Both the BSG Pre-Flight Briefing and Pegasus Galaxy Forums have posted spoilers for ep. 10, the last ep before the season break until January. It promises to be a big episode from all accounts.
You can read the spoilers here and here.
But I warn you the spoilers are HUGE.
Just identified:
Koerner Library, University of British Columbia
(See more pics here).

Earlier this week, I challenged you to identify Vancouver sites which appeared on Galactica... who knew there were so many with a Vancouver connection? I offer other reader's identifications and some of their commentary below.
I'd also like to say Vancouver is a far larger city than I realized. That is all.
Thanks to everyone that's responded so far!
Simon Fraser University (SFU)
"also used in the BSG Pilot mini."
Ah ha! I knew it was institutional... (Photo found here.)
Scotiabank building----------
"Given that I can't see mountains in the background, they either edited them out or they're taking it from the north side."
Wow, that's some serious distortion. To see the original photo and some facts about the building, check out this site.
"Anywhere downtown, really. Maybe even in Yaletown, or that nice kinda rich beach side of downtown near English Bay. Near Silvia's."
"This is looking up from either Hastings or Pender ... there's an elevated highway of sorts."
HypaSpace interviewed Tahmoh and Grace Park on the set of BSG, "Grace Park & Tahmoh Penikett Talk BSG". HypaSpace is a news/info show produced by Space, Canada's sci-fi Channel.
You can see informal pics, the text of their interview and a cute clip of Grace and Tahmoh being silly. It's a must see.
Thankfully Sci-fi has recovered its senses and decided to re-air "Flesh and Bone." Of course, maybe they always planned to show them out of order. Anyways, this ep rocks in whatever order it appears.
Some nice CapBoomer development in this ep. Plus it was all nice and sunny for once. Though I've always wondered why she takes Helo's pulse the morning after... was she really concerned it was that good?
Anyone else struck by how poor a summary this is of what actually occurred? Silly Sci-fi.
Meanwhile, on far-off Caprica, another Sharon conspires with her Cylon associates Doral and Number Six to convince Helo to remain on the planet and start a new life.
Question: Season 2 Battlestar Galactica scoop? — GeraldSPOILERS and speculation behind the cut...
Ausiello: Two new Cylons will be introduced, and one of them may be played by an actor/actress who previously worked with one of the show's producers. Hmmm...In light of the info below... I'd bet that Lucy Lawless is one of the new cylons:
Lucy checked in with us about her appearance on Battlestar Galactica. She said she's signed on to do one episode of a character that could come back. The character she plays is a reporter, D'anna Biers, who is a threat to expose the goings-on on the ship. Her presence ratchets up tensions between the crew members.Thanks to Pam at Ron Moore's Galactica!
"This was a chance to work with old friend, David Eick, who was mentored by Rob on Hercules. They actually came to me to be on BG in the beginning, but with two tiny kids, I was not interested in the one-hour lifestyle. Looking forward to playing with the wonderful BG cast, though, and visiting my old Vancouver haunts from drama school days." -- Lucy
This post was inspired by the Unofficial Battlestar Blog's post identifying the garden on Cloud Nine as the University of British Columbia's rose garden and by Battlestar Aggregatica's id-ing the dramatic building below as the Vancouver Public Library.
So... where in Vancouver? aka Name that Building!
Vancouver Public Library
Any ideas? Any takers? It'd be fun to find out...
This building screams 70s institutional architecture. Every campus has one such concrete monstrosity. I'd be shocked if this wasn't on some university campus.
An imposing corporate edifice. Telecommunications perhaps?
Nice Dutch colonial architecture, with a friendly bike rack.
Is that a Sheraton hotel? And, more pressingly, what are those movie posters on the building at left?
Finally, identify this highway/parking structure!
The Sci Fi Channel aired a second sneak peek of Battlestar Galactica's second season during their "Sci Fi Monday" Stargate SG-1 lineup tonight. This commercial seemed to concentrate on the story behind the cylons.Go watch it now.
Tuesday's such a blah day, I've decided to spice it up with a new Tahmoh photo. Enjoy.
Dr. Noah Hamilton from Hush.
Thanks to Northern Lights for the cap.
Tahmoh has earned a listing over at TV.com. It includes a brief bio as well as many of his starring and guest-starring roles. If you register, you can add trivia or additional information, write reviews and track him.
See the Tahmoh Penikett entry at TV.com.
It also lists recent appearances on TV with episode summaries, which is handy.
(I've tried to compile the most comprehensive filmography I could here.)
According to the Futon Critic, NBC is preliminarily planning to air three BSG eps in early July.
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (7/9-1)*Thanks to the Unofficial Battlestar Blog for the news.

I've delayed posting this as I'm annoyed there aren't any shots of Helo, but, if you haven't already, you should check out the new promotional season 2 photos of the cast, hosted in beautiful high-res by Dark-Thoughts.net.
See the Season 2 Cast Photos.They're very pretty.
Sci-Fi has posted a cool new videoblog with producer David Eick.
Go behind the scenes with executive producer David Eick and see how episodes of Battlestar Galactica are created, from the concept meetings to the shoot on the soundstage, with this SCIFI.COM-exclusive behind-the-scenes feature.The first blog video shows behind-the-scenes of filming ep. 5. You also see inside a production meeting. It's good fun, but spoilery.
Lots of Helo in tonight's ep. It has alot of other redeeming features as well.
Go to scifi.com for a more complete summary and one deleted scene.
Light-years away, on Cylon-occupied Caprica, Sharon must make an impossible choice — if she is to save Helo's life, she must finally reveal to him that she is a Cylon.
"Battlestar Galactica," 9 p.m. Friday, Sci Fi: Hardball politics take center stage as the president of the Galactica fleet (Mary McDonnell) confronts challengers to her leadership, among them political prisoner Tom Zarek (original "Battlestar Galactia" star Richard Hatch). If you haven't done so yet, it's time to get caught up with this stellar sci-fi drama, which is airing repeats each Friday until the second season begins July 15.Thanks to Northern Lights for the cap.
Episode 209 - Flight of the PhoenixGo read the full spoilers!
If you're in the market for some Tahmoh icons, then you're in luck, thanks to Amsie (aka shadowserenity):
You can find these and other Tahmoh icons over at Northern Lights.
Since I seem to be all about learning how to add functionality to the site, I've added a countdown to the BSG second season premiere. You can see it in the sidebar at left. Less than a month to go!
So excited.
So now that Adam and Eve (oh, I mean, Helo and Boomer) have been discovered on Caprica, Helo's going to have some explaining to do re: his knocked up Cylon girlfriend.
So this week, I invite you all to weigh in on "What should Helo say about CapBoomer to keep his fellow Colonials from killing her?"
My current state of silliness has provided you with these options:
1. She just LOOKS like a cylon!Vote Now!
2. I've reprogrammed her.
3. She knows where Earth is!
4. She's hot.
5. Her spine glows red!
6. I knocked her up and think she's worth keeping around.
So after 4 showings of Hush on Lifetime, the clear winner for favorite Dr. Noah outfit is Towel.
Personally I'm more of a black leather jacket girl, but I bow to public opinion:
1. Towel - 62%See more Hush caps over at Northern Lights.
2. Black leather jacket - 17%
3. Goofy swim trunks - 10%
FAUX SPOILER TEST (continued)
Even spoiler phobes can test out my new feature. It has all the illicitness of clicking on a spoiler with none of the cost...
If you want to know what happens in Season 2...
So I'm not so much with the creativity, but I did manage to make this one site banner for anyone who'd care to link to the site:
It'll live down at the bottom of the left sidebar. Please don't hot-link or the site might come down and then everyone will hate you. Ok, maybe not everyone. But a vocal few.
A great new Helo vid by morelight has been posted over at Galactica Vids.
Stronger Than Dirt (June 2005)Go watch!

Tonight is the last time Lifetime is airing Tahmoh's thriller, Hush, so check it out if you haven't already...
June 12 at 7 pm et/ptHush must be doing well because they moved the last screening to primetime (from the early afternoon) as the lead in to the premiere of the new season of Strong Medicine. Or maybe someone in marketing liked the whole doctor link...
So much to spoil, so little time. Some quasi-new spoilers are floating around, for those interested, there are some interesting tidbits to be gleaned from the following two articles...
Over at Hollywood North Report:
"Battlestar Galactica's Season Two Is Shaping Up"UGossip has a small and not too surprising spoiler from E. J. Olmos:
Spoilers were revealed on upcoming episodes, including some interesting cast additions. Read on if you have an inquiring, Colonial mind.
Olmos is in the midst of shooting the Sci-Fi Channel's "Battlestar Galactica" series and will be rushing to fly down from production in Vancouver to make the Jonsson Cancer Center Epicurean Evening event. "If it's at all humanly possible, I will be there. We're taking it one hour at a time," he tells us. His Cmdr. William Adama character on "Battlestar" is in especially heavy scenes on the show that launches its second season in July....(What Olmos said is in the Comment to this post).
Tonight's ep is pretty awesome, though I guess I'd say that about most eps. Personally I prefer the human drama, but a good action ep is always fun. In this ep, the Colonies Strike Back!
Eh, it's also the barn ep. Lots of Helo scenes.
Go to scifi.com for a more complete summary and one deleted scene.
On Cylon-occupied Caprica, Sharon and Helo's flight from the Cylon overseers suddenly becomes more complicated when Sharon discovers she's pregnant.
In case you haven't discovered the wonderfulness that is Tahmoh's new thriller Hush, Lifetime is giving you yet another opportunity tonight.
It's not Shakespeare, but it's good fun.
HUSH - June 9 at 9 pm et/pt
Stars: Tori Spelling, Victoria Pratt and Tahmoh Penikett
Nina is thrilled when her hubby, Noah, suggests they move back to his picturesque hometown. She looks forward to the fresh start, but little does she know that Noah's crazy ex-girlfriend Callie has an unhealthy obsession with her spouse. Callie will stop at nothing to get her man back — including impersonating Nina. You won't believe what happens next!
This has been widely reported already, but TVGuide's Ask Ausiello has some news on Galactica's second season:
Got any intel on the next season of Battlestar Galactica?Here's hoping the scene makes it.
Ausiello: (NAME IN COMMENT BELOW) is gonna do a few episodes playing a Christiane Amanpour-type character. And I hear Sci Fi censors are freaking out about a really disturbing (yet visually stunning) scene in Episode 5. An upcoming issue of TV Guide will have more on that little controversy.
I know a bunch of you read the site through LiveJournal or news readers, but I thought I should still announce that the site is now available through FeedBurner. It's now much easier for anyone who wants to add the site.
Click on the buttons above for an easy add (more options at the feed site).
Kris Krug over at Battlestar Aggregatica has posted a photo he took of Tahmoh on the BSG set (ok in the parkland surrounding Vancouver).
Tahmoh yesterday:
(Click here or on the photo to see the larger version Kris posted to Flickr).I got a chance to snap a quick couple of Tahmoh Penikett (Helo). He was cool, but his car picked him up for the day before we had much of a chance to talk.
He also met and got to talk to Grace Park.
Go read about it and see the photos of Grace and Tahmoh!
Thanks so much to Kris!
As the philosophy of this blog is definitely not "no news is good news" and in the absence of any real Tahmoh news... I bring you a new kick-ass vid by un4scene.
Rock Star (June 2005)Go watch and comment!
Song: Rock Star by N.E.R.D.
Focus: Entire Cast
Size: 16.223mb
Notes: I wanted to make a fun action vid. I had originally intended to use source from the mini and season 1, but the mini was full of such great material it filled the video. This focuses on the fight of the cylons vs humans as they try to one up each other.
Silentwolfdog at Ragnar Anchorage has transcribed a great, funny joint interview with Tricia Helfer (Six) and James Callis (Baltar), which you can read over at Galactica Station.
Patrick Lee conducted the interview, which appears in the August issue of the official magazine of the Sci-fi channel. The article, entitled "Power Couple", is slightly spoilery for Season 2, but in any case is a great read...
If you had a real fight, who would win? You or Katee? You or Grace?So the Helo connection is rather weak, but it offers a behind-the-scenes look at filming and it's spoilery... and Six did kiss Helo in "33".
Tricia: Whoa, I don't know [laughs]. I think Katee could pull out some stops. I think I've got size and length. And I'm pretty strong as well. ... Grace is pretty tiny [laughs]. Yeah, she's just really small. So I'm thinking I'd have a pretty good shot.
James: I could whip every single one of them. ...Nobody better come near, or it's going to be the end of the world for them a bit sooner than they thought. ...They're all in trouble if they just think it. [This causes Tricia to laugh out loud.]
Northern Lights (A Tahmoh Penikett Image Gallery) has posted caps of all of Tahmoh's scenes from Season One. It's a great way to revisit each episode and a great resource for any creative fans out there.
You can submit any Tahmoh-related fan art to un4scene (who runs the site) and she'll post it for all to see.
For the most recent news, photos and interviews with Tahmoh, please visit the site's homepage:
Three hours of Tahmoh in one night! If you're a Tahmoh fan then his new thriller, Hush, is a must see. Lifetime is re-airing it tonight. 
HUSH
Friday, June 3rd at 11 pm et/pt
Genre: Suspense thriller
Stars: Tori Spelling, Victoria Pratt and Tahmoh Penikett
Nina is thrilled when her hubby, Noah, suggests they move back to his picturesque hometown. She looks forward to the fresh start, but little does she know that Noah's crazy ex-girlfriend Callie has an unhealthy obsession with her spouse. Callie will stop at nothing to get her man back — including impersonating Nina. You won't believe what happens next!
More about Hush here.
Ok, this ep just cracked me up. The dinner party scene is probably one of my favorites from the show. I thought the whole ep was fantastic, though I know everyone doesn't agree. Admittedly it was Helo-light, but still it was great.
Go to scifi.com for a more complete summary and three deleted scenes.
On Caprica, the Cylon overseers fear that the Cylon Sharon is developing a strange feeling toward Helo — love.
He played Vince in the "Smallville" episode "Resurrection" (3.15). I haven't seen the ep, but here's a plot summary that helps explain the pics:
While his father (John Schneider) is awaiting surgery, Clark (Tom Welling) befriends a young boy, Garrett (guest star James Kirk), whose brother Vince (guest star Tahmoh Penikett) just died from liver failure.Screen caps courtesy of un4scene and Northern Lights: A Tahmoh Penikett Image Gallery. There are lots more caps from Smallville at Northern Lights, so you should be sure to check them out.
However, everyone is shocked when Vince shows up at the hospital alive and seemingly well - until his liver starts failing again. In a desperate attempt to keep his brother alive, Garrett straps a Kryptonite bomb to himself and demands that Vince be given Jonathan's liver or he will blow up the building.
So some people don't watch Sci-Fi spoiler promo vids, but I've made a couple screen caps of Helo in it for everyone's viewing pleasure.
They seem to be set immediately after KLG, so I don't think they'll surprise anyone.
Excerpts from an interivew with BSG creator Ron Moore at EnigmaCon (at the University of California, Los Angeles) on May 28 have now been posted to Sci-Fi Wire.
More Galactica Deaths Coming?It largely repeats (confirms) spoilers that have already been released, though a few new tidbits are revealed...
Will more characters die in the upcoming second season of SCI FI Channel's original series Battlestar Galactica?
