Battlestar roundup: Get ready for some Revelations

As I’ve mentioned a few times before, tomorrow is the mid-season finale for the final season of Battlestar Galactica. Fortunately, the good folks at SciFi have shared a compelling clip to whet our appetite.
Here’s the preview of “Revelations” that’ll make you wish it already was tomorrow night:
And here’s some tidbits I gathered throughout the week:
• On TVGuide.com, Jane Espenson answers some questions from fans. Here’s a couple of tidbits:
What happened to Boomer after D’Anna killed Cavil? Did she escape?
Espenson: She certainly would’ve had time to. Heck, there was even time for Cavil to download, I suppose. Huh. How ’bout that.What is the “Goo-Bath” made of?
Espenson: Oh, I asked that too, and now I forget. It comes in big buckets and they heat it up and you can’t get it in your eyes. That’s all I remember. It’s also, mercifully, odorless.
• Then, there’s this article from Variety that talks about BSG’s music and composer, Bear McCreary. He also composes for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Eureka. An excerpt:
… McCreary was in Vancouver, on the set for the final episodes of “Galactica.” Sworn to secrecy about details, he allowed only that he was supervising a “musically intensive” sequence that involved the actors and his music being performed on-camera. “It’s the most daring use of music in a TV show that, maybe, has ever been tried. It’s going to redefine the role that a score can play.”
• Universal Pictures Digital Platforms Group is working with Glu Mobile to make a BSG game for mobile phones. “This action-packed game stations the player aboard the legendary ship in a top-down shooter position for a thrill-a-minute adventure that stretches from one end of the galaxy to another.”
• Finally, the NVISION 08 conference, a “visual computing event,” has snagged Tricia Helfer as a guest speaker. Rob Csongor, vice president of corporate marketing for NVIDIA, which is sponsoring the conference:
As an actress in the 21st century, she is an iconic example of how visual computing is transforming the television, film, and entertainment industries. She interacts with both real and virtual characters, and real and virtual sets, in award-winning television dramas as well as video games. Our NVISION 08 attendees will have the special opportunity to hear and see through the eyes of Tricia how story making and entertainment have become stunningly realistic and engaging through the use of visual computing technology.
Well, then. Of course, the fact that she’s totally hot and they’re a bunch of fanboys (and girls) doesn’t hurt, either.
