Say what you want about cop dramas or reality shows - when it comes to great TV, give me some quality sci-fi. From Flash Gordon to Star Trek to today's shows, nothing gets you away from the problems of the current day like watching a bunch of aliens fight in a galaxy far, far away.

One of the most popular of today's current crop of science fiction shows is actually a remake of a "classic" of sorts. Battlestar Galactica ran in the late 70s and told the story of a rag-tag fleet of distant relatives of humans forced to fleet from a race of killer robots. With a cast filled with familiar faces like Lorne Greene, Dirk Benedict and Richard Hatch, sometimes it seemed more like "The Love Boat". But the special effects - rumored to cost over $1 million per episode - were cutting edge.

Fast forward to today, and a new generation of BSG. Grittier, edgier, and much more realistic. Sexier, too - both the good and bad sides have their share of worthy babes. Leading the list is the new Cylon model known only as "Number 6", portrayed in her many copies by Tricia Helfer. From the first time we saw her spine glow red as she seduced her way to the destruction of the colonies, we knew she was special. Thanks to a pictorial in the February issue of Playboy, we get to see just how special. And, courtesy of the MB, so can you ...

Oh, and if you want to catch her doing the Cylon thing, watch Battlestar Galactica Sunday nights at 10pm on the Sci-Fi Channel.
