TERRA Nova 3 Convention.

January at 7:30pm.
29th December 2005 - Australian Screening of Season Two!

30th September 2005 - Xena Seasons DVD RE-Release in Australia
-Universal Australia is re-releasing ALL 6 seasons of Xena in Half Season

brand new cover art and will retail for around $29.83 a half season set.
Checkout Ezydvd.com.au
to Pre-order now. Release date is next month, Wednesday 12th October. Thanks

21st September - Kevin Sorbo coming to Australia!
Kevin Sorbo (Hercules / Andromeda) was in Melbourne, Australia this
September for a convention. Here are the details to this event:
First Contact Conventions
Date: 11 September 2005.
Place: State Library of Victoria - Village Roadshow Theatre
Entrance 3, La Trobe St (opposite Melbourne Central)
Visit
the website for more information.
-Checkout the photos of Kevin Sorbo in Australia for the "First Contact
Convention", which was held on September 11th in Melbourne. See
the photos here on Castle Software Australia Site.
ROVE LIVE QUEST
-I forwarded these details to Rove Live in the hope that they may book
Kevin to appear on their show! (Closest show to that date is Tuesday 13th
September). The last time I emailed them at Rove Live about a guest that was
coming to Australia in which I wanted them to look into booking for the show,
they managed to get him (Barry Williams from The Brady Bunch). So fingers
crossed they have Kevin Sorbo on the show!
-Also a note further to me contacting Rove Live about
booking Kevin Sorbo for next month I haven't received any reply.
-This weeks new press release of guests for the upcoming months shows
still doesn't include Kevin. The show closest to Kevin Sorbo's Australian tour
is Tuesday 13th September. I will confirm this closer to the date but it seems
un-likely they have been able to book Kevin for the show.
-Confirmed, Kevin will NOT be on Rove Live sadly.
-Speaking of Rove Live, Jay Laga'aia (Xena's Draco / Star Wars II and III)
appeared as a guest on Rove Live on Tuesday 9th August. He was there on the
segment "My Charader" to do some charades.
21st September 2005 - Lucy to Appear in 2 MORE Episodes!!
-Lucy has posted a note on her brand new Official
Lucy Lawless Fan Club Site, that she will be returning to the
set of Battlestar to film 2 MORE Episodes!
"I'll be filming two more episodes of Battlestar Galactica. Don't
know yet when they're going to air. Thought you'd like to be the first
to know. -- Lucy"
-This here is my theory on her return and this is just a fan guess. As
Battlestar season two only contains 20 episodes, the episodes in which Lucy
might be filming could be for the finale??
12th September 2005 - No Plans For Season Two Battlestar Screening For OZ
-This weeks new Australian TV Week Magazine has printed the email that I
sent in to the Letters "Just Ask" section (YAY I got printed)! But
bad news for Australian Battlestar and Lucy fans as this was the response:
Q: Do you know if Ten will be picking up the rights to the second
season of the amazing (but sadly poorly rated) Battlestar Galactica? I read
that Lucy Lawless will be making a guest appearance in an episode of the next
season - I hope we actually get to see it!
A: Brace yourself, Bradley, because Ten reports that it has no plans to
show the next season of Battlestar Galactica at this stage. It looks like
you'll have to read all about the warrior princess's exciting guest appearance
on the Internet.

the set of Battlestar Galactica. This photo is printed in the
current addition of the American magazine, Entertainment Weekly . Tag reads

8th July 2005 - Galactica Snags Xena - TV Guide Article
"Coming soon on Sci-fi Channel's Battlestar Galactica: Lucy Lawless, TV
news princess. According to executive producer David Eick, the erstwhile
Warrior Princess will guest-star as 'a fearless Christiane Amanpour-type
reporter' during the show's upcoming second season. "She's conducting an
investigation into the wrongful deaths of civilians at the hands of a
Galactica marine." And, let's hope, kicking some Cylon butt! -
Additional reporting by Bruce Fretts and lleane Rudolph.
1st July 2005 - Wrong Episode Titles
From Sharon at the Creation Fan site, she has spoken to Lucy and confirmed
that the previous episode titles are all incorrect. Lucy's episode is
supposedly number #8 (un-titled at this point). And that Lucy's appearance is
only the 1 episode.
29th June 2005 - Lucy On Set
At the Monkey
Cabal blog website they have posted some comments on the recent
Battlestar Galactica Convention hosted by Creation. The blog talks about Lucy
on the set:
"There's a new blonde on the set, and it's Lucy Lawless. She plays an
investigative reporter doing a documentary on the military, in an effort to
try and clean up the military's public image, which is not particularly great
as the season opens."
"There was a cast bet on who would call LL "Xena" first. It was
Katee (Starbuck). In a scene where Kara is punching a heavy bag, Katee manages
to knock the bag off its hook to the floor. She decides that's a very
impressive feat and pumps her arms in the air in victory. Then she tells Lucy,
"you think you're so tough, Xena?" Lucy then proceeds to ride the
fallen punching bag like a bronco."
Plus a source on Gateway Forum who attended the convention posted a bit more
on what was said about Lucy's appearance: "She is a reporter that is
doing a story on the military after some civials are accidentally killed by
colonial warriors and people are upset with the military. She also said things
really heat up when she is working on the story." And they also confirmed
that Lucy has Blonde hair.
And just a note that at the con, Tricia (Number 6) said that Lucy is currently
only in one episode but hinted that she may be back for more!
25th June 2005 - Lucy Guests in Three Episodes??
According to the IMDB website, Lucy is credited to appear in 3 episodes of
Battlestar's Season Two. These are the following episode titles: The Farm,
Home Part 1, and Home Part 2. These have not been confirmed.
20th June 2005 - Lucy Lawless to Guest Star on Battlestar Galactica Season
Two!
From TV guide Online's "Ask Aurelio", a question was asked about
the new season of Battlestar Galactica, which is currently in production.
Here is what was said:
Question: Got any intel on the next season of Battlestar Galactica?
Answer: Lucy Lawless 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 magazine will have more on that little controversy.
MORE news today on Lucy's character. The Co-producer for Battlestar has
commented: "She's going to do a Documentary on the day to day operations
of a Battlestar, and this causes a lot of controversy." Creation has also
commented that Lucy's appearance is only a 1 episode guest.
AND MORE news on her character. "Lucy has signed to do one episode that
could come back. The character she plays is a reporter, D'anna Biers. D'anna
threatens to expose the goings-on on the ship. Her presence ratchets up
tensions between the crew members."
So watch this space for further news on Lucy's Battlestar Galactica
appearance. This sci-fi show was amazing! IMO. One of my favourite new shows
for 2005. Australia has seen the mini series and first season sofar this year.
Season two of Battlestar has just started production in America and is set to
air later this year in America and the UK. No news on whether Channel Ten
(Australia) has picked up Season Two as ratings weren't too good for the first
season. They shipped Battlestar to a 10:30pm timeslot and cut all promotional
ads.
19th June 2005 - Lucy to be a CYLON??!
Now according to www.GalacticaStation.com
- "Lucy Lawless (of Xena: Warrior Princess fame will play a CNN-style
reporter named Anna. She will be one of two new Cylon models introduced this
season. Contrary to reports already posted, Lucy has been approached to play
the recurring role, BUT she has not accepted as yet. The new series fans are
hopeful that she will so that their favourite super-heroine will be able to
kick some "Colonial butt" aboard the Galactica this year."
Season Two of Battlestar begins airing in July in America. If you live in
Australia and missed the Mini Series and First Season screening on Channel Ten
this year, and wish to catch up on this series before Lucy's appearance you
can buy the Mini Series and Pre-order Season One now from EzyDVD.com.au!
16th June 2005 - And More Battlestar Lucy News.
AND MORE news on her character. "Lucy has signed to do one episode that
could come back. (Are we talking evil Cylon!!) The character she plays is a
reporter, D'anna Biers. D'anna threatens to expose the goings-on on the
ship. Her presence ratchets up tensions between the crew members."
13th June 2005 - More on Lucy's Battlestar appearance.

From TV guide Online's "Ask Aurelio", a question was asked about the

An interesting article I found: "A Simpsons comic
has Homer coming home drunk and waking to find he's become the New Zealand PM

Too bad that this is only in a comic. Would make a great episode! And maybe
another guest voicing role for Lucy on the show. hehe
