Battlestar Galactica Quicklinks for April 14, 2008
A few of the funny, odd, or strange things that happened around the pop culture universe over the weekend:
Has Mary McDonnell had plastic surgery? Gedblog reports, you decide. Special thanks to this blog for the screencap from “Six of One,” I tried to pick one that was not a spoiler for folks who have not seen the episode yet.
Nicki Clyne lets us know she is still around and she is still blogging … she has just been doing Euro Cons.
Lucy Lawless has been sending tons of love to Dancing With the Stars contestant Marisa Jaret Winokur, attending at least one taping of the show and Marisa’s rehearsals. If you are a Dancing fan, be sure to give all of your Dancing votes to Marissa … it’s interesting that while Lucy is a fan of Marisa, she is not a fan of the way the powers that be run Dancing With the Stars (”Who produces this show? Satan???”)
“What the frak!” made an appearance last week on 30 Rock, which literally rocked.
Looks like John McCain is finally getting some geek cred, as folks are starting to wonder if McCain is a Cylon. Welcome to the party, John, people have been speculating about whether Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama are Cylons for months! Although to give the guy credit, he has a better Cylon claim in the sense that he looks like Tigh and has a young blonde wife he likes to insult.
The folks over at Popnography have nicknamed the newest Cylons Pudgy, Pretty, Pouty, and Asshole . . . Anders is the pretty one.
Apparently George Clooney’s Leatherheads is so slow this reviewer kept him wondering about Cylons instead of what the end of the movie would be . . . and while I am not enough of a hockey fan to understand this reference, apparently Deadspin thinks the Cylons have invaded the NHL too.

The Colbert Report on Comedy channel also gave a BSG shout out last week, which was pretty cool. They showed a pic of Adama and said it was General Petraeus.

Thanks for the tip, bsgfan! I actually agonized about including that one, because so many other blogs had it last week … in the end I decided not to do it, and now I wish I had :).

Ew, i don’t think i’ll like it when ‘What the frak’ becomes the next everyday ‘hip’ term.

[...] devotion to cheering on Marissa is especially admirable since Lucy has been vocal about the fact that she is not fond of the show. To devote this many hours to making sure your friend succeed on a show you don’t even [...]
