Sci-Fi fans rejoice: "Battlestar Galactica's" 4th season boosted from 13 to 22 episodes Sci Fi Channel also announced that a 2-hour "Galactica" episode will air this fall that will bridge the gap between the third and the fourth season, which begins in January. Unless something changes drastically, I think the fourth season may be the last one.
Also, "Doctor Who" to return for a 4th series . The 3rd season debuts on BBC (and, hypothetically speaking on bit_torrent sites) at the end of the month, with a new companion. It will air on CBC later in the fall. I've been really enjoying this relaunch, first with Chris Eccleston as the hardass, tormented last survivor of the Time Lord, and David Tennant as the newer incarnation, who's always several steps ahead of everyone else and has a certain glee as The Doctor.
Sad news for lovers of brunch: James Chatto at Toronto Life brings word that beloved brunch and foodie spot Milded Pierce will shut its doors for good on July 31, 2007.
A reminder to tip the bartenders well in this scary story with a happy ending. A pair of bartenders are credited with stopping a man who slipped a date rape drug into his date's beer. After they confiscated the first beer by telling him it was from a spoiled keg, he tried the same thing again with the second beer, which wouldn't stop foaming like alka selzter and soda pop, and complained about the beer. The bartenders warned the potential victim while she ducked out for a smoke, at which point the cops were called and the beers handed over as evidence. The poor potential victim was on a first date with this scum bag and was understandably freaked out, but was saved harm thanks to the quick-thinking bartenders. The full story is here, and if you're ever you're in San Francisco, lift a pint to the wonderful bartenders at Noe's Bar .

I'm interested in seeing if the CBC or Space or someone is going to import any of the Doctor Who spinoffs, such as Torchwood.
I don't know why Space hasn't jumped all over Torchwood or the Doctor Who reruns. I think the inital Doctor Who re-launch had some CBC co-production money in it, but I may be wrong.
I've been watching Torchwood from some bit_t_o_r_r_e_n_t sites, and it's a pretty good show. A bit darker sense of story and humour, kind of a bad-ass X-Files or, if you read graphic novels, Global Frequency.
Torchwood would do great on Space - it's in a similar vein to Farscape, in that it's a well-produced non-North American sci-fi program that could garner a cult following.
I know they play the old Doctor Who episodes on one of the specialty channels. I honestly can't remember which one but it is somewhere between 80 and 99 on my digital cable box.
The Doctor Who reruns are on BBC Kids. I felt nostalgic and tuned in a few of the Tom Baker era shows. He was the one with the long scarf, white guy afro and robot dog. It was brilliant as a kid and fun to watch as an adult, but those productions values don't age well. I generally fast forward any scene Tom Baker isn't in.
Interesting facts:
Remember the second Romana, the blonde? She and Baker were married for a little bit, but divorced soon after.
Tom Baker is still alive and well, doing voiceover work, including narrating the bizarre British sketch show "Little Britain".
