”LEGO Battlestar Galactica Cylon Minifig Beats Star Wars Minifig Any Day
Sorry Jesus. The Star Wars Minifig may be nice, but it's got nothing on this Battlestar Galactica Cylon LEGO minifig. Its eyes light up (just like yours) but has that glowing red dot flash back and forth like in the show. Yes, the light moves. We have it on video. THIS is the best use of light-emitting diodes sir. Good day! More »Earth's First Close Encounter of the Alien Kind Will Be More Toaster Than Number Six
Forget little green men, Vulcans or super-sexy Number Six's slinking about the 'verse in little red cocktail dresses—some scientists say our first encounter with E.T. will likely involve a simple robot. For proof, says Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI Institute, you need only to look at our own species' advances in robotics. But then the 'scientists' in this MSNBC Battlestar Galactica puff piece get a little crazy. Human-cyborg relations? Marriage? That'll only work in Massachusetts!

Buy Your Own Life-Sized Cylon Companion
When we first heard that Fred Barton the robot maker could make our own life-sized Cylon, we started lathering Crisco all over our chest in anticipation of some Six action. But alas, that's not to be! Barton specializes in creating metallic robots, which results in both the original metal Toaster cylons from the '70s as well as the Knight Rider-eyed metal baddies from the current series. Ok, how about a compromise? We'll settle for Boomer or even the Lucy Lawless one. [Fred Barton via Retro Thing] More »

Sony to Release Pro Projectors for Big Rooms, Spaceships and Battlestations
Sony is adding to their excellent projector lineup with two new models, the VPL-FW300L and the VPL-FH300L, both of which will happily display full HD content. The VPL-FW300L will churn out 7000 lumens (WXGA+ resolution; 1366 x 800) in comparison to the VPL-FH300L, which will produce a maximum of 6000 lumens (WXGA+ resolution; 2048 x 1080). The projectors are intended for professional use, with Sony aiming the devices at the auditorium, classroom and the meeting room, but do not let that stop you going nuts and setting one of these up in your monster bachelor pad.

There are two reasons to watch this Fall's remake of The Bionic Woman on NBC. One is Michelle Ryan, English actress and utter, utter hottie. The other is Katee Sackoff, Battlestar Galactica's chewer-upper of Cylon raiders —but we all know about her hotness already, so let's focus on the new girl. There's a video preview of the series and a poll about her after the jump.

Battlestar Galactica Video Contest
Commercial contests aren't a new idea, especially for those who watched the Superbowl this year. However, Battlestar Galactica is throwing a contest that sounds fun. Instead of leaving fans to do everything on their own, SciFi has released video clips and sound effects for the public to use and recut to their liking. (Though, the entrants who make especially graphic entries in ode to Number 6 may be disqualified). More »ThinkGeek's Battlestar Galactica-Inspired USB Snowbot

Battlestar Galactica Story-Recap Available on Xbox Live Marketplace
Starting now, you can download the Season 1 and 2 recap video of Battlestar Galactica, which fills you in on Seasons 1 and 2 and gears you up for the start of Season 3 in October. When we were at E3, we grilled the Xbox Live guys for an answer on whether they were ever going to bring high definition entertainment—movies, TV shows— to the Xbox Live Marketplace for download. They've already got their infrastructure there, plus, people actually enjoy watching content in HD. Our questions were met with a "probably not" and a non-committal "we'll see". More »
