probably the most memorable. What started out as a normal day — seeing fans in costume, getting autographs from famous artists and processing an insane amount of fanboy mania — ended with a bang, otherwise known as The Comic-Con International Masquerade.
