- Battlestar Galactica and the "new" sci-fi
- The second season of the new Battlestar Galactica debuted Friday, smack in the middle of the San Diego International Comic-Con, granddaddy of all sci-fi/comic/collectible conventions.

- Video: Karaoke as the ultimate sci-fi weapon
- A clever little computer animation from Sony Imageworks illustrating how karaoke may be the most underused cliche in all of science fiction. Count the inside jokes while rockin' to the bad Motown renditions and slapstick humor. Found via SFSignal. by Jay Garmon

- Video: Who's on first--Yoda or Jar Jar?
- For your viewing terror pleasure, a mashup of the seminally classic "Who's On First" comedy routine by Abbott & Costello, remixed with "retro" footage of Yoda and Jar Jar Binks from Episode I. Unsurprisingly, Jar Jar really works as a histrionic straight man. If only the actual movie were this...

- Video: Self-assembling LEGO Millennium Falcon
- A couple of LEGO lunatics created this stop-motion video of a Millennium Falcon model stylishly assembling itself from its colorful component blocks and then being vigorously flown about the neighborhood by its boyish masters.

- Video: New Knight Rider teaser trailer
- As we've mentioned before, NBC is working up a new Knight Rider television series which serves as a quasi-sequel to the uber-campy Hasselhoff-infested 1980s series--and we've got this teaser trailer to prove it. I'm starting to warm to the casting of Will Arnett as the voice of the new KITT...

- Video: Simpsons opening sequence, Star Wars-style
- Now this is how you push the boundaries of fair use. Animator Rich Cando has homebrewed a startlingly high-production-value parody of The Simpsons' opening sequence, morphed into a send-up of the Star Wars movie franchise. Apparently, someone thinks Ned Flanders would make a good Corellian smuggler--he made the Kessel Run...
