Lisa Paitz Spindler, Danger Gal

If you watched the season finale of Sanctuary, then you saw Will getting his Bollywood on in a dance for Kali:

Who knew Robin Dunne could dance?!

And you thought I looked like the Danger Gal, huh?

Via Grasping for the Wind

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA returns this Friday with its last season, the first episode of which is called “Sometimes A Great Nation.” Here’s the latest teaser trailer:

Note that Romo Lampkin is back and he’s in custody for some reason — the teaser shows him being escorted down a corridor by several guards and later I’m pretty sure that’s him with Zarek shaking hands in a cell. Also note that in the teaser the words pop up “Who is the final cylon?” and then we see a shot of Dualla.

It’s probably all a huge fake-out, but it’s still fun to dissect it. Not too long ago I theorized that the Fifth Cylon was Dualla and threw around some ideas I called the Aurora Theory, but I admit Dualla doesn’t have the emotional impact the show has been promising.

I still maintain my original idea that Dualla is the Fifth Cylon is a compelling one. However, the new clues have given me a few ideas to toss around about Kara “Starbuck” Thrace, Baltar, and others. Namely, we’ll likely see three reveals in this last season rather than just the one everyone seems to be fixating on:

• The identity of the Fifth Cylon
• Starbuck’s true identity
• The identity of the “one whose name cannot be spoken”

What follows is my revised take on some of the old and new clues.

It’s so shiny! Shiny is good.

Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard

Well, 2009 is starting off with a bang. I’ve been immortalized in song!

John Ottinger over at Grasping for the Wind started his Book Reviewer Meme wherein anyone who wanted to be listed in his blogroll as a book reviewer would run the list of everyone in a post. John Anealio of the SciFi Songs Blog writes a new SF-inspired song every week. Well, Anealio wrote one about the Book Reviewer Meme and Danger Gal is listed at the end. Right at the end, where Anealio slows down the beat. Like SciFiGuy, I think Anealio deserves a SciFi Grammy (what would we call it. . . an Anealio?)

Click here to hear the song and read the words. Also, here is the post about the song on Grasping for the Wind.

Now we just need a video.

David Hewlett, a.k.a Dr. Rodney McKay on Stargate: Atlantis, has some rap fun. Don’t worry, he apologized afterward.
