“Battlestar Galactica” has announced that its upcoming fourth (and final) season will find Lucy Lawless – the once (and future?) Xena – reprising her role as D’Anna, the religious Cylon zealot who broke away from the collective voice of her people and began dissention within their ranks.
But arguably even cooler (relatively speaking) is that the Sci-Fi Channel’s new interpretation of “Flash Gordon” has scored a major, major casting coup in the form of…wait for it…Sam J. Jones.
Who’s that, you ask?
Well, here’s Alex Ross’s interpretation of him, if that helps at all:
That’s right, the man that children of the ’80s know as Flash Gordon will be making an appearance on the new Sci-Fi Channel series. He’ll be playing Krebb, a seedy prisoner who reveals surprising information about the fate of Flash’s long lost father.
Well, *I* thought it was cooler, anyway.
