TrekWeb.com reports that Ronald D. Moore's BATTLESTAR GALACTICA is back for another 20 episodes!
For those of you who've missed the remake of Battlestar Galactica, you cannot ever call yourself a genuine sci-fi fan. It's one of those remakes that renders its predecessor forgetable in so many aspects. Frankly, I was skeptical with the idea of cigar smoking, womanizing, hot shot Starbuck cast as a female - but comparing the two, Dirk Benedict is better off staying with the A-Team! There's meat in character all woven together in complex web of intentions. The cliffhanger for season 2 is better than many I've seen in recent years and ranks up there with the "who killed JR Ewing-s of yester-year".

Time for Manchester United FC to Stand Up and Be Counted
A side on the brink of possible Champions League elimination, news of Vodafone's premature termination of shirt sponsorship is not surprising. Arguably still the biggest name in world soccer, the lustre now finds new company in the form of doubt, under achievement, controversy and rejection. The once unassailable positions of manager and club captain are now myth, with Keane reduced to a cursory past and Sir Alex Ferguson reading of his impending departure with utter disdain.
Yet ever so often, as it has been with this Champion club of modern football, it is when their backs are against the wall that they find the extra will to push back! This is no longer a matter of the Glazer repayment structure, how shirt sales have dovetailed, the identity of the new jersey sponsors or even Sir Alex's successor. It is very simply a football matter. How much do our boys want to play in the knockout stage of the Champions League? Take care of the football and other things will eventually fall into place.
The fact is, we have some of the best talents this generation has to offer - and in the case of Van Der Sar and Gary Neville, the best of the soon to be past generation! So let's play football guys, we know you are capable of better.
