BSG / Caprica / BSG: The Plan panel
*tar av hatten for Scifiwire som har postet hele panelet!

Olmos: mer BSG!
Fra BSG/Caprica-panelet i går, på spørsmål fra publikum om The Plan vil bli det siste vi får se av Adama og BSG svarte Olmos ganske enkelt:
"As a matter of fact, I've got to tell you right now. Because of you all, what you're doing, because of the love for that world...I can guarantee that this will not be the last movie."
I tillegg til sin tro på "the love for that world" er han håpefull The Plan vil selge godt nok til å finansere flere filmer, og legger til at "they photographed the Galactica sets in insane detail, so they can recreate them digitally any time they want."
So say we all!

Ny trailer: The Plan! (!!)
tirsdag 16. juni 2009
Mer Cyborgs on the Horizon og The Plan
Jeg komprimerer:
Hod Lipson viste en video fra en tidligere forelesning som viser bl.a hvordan en robot med fire ben lærer å bevege seg fremover:
"And then, when they ripped off one of it's legs, it limped. A chill swept throughout the audience.."
Kevin Warwick om Cyborg life:
''Then he remarked that it would be pretty naive if we thought we could switch off a superior intelligence, if it ever goes that far.'' Warwick sammenligner superior intelligence med internett, og er ganske sikker på at en cyborg uprising vil bli vår ende (Skynet style) om forskere involvert ikke bruker minst like mye tid på forhåndsregler som de gjør med legoklossene sine.

Til slutt viste de et klipp fra The Plan med Boomer og Cavil. Boomer er ''locked up'' og blir skjelt ut av Cavil fordi hun skjøt Adama to ganger i brystet og ikke i hodet. Boomer forsvarer seg med å si at hun ikke hadde kontroll over seg selv i gjerningsøyeblikket og forklarer at selve prosessen fungerer ved at hun må laste ned en centurion inn i seg selv, som gjør at hun føler hjertet sitt stoppe. Cavil svarer: "that sounds wonderful." Fantastisk.

Nytt klipp: The Plan

Jane Espenson om filmen: "The movie--the second stand-alone telefilm based on the Peabody Award-winning show--deals with all the mythology's secrets..But it's very much designed to be watched after the run of the series, because it definitely relies on stuff you don't learn until much later."
Alt er vel og bra, og forhåpningene er ganske høye. Det er jo faktisk mer BSG! Som med med Razor. Veldig mange fra serien har blitt castet, men det ser dessverre ikke ut til at vi får se mer av Starbuck..

BSG cast om cybernetics og etikk.

På fredag vil Mary McDonnell og Michael Hogan delta på World Science Festival's panel "on artificial intelligence and ethics". Programmet går også under tittelen Cyborgs on the Horizon
Der skal de, sammen med robotekspertene Karvin Warvick og Hod Lipson, gå i dybden og diskutere ''scientifically, philosophically, and ethically the approaching frontier where intelligent machines are commonplace and cybernetic technology enhances human capabilities.''
Dradis vil holde utkikk etter transcipt og evt. film av dette.
Sjekk også ut denne siden for råd om hvordan best overleve en "cylon uprising".

Olmos om The Plan

Det vil si mer Starbuck i tank top - ja takk? Vel, faktisk vil vi få møte en hel del kjente ansikt, men Kara Thrace er dessverre ikke en av dem. Olmos utdyper:
"You see the complete opposite of the first 281 days of what we went through, ...seen through the eyes of the Cylons, and it is breathtaking. It's fantastic. It's not fun, but I will say that you will sit there.
I couldn't have imagined this kind of a situation happening at the end of a show where you would actually start at the beginning. That's a masterful piece of understanding, Ron [Moore.] Genius. Because after you see The Plan, you'll want to go back and view the whole series again.
All I can tell you is it's an extraordinary look at the Cylons, how they masterminded what they did."

BSG sesong 4 soundtrack
Selv har jeg ventet lenge på denne utgivelsen og er glad for å endelig få en dato.

Jeg anbefaler å scrolle gjennom sidene, de inneholder mye snadder for både BSG fans og musikkinteresserte.

Lest We Forget
Jeg puslet med denne da serien tok slutt og jeg slet hardt med withdrawal.
Filmen inneholder selvfølgelig mye spoilere for de av dere som enda måtte være uvitne.
