Science behind Science Fiction Comic-Con panel

We had a great panel yesterday chewing over how great science can make science fiction. Thanks to Jaime Paglia, co-creater and executive producer of Eureka (Eureka's third season premieres on the SCIFI channel on Tuesday), Kevin Grazier (science advisor to Eureka and Battlestar Galactica), and our very own Bad Astronomy blogger, Phil Plait. Hopefully, we'll be able to have some video from the panel before long: what's clear is that on Battlestar and Eureka, while making a good show that people will want to watch is obviously their first priority, the producers and writers really do care about getting the science right -- which means lots of grist for Science Not Fiction to blog about in the months to come. Yay!
