Screen Caps of Tahmoh in Cold Squad


Tahmoh played Det. Ray Chase in Cold Squad's seventh season. It's the show that the US's Cold Case is based upon.

Cold Squad is a one-hour police drama originally on CTV that focuses on 'cold cases'; unsolvable cases that have gone for years without a solution. Each week there is a new 'cold case' brought out of the woodwork to solve, which may date back five years, or could even date back fifty years.
Thanks to Ide Cyan who runs the Cold Squad LiveJournal community, we have caps of Tahmoh in the show's seventh season credit sequence:


You can also find them over at Northern Lights.

Thanks again to Ide Cyan and the LJ Cold Squad Community!


If anyone has access to Season 7 episodes of Cold Squad please email me!

New Spoilery Interviews with Moore and Bamber

Kristin from E!Online has posted the transcripts of her two interviews with Ron Moore and Jamie Bamber. She asked them questions submitted by fans with some really interesting results. The interviews are very spoilery, however, so beware.

Battlestar Q&A with Jamie Bamber

Question: Which Battlestar actor makes you laugh the most on set?

Jamie: We have practical jokers, but who makes me laugh the most? I would say James Callis, but I don’t get to do stuff with him very much. Otherwise Katee and I have a lot of fun, and Tahmoh too. Tahmoh Penikett is a great laugh to work with on set.
Battlestar Q&A with Ron Moore
Question: When will there be a confirmation that Battlestar Galactica was picked up for a season three?

Ron: We’re having general conversations about it. The network hasn’t made it a formal pickup. I’d say the indications look good. But they don’t have to pull the trigger on it for a few more months. It’s just the way networks work, they will probably not do it until they have to. February or March.

I’m optimistic. I’ve been optimistic since we did the miniseries that we’d get picked up and I feel that we’re going to get picked up.

Tahmoh dines out in Vancouver

Today's Metro Vancouver newspaper features a restaurant review that doubles as an interview with Tahmoh. Tahmoh and the critic, Claudia Kwan, dine together at The Smoking Dog Restaurant.

Galactica one of year's Top 10 shows

Matt Roush had nothing but praise for BSG in his Friday "Ask Matt" column.

Question: What did you think of Battlestar Galactica's season finale last Friday? Though the subject matter was difficult and dark, I thought it was brilliantly done and proved to be both disturbing and powerful. The strong emotional reaction it elicited from me and many other fans is a testament to the power of well-crafted storytelling. — Beth

Matt Roush: The show is, pure and simple, a knockout. It was a completely gripping hour, unsettling in its depiction of inhumanity (toward the humanoid Cylons) and wonderfully intense as it built the conflict between Adama and the ice-cold admiral (always good to see Michelle Forbes). It's going to be a long wait for new episodes this winter. Right now, Galactica has dibs on a coveted place in my year-end Top 10 list.

BSG Official Companion now available

I haven't seen the book in stores yet, but online retailers are shipping out the new Battlestar Galactica Official Companion, published by Titan Books.

Battlestar Galactica is back! The brand new, ‘re-imagined’ version of the cult 1970s series has quickly become the most critically acclaimed SF show on TV, with massive viewing figures to match. With its classy ensemble cast, including Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell, its cutting edge special effects, superb production design and gritty, adult-oriented scripts, the new Battlestar Galactica is being hailed as both a worthy successor to a classic original, and a stunning piece of television in its own right.

Titan Books have been on set from the beginning, and now proudly present the official companion, packed with exclusive interviews, photos, behind the scenes secrets, and a complete episode guide to the mini-series and first season.
When mine arrives, I'll post some of the Helo and/or Tahmoh tidbits.

Poll: Helo in the second half of Season 2

No Helo spoilers have been released for the rest of Galactica's second season, so I've created this Entirely Speculative poll.

In eps 211-220, what do you think will happen?

- Will Helo walk around in a towel?

- Will he become a happy father?

- Will he meet an unfortunate end? (Ack! we hope not.)
In any case, share your opinions and theories by voting! Or comment and let me know what you're thinking.
New Poll at right. Vote now! ---------->
