Flurry of BSG articles and interviews in the press

With the premiere tomorrow night, a tremendous flurry of articles have begun to appear in the press. I can't promise to post them all, but here are a few:

This Newsday article appeared a couple days ago and is an interesting read:

Sci-fi seeks critical mass

Those in the genre say it encompasses more than space and special effects and deserves critics' respect and Emmy consideration

As a follow-up, BSG received 2 Emmy nominations today, none for acting:

- Outstanding Special Visual Effects For A Series ("33")
- Outstanding Special Visual Effects For A Series ("The Hand of God")

The Boston Globe had this article to offer:

And now some SPOILERY interviews with the cast:

A Six And A First: How Initial Reactions Prove Wrong

Helfer Dishes On Other 'BSG' Characters

"Battlestar Galactica" star Tricia Helfer, who plays Number Six, talked about other characters viewers are likely to see--some maybe they won't--in the upcoming second season at the recent Shore Leave sci-fi convention in Hunt Valley, Maryland.

This is an older spoilery interview with Katee Sackhoff that I really enjoyed, so I thought I'd also blog it as I'm on a mad, only slightly related to Tahmoh, posting spree that:
