Who on EARTH is Scott Sigler? What did you think of the END of Battlestar Galactica? Find out now by listening to the most recent Galactica Quorum Podcast here at 2GuysTalking!

This is The Galactica Quorum’s live panel discussion at Balticon 2009. We’re joined by best-selling horror/scifi author Scott Sigler to discuss the BSG finale and gauge people’s reactions to the show’s ending.

We had several participants from the audience give their opinions, and we also polled them about whether they had interest in “Caprica” or “The Plan.” The results were surprising!

Thanks for all who came out and attended! It was great meeting you.

The live Quorum consisted of Brian, Michele, and guest Scott Sigler.

Please do take a moment to review my inaugural article for a website I have dreamed of writing for, “ScreenRant” - which published my first article this evening. First up, a topic dear to my heart - HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT in “The Top 5 Astronaut Movies of All Time” commemorating the 40th Anniversary of the Moon Landing. Please DO COMMENT and tell friends!

The Top 5 Astronaut Movies of All Time
Via ScreenRant.Com - Mike Wilkerson

Everyone has looked up into a clear evening sky to conduct their own survey of distant pinpricks in the regularly-occurring blackness. Passing aircraft, the stars and that which is always largest in the night sky - the Moon.

July 20, 2009, marks the 40th Anniversary of man landing on the Moon, and to showcase a different flavor of that same obsession, Screen Rant’s newest writer (yours truly), dons his newly-minted writing/explorer spacesuit to provide a listing of the Top 5 Astronaut Movies - a look back at the best storytelling that put you into the shoes of those who have TRULY gone boldly where we hope many more men (and women) will eventually go.

For those of us who are avid fans, LOST has been an amazing show. There are no other shows like it on TV. Every season is unique. Season 2, however, introduced the best villainous character to surface on TV as of yet. This character is brilliantly played by Michael Emerson. Screenrant.com has a nice little article about the show and, courtesy of collider.com, there’s a nice video interview, which I have taken the liberty to present it here to our readers. —ESBaker

Michael Emerson, who plays the sneaky, lying, methodical Benjamin Linus on ABC’s Lost, recently spoke with Collider about the show on the red carpet of the 2009 Saturn Awards (where Lost won Best Television Series). And Screen Rant (courtesy of Collider) has the video of the short interview for your viewing pleasure.

Matthew Fox has been the actor from the cast of Lost that has spoken the most publicly about his thoughts on the show’s mind-boggling fifth season, and of course the finale that left us all with eyes wide and drooling, with a million-and-one things to ponder until the sixth and last season starts in early 2010. But with Emerson playing one of the most interesting characters on the show (I don’t think the show gets better than when his character, Ben, is trading dialogue back and forth with John Locke), just what does he think of his role so far, the season 5 finale and the future/end of the Lost? Check out Collider’s video interview below to find out:

I think Emerson is completely right when he says the end of Lost will be bittersweet: It will truly be an end of an era, the end of a show unlike any other in terms of depth of mystery, storytelling and meaning. Not to sound too much like a “rah-rah” fanboy, but I really do think Lost is one of the greatest pieces of television ever conceived and I will be sad to see it go. I think when the final “LOST” title comes up on-screen I will then have to say to myself, “Well… what do I do now?”

[Warning: Some SPOILERS ahead]

However, having said that, I am very, very, very excited for what the writers have in store for us with how they’re going to bring Lost to a close. They have gotten us this far, with some some big risks being taken along the way (time-travel, moving the island, some of the survivors getting off the island two seasons before the end…), and I have every faith in them that they will bring the show to a satisfying conclusion. They’re not going to be able to please everyone and answer every single mystery they have created, but as long as they answer the big stuff - What is the smoke monster exactly? What is the nature of Jacob and the man in black? What the hell happened to the rest of the statue? - it will all be worthwhile.

[End of SPOILERS]

Are you still a fan of Lost? Do you think the show will have a satisfying ending?

The sixth and last season of Lost will premiere in early 2010.

Check out “A Road Not Traveled?” the most recent entry from a grandfatherly, regularly-occurring voice of common sense…

Episode 33: Fast Freddie’s Castle of Common Sense Podcast:
A Road Not Traveled?
“I just want to make sure I understand the plan, Stan. We are in a recession which is, ordinarily, a part of normal economic cycles with the passage of time. This time we are approaching a 9% national unemployment rate as firms continue to fail and/or downsize with the struggling economy. The housing “bubble” has burst, decimating real estate nest eggs for people who counted on their home equity as a major cushion. Many retirees, having been hit with major financial losses in their retirement funds, have either returned to work or are considering a return to work…”
