Return to Galactica

Author: Felix | Files under TV Series, Toys, Video

For this week’s affiliate deal spotlight, we thought we’d get a little nostalgic and look back at what many consider to be one of the most popular cable TV series of the soon-to-be past decade, SyFy’s Battlestar Galactica.

It’s hard to believe BSG has been gone for as long as it has already–the final [...]

PTG Episode 55 is brought to you by Friday night TV programming, a.k.a. The Dead Zone. For all the rave reviews that both the season premieres of Smallville at 8PM on the CW and Dollhouse on FOX at 9PM received during the past week, both shows generally went unwatched by the public [...]

Hour 2 of Prime Time Geek’s 13th Episode kicks off with the taiko drums that us BSG fans have come to know and love, the music that’s been part of the lead-in for arguably the best show on television these past six years. I could think of no better lead-in for this hour of PTG [...]

Hour 2 of Prime Time Geek Episode 12 is ALL about Marvel Comics!
Actually, no, that’s a lie. Two-thirds of this hour of Episode 12 is all about Marvel, specifically:

Invincible Iron Man #11, written by Matt Fraction and Salvador Larocca;
Marvel Studio’s revised schedule of films being produced and released through 2012, including Iron Man 2, Thor, [...]

Hour 2 of PTG Episode 11 continues Mad Mario’s in-studio visit and focuses for much of the hour on upcoming geek movies for 2009. The opening sound drop is, of course, from the Hugh Jackman-John Travolta film debacle Swordfish, which, though abysmal, is actually pretty quotable … all right, fine, just that one moment in [...]

I began Hour 2 with a clip from Star Trek IV – The Voyage Home, thinking I would have a chance to talk about that film’s blu-ray release (along with the other “Original Crew” films and Season One of the Original Series) on May 12th, but alas, the time got away from me and I [...]
