Sunday is Mother’s Day, so SciFi Saturday is all for the gals.

TV

Ladies, did you know that BSG could save your marriage? I didn’t either. According to the folks at MSN Entertainment News, the dual personality of the show can save us some of those “snuggle-less” nights in front of a separate TV in a separate room. We get a sexy thriller, and our fellas can enjoy an explosive space opera. So this week, give him what he really wants - a night on the couch with Battlestar and you.

Movies

Her mother would be proud. Georgie Henley is back to play Lucy in Narnia’s Prince Caspian, and she’s bringing a new level of maturity with her. The thirteen-year-old told SciFi Wire that she found it slightly easier to play the youngest Pevensie this time around. “I felt, because I’ve grown, Lucy has grown…” Looking forward to seeing the older you (and Lucy) in action, Georgie!

Random Fandom News

Just in time for Mother’s Day: J.K. Rowling wins her case! No, not that case. Rowling won the right to go to court, Wednesday, over a photog’s taking pictures of her baby boy without her permission. The case had previously been dismissed by a judge, but the appeals court approved a “test case” to determine if English law allows for the pic-happy paps to pilfer public photos without parental permission. In case you missed it, that’s Mothers: 1, Photogs: 0.

Conventions

FedCon USA! Visit the Hyatt Regency in Dallas, TX June 13 -15 and see James Callis, Aaron Douglas, Paul McGillion, Connor Trinneer, Richard Hatch, Anthony Montgomery, Garret Wang - and that’s not even the half of it. That’s right, some of the hottest guys in Science Fiction all in one spot! Oy, do I wish I had more vacation time.

Future Fandom of the Day

All mothers need a strong female role model. If I had to choose, I think Agent 99 would do quite nicely. That’s why today’s future fandom is Get Smart. Whether you’re looking forward to the Anne Hathaway version on June 20, or you prefer the classic 99 from the 1960’s sitcom, as portrayed by Barbara Feldon, there is something to be learned from such a lovely and strong woman. For me personally, it was my dating mantra. “Men will never learn, so you might as well Get Smart.”
