Inside Battlestar's "Astonishing" Midseason Finale | TV Show Previews | 6/12/2008
Brace yourselves, Galactica fans. Executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick are promising big things for the mid-season finale of the series' fourth and final year (airing Friday, June 13, at 10 pm/ET). Eick teases the cliff-hanger "definitely rivals the Season 2 'one year later' shock," but he's otherwise playing it coy. What we know for sure is 1) ailing Laura Roslin is abducted by the Cylon rebels and, according to Moore, 2) suspected toaster Kara Thrace "is going to make an important discovery [and] all hell's going to break loose." Eick says he's drawn to this plot because "the struggles Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) faces on her own ship call into question the nature of who these people are." For Moore, "the Adama-Roslin relationship [is paramount]. I really like how it's matured. It moves me." President Roslin herself, Mary McDonnell, tells us the midseason finale "is an astonishing piece of work that will be really gratifying for the fans. It's brilliantly done because... read more
Battlestar Galactica Comic Con Panel: A Play by Play | Battlestar Galactica | 4/24/2008
I have to admit, I had no idea how crazy crowded the Battlestar Galactica panel would be at NY Comic Con. Luckily for me (hee hee) I had a press pass, and scooted right in to a seat in the middle of the room. I was really excited to be among so many thrilled fans, since I am one myself. When the lights lowered, the crowd went crazy as new footage was edited together into a long trailer for what's to come — and let me tell you, that shizzle is intense (Adama screaming at Tigh to admit to what he is, Adama telling someone that "they just couldn't stand knowing that they were married to a cylon")! The lights came up and the panel was introduced: Micheal Trucco (Anders), Rekha Sharma (Tory) and the awesome Michael Hogan (Tigh). Let's go through the big highlights of the session.• Rekha was asked about when she found out that she was going to be a cylon and how she felt about it. She said, "I was soooo excited!" Apparently, someone (Aaron Douglas' name was thrown around a lot)... read more
What Is David Eick Adapting Now for NBC? | Today's News: Our Take | 4/18/2008
Battlestar Galactica executive producer David Eick has inked a two-year, seven-figure deal with NBC Universal Media Studios. "My focus now is probably going to be a little less about casting a wide net and a little more on focusing on one, two or maybe three projects a year, maybe writing one myself," Eick tells Variety.Already in the midst of shepherding the BSG prequel Caprica, Eick also has on his drawing board a family adventure pegged as "Little Miss Sunshine meets Thelma and Louise," a project described as "sort of modern-day Hart to Hart," and — this is where it gets interesting, kids — an adaptation of an existing Universal property, the title of which is top-secret until rights are secured. (Eick, need you be reminded, oversaw this past season's Bionic Woman reboot.)What's your take on that last mystery? Is Supertain coming back, better and faster than ever? — MWMRelated:• Ronald D.

Ask Matt | 10/5/2007
I have to admit I had high hopes for Bionic Woman, considering that the executive producer was David Eick, who had a hand in revamping another 1970s show, Battlestar Galactica, into one of my favorite programs. The addition of Katee Sackhoff as a villain, as well as the casting of some other great TV veterans, should have sealed the deal on this show, but after tuning in for the premiere, I was sorely disappointed. Besides the obvious reasons (none of the characters were appealing and the ... read more
Ask Matt | 10/1/2007
I just finished reading an article on the new Bionic Woman in which executive producer David Eick (Battlestar Galactica) discusses the show's ambiguously heroic main character, which he sees as filling a void in the television landscape. He describes his desire to portray an average woman with sudden incredible powers fighting to balance her personal life with her newfound strength; she then comes up against another woman, endowed with those same powers, who has "given in to the dark side of ... read more
