Christian Brock sends news that The Ghost Whisperer has not given up the ghost after all. It will be back this Fall.
The good news for July is the return of new episodes on Sci Fi Friday. No, no new Battlestar Galactica yet,
just Stargates. The web abounds with spoilers about Battlestar Galactica Season Three
but you won't read any here. I like surprises.
What's new in July:
And now, I'm off to the IMAX to see Superman Returns, (partly in 3D).

Ronald D. Moore has announced a prequel to Battlestar Galactica called Caprica. It is designed to be
character driven, rather than action/adventure. I love Ron Moore's work, but Star Trek tried a prequel,
and we all know how that fared. I think most people like their stories to move forward rather than backward. There is
a sense in which people watch a story in order to learn what happens next. When a story is told out of order, that
desire goes unsatisfied.
