Just yesterday I posted about the
casting announcement for Amanda Graystone in the
Battlestar Galactica prequel,
Caprica. Now comes word that one of the most anticipated characters of the series has been cast.
Esai Morales, who you may know best as Lt. Rodriquez on
NYPD Blue, or as Major Beck from ill-fated
Jericho, has
landed the role of Joseph Adama, father to William, grandfather to Lee. Joseph is described as "a man who has done a few crooked things in his life" and is one to be feared. Remember, he knows a thing or two about the law as well.
In looking back at photos of young Bill Adama from the
Razor vignettes, Nico Cortez -- who plays Bill -- could easily pass as Morales's son. I wonder if we'll be treated at all to some scenes from the future of the Cylon war, where Cortez can reprise his role.

Early last month I posted a
casting call sheet for the upcoming Battlestar Galactica prequel show, Caprica. In that list was a call for Amanda Graystone, a "surgeon with a volatile streak to her" who is "something of a double agent." Well, you can scratch that one off the list of openings, as
Paula Malcomson (Trixie of
Deadwood and Jerri of
John From Cincinnati) has been cast in the role.
My interest in
Caprica hinges on how
Battlestar Galactica concludes; will I really want to know more about how it all began? I could see them putting us in a place that has us craving for more, though it's likely
Caprica is meant to stand on its own and without having to follow too many rules set by the
BSG events. Hopefully I'm wrong.

(S04E05) It looks like Sci Fi took to heart some of the complaints over last week's online preview. This week they weren't so vague, making it crystal clear how much of a preview we were going to get. If nothing else, I could skip over the first ten minutes of the episode when it aired on TV.
As we heard tonight, the mission of the Demitrius is nearing the end of its 60-day mission, and there's noticeable tension on-board. Two months doesn't really seem all that long, but then I got to thinking -- what is a "day" to the humans as related to Earth time? Are we to assume Caprica has the same cycles as Earth? I know, I'm digressing here, but I do wonder how they differentiate a day amongst all of the different colonies, then simply say "a day" on Galactica. Most likely they have a military-set definition for it.

Lately when people discuss Joss Whedon, it's having to do with his comic book writing and, of course, the upcoming new series,
Dollhouse. What seems to have slipped off the radar is any discussion about the made-for-BBC Rupert Giles-centric,
Buffy spin-off,
Ripper. We get bits and pieces and clues here and there regarding the show's current state, but nothing seems very concrete.
In a recent interview with Digital Spy,
Anthony Stewart Head discusses his newest project on BBC One,
The Invisibles, but he also drops an update on the state of
Ripper and posts his thoughts on the
Buffy Season Eight comic.

(S04E04) I went on earlier today about how a lot of us were
cut short in the early viewing of tonight's episode, which made me think perhaps something "big" happens later that they didn't want revealed early. With the exception of one "maybe big" moment, I can scratch that theory.
I wouldn't exactly call this a throw-away episode, though with what we saw in the past three episodes it did drag is places.

For the past few weeks,
SciFi.com has been giving viewers an early look at that week's episode, online. The
first and
second episodes were shown only at noon Eastern, while the
third (last week) was shown every hour throughout the morning and afternoon. In all cases, you couldn't rewind or pause the feed, and there are short commercials throughout. This was fantastic for fans eager to see the episode early -- until today, that is.
Sci Fi's website promised a noon "preview" of tonight's episode, which to most meant would be the same, full-episode preview we've been seeing this season. Instead, viewers got the shaft after about 20 minutes of the episode airing, including ending the viewing with a commercial.

A couple of days ago I posted of the rumors that
O.J. Simpson was being eyed as a possible participant in the next season of Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice. NBC and Trump's reps are now calling it complete hogwash, saying
he was never being considered for a spot.
This whole thing seemed fishy from the get-go. On Howard Stern's radio show last year,
Trump mentioned how he distanced himself from O.J. (scroll down to 'Donald Trump Calls In' at 9:25 AM) and made it pretty clear he had doubts about his innocence, even though O.J. attended his wedding. Now Trump is having meetings with the guy, even after that whole show-down in Vegas over memorabilia (trial still pending). So what's changed?
One has to wonder if the "leaked info" regarding O.J.'s interest in
Celebrity Apprentice was merely a publicity stunt to drum up interest in the show, even just by making more people aware that it exists.
