I have recently received mail containing requests to post links to a couple of interesting sites. First off, Gentle Reader Claire suggested that I should post a link to the Battlestar Galactica podcasts. Not only will you find Ron Moore’s personal accounts of each episode there, but also a series of recordings made in the writers’ room during the breaking of the “Razor” Battlestar movie. I wasn’t on the staff yet when Razor was being conceived — I was hired almost immediately following that point — so you won’t hear my voice, but you will get to eavesdrop on a actual working session. This should be invaluable for those of you who’ve always wondered about the dynamics of a room, or who are aspiring to work in one and wonder now what you’re getting yourself into. I think you’ll find it fascinating — I listen to these podcasts myself, and I’m startled to realize I never directed you to them before, Gentle Readers.
But we’re not the only show with cool stuff going on. There is also a very nifty blog that takes you behind the scenes of Eureka, Sci-Fi channel’s other hit. Check it out as well, especially if you’re a fan of the show.
