Xena in Space

She’s back… She’s blonde… and she’s on Battlestar Galactica.
That’s right, Lucy Lawless, better known as Xena: Warrior Princess, has joined the cast of Battlestar Galactica. And… she’s got a big secret.
I have to admit, I haven’t been watching the show much. It’s on Friday nights, and that’s not usually a night I watch much TV. I’m too lazy to tape it, but I try to catch the repeats late at night during the week.
If you haven’t seen the new Battlestar Galactica, you should check it out. It’s actually a pretty good show. As a designer, I really like the look they have developed with the space scenes. Using a unique style of pan and zoom, they’ve developed a cool sense of motion and scale.

I read recently that previous episodes of BSG are seeded to the bitTorrent space by the production company - so I guess it would be ‘legal’ to download and watch at your leisure.
A bit of guerilla marketing, or a convenience for their fans? I wonder. I’ve been thinking recently that highly-serialized shows could boost ratings by making past episodes downloadable - so that I can catch up on what I missed before THIS weeks episode. I hate to watch stuff out of order, so if I miss a week, I am likely to let the whole series slip away. I intend to ‘catch up later’ but this rarely happens in practice. I even give my PVR/DVR/tivo a pretty good workout, but inevitably I miss something!

In that photo, she looked more like Naomi Watts than Lucy Lawless.
