Ollie Johnston, the last surviving member of the group of Disney animators known as the ‘Nine Old Men’ has passed away at age 95.

Q: Is this the review of the current episode?
A: No, this is our weekend review, and we’re going back to the original 1978 movie.
Q: Movie? Wasn’t Battlestar Galactica a 70s tv show?
A: Yes, but it was also a theatrically-released movie.

A: Possibly, but read on, and perhaps we can discuss the matter over a drink at the space-disco.

As proof that I saw it… If you want the spoilers I didn’t want (as I’m following on DVD, and behind) keep reading below.

Galactica, Doctor Who, a number of writers you’ve read (including Charles Stross), but no novels we’ve reviewed as yet, are up for the 2008 Hugos, to be awarded at WorldCon in Denver this summer.
Cloverfield isn’t mentioned– but Heroes‘ entire first season could win best dramatic presentation, long form.
