Whilst those of us in the UK have to wait until Tuesday 20th to see the new episodes of Battlestar Galactica, lucky American sci-fi fans have already seen the first episode and are already filling internet forums and blogs with spoilers about the show. I’m finding it very difficult to resist the urge to find out what happened, especially when the first episode reveals the identity of the final Cylon.

Alright, so I couldn’t wait and I’ve had a look at somebody’s liveblog. I know who the final Cylon is – oh! I didn’t expect that!

In fact I’m so impatient I’m downloading a torrent of the episode as I type this. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to watch it later today, I promise that I will not post any spoilers until after the UK broadcast.

The final Cylon is Tom Zarek

The 11th Doctor

At 26 years old, Matt Smith has found himself the youngest actor ever to be cast as the Doctor. When auditioning for the role, Smith had a certain “Doctor-ness about him” that made the relatively unknown actor the production team’s first choice to play the eleventh Doctor.

Of course, internet nerds over the age of thirty will be enraged by the choice. Me, I say let’s just see the lad perform the part before we cast any aspersions.
