Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome has finally landed a release date: this Friday, November 9! You can watch the first installment on YouTube's Machinima Prime channel, but you'll have to wait for the next ten webisodes as they'll roll out over the course of four weeks. Syfy swears they'll air the movie one day. Sure.

Speaking of BSG, Ron Moore is working on a Outlander series for Starz. See, today isn't so bad.

CBS is prepping an NCIS: L.A. spin-off, which reminds me of how you should never step on a cockroach to kill it, because then sometimes all of the babies come out and infest your life even more.

Bill Lawrence is producing and writing an ensemble cop comedy for ABC, titled Feel the Force. Did you also exhale a sigh of relief again that it wasn't called MILF Officers?

Peter Gallagher, bless his heart, is coming to How I Met Your Mother to play "the cocky and aloof Professor Vinick who taught Ted architecture during his time at Wesleyan University." If that episode also includes a plot for Lily and Marshall that doesn't involve the rest of the gang, it'll be the best episode in years.

And finally, I leave you with what I at first thought was a modern day shot of Freaks and Geeks' Samm Levine, but as it turns out is just a photo of Shameless' Sunkrish Bala. I can't be the only one who had to do a double take, right? In any event, they (along with Grey's Anatomy's Chelsea Harris) have joined Phys Ed, a drama pilot by American Pie 2's David H. Steinberg. This is by far the most confusing news story I have ever read.
