Does your Second Life activity integrate elements derived from your TV watching? A PhD student with the Resident name JoDa Imako is researching the intersection of television and virtual worlds, and because there's so much of that going on in Second Life-- like BSG47 pictured here, an entire sim devoted to roleplaying in the world of Battlestar Galactica-- she contacted me, and offered to share the results. It's a 10 minute anonymous survey and there's a chance to win a $50 gift certificate from Amazon. Go here to take it.

Interesting how your example is neither OWNED or LICENSED by Linden Labs or the dozens of "fans" making a living off of the Galactica brand selling products in the sim.
Obviously MMOs are part of the future for all genre TV shows and Movies...
But this example shows nothing but shortsited greed by fans and LL. These types of sims will only make Shows like galactica less common and more expensive to produce as their license is devalued by rogue companies like SL.
The L Word Sim would have been a proper choice.
