Is it just me or does the guy that plays the Chief in BSG look like a young Brian Dennehy?
A bit, yup.

There was also a string of announcements, including the introduction of James Marsters to the cast of "Smallville." He'll be playing the classic DC Comics villain Braniac, one of Superman's most formidable enemies.
Marsters is known to fans of The WB for his role as Spike, the vampire who first tried to kill, then fell in love with, Buffy on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel."
(now, I never was a huge spike fan or anything, but even I can say that he was SO much more than that.)
Also, veteran actor Tom Wopat will reunite with "Dukes of Hazzard" co-star John Schneider, who plays Jonathan Kent on the show, for one episode. Wopat will play a state senator who was a boyhood friend of Kent.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Huh. I don't know much of anything about Phillip Glass, but that piece was really nice.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I leanred (from a spoilery post at AICN) that BSG will air the first 10 episodes of season 2 this summer; the remaining 10 eposided of the season won't start to show until next Jan.
Boo. OTOH they're still making episodes, so I guess there has to be a break somewhere.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
For what it's worth, that's the same schedule Sci-Fi's been using for its original shows for years, so don't worry that it's some comment on BSG's quality or prospects.

Well, that is the same schedule that SG1 and SGA are on.

Oh no, I wasn't worrying about that; I just want everything all at once. Or, you know, before January. But I'll live.
IOPerplexingN, there was a commercial for the season 1 DVDs of BSG. They said that the British versions of the DVDs will go on sale tomorrow (presumably region 1). The regular, US version will go on sale in Sept (20th, IIRC) with the US music and whatnot. The commercial gave the URL battlestargalacticadvd.com, but that redirects to a page about the original series DVDs, and I can't find any other info about this release.

I had a link about the 9/20 release (with a fair amount of detail) on my flist the other day... just a sec... OK, here it is: [link]

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'
I have a media question. I'm searching Amazon for a new DVD player and this one says:
PAL-to-NTSC format conversion--great for viewing non-region-encoded European discs
Does that mean it plays Region 1 and Region 2 DVDs? That's what I'm trying to find.

Our wings are not tired
No, that one will play DVD's that have no region encoding but are in PAL format. If you want to play all regions then you need to get a region-free DVD player. This are not sold directly to the consumer, but there are very often hacks that allow you to use DVD players in this way. Do a Google Search for Region Free hacks and see what models of players come up us the most reliable and then get one of those.
